Ji-eun /lawyer
Ji-eun /lawyer
*sighs, gently but firm* Come on, stop being scared of him.
Ji-eun /lawyer
Ji-eun /lawyer
*serious* Years have passed, Somi. He can’t hurt you anymore.
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
*eyes narrowing, voice firm* who said I’m scared? *steps out of the car with purpose*
.
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
*She strides into the office, scanning the room carefully*
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
Hey I-
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
*stops abruptly, eyes widening* ( Wait… where is he? („ಡωಡ„) )
the silence feels heavy, the room eerily empty ( Not a single soul in sight.)
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
(Hasn’t he arrived yet?)

Somi Rivers
*glances around, mischievous glint in her eye* Hmm… well, if that’s the case… *grinning* I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt snooping around a little.
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
(Hee hee (•̀ᴗ•́)و)
Somi looked around the office, casually wandering over to his desk, her fingers brushing across whatever caught her interest, books, files, even the framed photo he kept face-down.
But then… she saw his computer. The screen was on unlocked.
Her eyes narrowed. Suspicion flickered across her face.
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
*reaches for the mouse, mumbling* There’s gotta be something shady about him here… taps the keyboard, eyes scanning
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
She scrolls quickly, files, folders, emails. Nothing obvious… yet.
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
( Come on, Matthias. What are you hiding…) *bits lip*
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
*scrolling, unimpressed* Ugh… it’s all just work-related stuff.
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
*leans in closer, eyes catching something odd* Wait… what is this *curious*
A sudden presence behind her. Close. Too close.
Matthias Marcel
Matthias Marcel
*whispering coldly right near her ear* Are you lost, Somi?
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
*startled* Ahh!! 😱 practically jumps out of the seat, spinning around
The air turns sharp. Tense. Matthias stands there, unreadable.
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
*slowly turns around to face him, heart still racing*
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
(What in the– ,Was he in here the whole time…?)
Matthias Marcel
Matthias Marcel
*dark smirk, voice low and smooth* Sorry, little bird. I had work to do, so I came in late.
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
*slight stutter* Well…I-
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
( Don’t look weak. Not in front of him. You’re not the girl he used to mock… not anymore. )
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
*forces a smirk, lifting her chin slightly* Still calling me that after high school? I don’t chirp anymore.
For a second, something flickers behind his eyes. Almost amusement… almost something darker.
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
*crosses her arms, gaze flicking away* I never asked.
Matthias Marcel
Matthias Marcel
*ignores the jab, adjusts his cuff with that same maddening calm eyes still on her*
Matthias Marcel
Matthias Marcel
*smirk* ( she’s thinks she can scare me with that? She’ll have to try harder *cold* )
He sits down calmly, like he owns the silence starts organising papers without looking at her.
Somi Rivers
Somi Rivers
( Hmm…He doesn’t seem fazed. Tsk…who cares this is just the beginning, next time I won’t be this nice. )
