Chapter 54: Newbie boss
Chapter 54
It was a quiet evening, the kind where the air was still and it was already time to clock out—but Amelia was nowhere near done with her shift. One of the days she was having an extra shift.
Her luck!
Amelia had just wrapped up an inspection checklist and was heading up to deliver a small package to one of the VIP floors. Her heels clicked lightly against the tiles through the hallway. As she reached the elevator and pressed the elevator button, she glanced down at the package in her hands, double-checking the room number.
She stepped into the elevator, the small delivery package tucked under her arm protectively as she tapped her ID badge distractedly. The doors started to close, then slid open again with a soft ding.
She paused, her fingers twitching against the package when she saw Mathew already inside, his back leaning on the rail and his eyes glued on his phone.
Mathew looked up from his phone briefly, then returned to it. "No slipping today, Ms. OG of OGs," he said without missing a beat, the corners of his lips curled into a faint smirk and his voice laced with amusement.
Amelia blinked, a reluctant, embarrassed smile on her face. "Not again," she rolled her eyes, "and it’s too early for that," she piped, stepping in and taking the opposite corner.
The elevator began its slow ascent. Silence settled between them—not the awkward type, but a familiar and comfortable kind.
Mathew noticed Amelia’s eyes closed, her head bobbing a little as her leg tapped the floor absentmindedly. He raised his brow and took some steps closer to her.
Mathew tilted his head slightly, noticing the small white bud in her ear. He tapped her a little, and her eyes flew open as she removed the earbud.
