"Oh, hello, Liam." I greet, feigning a smile.

"It's such a delight to see you," He smiles at me, "How are you doing?"

He props his hand up against the wall, leaning on it and creating a small barrier so i couldn't walk past him.

He wore a light, tan suit that hugged his body in a flattering way and his was hair was combed and neatly pushed to the side.

"Quite well," I hum, looking into his warm brown eyes, "Yourself?"

play it safe, play innocent and friendly,

which wont be hard to do since he's already such an easy going person.

"Swimmingly! I have just received a new kit of dissecting tools from Zay-Mr. Malik, you're welcome to stop by my office and take a look at them if you want." He offers, holding his free hand up as he spoke.

If i went down to his office, i might be able to sneak a glance at his papers!

The only problem is that the place might be booby-trapped and i would get caught.

"I actually might take up your offer," I nod, watching as he beams, "But i'm afraid i'm stuck to the upstairs. Would you be able to bring them up here so i can see them?"

He frowns, "Unfortunately not, the equipment i use is strictly for the basement. If i brought them upstairs, they could become desterilized or damaged."

When he was looking at me as he spoke, his eyes fell down to my neck.

This necklace just seems to be such a conversation starter.

Purchase yours now, a essential party piece! Example number 2!

The friendly smile he wore morphed into a smirk, "What a beautiful necklace you're wearing."

"Thank you." I simply respond, not wanting another fit involving this necklace like downstairs.

I hope Louis is okay, i hadn't meant to scare him. I'm figuring i could check on him once i make my way down to the basement.

Since leaving by myself didn't work, im considering hitching a ride with Avery. Although im not sure if she'll let me since im only supposed to be upstairs.

Im sure she'd love it if im caught, she could finally work upstairs again.

"I presume Mr. Malik presented that to you?" He asks, his smirk growing when i nod.

"Yes," I smile, "I like it very much."

He laughs.

"Oh im sure you do," He smugly responds, "I enjoy the necklace on you as well."

I dont know how to respond, trying to brush off his oddly 'knowing' tone.

"How much time has passed since he gave you this necklace?" He questions, a smile still lingering.

I think, "A couple days have passed, but i haven't kept track."

"All is well," He assures, staring at the ground for a second as he thinks, "How have you been enjoying your stay here?"
