"congratulations y/n, you've been promoted to assistant of the ceo!" hannah announces to our office. my mouth opens in shock and i cover it with both my hands.

"oh my god, are you serious?!" i shout. "holy shit!"

my coworkers clap for me and come up to me with hugs and handshakes. this is the biggest event ever! i can't believe i get to work under the ceo!

"you'll start next week on tuesday, meanwhile your party will be monday," she says. "i'm so happy that your hard work has paid off."

"thank you so much" i hug my boss and we resume work. i can't believe i went from a small corner desk to my very own office! i contain my excitement and go back to work. finally, i can see my old coworkers again.

-

"guys! finally i caught up to you!" i say. i see the small group walking out of our building.

"we heard the good news" armin says.

"can't wait for you to be on the same floor as us" mikasa says with a small smile.

"yeah especially as assistant of the ceo!" eren says. "you really worked hard to get to the top, let's celebrate."

"you sure you can leave your car here?" mikasa asks.

"yeah it's fine, i can take the bus tomorrow."

-

the group takes me out and we decide to go to a bar downtown.

"so what's the ceo like?" i ask.

"you've never met him?" armin asks. "how did you get that position?"

"my boss told me there was an opening and so she sort of did the process for me," i shrug my shoulders. "hannah said she'll talk to him and show him my profile and data."

"your boss sounds so nice and levi is such dick," eren spats. mikasa elbows him and he whines. "what the hell was that for?"

"you're going to make y/n hate him," she says. "and she hasn't even started."

"wait no tell me about him," i plead at them. "i'll be working for him so i have to be prepared."

they all look at each other, unsure and nervous.

"okay... it's like stepping on eggshells when we talk to him or are even near him," armin confesses, head down. "he's ice cold and harsh when there's a mistake."

"yeah and i make a bunch of them so he's always yelling at me," eren says, groaning. "calling me a bunch of names but mikasa has never made a mistake and he still is mean to her."

"he's very intimidating and puts a lot of work on us" mikasa says, stirring her straw around. ah i did not expect that. i stare at them in shock. i really should've done more research but i've been so hung up on work that i didn't get to even look him up.

"um okay" i say. i handle a lot of work but i'm not so good with cold people.

"but he's still a good boss," armin says. he probably saw my concerned face. "he gives us time off when we finished a huge amount of work and holiday parties."

i nod and laugh at the attempt to lighten the mood.

"thanks," i say. "w-well let us celebrate."

i can adapt to this and be a good assistant. as an accountant, i didn't really deal with people besides my department and coworkers but hearing stories from customer service sounded bad. he sounds like a bad client except i'll be working for him.

we order drinks and say cheers.

-

i put the small glass down and look down. whoa i feel so dizzy.

"you ready for another round?" eren asks. i look up and see the liquid running down his chin and chest.

"you... can't even drink right" i laugh. i try to stop but i can't!

"look at armin" eren says. "he's only had two and he's so red!"

i turn to see the man's cheeks so red. me and eren laugh at armin making a face at the taste.

"hey! hey!" i wave at the bartender to get his attention. "can we get shots over here?!"

he gives me a thumbs up and goes.

"i need to pee," eren says. he stands up but when I blink, i see him gone. "ah what the fuck?!"

mikasa and armin stare at the ground and i process that he just fell on his ass. i burst into laughter so hard that i start silently wheezing.

"we're going to get kicked out" i hear mikasa say with a sigh.
