Phil POV

Month after Tense Game Night.

I am laying on my bed watching tv. I'm cuddled up under my duvet trying to stay warm. I silently laugh at the show then turn my head to look at Dan, who is leaning against my headboard with his Laptop in his lap. "Dan, are you even watching?" I question snuggling closer to him. He looks down at me real quick and smiles. "Sorry Phil, I am sorting through potential editors to work for me." he explains going back to examining his screen. My whole focus is now on that statement. I thought he already would have gotten a new editor by now. I have been gone for over a month now. "You haven't hired one yet?" I ask with a confused expression. "No, I have been using the publishing team for the last month while I collected a good group of candidates." He sighs. "I finished my last interview up two days ago, so now I have to make a decision." he adds on. I wonder who he will pick. What if they are better looking than me or smarter? What if Dan starts to like this person more than me? "Can I help?" I smile sitting up next to him mimicking his body. If I can help pick maybe I can choose someone that isn't super attractive. "You want to help, why?" he smirks at me. I shly look away. "Just want to be helpful" I lie and smile at him. "Mhmm sure. I will let you look but in the end I will make the final choice ok?" he says.

We start to scroll through the different candidates and overall there are about 30 different people. All of them to seem to be qualified, meaning they have had experience in legal editing before hand. Which already makes them 10 times better than I was. I noticed that there is an equal amount of female-to-male candidates and all of them are very attractive. So it looks like my plan isn't going to work, there's not a single person that he wouldn't find that attractive. I sigh and frown. Dan leans over and peaks my lips. "You know you're not being that helpful?" he smiles at me. I try and smile back but a frown find my face again. "Are you sure that's everyone?" I ask quietly and I see Dan head shake yes. "Why does that seem to make you sad? Do you not think any of these people will work?" he asks while looking back at his screen. "Ugh no, anyone of them will work out perfectly. It's just that they are all so attractive." I mumble out which somehow causes Dan to burst out laughing. I give him a look so he knows that I don't find this funny. "I'm sorry for laughing babe. But your face and tone was so funny" he apologised but he is still giggling. "Dan stop laughing!" I lightly slap him on the chest. He grabs my hand and kisses it causing me to blush. "Phil, you have nothing to worry about. My eyes are all on you now!" he smiles before moving a hand to my face and caressing my cheek. He then leans in and kiss me. When we pull away I smile and lean my head on his shoulder. "Okay fine. I don't really want to help you weed through all those people it seems boring." I giggled and I turn my attention back to my tv. I head Dan laugh.

---------------------- Time Skip ( 6 days later) ------------------------------

It's currently thursday and I am getting ready to leave work early. Mr. Poux is allowing me to go home two hours before normal because I finished editing Ollies newest chapter already. I look at my watch an notice that is is 2:30 and I decide that maybe I will stop by Dans office and pay him a visit. I quickly head out of interstellar and try and hail a cab. Which I was unsuccessful for the first two time but luckily for me the 3rd time's a charm. I give them the addresses and I am off. I look at my phone during the drive debating on whether or not texting Dan to tell him I'm on may way to his office but then I remember him saying that he was in a meeting till about 3 pm so I decide not to. When we finally pull in front of Howell Industries I pay the cabbie and head to one of the reception desks. "Hello, How can I help you?" a lady named June asks. "Hi, I'm here to see Daniel Howell?" I smile and the lady looks at me weird. "Do you have an appointment?" She asks with a snotty voice. "Well no. But you can call and tell him Phil Lester is here to see him." I suggest. Her face immediately changes "Do you have proof of ID?" she asks a little gently. I shake my head yes and giver her my ID. "I'm Sorry for the trouble Mr. Lester. Here is your guest badge. It works when every you visit." June smiles and gestures to the elevator. I guess Dan put me on some list.
