"Yeah yeah. I already got your message, Eugene. You don't need to tell me twice." I sighed. I quickly picked up my pace and started walking towards my office.
Tak. Tak. Tak.
My heels creating noise with the marble tiles. COL Inc. was everything no-one could have imagined. With a modern aesthetic, nothing was left out of place. Along with a white, grey, and black color scheme, it had designated areas for our curriculum. A space large enough to have a gym, areas for combat training, classes for the students here and offices for our experienced.
All around me were students; beginners and intermediates. Each and every one here to accomplish a single task. To stop evil. I casually glanced around me, it seems like there will be a good batch of new employees this year.
Quickly checking my watch, I was one minute late. I sighed in frustration again, as I reached for my ID card. Scanning it, I passed through the entrance and found myself in an elevator.
Ding.
The elevator doors opened and I was greeted with, "Good morning Miss." I walked out and nodded in response.
"Ahh. Miss Temptation. I'm glad you're finally here," a tall and well dressed man purred. Turning around in his leather chair we got a good look at Eugene. He had black hair with natural bits of grey hair. Sleeked back and styled, it framed his sharp jawline.
"Oh shut up, Eugene. Stop being formal. I'm Ali not..." I hesitated, raising my hand and pretending it was him to mock him, "...not Miss Temptation." He only chuckled in response.
"Okay, in all seriousness, did you look at my texts because you have a new mission and it was of grave urgency, Ali."
"No. I was rushing out.." I ran my hair through my fingers.
"It seems as though your day was stressful?" His breath suddenly so near I only smelled mint.
"Not really. Just woke up on the wrong side.. clearly." I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. His around my waist.
"Would you like a... "
Ding.
"And here is our highest most skilled employees-" a crowd of students suddenly showed up in our workspace along with a teacher giving a tour. "Ahh.. Oh.. Miss Temptation..."
"Ahh. Mr.." I hesitated. We stood up properly, not slightly embarrassed. Eugene's arm still wrapped around my waist.
"Sage."
"Right. Mr. Sage. What brings you the honor?"
"Well. Aha, today was tour day, the CEO has previously decided on granting us the opportunity to visit the top two most accomplishing seniors. They had some questions for you two."
My mouth opened in shock, as Eugene mumbled underneath his breath. "Ah yes! That was today! Please come on in." I welcomed them.
