Y/N POV

            After Alex dropped me off, I entered Schlattcoin, but that didn't mean I wasn't hesitant to step any farther into the building. I still couldn't believe I had done that. I couldn't even tell Alex that it happened. I mean, why would I?

I jump at the sound of Jambo meowing, trying to get my attention. I glance around before walking over to his desk. "What is it buddy?" I ask him, my tone grows all high-pitched and I'm taken aback by my own voice. I clear my throat and stand up straight.

"Take. Jambo" He presses his buttons. I'm confused. "Up. Up. Up" Jambo spams another button. He leaps onto the top of the desk and comes face to face with me.

"You want me to pick you up?" I question. Jambo only nudges my shoulder. I awkwardly hold out my arms and he jumps into them. "Uhh, I think Schlatt will be mad if I take you away from your post.." I trail off. Jambo hisses and I flinch. "Okay! Okay! Where do you wanna go?"

Jambo looks towards the elevator, so I could only assume he wanted to go there. I step over and Jambo presses the button to call the elevator. He scares me. The elevator doors open and I step inside, bringing Jambo close to the button panel. He presses the button to the eleventh floor. I get nervous, but don't say anything.

Maybe I could press the button to the ground floor and call Alex, get him to drive back here, and run out. Not that hard. It actually seems pretty easy. I glance down at Jambo and then at the buttons on the elevator. Would he attack me? I flinch when the doors slide open. Jambo meows again, directing me to move forward. So I do. I'm following a cat's instructions.

And wow, what a surprise. He led me right to Schlatt's office. I hug Jambo tighter, he claws at the door and I jump, quickly pulling him away from the door. I hear a quiet voice behind the door. "Come in..!"

I quietly gasp and glare at Jambo. "I can't believe you..!" I cry out. Jambo looks up at me and I sigh, he jumps out of my arms and rushes away. I take a deep breath and open the door.

The room was dim, the curtains were closed and the only light that was on was Schlatt's desk lamp. He glances up from his paperwork, locking eyes with me. I only became more flustered when I saw he was wearing gold rimmed glasses, he seemed to have gotten a haircut too. "Were you clawing at my door..?" Schlatt asks me.

"Uhh," I slip into the room. "No, it was Jambo" I tell the truth, I don't think he believes me though. Schlatt tilts his head, and somehow I knew that that was him telling me to close the door all the way. So I stupidly did.
