《Just Business?》A Cute Couple
Advertisement
I got up around noon the next morning and called Trinity. I couldn't stop thinking about last night. Why would he like me? He doesn't even know me! She picked up on the second ring.
"Tri, what's up?"
"Nothing much. How was last night?"
"That's why I'm calling. I need advice."
"That doesn't sound good."
"Mr. Wright asked me out. He kissed me again and told me about when he was little and Mr. Smith and charities and children and I just don't know."
"Calm down. Do you like him?"
"He's a very nice guy."
"Do you like him?"
"I don't know him. He doesn't know me. That's why I'm confused. How can he like me when he doesn't know me?"
"I don't know. I think you should get to know him. I mean look at that man. I'd bring him his coffee any day if you know what I mean!"
"Oh god. I told him as long as we work together, nothing can happen."
"Well write your letter of resignation and get some!"
"Trinity!"
"I'm joking. It's good that you took a stand. If only Bill would take the hint."
"Is he still bothering you? I could get Mr. Wright to talk to him about that."
"He won't listen. He doesn't leave me alone."
"I could always smack him around a little!"
"Please! He might like that sort of thing though."
"Ew. On that note, I'll let you go. I'm sure you have plans with Nikko."
"Okay. Talk to you later!"
When I went to sleep that night, I let Trinity's advice sink in. Maybe she was right. Maybe I should get to know him better. I feel asleep excited to see Mr. Wright tomorrow.

I got up and got dressed. When I got to the office, I made Mr. Wright's coffee and saw that Mr. Wright and I were in the the news. Our pictures were all over. I didn't look so bad. All the girls were glaring at me, and all of the guys were checking me out. It was another day as usual. I really didn't mind all the looks. I was excited to see Mr. Wright though. Maybe Trinity was right. Maybe I should give him a chance. I walked into his office, and closed the door. I handed him his coffee and sat down next to him.
"Olivia, what's up?"
"Well I know this isn't the right time, but I really wanted to talk to you about the other night."
"You can always talk to me if it improves our working environment. What is it?"
"Well I just wanted to know why you like me? It seems really sudden and I don't get it. You don't know me."
"I don't. I just have taken notice to your habits and I never really liked a girl I've worked with. Plus I drank quite a bit of champagne that night. I must have gotten carried away that night. I'm so sorry if I led you on."
"Oh umm..."
"Is that all?"
"Yes. Thank you, sir. I'm gonna get back to work now. Sorry to bother you."
I walked out of his office and I felt like I just got punched in the stomach. I didn't realize how much I liked him, until he told me that he doesn't feel the same way. I sad down at my desk, and all the girls glared. I scheduled appointments and just moped. Eventually it was the end of the day. Thanks god.

Olivia came in with my coffee and looked just as amazing as ever. I realized I made her uncomfortable and she made it clear the other night that nothing is going to happen between us. So when she came in asking about it, I had to lie. It was not the most fun thing in the world but it had to be done. It was clear she didn't believe in love at first sight. That's what I believe happened, but she just thinks I'm overly aggressive. She walked out, sat at her desk, and continued to work. She seemed sad about something, but I can't act like I care. I have I act like any old regular boss. This is going to kill me.
I was at my desk in the lobby and who else but Bill comes over to talk to me.
"Trinity! You look amazing today!"
"What do you want, Bill?"
"Is that any way to talk to a dear old friend?"
"No. Lucky for me, you aren't my friend."
"Oh come on. Be nice."
"What do you want?"
"Okay. Truthfully, I want your help."
"With what?"
"Well rumor has it, you and Olivia are best friends."
"Yeah. And?"
"Well I would really appreciate if you would work that best friend magic and get me a date with her?"
"Wait a minute, you like Olivia?"
"Yeah. What guy wouldn't? Have you seen her?"
"Yeah yeah she's hot I know. Well we kinda thought you always bothered me because you liked me."
"No offense, but no. You got a boyfriend and I don't play like that. So what do you say?"
"Well I mean her current situation is complicated, but I could put in a good word on one condition."
"What?"
"Leave me alone!"
"No problem, babe."
"Good. I'll talk to get when she comes down, which should be any minute, so you should probably leave."
"Thank you so much!"
Bill leaned in to give me a hug. Bill isn't a bad guy I guess, so maybe him and Liv would be a cute couple. I hear a door open, but my back is facing the door. I hear someone clear their throat. I look up and see Nikko.
"Hey babe. Who's this?"
"Oh that's just Bill."
"Just Bill, I think I deserve a better introduction than that, babe. You must be the boyfriend."
"Yeah. I'm get boyfriend. So you ready to go, babe?"
"Um not yet. I have something I need to do for Bill first."
"And what is that?"
"Kind of a secret."
"Well I'll be in the car then."
"Nice meeting you!"
"Yeah same."
Nikko walked out, and Bill laughed. I was confused.
"He seems real nice. What's his problem?"
"I don't know. Maybe he had a bad day at work."
"I guess. I'm gonna go so you could talk to Olivia. Owe you one again."
"Yeah yeah. See you later."
