Chapter Text
“Shh, do you want us to get caught?”
My eyes narrow but I keep my eyes glued to the road in front of me. In the review mirror, I see y/n leaning against my car seat while the CEO smirks, bending down to hide his smirk in the blond waves of y/n’s hair.
I cringe as y/n lets out a small gasp and the CEO a low husky laugh. Off the bridge lies a lake and I picture myself crashing us into the rail and flinging us into the lake. At least then, the rush of water would drown out the squelches and moans from the backseat.
My eyes move back to the road and the sound of mac and cheese makes me think back to what first got me into this situation.

It was 8am on a Tuesday in the middle of May. I had just walked into the office when I saw her-y/n.
She was gorgeous. I'll give her that. Long blond waves that fell to her waist and blue eyes that sparkled when she smiled. Her rosy cheeks contrasted starkly with her porcelain skin.
“Hey wait” she had called after me as I got into the elevator, huffing as she jammed her arm between the doors. The doors pushed open and she straightened herself as she got on to the elevator with me, “owie i got a booboo on my arm!!”
“Are you okay?” I asked, mostly out of politeness.
She completely ignored the question, “My names y/n, today’s my first day. Please be good to me!”
“Sorry, did you say y/n?”
“Yes.”
We both paused and I wanted nothing more than to get off the elevator and take the stairs. “How is it spelled?”
“Y-slash-N. My father is a big fan of Elon.”
“Ah okay, nice to meet you y/n, what floor are u getting off at?” I reach for the key pad.
“Oh don’t worry about it, same one as you actually!” She points to where I had already selected floor 20. “I’m glad I could meet a new side chara- I mean friend!”
I stare blankly, “Sorry?”
“Hmm..?” She stares back.
The elevator rings and the doors fly open. Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, THANK YOU JESUS! I had never walked so quickly to my desk, I was determined to get as far away from that girl as possible.

The clock hit twelve and I launched from my seat towards the stairs. I wasn’t risking another meeting with the strange girl who lacked any elevator etiquette.
All of a sudden, I heard the familiar high pitch voice. “Hello again, are you heading to lunch? I’ll join you.”
Pretending not to hear, I keep making my way down the stairs.
Her footsteps quicken and then she’s right beside me. “I was so flustered this morning I don't think I ever caught your name.”
“Oh, I’m-“
“Today was just so hectic, you know? The first day and all. And everyone was sooo mean, like I know I was supposed to get here at 7 but I was only a few minutes late!”
I was about to remind her that she got here at 8 but thought better of it.
She kept going, “Also, I’m the new front desk clerk for the floor. I highly doubt anyone was calling about business or whatever this early in the morning.” She waved her hand around dismissively.
We were down only ten floors and my feet were regretting it.
“When I was finally able to settle in, this nasty woman came up to me and started talking about how it was already 10 and I needed to get logged in.”
We reached the ground floor and I caught sight of Justin leaning against the wall tapping his foot. He looks up, “Damn! Why are you so out of breath? Don’t tell me those stairs took your fatass out?”
“Oh my gosh!! How could you say something so horrible?” Y/n pouted.
Justin's head turned in slow motion and he raised an eyebrow in confusion, “huh?”
Y/n placed a hand on my shoulder, “You’re not fat, you have fat.”
It was my turn to raise my eyebrow, “What?”
Justin snorted, “Well.. it was..uh.. nice talking to you!”
“I’ll see you around.” I chimed in and before we could hear her response we made our way towards the dining hall.
“Oh…okay see you around I guess”
—
“Make a new friend?” Justin asks as we head towards the dining hall.
“Something like that.”
“Might want to lay off the meat today. You heard your friend! You got some fat on you.”
I rolled my eyes, “I’m reporting you to HR.”
“I am HR.”
“Whatever.”
We sat down at one of the tables and I took a bite of my protein bar while I watched Justin unpack his Michelin star lunch his husband had made him the night before.
He caught me looking, “jealous?”
“It’s whatever.”
We sat in a blissful silence as both of us got lost in our respective thoughts. Justin looked up, “What’s the name of your new…freind.
I smirk played across my face, “Y/n.”
“Why what?”
“Ugn no, Y/n, as in y-slash-n.”
“Is it germanic?”
“Nah her dad was just a big fan of Elon Musk, he was his muse I suppose.”
“Same thing, both are Nazi’s”
“Uh.. were. Germany knows her place.”
Right as Justin was about to say something snarky back, the room goes silent. We turned around, standing in the doorway of the dining hall was no other than our CEO, Bradley Omega.
