"Hey, Akira."
I stand at her desk after she buzzes me in. Today, she is wearing a maroon dress that ends just above her knees and hugs her figure, highlighting her womanly curves.
"Good morning, C.C." Her cheeks are slightly flushed with a faint smile. "You're looking very professional today?" She arches a brow as her gaze sweeps over me.
I tuck my loose curls behind my ears and stare down at myself. "A pair of black dress slacks and a white blouse is hardly professional." I chuckle. "It is more a case of playing it safe." I groan, wishing I possessed the confidence to dress up like the majority of the girls around here.
"Is he in?" I enquire sceptically, hoping that I am not too late.
"Nope, he is upstairs this morning, I believe."
"Thank the Gods," I reply. "I'll catch up with you later."
"I'll be here." She hums as the sound of her tapping away on her keyboard follows me down the corridor.
