![]() He was nosey, but always polite about it. "What's inside, if you don't mind sharing," Kai asked. Zen shook it like he was guessing the contents inside. Shiira nodded his head, ducking down to the desk and taking out a large, but lightweight, package. He practically did-owning thirty-five percent of shares in the company. Zen walked in with so much confidence like he owned the building. "Speak of the devil." Shiira darted toward the entrance. Water-cooler gossip was for the bored and useless workers. ![]() They were security guards, fo goodness sakes. Shiira shrugged and kept his next thoughts to himself. "Yeah, right! Obi and Shirayuki? When pigs fly. Kai nearly choked on his last drops of coffee. "Seriously, they have so much tension, you could cut it with a knife." Those two hate each other," Kai chimed in, elbowing Shiira. Shiira caught Obi's impish smile toward Shirayuki and watched the doors slam as they went in. "Whatever you say, Miss." He opened the office doors for her, one hand gently placed at the small of her back, corralling her in. "You mean a hot ass," he said, winking at Kai. Obi whistled, hands behind his head, hips grazing Shirayuki's as they walked side by side. Morning, Kai," she said chirpily, her tone completely different from a second ago. "You're such an ass, Obi," Shirayuki snapped, arms crossing against her chest. Shirayuki and Obi dragged inside, bickering on their way in. He nodded lightly at each one, softly greeting them a good morning. Shiira wedged the door open, letting the rest of the cattle in. He flicked her badge out of his fingers, letting it smack into her nose. ![]() He glared down at Shirayuki, his face so close they could almost kiss. ![]() Obi swiped her card, waited half a second and pulled the doors open. "It doesn't work, Obi," she insisted, a tinge of red growing on her cheeks. "You're an embarrassment, Miss." He grabbed Shirayuki's badge, tugging it harshly and nearly crashing her face to wall. Morning, Shiira." Obi shoved his way to the front of the line. What will they do without him, he thought.īefore Shiira could manually open the door, there was a commotion behind the growing crowd. Besides, that button is for the handicap," Shiira explained, facepalming, walking toward the doors. "Fuck it, just press the button and let her in," Kai huffed out, swirling his coffee cup. "It's not working, Shiira!" she shouted, voice muffled by the glass between them. Shirayuki swiped her badge and pulled the door handles immediately-not waiting for the click. "Shirayuki! You have to swipe, wait for the click, then pull!" Shiira dropped his head, sighing with second-hand embarrassment. There were clicking and beeping noises at the front door, like someone trying to get in the building without permission. Shiira glanced at the small video screen in front of him, watching Marina head to the kitchen and prepare the morning's coffee pot. The cleaning lady Marina was on time today, nodding her head toward the two guards as she walked straight through the office doors behind them. "Are you?"Ī few early bird employees trickled in. Shiira shook his head, eyes glued to the glass doors of the building. "Are you bringing a date tonight?" Kai asked as he stapled the blank sign-in sheets. It was their responsibility to know each and everyone going in and out of the building, know where everyone was at and what they were doing. They were the first people inside Wistal Headquarters, setting up the security cameras and checking the daily agenda for scheduled client meetings. "I don't feel like setting up the coffee maker, you know." If you remembered that you wouldn't be late all the time." Shiira grabbed the cup anyway and took a slow sip. "That's because I had to get us coffee," Kai explained, sliding a cup to him as he sat down next to him. Shiira sighed, sitting straight in his swivel chair. Kai strolled into the building, whistling a Christmas tune while holding two Starbucks coffee cups in his hands.
