♤The Minds of Money and Power♤

♤Mistake?♤

over the following weeks the office was pindrop silent, the only meetings that were held were out in the conference building otherwise there were no meetings between kamala and any others besides her assistant whom only visited ever so often to revise her schedule or drop off documents that had to be signed

kamala only seemed to acknowledge lucy's presence in the mornings when she was dropped off at the office and back to her house, otherwise neither of the women spoke to eachother

lucy on the other hand had grown bored of her job since the crowd died down as of recent and there were no constant rush

after a minute of pacing in her thoughts, lucy finally decided to address the elephant in the room and to cool the tension between the both of the women for good

she knocks on the office door and waited for a response

"Come in"

hearing kamala's invite, she stepped into the office and noticed her immediate change in demeanor

"don't give me that look, I'm here to bury the hatchet"

"Oh? That's very nice of you, Espinoza, have a seat and let's talk"

lucy takes a seat across from her, the the office goes silent for smallest moment before she spoke

"alright let's act like you didn't fuck the priestess"

"she was a priestess?!"

"Did you not know? I thought you did since you claimed to know her"

"god no, I mean I did but not like that, she never mentioned that- wait how do you know?"

"I did a little stalking of my own"

they both sighed and sat back in the awkwardness of the office for the longest moment, processing the newfound information to the both of them

"soo did she seduce you orrr-"

"drop it, Espinoza"

"i mean she's kinda cute but come on-"

"Espinoza"

"Yes ma'am"

lucy sits back, holding her silence while trying to fight the smug grin on her face

"what did y-"

"Mrs.Espinoza, I'm more then capable of lifting you off that chair and throwing you off of this building so I'm giving you one more chance to keep quiet"

lucy nods, still occasionally glancing up at kamala with the smugness still laced her expression

the two sat in silence for the longest while, kamala occasionally looking up to acknowledge lucy's presence, both of them refused to speak before kamala broke the silence

"are you going to guard my office or sit there and stare at me all day"

"I'd much rather stare at you, you're quite easy on the eyes"

"pardon?"

"nothing, it's almost the end of your shift, I'm going to go get the car in the mean time you wrap up here"

kamala nods and lucy makes her way out into the parking lot to start up the car, few minutes after, kamala gets into the car amd they make their way to her house

few minutes into the drive, kamala sighs heavily and rests back in her seat

"can you make a stop and get us some coffee, please?

"of course"

after getting some coffee, they continued their drive to her place, once there, lucy pulls over in the driveway and glances over at kamala about to say something before holding herself back

she realized kamala had already fallen asleep, leaning up against the car window, she knew there was no possible way of getting her out without waking her up so she decided to wait for a bit in hopes that she could awake

few minutes passed and lucy began to lose hope that she'd awake, after all she probably had an exhausting day at work beforehand, considering all her options she simply sat back and locked the doors of the car in case she also fell asleep

hours and hours passed, the rain came down after midnight and lucy was growing more and more tired until she could've barely kept her eyes open, she took constant sips of coffee but even that didn't keep her fully awake

she glanced back over at kamala once more who had seemed to be sleeping ever so peacefully to the light taps on the windshield made by the rain pouring down upon them, noticing the goosebumps on her hands, possibly from being cold

she took off her jacket and placed it across kamala's lap, covering her arms in the process while she looked out the window, it didn't seem as if the rain was going to come to an end any time soon and the area was too foggy to be able to drive to anywhere, with no options left she had decided to stay in her current position until the morning reached

hoping to occupy her time by daydreaming and counting droplets of rain on the windshield but that was only fun for so long before she slowly began to all asleep herself
