-- At Levi's Mansion--

Levi hums in delight as his morning tea trickled down his tongue, greeting him in the fine morning.

Seconds after that, his house butler approaches the table.

"Your secretary is here."

Those four words are enough to snap him out of the bliss he's having at the moment, Levi lowered his teacup, still holding it by the rim, "What ? But why, when she's having her day off ?" he muttered to himself before getting up from the seat and heading to the living room where (Y/n) would usually wait.

"Ah, I bet she felt bad about what she said." Levi plainly assumed, continuing his small trip to the living room.

He then made an abrupt stop as soon as he arrived at the destination.

His eyebrows twitch upon the sight before his very own eyes.

"Mr. Braun.. What brings you here so early ?"

The muscular blonde blinked.

"Didn't you always wait for me outside ?" Levi pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration.

Reiner nods, "Ah, yes sir," his deep voice booming in respect, "but Ms. (L/n) said she can't come in today, soo.. So she asked me to.."

"Tie your usual necktie, sir."

Levi holds back the urge to bulge out his eyes, "what ?"

"She said there's no one to do that in her absence. So.." Reiner pulls out a polka dot necktie from his pocket, "let me tie it for you." he takes a massive step towards Levi, only for the short man to back off immediately.

Reiner only blinked innocently, not understanding why his boss refused to get his necktie tied for him, "I-I can tie it very well, sir. My hands are also clean-"

"Stop right there," Levi halts Reiner's attempts to come closer to him, "don't come closer." The idea of his own driver tying his necktie somehow makes him shudder in disgust.

"Sir, let me-"

"Don't fucking touch me with your gay hands, Braun."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Good morning."

Armin is the first one to avert his eyes from the computer, sensing something different from the person that just greeted them, "uh.. May I ask who.." He stands from his chair to greet the person.

The others copied Armin's gesture as they started to gather to meet the guest.

"You're Mr. Ackerman's guest from last time, aren't you ?" Jean pointed out, eyeing the tall blonde man with glasses.

Zeke.

"Yeah, I visited him before."

While everyone is busy throwing him unnecessary questions, Mikasa's eyes trailed down to the folder in his right hand.

[Zeke Jaeger, author Book Concert Proposal]

"I'm assuming you're the author for our upcoming book concert, Mr. Jaeger ?"

He nods, "yeah."

Several gasps emitted from their mouths, "oh my goodness ! He's The Boy Wonder !!"

"Is this real ???"

"Oh my gosh, someone please punch me, I'd like to see if this is a dream..."

"Eren, what's your half brother doing here ?"

They finally quiet down a little.

Connie steps forward, "hello," he bows, "I'm a big fan of your novels-" but before he manages to finish the whole sentence, a certain brunette shoves him to the floor and stands on the spot where Connie previously was.

"It's such an honor to see you for real ! I'm your fan too by the way ! I'll give you my share of meat !" Sasha screeched.

"The fuck is going on here ?"

All the workers, along with Zeke, turn their heads to see the one and only vice president Ackerman standing near the door with his arms crossed. A look of disapproval is visible on his stoic face.

The two businessmen exchange glares for a few seconds.

"My office. Now."

Levi then storms off to his private office, beckoning the blonde man to follow him.

Heaving a heavy sigh, Zeke bows a little to the employees, "well then, please excuse me. It's nice to meet all of you." he catches up to the short man. Entering Levi's office before closing the door.

Sasha speaks up, "now I see why he's refused to make media appearances. In case all the attention goes to his face, and not his writing ! The moment he stepped into this planning division room, ha.. He should've given me a warning for heart attack !"

"He was so dazzling ! He had that aura of a bestselling novelist." Armin chimed in.

"Oh, but his novels aren't to my taste," Jean shrugs, "aren't his readers all women ? It's all about romance after all."

Sasha sends Jean a glare that says 'I don't believe you'. She flails her arms around, "he is a bestselling author, because everyone loves him ! What the heck are you talking about huh ?"

"I couldn't agree more with Sasha right here. You just gotta open the first page, and in no time, BOOM, the end !"

Mikasa then decides to break the never ending topic about the 'author', "by the way, The Boy Wonder.. He visited last time, and came today too. Is he an acquaintance of that pipsqueak ?"

"Yeah, I think so too. Didn't you feel that tension between them ?" Armin asked.

"Now that you mention it, yes."

A certain brown haired man with anger issues scratches his head, "so how do they know each other ?"

"I know a shocking secret between those two.."

Everyone looks at Jean as if he just grew a horse mane on his head, "what do you mean, horseface ?" Eren asked.

"They're actually.... old friends !"

It takes a moment for them to believe the words from Jean's mouth.

"Um.. Is this another level of bullshit or.."

"Are you freaking serious ??"

Jean nearly pulls out his hair, "The Boy Wonder is the CEO of Beast Enterprise ! Some people said that many many years ago the Ackerman Company was once bankrupt, and then The Boy Wonder transferred a big load of funds to help them. Rumors have it."

"Oh wow.. Such a generous man.."

The woman wearing a red scarf frowns, "don't think like that too quickly.."

"...I don't trust Zeke Jaeger. Or should I say.. The Boy Wonder.."

--------- Inside Levi's private office ---------

His steel blue eyes pierced through Zeke's soul as he waited for him to give an explanation.

