"So he is like that to everyone?"

"Not to such an extreme extent, only if you're a man, actually even then.... but ....yeah, is how it is sadly. Got enough bad experiences with him for myself as well. The best thing for you is to go out of his way."

Spoke Seo to me as she played around with the fruit cake she got from the Cafeteria, seemingly contemplating about something as she poked around on it with her fork, dragging the jelly on top of the cake from one side to the other.

"Going out of his way? The guy tried to grope you!"

"Don't worry about me.... I got my way to deal with him. For you, I fear it won't be that easy though....."

Assured she me before peeking up at all of a sudden. Trying to change the subject of the conversation with it.

"By the way! This cake is really good. You want it? I am already full... Got a second fork for you as well!"

Exclaimed she while lifting up the fork so I could see it. It was kind of cute to see how much she wanted to lift the spirit of the conversation though I needed to cut it here short.

"How nice of you to think about me but I should be going."

"Where ya heading to? A stroll around the city? Got a couple of nice places in mind we could visit."

"I'll got not every detail of it but I need to head into Makima's buro for a quick briefing."

"To Makima herself? Wow really needs to be of high importance. Mind if I come with you? Got my hands free today and could help you out there."

"Do you think that could even be possible?"

"Don't know, but if we don't ask no one of us will know it. But the only thing I know is that the more the merrier!"

Answered she as the both of us stood up and made our way out of the Cafeteria.

"And if we are then already out of the house.... we could do something fun. I don't think Makima cares about what we do if the job is done. What do you think? Is the nice coffee shop visit you promised me still available?"

I did not even need to look back to know that she had a devilish smirk on her face as I could hear it already by only listening to her voice. Betraying that this wasn't the only thing she had on her mind.

"You sound like you got more on your mind than just this. Is the offer of yours available as well?"

"For you? Of course, all day and all night. From dusk till dawn....."

"As direct as always it seems."

"Hehe, what can I say I like courageous men."

"Then you must be already head over heels for me."

Joked I as giggles escaped my closed lips. Remember this conversation I had with her more than well enough. Though she fell silent. Probably thinking about a way to talk back and one up it.

Though before I could relish in the knowledge that I got her with that, the both of us arrived in front of Makima's office.

Standing there we both look at one another. Seemingly checking for the approval of the other to enter.

"You're ready?"

"Sure I am, ain't like I had the whole day time to prepare for it."

"Well then."

Spoke she softly as I lifted my hand and knocked on the door, just as I did it on my first day. Thought I am more nervous than back then.

"Come in (Y/N)."

Weird, why does she know it's me? Could she have heard us talking? Nonetheless, there was no time to think about that as she waited for my arrival.

Stepping into the room I made quick eye contact with her but got quickly ignored as she saw my companion.

It was hard to ignore the heated standoff both women gave one another with their mere eyes. Looks like both of them aren't on good terms with one another. But even harder to ignore was the strong smell of nicotine that was hanging in the air. Didn't know that she smokes but why haven't I smell it yesterday?

But I honestly could not fault her for not being on good terms with Seo. I wouldn't like the person either that calls me a freak and puts me in the same category as Gabriel.

"Good morning Makima, I am here for the meeting just as you asked of me."

"Morning (Y/N) you just arrived the moment I thought about you, but why got you Seo with you?"

Makima knew that Gabriel's words about the both of them were just lies, a mere deterrent for his actual disgusting statements. But seeing the both of them together got her worried nonetheless.

"I brought her with me because-" Tried I to explain but got cut short by Seo who chimed in to the conversation.

"Good day Makima. I came with (Y/N) to ask for the possibility to take part in his mission."

"And why would you want that? If I may ask of course."

Question Makima as she interlocked the finger of both her hands.

"Because as it is now I only sit here and do nothing. And because of that, I thought I could help him out with his first mission."

"Well, then I am sorry to inform you that this will be a one man mission."

"What could be so important to warrant a meeting with you, an higher up, and be still a solo mission?"

Thought instead of answering Makima ignored her question and turned to (Y/N).

"Make yourself ready for mission (Y/N), the both of us will go soon."

"Hey, I thought it was a solo mission? Why are you then coming with him then?"

Asked she, clearly angered by Makima and how she contradicts herself.

Though in face of the angered Seo Makima kept her cold facade up. Not budding nor raising her voice. Even if it was hard around her (Y/N) to keep her mind clear and thoughts aligned.

"It indeed is. The higher up, those above me don't approve of his sudden incorporation in the second division as his track records are empty of any outstanding achievements, as of now of course."

Explained she thought she took a small break to align her thoughts once more and take a breather. Then continuing her monologue further.

"And thus is the reason why I accompany him. To guarantee not only his utmost safety but to also convince myself and the higher ups of his potential."

As Seo received this explanation her head sunk low. But instantly rose up once more as she asked another question. One that was even more important to her.

"But I still got another request that I would like to state!"

"Go on I am listening."

"I want to be his partner! It is not uncommon for bureau workers even on different levels of the hierarchy to form partnerships! And I thought that the both of us fit more than we'll together for such thing."

Exclaimed Seo loud and proud as he pushed out her chest and rested both her hands on her hips. Clearly showing of her conviction in this. Though what could be interpreted as awe-inspiring was for Makima nothing more than irritating. But she had a plan to push this conversation in her direction and tip the scales in her favor.

"Sorry to once more disappoint you Seo but I fear this won't be possible."

"And why is that not possible as well?"

"Because I am his partner already."

Explain she in her usual tone. Not budging a single muscle in her breathtaking face, even though she would now carry a smile that stretches from one ear to the other if she was alone.

"What?"

This took not only Seo by surprise but (Y/N) as well who continued to ask her out about it.

"I thought we would be in a Master and disciple kind of relationship?"

Ugh-, hearing him call her and address her as master...... it is another kind of sweet heaven.

"Of course, that's because we are.... for now. I planned to immediately take you as my partner as soon as you grow too experienced for a master and disciple relationship. I hope though that this isn't a problem for you my dear disciple?"

Cooed Makima as she tilted her head lightly to the side. Displaying her neck as she talked to him as if they were alone, not acknowledging Seo's existence whatsoever.

She knows how to push the buttons of many men and he isn't an exemption from that. She knows that her looks and personality make her irresistible and is ungodly good at using them as well.

(Y/N) was too shocked by not only Seo's but Makima's proposal to answer there but Makima took that shock as a sign of understanding and acceptance. But Seo on the other hand was deeply worried about the outcome of this mass. Even if he isn't giving his answer today he will one day decide himself for one of them.

She knew that she is a pretty girl but doesn't stand much of a chance against Makima's looks. So she needs to convince him with her personality. And how hard could it be to overpower an insensitive, unfeeling monster that feels no remorse for others? She already had him under his fingernails, she is sure of it. No matter how pretty Makima is.

"Good, that now everything has cleared up I want to ask you once again to ready yourself (Y/N), we will go immediately the moment I finished my paperwork. And about you miss Sakai... you would do well leaving for now."

Seeing as she established her dominance over Seo, Makima leaned back into her chair. Exhaling and inhaling in the knowledge of being able to handle smaller things with (Y/N) around.

"Do you mind if I light a cigarette, partner?"

"No not at all, go on." Reassured he Makima as he idly stood there waiting for her to finish."

"Set yourself down for the couple of minutes it does take me to finish my work. Do you want a cigarette as well?"
