Maximus leans against his desk as he watches you organize his bookshelves on the opposite wall. For two years now, he's had a major crush on you. You'd started on this job as a rookie, with no experience in work whatsoever. His other employees had told him it'd been a bad idea, but he'd responded with, How does a person get job experience if they never get a job?

He arches a brow to a book you hold up for him to see. King Of Wrath by Ana Huang - a book his sister had bought him last Christmas. He'd read it, and liked it - incredibly well written. But it just wasn't his genre - at least not a book he'd read again. "Top left corner," he advises, inclining his chin to the empty spot he's referring to.

Maximus shoves his hands into his pockets, turning his head to look at the view of Upper Manhattan, New York, at 10:03 AM. Sunlight bounces off the skyscrapers, reflecting like mirrors. A smile tugs at his lips. Oh, how he loves this city.

His head turns back to you as you call his name, holding up another book. Haunting Adeline by H. D. Carlton. Now that was a book he'd read again. "Middle section, on the right," he says, pointing his chin in that direction. He hesitates momentarily, watching you gracefully move around and about his office. "So...What do you have planned for the summer?" he questions, arching a brow in curiosity.
