In the end Chris convinced me to get with him in his car. The car ride was actually fun, Chris was telling me a story about his dog.

We get to work and both go are separate ways.

I had to show Daniel (the new kid I hired) around the place just so he knows everything and what he is suppose to do and what not.

"So Daniel do you have any questions?" I say professionally.

"Yeah do I get the weekends off ?" He ask

"Of course you do" I say with a smile "and if there are any days you can't make it to work just text me or Mr. Evans" I say

"Dose it really matter who I text ?" He asks "I mean you both will probably tell each other anyways" he says

"Huh ?" I ask him. I wasn't really understanding him

"I mean you two are dating so I just thought-" I quickly cut him off and correct him

"No he and I aren't dating at all. He's my boss" I say "but why would you think that ?" I ask curious

"Oh I heard few of the workers here talk about it and I mean its a bit obvious you two usually get to work at the same time, right ?" He says

I mean to be honest if I would be Daniel I would think the same thing. It is a bit wired how Chris and walk in the office together, leave at the same time, have coffee together and he drives me home and to work. This is getting out of hand. I really am trying to keep this professional but Chris is making it very hard for me.

"Just to clear thing up he and I aren't dating" I say

"Okay" Daniel says

He clearly didn't care but why did this bother me so much ?

I ignore this for now cause I have a lot of work to do.
As I'm walking to Chris office I feel a sharp pain in my stomach, great I know this feeling. I get my purse and go to the bathroom. Yup i was right my period just started.

I get a tampon and stick it in. I wash my hands then walk over to Chris office because he wanted to talk to me about something.

I get in his office

"Ah Y/n your here" he says

"Yes you wanted to talk to me" I say standing in front of his desk.

"Well yes" Chris says getting up. He picks up three big brown boxes.
"I wanted to order Christmas decorations, but I ended up by buying these gains candy canes"
He said opening the box and showing me.

I start laughing

"What !?" Chris asks me

"Sorry, but what are you going to do with all these giant candy canes ?" I ask him

"I don't know" Chris says

"How about you just give them to everyone" I say

"Yeah I'll probably do that" Chris answers "here you can take this one" he gives me the big candy can. It was very big a thick (if you know what I mean) "have fun with it" Chris says

I look at him suspiciously trying to hide the smirk on my face because I might be 24 but I have a brain of a 15 year old. I'm very dirty minded sometimes.

"No I didn't mean it like that I just meant- you dirty mind" Chris says to me as we both share a laugh.

"Okay I should get going i have to figure out what to do with my car" I say

"Yeah and tell me if you need any help" Chris says to me as I leave his office.

As I'm walking I see Jack

"Hey jack" i say

"Hey" Jack say "do you know who my secret Santa is ?" He says to me.

I try hiding my smile because well I'm his secret Santa "nope" I reply.

"Well who ever it is gave me white chocolate, and it's absolutely disgusting" Jack says

Strange white chocolate is his favourite that's why I gave it to him "I thought you liked white chocolate" I say

"Well I use to but me and Sara started a diet and after the diet I only eat dark chocolate with 60% cocoa, cause it's more healthy" he says.

Eww

You know what I'm actually happy me and Jack aren't dating anyone, cause I can't put up with him.

I just roll my eyes and walk away to my car.

As I'm walking I hear Daniel behind me
"hey Y/n stop !" He says.
I turn around and see Daniel give me a bag with a gold fish in it
"This is for you" he says

"What from who !?" I take the fish bag

"It's from you secret Santa" he says As he rubs away.

I just stand there with a gold fish in a bag as I think about who it could be. Only Chris and Jack know about my fish. So it's one of them.

I think about it for a few minutes then then go over to my car. I put the fish in the front seat and try starting my car again maybe it will just magically turn on.

After trying for a few times my car still doesn't turn on.
I whip my phone out my pocket and make a few calls. A truck will come and pick up my car and I will get it back tomorrow on Friday. Sounds great I'll probably take a taxi or the subway back home.

❄️

End of the day i wait outside for a taxi, once a taxi finally stoped, I get in, then get home with my fish. Yes the fish was still in the plastic bag. I'm surprised it's still alive.
I waited a few minutes then put him in the water.
My fish looked very happy In It's tank.
He really needs a name.

What should I name him ?
