Blake chuckled. “That, and the fact that I couldn’t wait to see your pretty face and listen to all of your lame jokes.”


Justin snickered in response. He couldn’t be sure if Blake was blatantly flirting with him or if the man was just being friendly. In his position within the company, he would, more often than not, be the one to have the first and extended interactions with most of the new employees. During one of their conversations, Blake had informed him in a casual manner about a couple of ex-boyfriends, which was how he had gotten to know that the new vice president of the finance department was a fellow gay man. In exchange, he had told Blake about the non-discriminatory policies that were set in place by the management in the company before revealing his own sexuality. He had also promised to introduce Blake to his group of friends, all of whom were either gays or bisexuals.
