A small, soft chuckle actually leaves the woman’s lips. She made a mental note to brew him a fresh pot of coffee once she returns, as she’s certain he’s going to need it. The man could pull this off, of that she’s sure–But whether or not he’s going to have the stamina or mental energy to be in high spirits afterwards was another story.
“If you’re certain, Narumi. I’ll be back soon.”
As promised, she would only be out for about an hour or two, mostly taking a walk and enjoying the first bout of fair weather that they’ve had in a long while, obtaining a few necessities for the office, before finally returning to this place she now called home. From the moment she opened the door, just a single glance to the local modern day man’s hunched posture told her everything she needed to know.
And it made her crack just a little smile, seeing it coupled with the documents he’d completed. No doubt he’d pushed to do it all at once, despite her words of caution. But it was part of why she loved him so much.
“–You look like you need coffee.”
Even a modern man like himself couldn’t handle the hell of paperwork. Ugh, this is why he didn’t mind doing the footwork. On the plus side, at least he wouldn’t have to worry about doing it much later and he could just ignore whatever new ones comes his way. Maybe he’ll be fortunate when business goes back to just slowing down.
This is what happens when you go about trying to impress a woman with always stickin’ to your word. No regrets only that he had a headache that is. Speaking of she was back. He’d quickly fix his posture as he sat up not wanting to be sprawled over his desk as a hand ran back through his hair as he pushed his reading glasses up the bridge of his nose that had been threatening to slip off. A grin mustered in response as he laughed.
“Ha--! I could always use coffee, Tess. Don’t know what I’d do without it sometimes.”
Needing coffee was a understatement. Drinking a whole pot sounded mighty appealing right now. Glasses were lifted slightly to pinch the bridge of his nose.
“I tell ya paperwork can definitely wear down a person.” Not him of course, pshh.
