"Seriously ? A bulldozer ?"

The look on the brunette's best friend is enough to tell her that he's telling the truth about being called a bulldozer.

She wiggles her eyebrows, "what did you do to hear that, you pervert Mr. CEO ?" Hanji's shoulders slump down in fear as soon as Levi sends a dirty glance in her direction, "I-I mean... Levi, sir." She quickly regains her composure, "anyways, as your mentor in love-"

"If this is something cheap like that shitty underpants advice, then I don't need to hear your bullshit again."

"Hey, though my expression was cheap, the contents were high quality ! So listen up, shorty. What you need to remember in your relationship with Ms. (L/n) is that you're her first boyfriend."

Levi crosses his arms in defense, "well, it's not like she's my second girlfriend. She's my first girlfriend too, shitty glasses. I just can't help it and I want to do everything for her. I want to go all the length to see her smiling for me and making her feel like a queen. Isn't that normal ?"

"But that doesn't mean you can be so pushy. Just pushing your way through doesn't mean doesn't mean progress. So take it slowly as much as you need to, like a gentleman." Hanji advised.

"Take it slowly, as much as I need to ?" he scoffed, "how suffocating. How can I, when I can't hold back already ?"

"Well, if you can't then she'll get tired of you, Levi."

Levi froze. His heart felt like it just dropped to his stomach upon hearing Hanji's reply, "tired of me ? How can she get tired of my perfect cleaning skills with new charms to discover, every day ? That is a phrase that isn't in my dictionary, mark my words."

"But think about this, shorty. She only just started walking so you can't just start running like a dog in heat, can you ? She'll try to catch up to you at first, but she's bound to get tired and give up. You know, being in a relationship is all about speed control. If you fail to control your speed, then.." Hanji looks him in the eye through her glasses.

"Be prepared to see Ms. (L/n) with another man."

-- Later --

The sound of shoes clicking and clunking against the floor snaps Levi out of his trance, soon, the figure stopped in front of his desk.

"Did you call for me, Mr. Ackerman ?"

Levi looked up to her from his desk, "I'm sorry I couldn't control my speed."

"Sorry ?"

"Now that I think back, I guess I was rushing things. It seems like all that I held back for the past 10 years finally exploded all at once. Though that was a horrifying experience, if I were to go back to then, only to go through the same thing.. Still, I would gladly do that again, as long as I can meet you in this life." He conveyed.

His words leave (Y/n) gaping like an idiot.

"So now I'll take it slow, because that's what you want," Levi glances at her before turning on his heels "I have an appointment, so.. see you later brat."

The man disappears behind the large wooden doors of his private office, leaving his secretary all alone with tons of questions in her head. (Y/n) has no idea what just got into the vice president, but it surely doesn't fail to make her heart flutter. To apologize about such simple thing in a relationship is not an easy thing to do. And (Y/n) admired him for that.

Thus, she intends to pay him back.

-------- 10.21 PM --------

Sighing, Levi strolls over to the entrance of his house after Reiner drops him off from work. His dull steel blue eyes trail to the view before him, realizing how boring and empty his life is despite all the money he has on his hands. Levi always thought that he would never be able to find real happiness. At this rate, he might as well turn into a money making machine, nothing else.

But, that's when Levi spotted a certain someone.

A loyal secretary of his, standing near his front door all alone, clutching her bag in her hands.

"What are you doing here at this hour ?"

(Y/n) jumped up a little when Levi quietly approached her with his hands in his pockets. She only purses her lips, "I wanted to apologize, for not considering your feelings. And.."

"Hm ?"

"And.. I'm not going home tonight." The woman breathed out and she stared up at him.

Levi blinks once, then twice, since he couldn't believe what he just heard "what do you mean ?"

"I-I'm not going home, but I'm staying here with you, all night."

(Y/n) trembles under his sharp gaze, something radiated from him as he stares down at her, "if you come in, I won't be able to hold myself back tonight, Ms. (L/n). Tonight.. I'm not going to stop showing my love for you."

At first, Levi thought that by saying this, (Y/n) would back off and go home.

But it's actually the opposite..

The woman boldly enters his mansion. After taking a few steps further inside, (Y/n) looks over her shoulder with a rather bashful look. This, of course, wakes up something inside the vice president himself.

Levi wastes no time to rush inside his house with long, sturdy steps and ragged breath. He slams the front door shut before pouncing at (Y/n). His lean muscular body pushes (Y/n) to the wall and he proceeds to press her against the hard surface. Levi hungrily dived down to have a taste of her lips, which (Y/n) accepted. His cold, calloused hands, wouldn't stop roaming around her body, trying to make sure that his hands mapped every inch of her perfect flesh and curve.

The secretary herself is busy unbuttoning his pristine white dress shirt while their lips still collide. Her smooth and slender fingers then slid the black blazer off his shoulders in one tug. Their mouths refuse to part since they're eager to treasure this rare heated moment. A deep groan escapes Levi's mouth, sending vibration through the kiss when (Y/n) tangled her hands into his raven locks. He then guides her hands to cup his pale cheeks that are now covered in blush. Her touch makes his heart thump faster, let alone her moans that slip from her mouth.

One by one, their articles of clothing fell to the floor, leaving nothing but their bodies and feelings for each other.

This time, there's no barrier between them. There's no doubt about showing their love to each other. The couple have grown to accept what they revealed to each other.

And most importantly, no call from Erwin Smith.
