🌈Chapter 33🌈

YN POV

"Y/N, I apologize to drag you into this situation." Wally sighed, he straightened his posture, trying to prevent himself from breaking down as it seemed.

"Bos- or Walden, it is perfectly fine! Stop apologizing about opening up to someone. Instead, tell me about Ophelia, help me understand what you are going through. I want to help." The way we start to befriend each other in this way was new to me. I didn't complain though, my boss, tall and intimidating; finding comfort in me?

"I guess. Ophelia was the joy of my whole existence. I would love just the thought of spending time with her, I loved her and she loved me, she was an angel and I was blessed to have her as my daughter." He looked at me, a small smile spread onto his face. I loved how absolutely gorgeous he was.

"But...she died some time ago. She was still young and I couldn't take it, I still can't. Nothing prepared me for the pain of losing your child like that. I would give anything to have her back. And seeing someone else remind me of her was so eye opening to me; I felt hopeful but I didn't show it, I didn't think I'd ever explain this to you either. To be honest, I didn't think someone soft-hearted like you would make it in the factory this long."

My eyes widened, I was honestly shocked how quickly he was able to summarize it. The way he described his daughter made me feel warm inside. People see him as some sort of demon but listening to him shows me just how amazing he really is. I feel so lucky.

"I guess we better get going don't you think, it's getting late."

Wally stood up casually, he wiped his face, calming himself down wiping the few tears away, his face returned to the same stern look he always had and he looked as if nothing had ever happened.

"Y/N , come on please."

Please? What a gentleman.

I followed closely behind Wally, admiring him quietly. Taking in an adoring every aspect I saw of him today; but I should probably keep quiet about it.

He opened the door as I stepped inside. The soft scent of his car washing over me again I grinned. "Hey Wally, I should ask. Do you wear cologne?"

He looked at me for a second, clearly confused at my random question before shrugging, "Sometimes yes. Though not often because the musty smell of the factory overrides it anyways, that's why my car smells much more fresh if that's why you asked." Interesting , I wonder if he smells this nice in public. I'm a bit jealous other people get to experience that, what am I saying?! That's so weird of me.

On the ride back to the factory , Wally took few glances at me again. I acted as if I didn't notice and decided to not say a word. Once he parked his car and looked at me, "For the first part of the day tomorrow I will not be at work, I will be visiting court again about the divorce if you have forgotten." Oh, how unfortunate, just after we got comfortable.

"That is fine! Should I bring you coffee a bit early?" I had honestly completely forgotten he was literally in the middle of a divorce. "Do whatever conveniences you, I do not wish to be a burden so early."

I blushed a little, do I know why? Hah, no. I just loved how considerate Wally was. We walked up to the doors, opening them to be confronted by Sally and Barnaby.

"WHATTTTTTT?" Sally looked shocked but eternally excited, "Where on earth were you guys?! What did you do all alone together?" Sally winked at us teasingly, Barnaby smirked jokingly being amused by how me and Wally started to turn a bright pink.

"Sally Starlet. I don't have to explain out of work situations. And do not get the wrong idea. Same for you Barnaby.." Wally looked annoyed but embarrassed, it was funny and I couldn't stop myself from laughing at them. How pleasing it was seeing them.

"Sooo~, anything romantic?" Sally walked up to me with a huge smile, she was obviously not gonna leave without the answer she's looking for.

"Sally you're embarrassing. Leave me and Boss alone." Sally snickered at me and looked at Barnaby, "They switched from 'Wally' to 'Boss' so fast-."

"Uhh yea we're in work of course I did?" I tilted my head, what's so funny about that?

Barnaby patted my shoulder and explained how embarrassed I looked, flustered and panicking , mixing my words from Wally to Boss and acting formal so suddenly was a body language showing my anxiousness.

I groaned playfully and pushed past Sally and Barnaby, "yea-yea you can play with Boss but I personally am hella tired so I am gonna go the hell to bed." I was worn out and stressed with today when I started to realize it. Sally and Barnaby waved goodbye and Wally only looked at me , nodding his head once as his half-assed goodbye.

I made it to my dorm and I looked at myself in the mirror, I felt like crying. I wasn't sad, infact I was just so overjoyed I couldn't contain it. I shook my head some-what aggressively trying to shake the images of Wally smiling and talking to me out of my head. Such a short day and yet so much happened. I don't regret my decision of asking about that flower anymore. Seeing as to how Wally felt because of him only made me more attracted to him.

I sighed and got into my bed , starting to scroll on my phone until tired, I found myself slowly falling asleep with a small smile on my face.
