I Told You So
-Drabble-

"No way."

"Yes way."

"You've got it all wrong," AC disagreed, shaking his head wildly.

"No, I'm seeing things much more clearly than the rest of you." Victor looked over at Bart, jaw hanging wide with a chewed sandwich seconds from falling out. "Look at the signs..."

"What signs?" AC sat back in his chair, brow furrowed. "So they hang out a lot..." He shrugged. "They work together."

"She's there when we arrive and when we leave... We assume she's left too. But there's no proof she has." Victor crossed his arms over his chest. "And don't say she's just a hard worker." His lips pursed. "Either she's obsessed with the job or she's..."

Bart scoffed. "No way, bossman's not mamacita's type!"

"Tall, dark, handsome hero? Yeah, she's never fallen for that before..."

"All you've got is circumstantial evidence. So she starts work earlier and leaves later, what else?" AC cocked a brow.

"All right, I found a bra." He stared at them. "A green one." He smirked. "Hanging off the ceiling fan over the kitchen table."

"Well... Ollie's always been a ladies man..." Bart trailed off, shrugging. "And maybe this one liked green."

"Right, coincidence." Victor nodded. "Okay, and the phone records that say they call each other daily at various intervals?"

"Dude, you checked his phone records?"

He narrowed his eyes at them. "It wasn't for this. I check in occasionally and erase any vital numbers from the phone service database."

"And?"

"And they talk, a lot, as in constantly. Whether he's in town or not, they spend hours on the phone together, every day." His brows rose.

"They've got a lot to talk about," AC sighed. "They work together."

"Why is this so hard to accept?"

"Because it's absurd."

Bart snorted. "Yeah, dude, Chloelicous and Oliver..."

Victor shook his head. "Fine. But when they finally admit it and you see me smirking... That's me saying I told you so."

"Whatever." AC rolled his eyes.

"Guys," Oliver interrupted, walking into the living room. He smiled. "Glad you're here. We have some news to share with you."

"We?"

Chloe appeared, grinning. "Hey." Her hand reached automatically for Oliver's, fingers tangling.

Bart and AC turned to Victor, who was grinning smugly.
