The Devil can't get rid of me so easily

Eiichi let go of my face, he crossed his legs and rested his head on the back of the chair. "I figured with everything that happened on this trip, things between you two might have gone to shit."

"So you hopped on the first flight here?" I rubbed my cheeks. "You didn't have to go through all that trouble."

His eyes darted around, "something like that." Then he sat up and stared squarely at me. "So remember when I said Daisuke-chan was all bark and no bite."

I nodded along while trying to spread the cream cheese on my bagel.

"Well, you're getting fired." He winks at me.

"I'm getting fired!" I launched at Eiichi, who saved my bagel as it slipped from my hands.

"Careful Cha-cha." He took a bite. "That's why I'm here." I clutched my hair, digging my fingers into my scalp.

"I'm getting fired. He is firing me?" I jumped to my feet, shouted and bit my nails. "I should be firing him. Terrible!" I turned back to Eiichi who already finished my bagel.
