-Levi POV
"Mr. Auclair, who is he actually?" I asked and he is clearly taken aback by the question.
"As you know, William Anderson is an engineer." He replied to me with an uninterested tone.
"I'm wondering what your relationship is with him." I pull his body to face me.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to not ask anything about my private life?!" He half-yelled. He looks at me angrily, but I don't care.
"I did say I'd break those stupid conditions of yours one by one." I grabbed his arm tightly, but not so tight as to hurt him.
"Let go of me, Levi Ackerman." He looks at me dead in the eyes. Wow, this is the first time he said my full name. I could get a boner right here and now.
TING!!!
The elevator stopped at the 17th floor. I took my hand off his arm just as the lift opened. Who the hell is this?
"Ahh, brother, Haruka senpai." Damn, it's Louis, the last person I wanted to meet.
"Louis, what exactly are you doing on the tenth floor?" Mr. Auclair moves to stand beside Louis.
"Ah, I met Lucas while waiting for you, Senpai." Louis said, but his eyes were fixed on me, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips.
"Sorry, I just had lunch at the cafeteria. You should tell me. Did you have lunch?" As for Mr. Auclair, his attitude totally changes when he's with Louis. A caring and soft-spoken one.
"Not yet. I've been busy working with my father." Busy, my ass. You said you met Lucas just now, and I know you already had lunch with father, of course.
"Alright, no worries. I already ordered your favourite, you can eat later." Mr. Auclair said happily, and at the same time, we reached the 30th floor, our office.
"Haruka senpai is the best! You've always taken care of me since I was in the United States." Louis put his hand on Haruka's shoulder while they were making their way to our office.
I have the authority to transfer him to another department, but if I did, Mr. Auclair would know right away that it was me. I don't want him to hate me even more, so I need to bear with this until his three months are over. I make my way towards my office. This is better than seeing them being clingy in front of me. I'll just stay in the office until my meeting.
"Let's go to the pantry. I'll accompany you while you're eating. The food should arrive by now." He said, grabbing Louis' hand once the lift opened.
"Mr. Auclair, I believe you don't forget that we have a meeting this afternoon." My voice stopped him from walking, and he looked at me.
"And I believe the meeting is at 4 p.m., and it's not like Louis going to eat for an hour, btw. And I already finished all my work for today too." He said, glaring at me.
This time, I'm a bit speechless and don't know what to say.
-Haruka POV-
I look at Levi, waiting for him to say something back, but he remains silent.
"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving with Louis first." Grabbing Louis' hand, I dragged him to the pantry with me.
"Seriously, senpai, you just left like that, and it's my brother, your boss." Louis spoke as we took our seats in the pantry.
"He's not going to fire me anyway." I smiled at him, and he smiled back. That's enough for me. I don't care if I'm rude towards Levi or what. At least I can spend time with Louis for a while.
"Well, I guess you're right." Louis laughs, and I just smile at him. This is enough to make me happy for the rest of the day.
//SKIP//
-After the meeting-
We just finished the meeting for today, and the clock shows 5:30 p.m. right now. The meeting took longer than expected, and now just me and Mr. Auclair are here in the office. Fortunately, Louis had already returned home. He is busy tidying up his office table. This is the time. I should talk to him when Louis is not around.
"Mr. Auclair." I approached him.
"What?" He keeps tidying his place, not even looking at me. Tch.
"I'm sorry about earlier." I said it in a flat tone.
"Yeah, you should, and please stop meddling with my private life." He took his bag, ready to leave.
"Haruka Charles Auclair, you love my brother, don't you?" He said my full name, and his question makes me shocked. Is my affection for Louis really so obvious?
"What do you mean?" I know I cannot lie anymore, but I'm still trying to beat around the bush.
"Mr. Auclair, I knew it the first day Louis came back. The way you look at him and how you treat him is totally different." He said, looking directly into my eyes. I look away from his gaze.
"I thought I already told you to stop meddling in my private life." Despite the fact that we are making eye contact and I am looking at him this time, I am glaring at him.
"And I don't want to repeat what I told you either, so you should stop telling me that." This time, I am pissed.
"Just answer my question, that's simple." Now, he makes himself closer to me. It's just a few inches between us.
"Yeah, I do love your brother, so please stop bothering me!" I raised my voice. Luckily, no one else is here except for both of us. He smirks at me.
"Huh. So that's true. But you know, Mr. Auclair, you'll regret that." He comes closer to me. I can feel his breath.
"I don't see that coming since he is better than you." I push him away from me.
"Tch. Better than me? If you feel that I'm a bad man, then I think you should know this. Instead of me, my brother is the worst." He said it bluntly, not even feeling guilty. How could he say that to his own brother?
SLAP!!!
