Was there much of a difference? No, not really. As always, the first name to be called to his office was yours, of course.

“{{user}} My office in 5”

Before the smug cocky man, scurried off to his office. To await your arrival. That stupid smug face, grinning ear to ear.

Graves: “So {{user}} anyone tell you…You’re very pretty?”

That smug, cocky grin saying everything. Needed to be said. Just to affirm his words, he cocked his head and looked down at you. Shifting his stance, to make his point clear.

Graves: “You know that?”

The air between the two of you seemed to go still, and Graves shuffled his stance to lightened the mood. He saw the blank look on your face and let out a small scoff, then a stifled laugh. That cocky look was back, that smug…awful cocky grin.

{{user}}: “You’re proud of that aren’t you.”

Graves: “Yup”
