"And you threw away that chance just like that?!"

"Can you please calm down for a moment, Lia?" Jeno sighs as he stares blankly at the raven haired lady.

Lia snorts sarcastically in response, "no, I can't calm down when my best friend just almost got himself a boyfriend but gay panicked his way out!"

"Like seriously, we all know you want to kiss him, I don't blame you though... If I was straight." She cackles at the end, making Jeno roll his eyes.

"I'm sure Mr. Na is just as disappointed as you are."

"Okay, quit it with those false hopes."

"I am just pointing it out there that you're literally not the only one who's bummed out about your own choice." She crosses her arms.

Jeno ignores her as he turns around to arrange the stack of papers on his desk, "it's not too late though, why don't you go over to his office and get yourself a little smooch."

"Or... Something more?" Lia lilts, winking several times just in time for Jeno to see it.

"Lia!"

"Just giving some ideas." She nonchalantly replies to his scolding.

Huffing, the brunet boy shakes his head at her. "Well your "ideas" are going to get me fired one day."

"Oh please," Lia blows a raspberry, "Mr. Na is too interested in you to let you go."

"Isn't that so sweet? Like, if you two actually got together, he won't let you go that easily! He will fight for you!" She chirps.

Almost pausing for a moment after hearing her words, Jeno shakes it off and continues his task on arranging the papers.

Meanwhile, Lia quietly snickers at him and takes a seat on one of the chairs. "Just imagine, love, Mr. Na's arms around your body, holding you close and kis-"

"Okay, Jisu, that's enough. Don't you have your own duties to do?" Jeno quickly interrupts her with a forced smile.

Waving him off, she reluctantly stands up with a frown on her pretty face. "I was hoping you wouldn't notice."

"Too bad, now go head off before Mr. Na catches you." Sighing in exaggeration, Lia takes her leave out of Jeno's office.

The brunet boy lets out a breath but soon pinches himself when he felt his cheeks turning hot.

Don't be delusional, Jeno.

"Thank you for the report, Lia. You may go now." Jaemin kindly says, accompanied with his charming smile.

His secretary smiles back before pursing her lips, "actually, Sir Na. I have a question for you."

"Oh?" Jaemin perks up in interest, interlocking his fingers as he stares at her patiently. "And what may that be?"

Lia looks around, as if making sure no one is eavesdropping on them. She then scoots her chair closer to Jaemin's desk, eyeing her boss from across the table.

"Sorry to be intrusive, Sir Na. But... I was wondering if you're seeing someone?"

Furrowing his eyebrows, Jaemin doesn't answer right away. As if testing her.

"And what do you mean by 'seeing someone' ? I know there's another meaning for that."

Lia hums before replying, "what I mean by that, Sir Na, is... Are you perhaps dating anyone?"

"As of now, sadly I am not." Her boss replies quite calmly, a little surprising for her as she thought Jaemin would be mad for such a personal question.

"Ahh, I see..."

"But I do have an eye on a certain someone." Jaemin smiles faintly at her.

"Is it Jeno?" Lia couldn't help but blurt it out.

I mean, if she can't help Jeno make a move or convince him that there's a chance for his love life, then she'll just have to go to Jaemin's side this time.

The blue haired man tilts his head to the side, she thought she must have been too much, but was soon surprised by a chuckle escaping Jaemin's parted lips.

"Was I that obvious?" He muses.

"Oh my goodness..." Lia gasps, "you like him! As in, you have a cute crush on him."

Jaemin laughs in amusement, oddly not bothered at all. But Lia pushes those thoughts aside for now, she'll ask about that later on.

"It was kind of obvious for me, but that's just me," she nonchalantly says, forgetting she's talking to her boss right now.

"Oh, right... Sorry for being intrusive, Mr. Na, I was just really curious." She chuckles sheepishly.

"And what made you curious, Jisu-ssi?" Jaemin smirks mischievously at her.

She scoffs and blurts out more information, "Jeno doesn't believe me when I said there was hope for you two to be together, Sir Na."

"He said I was giving him false hope, and there's nothing going on. He believes you're just being nice to him because he's your secretary and all."

"And now I am quite annoyed that he dropped that opportunity with you yesterday, I apologize on his behalf, Sir Na."

Finishing her rant, she then covers her mouth and mumbles some curses behind her palm. Jaemin smiles in amusement at her.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Jeno that you have accidentally told me." Jaemin reassures her.

The raven haired lady nods before regaining her usual attitude again; optimistic yet sassy.

"Actually, Sir Na. Now that you know... May I request a proposal for you?"

Raising a brow, Jaemin sits still as Lia leans forward on the desk between them, whispering to him her ideas that soon made them both snicker.

Finishing up their discussion, Jaemin leans back on his chair and smiles at her. "Well, then... Thank you for the extra report, Lia. You may be excused."

Lia could only giggle before standing up, bowing in respect for her boss as she takes her leave.

Not realizing she still has a grin adorning her face, she flinches when Jeno pops up near her while holding a file.

Great timing... not really.

"Thought you were by the third floor by now? Why are you still in Mr. Na's office?" Jeno asks in confusion.

Lia just smiles innocently and ruffles his hair, "just had extra discussion time about my reports, don't worry about it, darling."

"Uh... Okay?" Jeno drawls off, utterly confused.

"See you later, Jen!" His colleague then waves him goodbye, shaking his head at her before turning around to knock on Jaemin's office door.
