-Levi POV-
"As I thought, being a doctor suits you the most." I said that which clearly catches his attention. He's willingly turned his back to face me this time.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked me in his displeased tone and I just smile.
"Well, you just looked cool back then." I just said what I really thought and he doesn't seem very pleased with my answer.
"I just did what I could. That's nothing." He just replied like that. Not interested to talk about it further.
"Well, it's what you said. But you see Mr. Auclair, the way you acted back then, just shows how passionate you are as a doctor. Are you sure you don't wanna go back as a doctor again?" Knowing what answer I will get, I jusk asked. Honestly, I prefer him be my secretary for the rest of his life.
"I'm sorry Mr. Ackerman but I think I clearly told you that not to mention about me being a doctor again. As of now, I'm Haruka Charles Auclair, an office worker and also your secretary. Well then, if you excuse me, I'll take my leave." With that, he just left me there and made his way towards his room. Well, I did expect this will happen.

-Sharlie Cheen Bar-
"I can't believe you made me, a busy man, hang out with you here. I came here as soon as I finished my work." Felix, who just arrived, said that with his pissed off face.
"Yo, Felix! I'm sorry I just need someone to have a drink with and I do have something I wanted to ask you." I just smiled and he was still giving me his irritated expression.
Felix Benz. A friend of mine that I got to know when I was studying in the States. We went to the same university that's why. His family owns Benz Automotive Company, one of the largest companies in Germany. He's going to be the heir of the company.
"You do realise I have work tomorrow, right, Levi, and who drinks at this hour, actually?" He said that, but still took the seat beside me. I look at the watch on my wrist. It's 7:15 p.m., and people should have dinner now instead of drinking at the bar.
"Easy there, Felix. I also have work tomorrow, but a few drinks won't hurt, right? I even reserved this VIP room for us." I said, grinning at him and handing him a glass of whiskey.
"Tch. You're a heavy drinker. A few drinks won't affect you. So, what is it you wanted to ask me?" Urk. He really doesn't want to hang out for a long time after seeing him jump straight to the point. Well, he gets work tomorrow. I can't blame him.
"Alright, alright. It's nothing, actually, but do you perhaps know the best chocolate, dessert, or pastry shops here?" I asked him bluntly.
"Levi, did you ask me to come here just to ask me that?" I can see he's trying to hold back his anger. Well, someone just asked you to meet up after work just to ask something silly that can actually be asked through a message. Again, I can't blame him. I wanted to drink, though.
"Well, that's really the thing I wanted to ask, and yeah, I need someone to accompany me." I brought the glass up to make a toast, and Felix just sighed and did the same.
"Well, I'm here already, so nevermind. So, what about these dessert and pastry things? As far as I can remember, you're not a fan of sweet things, right?" He asked just for confirmation, and he's not wrong, though. I don't really like sweets.
"Well, yeah. I don't really like them. It's for someone else." I said, avoiding eye contact with him.
"Hmm? Who is this someone else here? Who managed to steal Levi Ackerman's heart? Is she here? From Germany? How did you know her?" This is why I don't want to ask Felix, but I have no choice. He always has so many things to ask.
"You asked too many questions, Felix. First of all, it's not she, but he. He works with me, and yeah, he's here, but he's not from Germany. He just came here to work with me. How did I fall in love with him? I'm not going to tell you. So, that's all. Now, tell me the best shop you got around here." This time, I'm going to ask the straight answer. I don't want to tell him the details about me and Haruka yet.
"Tch. Alright, alright. Well, if you're looking for chocolate, we have Ritter Sports pretty much everywhere you can find it worldwide. Hachez chocolate is good too, as are merci and moser roth. That's in my opinion, since I'm also a sweet tooth person. As for the desserts and pastries, we got Du Bonheur. Their tarts, macarons, and other desserts are the best. If you're looking for something like ice cream, I would recommend Caffè e Gelato, and the third one is Waffel oder Becher. Well, their main dishes are waffles, of course. CANAL - Linienstraße is famous for their various flavours of eclairs. BLUNCK Pâtisserie Café has various types of dessert too. Oh, you should try Rausch Schokoladenhaus desserts too! They got various types of desserts and pastries. That is one of my favourites." He grinned, and I think that's all he had to recommend for me.
"So, I guess that's all then?" I asked, not interested in him being excited talking about his favourites.
"Ugh. Well, yeah. I'm telling you based on my own opinion. I've tried all the dessert cafes here, and I'm giving you the top one based on my own evaluation." Felix said that with an irritated face.
"Yeah, alright, Felix. Thank you for hanging out with me and telling me all that. I'll take a look at all of them tomorrow. I guess I'm going to go back now." Now, I have what I want, so there's really no need to hang out any longer since we both have work tomorrow.
"You better thank me properly later, Levi." Felix gave me his death glare, and I just smiled innocently.
"Alright, I'll treat you some other time before I go back to France. I have to go. See you later, Felix." With that, I left him alone there.

I arrived at the hotel, and it's 8:30 p.m. now. I haven't had dinner yet. I guess I'll order the room service later. This is all because I've been thinking too much about Haruka. Once I step foot in the hotel lobby, I see Haruka sitting on the couch there. Huh, talk about the devil. But what is he doing there? I make steps towards him.
"Ahem." I try to grab his attention, and that's work. He averts his eyes at me.
"Levi. What are you doing here?" He's speaking informally now that it's out of working hours. Tch.
"Well, I should be the one asking you that since you know we have work tomorrow morning, right? You should be resting in your room." I said, acting like a gentleman who cares about his partner.
"What I do is none of your business. So leave me alone." Looking at his phone, he replies to me. Tch, guess that doesn't work, huh.
"Well, okay, then. Btw, I'm…"
"Senpai! Did you wait long? I'm sorry, I forgot my wallet." Louis' voice cut off my words. His timing, why is it always so perfect to interrupt our moment together?
"No worries. It's not that long. Let's go!" Haruka said it cheerfully. Seriously, his attitude changes 360 degrees when he's with Louis.
"But, before that, senpai. Did you bring the thing I told you earlier?" Before Haruka could drag him from here, Louis' question stopped him.
"I'm sorry, Louis. I forgot. You can wait here. I'll go get them." Haruka looks a bit panicked. What is this thing exactly?
"It's okay, senpai. You don't have to." Acting like a gentleman, Louis said that softly.
"It's okay, Louis. I'll be back in a few minutes." With that, Haruka left, leaving the two of us alone here.
"Where are you guys going?" I asked Louis. Monotone.
"None of your business." Right. What did I expect? Of course, he's not going to tell me.
As I make my steps to leave the lobby, his words stop me.
"Oh, btw, I'm going on a date with Haruka Charles Auclair this Saturday."
