《Round Two》Chapter 23 - Anything For Work Points
Advertisement
Leo sat back at his desk. His face was sweating and he felt oddly nervous. Leo quickly chugs down the rest of his coffee. Damn, that's going to make it worse. He thinks with some regret. Lets takes a deep breath and exhales some bad chi. I'm going to have to do it aren't I? I'm going to have to play matchmaker. Or should I just ignore it… I'll just ignore it… He thinks, deciding to do nothing.
Suddenly, Leo's phone rings. Leo takes another breath to get himself straight, then answers the call.
“Hello? Service Desk, Leo speaking.” He says with his customer service voice.
“Hey, Leo. It’s John, from earlier.” A voice says.
Leo raises an eyebrow. The CFO? He thinks, slightly surprised.
“What’s up?” Leo responds.
“Ah, there’s an issue with my phone. I was hoping you could take a look. For some reason my emails aren’t coming in.” John says.
“Ugh, okay. Should I come down?” Leo says.
“Actually, I have a meeting in a bit. I’ll drop my phone off, and I’ll pick it up after.” John decides.
“Yeah, okay. See you in a bit.” Leo says.
“Yep. See you soon.” John replies before ending the call.
Soon after, John came by to drop off the phone.
“The pin is 4559. And, ugh, we’re both guys so it’s okay, but there’s some sensitive stuff in there; some ‘for my wife’s eyes only’ sort of stuff.’ So, ugh, just try not to dig through any of it. And if you do decide to look, for the record, it’s bigger in person.” John says casually.
Leo immediately lets out a laugh. Damn. John is a bro. I’m starting to like this guy. He thinks, receiving a good impression. “I can send you a few of mine if it makes you feel better.” Leo responds, continuing to speak casually.

John lets out a chuckle. “That won’t be necessary. Alright, I’ll be back in about a half hour.” He says before turning and leaving.
Leo lets out a sigh. With the man’s phone and the sort of ammo he had just been provided, Leo knew he was about to do something dastardly. All for the sake of work points! Leo thinks, encouraging himself.
It didn’t take long for Leo to figure out the issue. John had been using a vpn, something from outside the company. As for what he was using it for, Leo didn't care, but using it was enough for his device to be put into the company’s quarantine. Leo promptly releases the device and John’s emails started coming in. With that done, Leo went forward with his actual business. Damn, John. You spend all that time fantasizing about the secretary and you don’t even have her number? You have to up your game, my dude. He thinks before picking up his headset and dialing the front desk.
“Technology Solutions. How can I help you today?” A voice says over the phone.
“Hey, Lizzy?” Leo asks to confirm.
“Yep, what can I do for you?” Lizzy responds.
“Hi, ugh, yeah, I was hoping to get your number for our employee database?” Leo says with some hesitation. Too forward? He asks himself.
“Like my cell number? Are you asking me out?” Lizzy says, suspiciously.
Leo lets out an awkward chuckle. “Ugh, no, I have a girlfriend. Ugh, HR asked me to do it?” He says, shooting his shot.
“Ah, okay. But if this is a ploy to get my number, you better have a five-course meal ready, because I won’t settle for less. Hmph!” Lizzy says, making her stance before giving her number.

Leo smiles. “Thank you, Lizzy! Have a good day!” He says, satisfied.
Leo quickly adds the contact to John’s phone. And… What should I say? How ‘bout, ‘thinking of you, John.’ That’s good enough. Now to add the dick pic… Okay, we’re good. Send. Leo thinks, mentally patting himself on the back for a job well done. It was very possible that Leo could get fired for this, and he could very well destroy a marriage, but Leo shrugged it off. Anything for work points! Work points are life! He thinks with determination.
