Took you Long enough (Jonah x FEM reader) EDITING

Secret Shopper pt 1

I had come in late to work today because of oversleeping, and apparently there was talk about a secret shopper.
Rushing in towards the break room to clock in, with a duffel bag of my fabrics and sewing stuff, Jonah was standing in the hall admiring a picture of his face on the wall for being the 'Top scorer'. Whatever that means.

Sighing as he stopped me, he asked what my opinion was on something. "Y/n, do you think this is a little over the top?" Pointing to the picture, I looked at him a little dumbfounded. "Uhh, I don't know man. Top.. scorer? For what?" He seemed slightly shocked. "The uh, corporate policy test. I got a perfect score on it." I 'ooh-ed' in response, understanding what he was talking about now. "The CPT, I forgot about that. I think I got like an 86 on that."

"Well then yea, I think it is a little over the top. Same goes for the name tag 'Ace'."
Chuckling as I pointed out the name tag switch, I left Jonah to admire his picture.

I was getting an energy drink, that I was totally gonna pay for later, when Garrett wheeled up to me in an urgent manor. "Y/n! Prank idea on Mateo."
Opening the drink, giving him a confused glance. "Mateo? Why him?" "He called me a sexual predator in front of a hot girl, so why not." "Fair enough, I gotta stack shelves though so can you tell me on the way?" He nodded as I started walking towards an aisle.

"Ok, Mateo is paranoid about the secret shopper. Soo I made him think that the secret shopper is an employee, and I need you to pretend to be the shopper." I chuckled at the idea, "what makes you think he'd believe that? I've been working here for longer than he has." Before Garrett could beg me into doing it, Mateo rushed up to us.

"Guys! Guys, I have reason to believe that.. Jonah, is the secret shopper!" Looking at him with a surprised expression, "what.. uh, what makes you think that bud?" Mateo gave me an almost offended sassy look. "Ha uhm have you seen Jonah working." "Fair." "Anyway, I'll be in the security office watching Jonah. In a.. none.. creepy way!" After Mateo backed away, I turned back to Garrett. "Oh I'm SO doing that!"

Then we high fived and went out separate ways.

Since Cheyenne wasn't working today, work was going super slow and I was actually stocking shelves. Though I would take a break every minute basically to go over stuff in my sketchbook. That is until Jonah came up to me.

"Ah Y/n! Just the girl I was looking for. Am I being unreasonable? I mean, I'm just saying we should be doing stuff by store policy. I don't get why Amy doesn't agree." He was making a lot of hand gestures and shrugged quite a bit. "ˢᵒ ᵗʰᵃᵗ'ˢ ʷʰᵃᵗ ᵗʰᶦˢ ᶜʰᵃᵖᵗᵉʳˢ ᵍᵒⁿⁿᵃ ᵇᵉ ᵃᵇᵒᵘᵗ ʰᵘʰ. UHM. Well.. what is it that Amy isn't agreeing on?" He looked at me confused but got right back on track. "She wants me to hang up these flyers to let people know that the charcoal is now in grocery, which is also something that we were arguing about because it's not sup-" Raising a hand up to cut him off. "Ok! Well those wouldn't be flyers then. They would be posters."

"What? Why would that matter?" I raised an eyebrow at him, and set down my sketchbook. "Well posters are normally used for informational purposes you know? You ever have a science class where you needed to present a poster on a topic?"
He had to think for a moment, and nodded but kept explaining his point. "Ok yea, but even with the charcoal-" Cutting him off again. "Yea I get that, the store wants it here but Amy wants it there yada. She has a good point though on keeping it in patio, so just humor her for now kay?"

Jonah stayed silent this time, sticking his tongue against his cheek as a puzzled gesture as he listened. "Look I'd love to help with this but I have a prank to do." And with that I was off.

°°°°°

Finding Mateo in the security office was simple. He sat there looking through the camera footage of Jonah working throughout the day. "Heyy Mateo. Still think it's Jonah?" Slightly spinning in the chair keeping an eye on the monitors. "Think? I know so. Did you know that he's from Illinois? Which.. is where cloud 9 headquarters is located!"
I hummed in response, acting as if he was getting somewhere. Leaning against the door frame, I crossed my arms and looked around the room.

"Mmh. I wonder what Corporate is gonna think of the inappropriate use of company property.. wouldn't want someone to say something huh?" Matteo's hand froze on the mouse once I finished talking. Turning in the chair like you would see in mafia type movies, he seemed to have a petrified expression on his eyes. "What.. uh, what do you mean Y/n?"
Shrugging, I pushed off of the doorframe and turned to leave. "Ooh nothing. Tsk tsk" as I walked away I pulled my phone out and acted like I was gonna call someone.

It didn't seem like he was going to chase after me, so I hoped that was enough to make him think the secret shopper was me.
