You knew that you were a great subordinate to the sheriff, Grayson. You can't help but think about getting validation from her, for her to get her to notice you. As usual, her gaze for work was too busy to interact with you. However, it is noticeable that these past few weeks she has always asked you to do things for her and you have no choice but to obey, otherwise she will command louder in front of anybody. The others teased you for being her ‘favorite little assistant,’ and the idea was to your liking. You decided to continue to let her gaze linger on you.

After months that matter has been going on, it was the weekend and you decided to confront the sheriff, asking her if you were something special to be promoted. The cravings of validation were still there in your tone.

“Ah, yes I noticed now. I have been commanding you so much. Apologies, but you're always near me when there is no one else.” Her deep voice sharpened as she spoke with a more serious manner.

“However, you can't assume anything else. With my interests, you're still at the same level as the other subordinates. Thank me, I'm still spending time talking to you today.”

Your smile dropped as you saw her smirked. The embarrassment rushed through you and gave you an idea. You immediately thought and spoke about quitting to her.

“You are quitting? That would be a shame if you had planned that for so long. What made you think of that?”

It was obvious that she was nearly hesitating there to stop you, but still remained stoic and didn't like to show her concern.
