The morning started by Jean rushing into the planning division room breathlessly, knocking some things over.

"Ugh, what is it this time ? I can't believe there's a loose horse in the office." Eren groaned out.

Jean panted, still trying to catch his breath and picking up some fallen objects on the floor, "I have a top secret stuff that really shouldn't go around ! Gather around if you think you can handle this !"

"The only thing that shouldn't go around is you, Jean. Someone please get him a leash and a saddle.. We can't have you running around telling bullshit almost everyday." Mikasa rolls her eyes in annoyance.

"Yeah ! Jean always does this. But nine out of ten, the things he said are just empty rumors !"

"I swear it's not just a rumor this time ! There's even a witness, that means there's a ground !" He neighed, "the thing is... we have a most unimaginable couple in our very own team !"

Everybody gasped in shock.

Jean proceeds, "as for who it is.. IT'S MR. ACKERMAN AND MS. (L/N) !"

It only takes a few seconds for Armin to faint after hearing that. Connie looks at Jean in horror, "is this for real ?"

"Yes !"

"No way !"

"Who's the witness ??" Sasha piped in.

"Well, there's a new employee in business management. A few days ago, she said she saw with her own eyes, Mr. Ackerman and Ms. (L/n) on a date, holding hands tightly !"

Historia found herself covered in cold sweat. Even though she isn't the one who spread the words about the relationship between Mr. Ackerman and Ms. (L/n), the blonde's scared that Ms. (L/n) would think that she's the one who started the rumors.

"Good morning !"

Everyone tensed up upon hearing (Y/n)'s greeting as the woman passed the planning division room with a warm smile. They quickly force their faces to relax and greet the secretary back. Eren has to hide Armin's unconscious body under his table so (Y/n) wouldn't get suspicious of what just happened. (Y/n) looks around, seeing how all of her friends send her stiff smiles, "uh.. did something good happen ? You guys look different."

"Horseface is planning to go on a blind date this week, that's why we look happy because someone finally wants to date a horse !" Eren quickly came up with a lie. To his luck, (Y/n) buys his words.

She laughed, "well then, I hope your blind date goes smoothly, Jean. I'm off now." With that, she skipped to her boyfriend's private office. (Y/n)'s fellow friends send her off with a smile on their faces.

The secretary goes to her usual receptionist desk to retrieve some papers before entering the vice president's office. The man himself is sitting on the sofa comfortably with a tablet in his hand.

"Here are the reports for the opening event of the new department store on Sina." (Y/n) bowed as she handed those papers to him.

Levi hummed, "that's on the fifth, is it ?"

"Yes. Would you like to go down for a final check ? Though I don't think it'll be necessary since Mr. Smith will be going down next week."

"I'll just do as you say, brat."

"Yes sir."

She thought Levi would continue scrolling his tablet, but turns out, he puts down the device beside him and stares at his girlfriend for a long period of time.

(Y/n) blinked, "what's with that look ?"

"Well, when I think about it, I won't be seeing you anymore at work soon, every moment.. becomes that much dearer." The raven haired man conveyed.

"Oh.." She too, also realized that. The days she gets to spend with Levi in the office will soon come to a cease, "I think I have something to do after this, so.. I'll be going then."

But just as (Y/n) takes two steps away from him, Levi leaps from the sofa and cage her in his arms. She froze in her place as the vice president hugs her from behind, with her waist being locked with his arms gently. Levi dives his head into the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent that he'll surely miss so much when (Y/n) quits in the future. He then plants butterfly kisses on her neck, making (Y/n) squirm in his grip, yet she's enjoying it.

But sadly, God has decided that it's time for the couple to.. stop hiding.

(Y/n)'s eyes trailed to the indoor office that connected Levi's private office from the receptionist desk and halls. And that's when her (e/c) eyes widened.

Three people from the planning division are witnessing them. Historia, Jean, and Mikasa are staring at the couple through the office's window with their mouths hanging open.

With quick movements, (Y/n) unattached Levi's arms from her and shoved him to the back while snatching the nearest remote control and shut the window blinds automatically with it. With her hands still shaking, (Y/n) puts down the remote and turn to her boyfriend, "what do we do now ?" She panicked.

"Well, this is what people mean by there's no turning back."

Levi holds her chin softly and makes her face him, "we're busted, Ms. (L/n). If we can't avoid it, there's only one way. And that is.. to take it head on."

"Wha- What are you thinking ?? You- Mr. Ackerman, please don't !"

Levi ignores her pleas as he marches to the door and kicks it open, only to find three employees standing there like statues, "come in, the three of you. We need to talk." Like dogs with its tail between its hind legs, Jean and Historia followed Levi, entering his private office. Mikasa, on the other hand, looks rather calm and composed, but a part of her is still surprised.

The vice president tells them to stand in line horizontally with him standing in front of them.

"That romantic scene you just saw now. Yes, your assumptions are true," Levi crosses his arms, "though this might be an unexpected surprise, Ms. (L/n) and I.. are indeed in a relationship."

Silence filled the room before Jean suddenly gave a loud yet awkward applause, "c-congratulations, sir !"

"Y-yeah ! I really didn't know you two are a thing ! Please be a happy couple !" Historia added, trying to cover the fact that she already knew. The only one who hasn't said anything since then is Mikasa. She only stands there with an unreadable face.

"So, is there a problem with this ? Me and Ms. (L/n) being a couple ? If there is, you brats better spit it out now."

Jean and Historia quickly flail their arms in the air, "NO of course not sir ! We're more than happy to see-"

"I have a problem."

Everybody inside the room turned their heads in one swift motion when Mikasa said that as she raised her hand in the air, opposing Historia and Jean. Levi's eyes glinted with danger as he looked at Mikasa, "oh ? And what is that ?"

"I don't trust a pipsqueak like you to be with (Y/n). You treat your employees like shit, let alone your girlfriend who I assume has suffered more than us. If I ever caught you hurting (Y/n) in any possible way, the door to death is always open for I'll drag you there myself." Mikasa growled.

The two Ackermans hold an intense staring contest before Levi finally speaks, "say what you want. I may treat all of you like shit, but for Ms. (L/n)'s sake, I'm willing to change."

"Hmm."

Mikasa adjusts her scarf before giving him a curt nod, "fine then. I trust her in your hands."

With a relieved sigh, Levi jerks his head to the door, "you all may leave now." The three bowed at their boss before walking out of the room. But then (Y/n) decides to run after them, thus leaving Levi all alone in his office. The raven haired man returns to his previous spot to proceed with his work, while (Y/n) is busy dealing with... something.

"I'm so embarrassed to ask you this, but could you guys keep this a secret ? I want just you three to know." (Y/n) pleaded to the three as soon as she closed the office door behind her.

Jean purses his lips as he sends her an uneasy look, "well, uh... about that.. It looks like that new employee from business management has made the rumors spread already."

"What.. how ??"

"I think someone saw you two on a date, so we had a hunch." Historia added.

(Y/n)'s shoulders slump down. The fact that three of her friends know about her hidden relationship with the vice president is too much to handle, and now Historia just stated that the rumors about them have spread. Life is surely not being nice to (Y/n) (L/n) right now. Ah... what a cursed life.

"Oh shit..."
