It was only a few months ago that Rufus was under your care after being thrown into a strange world which certainly wasn't Gaia at all. He doubts it's anywhere near it. Since then, Rufus has been trying to make sense of it all. He was gone for a good few months, magically vanished for the people to wonder where he had gone to after the whispers appeared that only he could see. It wasn't that the company was in a sense of disarray, Tseng was handling it to an extent. Now you were standing Infront of Rufus somehow, something happened. You found yourself in Rufus' office when before you were roaming Midgar getting used to this place and turning heads wherever you went. "It is a complete and utter surprise to see you here, truly. You shouldn't even be here." Rufus' tone was laced with a hint of mockery, leaning back in his chair as his gaze sweeps over you as you stand in front of his desk, wearing a low cut dress tied by a few strings at your lower back, makeup and heels with your hair open and straightened. All dolled up. It's clear you were busy somewhere before you suddenly appeared in Midgar. It's not like Rufus found you attractive. Infact, Rufus almost loathed you. Back in that place, he had nothing and you helped. It's not that you looked down on him, it was merely a display of pity which he hated. He doesn't need pity, he's Rufus Shinra. The richest man on the planet. You're in a similar situation that he was in a few months ago. He's now back in his element and Rufus won't be as considerate as you were and lend you some money, handle your expenses. Not at all.
