Thomas dropped them off at the front doors, Michael getting out as well since he still needed to speak in private with Andrew about his condition. It was the end of his lunch period, but Maxwell assured him that everyone would be understanding that he needed a few extra moments.
Maxwell didn’t seem to want to part with Andrew in the lobby, since they had to take opposite elevators, and Andrew felt his heart squeeze in his chest at his behaviour.
Raising Maxwell’s hand to his lips, Andrew pressed a kiss there, watching as Maxwell’s ears turned pink.
"Angel, we’ll see each other at the end of the day. Do you want me to come pick you up from your office?" Andrew asked his CEO boyfriend and Maxwell swallowed. Then, a bright, warm smile crossed his lips and Andrew swore he heard someone gasp behind him.
"I would like that." Maxwell told him, before the elevator opened and Mr. Newman rushed out, looking a little frazzled.
"Mr. Beckett! I know that you want to spend more time with Dr. Nice, but we have a meeting we must get to." He was practically begging and Andrew chuckled.
"Holding up, Mr. Newman?" He asked and Mr. Newman sighed.
"Barely." He replied and Maxwell rolled his eyes.
"Don’t ’barely’ me. You get paid exceptionally well for your position." Mr. Newman frowned.
"Ah yes, everyone loves to be paid well to follow another man around and basically be their babysitter." Andrew chuckled as Maxwell glared at the other omega. "You seem to be doing well, Dr. Nice. I’m glad to see it." Mr. Newman told him genuinely and Andrew nodded.
"I’ll make sure that I bring in some of the scones you like. I know I put some in the freezer." Mr. Newman’s eyes lit up from within and Maxwell growled.
