He has a smile on his lips, but it doesn't reach his eyes, I notice again.
"I have no reason to run from you, so I don't know why you would think that Mr. Ames." I lie.
The truth is; I am running away from him. I just don't know why. Just like I don't know why I feel so hot at the moment.
"I don't have a reason either I guess." He says thoughtfully. He nod's his head.
"You may leave. " He dismisses me then.
"Ohk..." I reply with a little hesitation. But I turn around and go anyway.

That was a weird conversation to have with one's employer, but for some reason, I feel excited. Like something is about to change.
"Can I please get everyone's attention," Debbie says to the whole room.
"So as you know, interns don't stay interns forever. Some of you will work here forever, some will decide in a few years that this company or job you have is not for you anymore and then some of you will quit in a few months."
She takes a breath and picks up a list.
"But for now we will start training you in different departments. If it is a fit, then you will go to work there after the end of your internship. So here I have a list. On it is the departments that you will get training in for the next two months. After the two months, you will change. And so on." She then turns to a notice board and sticks the paper on it.
"Go see where you will be working tomorrow, people."
"Yoh, Callan, come check this out." Danny, the only person I became friend's with here, calls out.
"Ha! We've both been assigned to admin. Guess where." She says excitedly.
"Where?" I ask.
"The twenty-eighth floor." She grins excitedly.
My heart makes a flutter. And I feel hot again.

"So Natty baby, how are you. We haven't seen you in weeks." James asks.
"Are those people treating you, like you deserve to be treated?" The whole group is here tonight. The fact that Jennifer and I now live in a different city than the rest, makes it a little harder for all of us to get together. But we have been trying to get past that little detail. We've been friends for a long time, and I think we have those kinds of friendships that last for a lifetime.
"I'm good, and those people are treating me just fine, thank you," I reply.
"Come on... is that all Nat. Are you not going to tell us about one of the most influential business' in the business world." James' girlfriend Mel asks.
"No, Mel there is nothing to really tell. I'm there to do work and earn money for it." I say.
"When did you become so serious, Nat?" James says again.
"When I became aware that life is a serious place," I say with sarcasm.
"She's been like this since she started working at Ames corporation. I've been trying my best to save the fun her. But I think we've already lost her. She goes to bed at nine pm these days, Even on Friday nights, skirts and dresses must be appropriate, makeup is to the minimum and other things that make me too sad to even mention." Jennifer says mockingly serious.
"Isn't that what happens when a person grows up?" I ask them.
"No, that is what happens when you grow old, Nat." Louis also comments.
"Aren't you people supposed to be happy that I've become this responsible, mature person?" I ask, annoyed by them.
Before anyone can respond, I get up and make my way to the restrooms.
When I'm on my way back from the restrooms I bump into someone.
"I'm sorry." I apologize to the guy. But before I can move away, a familiar voice stops me.
"Fancy seeing you here Miss Callan."
For a short moment I feel irritated by his presence and I want to give him a sarcastic reply. But then I rethink. He is my boss.
"Hello again, Mr. Ames." I greet him politely.
"What are you doing around this part of the town ms Callan? I've never seen you here." I realize his making small talk. And I pretend not to notice when his friend raises an eyebrow his way.
"I've heard this is where the rich hang out, so I decided to come and see if I can catch a handsome rich man." I feel a moment of triumph when I notice the shock on his face, but only for a moment.
Because our eyes lock after my reply.
"And have you had any luck yet?" He asks.
"No, not yet," I respond while holding his gaze. I notice there are green specs in his deep blue eyes. And I also notice that I'm getting hot again.
"Well, your luck has just changed."
"How so?" I ask. The formal titles have disappeared now. Along with everyone else.
"I'm sure I can give you more than any other guy in here. And that doesn't just apply to money." He replies with arrogance.
"Sounds like bragging to me," I say.
"It's not bragging if it's true." He responds with a smirk.
"There you are, Nat!"
Someone suddenly says next to me. For a moment I feel disappointment. But then I pull myself together. And I notice Mr. Ames' friend head is going back and forth between us two. And I realize what just happened.
My boss was flirting with me. My extremely sexy, rich boss. And without saying anything, I turn around and leave.

Here I am again with this question. What do you think? Do you have feels or anything?
