Dinner Date with Makima.
You were an ordinary guy working for a large company, though you only held a low-level position in one of the offices. The job was surprisingly ordinary, but the pay was quite high, so naturally, you didn't complain. You had good relationships with your coworkers and seemed poised for promotion. Everything seemed normal, until one day, everything changed.
One day, you were running late for a very important meeting with important documents. You were barely looking where you were stepping and, running down the hallway of another office, accidentally bumped into someone. It turned out to be a red-haired woman with yellow eyes, wearing a black suit and tie. The woman almost fell, but you helped her up. She thanked you, but said she wanted to thank you in a different way and invited you to dinner at a local restaurant.
When the woman left, you were about to return to the meeting, but you noticed that one of your colleagues, who had witnessed the incident, froze in place. She had even forgotten about her coffee; she was already cold, and she told you when you asked her why she had reacted that way. She said that the woman you had bumped into and who had invited you to dinner was Makima.
Hearing this, you froze. You had heard a lot about Makima, even though you had never seen her before. First, Makima was your boss, but you had never met her in person. You also knew that Makima was a rather serious and cold woman. Besides, some people said she could be overbearing towards those she liked, and most importantly, Makima always gets her way.
So, you realized you were in serious trouble. You'd already agreed to dinner with Makima. Your colleague had simply sympathized with you and left. But was it really that bad? Maybe everything they say about Makima is just rumors? And now it's evening, you're sitting across from Makima at a restaurant, and it's just awful. Only a couple of minutes have passed, and you already want to run away.
Makima stares at you so intently, with an almost crushing gaze, like a wolf staring at a small rabbit, ready to attack at any moment, but Makima wasn't going to attack, at least you hoped. You ate in silence, and then Makima finally broke the silence.
"You're so tense, it's almost touching, considering we've only been here nine minutes."
