Chapter 67: Date With Dacey
"Come in," Rob said as he heard a knock on the door.
Looking up from the documents he was pursuing, he saw Dacey standing in the doorway and looking towards him a little apprehensively. She wasn’t wearing anything spectacular at the moment, as she had just finished her workout.
However, Rob felt his heartbeat speed up seeing her standing in the doorway. A smile crept upon his face without even him knowing. Rob hastily put down the documents in his hands and greeted her.
"Hey, Dacey! Ah, one moment, let me just put these away," he hastily said standing up from his chair.
Dacey merely nodded. There was red spreading across her cheeks as Rob started fumbling in a hurry to put the documents away in a pile. He hastily lumped the documents scattered across his desk into a pile and cleared up his desk, before walking towards the door.
In his mind, he was cursing at the lack of technological advances in this world at the moment. If he had been on a computer, he could simply lock it by pressing a few keys. It would have been even better if it was on a smartphone. A single press of a button could have done the job.
Instead, he was now clearing the mess in his office in a hasty manner in front of a woman he was going out with. Rob felt a little embarrassed as he approached Dacey.
After his meeting with Mr. Gibson and others early in the day, his mind has been kind of preoccupied with the stuff that had been discussed during the meeting. He had almost forgotten about going out with Dacey later in the evening.
And now, Dacey was standing at his office doorway. He felt his performance so far had been really poor. First of, it had been Dacey that had asked him out and not the other way around. And now, she was waiting for him at his office doorway. He cringed as he realized that he was not making a good impression here.
Before the meeting, he had planned to finish his stuff by the afternoon and meet Dacey at the training center in the evening before taking her out. But now, he had fumbled all of this by getting immersed in his work.
"Sorry about that, <Last Stand> was a huge hit and more work has piled up," Rob said sheepishly as he closed the door behind him.
"No problem, I am actually happy that we did so well," Dacey said smiling a little.
