His small pause made me think it was done, that he was accepting my reply. Yet his gentle voice came as his hands dropped down, "... is it something too personal?"
"Yes, sort of." Completely personal.
"I see," He said, serious, "I'm glad it wasn't something I did."
This line sent warmth to my heart. He didn't want to be the culprit. Even if he didn't think of me that way he still valued me enough to not want that. The bad news is that you didn't do anything and yet I still fell for you, Xav. You're still the reason I'm saying all these lies.
"... you must be really bored having no one to keep up with you, Sir." After taking a peek at his expression, I threw a little joke. Seduced by the fact that he made this effort. He grinned, making me immediately regret it, since I felt overwhelming fluff invade me with it. "The CEO of OslicMedia must feel lonely without the funny new employee."
"Yeah, I do."
Damn it, don't say that so sweetly when you don't really mean it.