"I'm just dropping by after a meeting with the planning division. Their proposal wasn't all that bad. Plus, they were really friendly. I like them, except the black haired woman with red scarf."

Levi raises his chin, "you don't have to go over every detail with me. It's just one of the projects at my company."

"Must you really put it that way ?"

"Well, it's the truth." Levi stated coldly.

"Hmm.. I'm sure it's nothing for a big shot you are. But it didn't seem like that was the case with my parents and yours," Zeke pauses, "they're extremely delighted to see us working together. That's why I'm here. They're ecstatic, your mom.. my parents.. they think we made up. So let's avoid unnecessary trouble, that is, if we can."

Hearing how Zeke makes things sound like everything's Levi's fault, the stoic man refuses to back off, "shouldn't you say that to yourself ?"

"What ?"

"Because I'm not the one who caused trouble."

Gulping down his pride, Zeke then without a word leaves Levi's office. His eyes darted to the receptionist table right across Levi's door, greeting him straight as soon as he exits the office.

Hold on..

The secretary is.. different..

"Um, excuse me. Is Ms. (Y/n) (L/n) out somewhere ?"

Historia stands to greet him, "oh, she's on leave today. I'm just a trainee under Ms. (L/n)'s training."

"I see."

"By the way.." the blue eyed secretary tucks a strand of her blonde hair behind her ears shyly, "I'm your big fan. And I'm even in your fan club. My fan ID is 'The Boy Wonder for Historia'. I wrote so many posts on your fan club page."

Zeke chuckles, "thank you for your support."

"Anyways, may I have your autograph ?"

Historia approaches the famous author and stretches out her book for him to sign with a gleeful smile on her face.

"ME TOO !!"

"Oi ! Don't leave me just like that !"

Two workers run into Zeke's direction, offering him pens and books, "I'm Sasha Braus ! Please sign this !"

"I'm Connie Springer !"

Seconds later, Armin popped up to get an autograph too since he loves The Boy Wonder's works. And... That's how small crowds begin to form in front of Levi's private office. The man dislikes unnecessary commotion so much.

Then.. An idea crosses his mind.

Levi calls Historia to his office, requesting her assistance.

"Yes ? Do you need anything, Mr. Ackerman ?"

He swiftly nods, "cancel all my appointments today. Something urgent has come up."

"Ah, yes sir. Right away."

The vice president smirks as Historia exits his office. He couldn't be more proud of his own plan for today..

---------------------------------------

"Ha.... No replies, and I have no plans."

The woman groans in boredom as she walks down the street near her apartment, 'Come to think of it, isn't it all Mr. Ackerman's fault that there's no one I can call out or even make plans for myself ?' She scowled.

'It's because I've been sacrificing my life for him'

(Y/n) stomps her foot to the ground in frustration, "Ugh.. that damn vice president Ackerman-"

"Did you call for me ?"

She jumps at the sudden voice as she realizes that her boss is only a meter in front of her, leaning on his parked car across her apartment. (Y/n) was just caught red handed talking shit about her boss, "OH MY SWEET FRECKLED JESUS !! Uh.. Um.. W-what are you doing here sir ??" (Y/n) tries to calm herself, "I mean, how.. Why are you here ?"

Levi calmly takes bold steps towards his secretary, "I thought you might be thinking about me right now, so I paraded over here. Me, the vice president."

"Why don't we spend the day together today, Ms. (L/n) ?"

(Y/n) sucked in her breath, "pardon ?"

"I asked for a day off too," he explains, "so I can spend time with you."

She laughs dryly, "Ha ! No need to spend time with me, I'm busy." Well, it's obviously a big fat lie.

"It looks like all you're up to is strolling around the neighborhood. How is that busy hmm ?" Levi pointed out.

"Well.. I'm busy, ....strolling around the neighborhood."

He cocked an eyebrow, "what ?"

"Anyways," (Y/n) crosses her arms, "how did you know I was home ?"

"I just know. I always know what my girl needs. You were secretly hoping I'd come over, weren't you ?"

'Cocky bastard..'

"Ah rightt.." She smiles sassily, "as expected from Mr. Ackerman, who excels in all fields. Sadly, I guess that includes deluding yourself."

Levi only stares at her, "just leave it to me, the man who excels in all fields. I'll make sure to entertain you for the day. Give me a chance to make it up to you. Just for you.. Ms. (L/n)."

"I even drew up this itinerary," he pulled a piece of folded paper from his blazer pocket, "alright. Dinner at a premium lounge restaurant with the company of a chamber orchestra. Followed by a cruise on a private yacht. Then we'll take the helicopter and make our way to the airport, where we'll head off for Marley on my private jet. After having Marley cuisine for a late-night snack, we'll return-"

"Hold on."

The vice president stops his rambling, looking quite confused yet pissed.

"I'm not up for any of that, ever." (Y/n) stated.

Levi places the paper back into his pocket, "why not ?"

"Because this is my holiday, sir. I'm going to spend it the way I want to. I'm never.." she looks him in the eye, "going to follow your ridiculous money wasting schedule."

Feisty...

"Then allow me to follow yours for today." He replies.

"Oh, you won't be able to, sir."

"I can."

"You can't."

"I said I can, and I will, brat."

(Y/n) then sighs in defeat, before forming a smirk on her face, "I see.. If you want it that way, fine."

"I hope you're in for a ride of hell, Mr. Ackerman. You're going to experience how an ordinary employee spends her time."
