At the offices of The Danville Times, a newspaper company, Jonathan walked into the editor's office to meet with Mr. Graham, a seasoned journalist. Mr. Graham greeted him warmly and briefed him on his task: collecting a vital document from Massive Management Enterprise, which would aid in publishing a story with facts. Jonathan accepted the challenge, determined to prove himself.
Upon arriving at Massive Management Enterprise, Jonathan was greeted by a familiar face — Joden, who was dressed in a suit and seemed to be working as an intern. As they found themselves alone in the office, Joden's flirting was met with Jonathan's resistance, but Joden persisted, claiming that the feeling was mutual. Jonathan remained steadfast in his denial, insisting that he was straight and had a girlfriend.
The tension was palpable as Joden continued to push Jonathan's boundaries. Just as the situation seemed about to escalate, Mr. Graham, the CEO, walked in, and Jonathan seized the opportunity to make a swift exit.
"You're still here?" Mr. Graham asked, his tone laced with a hint of curiosity.
Jonathan turned to face him. "I was just leaving, sir."
Mr. Graham's gaze narrowed slightly. "And then? Why do your cheeks look like a ripe tomato?"
Jonathan's face grew warmer as he replied, "It's hot in here, sir."
Mr. Graham's eyes seemed to bore into him, as if searching for something more. "Have you two been...?" he trailed off, leaving the question hanging in the air.
In perfect unison, Jonathan and Joden responded, "No!" Joden continued, "No, sir. We were just correcting a few things. It turns out that Mr. Jonas here is quite an expert at auditing."
Mr. Graham's expression turned skeptical. "Yeah right! So auditing involves red cheeks?"
Jonathan seized the opportunity to make a swift exit, saying, "Thank you for the file, sir."
As he rushed out of the office and building, he couldn't shake off the feeling that Joden had left a lasting impression on him. Little did he know that this encounter was only the beginning of a complex and intriguing journey.
Meanwhile, back in the office, Mr. Graham turned to Joden and said, "Not in my office, Joden." The tension was palpable, and the air was thick with unspoken words.
