CHAPTER 10

THE ACTUAL LIYUE DEPARTMENT

✧

"The plane has landed, please see to it that all your belongings are with you, and thank you for flying Teyvat Airlines."

Waking up to the sound of the speakers, you groggily stand up to get your luggage.

"I'll get that for you," Diluc grabs your luggage from the compartment. "Thank you, sir," you muttered, shying away from his stone-cold gaze as you took your luggage from his hands.

"Please, just call me Diluc."  He smiles, contrasting his cold stare. You quickly nodded your head, "Sorry Diluc."  'It feels odd to say that... boss please change your mind' You silently prayed, not noticing that his smile grew a tiny bit bigger.

"Good, you learn quickly. Say, Ms. Y/N, let me bring your luggage to your condo."

'That is not very boss-behavior of you Sir, what would the others think? Well, since when did I care about what others thought?'

"Are you sure Si- Diluc? Won't this hinder your schedule today?"

"Don't worry Ms. Y/N, I don't have many things planned today. I can make the extra trip, besides I wouldn't want anyone to be struggling with this, especially you."

"Thank you Diluc, and please, just call me Y/N." He nodded as he took the luggage into his hands once again. "Let's go now, the Department heads must be waiting."

After a greeting from Diluc, you all headed to the condominiums for unpacking.

And since Diluc offered to help you with your luggage...

I'm inside of my boss's car. Cold sweat trickled down your back as you remembered the conversation you had with him in front of the airport.

You are about to call a taxi when a hand grabs your shoulder. You turn around, and you're greeted with a smile from a certain redhead.

"Y/N, I said I would help you with your luggage, remember?"

"Ah, yes I remember Sir. I just thought that you only meant carrying it out the airplane." He laughed, "Oh no, dear. I'll assist you with bringing it to your residence."

He then grabbed the luggage from your hand and held your other hand, guiding you towards his car. His grip was strong, but not enough to hurt you, just enough to keep you with him.

Once his long strides finally reach the back seat door of the car, he lets go of the luggage to open the car door for you. He smiles at you.

"And for the last time, it's Diluc."

You shook your head, 'he must be so angry at me!' Unaware of the current dilemma your boss was also in.

'Was my grip too strong? Did I scare her?' He looks at you from the corner of his eye, his brows creased when he sees your dejected expression.
