Chapter 159: I’m here to pick up my boyfriend, the CEO
Andrew was sure he looked about as uncomfortable as he felt as he moved towards the CEO’s office. He could feel everyone who hadn’t been around when he and Maxwell had been touring staring at him. It was clear that there weren’t a lot of people who came up here without a purpose, but thankfully, Mr. Newman saw him right away.
Mr. Newman pushed himself away from his desk, leaving his task and coming to greet Andrew with a smile.
"Dr. Nice. Has the research department finished up for the day?" He asked cordially and Andrew had a feeling that he was doing this intentionally. Andrew glanced around, realising that the people who had been watching him were paying close attention.
Nervously, Andrew grabbed the back of his neck, smiling awkwardly.
"Well, I have. I don’t think Dr. Gates is done for the day, but what else can I do? It’s only my first day, I’m not fully helpful yet." Mr. Newman smiled at Andrew’s words.
"Well, I’m sure it’s all in good time. I heard that Mr. Beckett was looking to recruit you before you two hit it off, so I’m sure you’ll be an asset in now time." Andrew couldn’t help but feel his lips twitch. Andrew could feel the big ears leaning in as they heard everything Mr. Newman said, especially since he wasn’t saying it quietly.
"Is Max still busy?" Andrew asked. "Or is it stuff he can take home?" Mr. Newman’s lips twitched at Andrew’s affectionate way of calling Maxwell. He nodded slowly.
"He’s just finishing up a small meeting and then he’s free to go, Dr. Nice." Andrew grinned.
"Oh perfect. Is there anywhere I can wait?" Andrew asked and Mr. Newman gestured to a set of leather chairs that were pressed against the wall with the perfect view of the large wooden doors of Maxwell’s office. Andrew smiling happily. "Wonderful." Andrew said cheerfully, and Mr. Newman chuckled.
"Can I grab you anything? Water? Tea? Coffee?" Andrew waved his hand at Mr. Newman’s offers.
"I’m fine, Mr. Newman. I wouldn’t want to spoil my appetite for dinner." Andrew told him as they moved towards the chairs and Andrew sat down, the seats very comfortable. Andrew would expect nothing less from Maxwell.
