Sighing, Mike heads back towards the elevator and rides the elevator to the last floor. Now standing in front of Erwin's office Mike is contemplating fleeing, but knowing that he wouldn't get far with it he steels his nerves and knocks on the door. He doesn't have to wait for long to get the expected response.
''Come in'' Calls Erwin from inside the closed office room.
After inhaling a deep breath and slowly exhaling it, Mike puts back his mask of indifference and opens the door to the office and enters. Just as expected of anything that belonged to Erwin Smith, the office was tidy and had so little personal belongings but regardless of that it was extravagant and it was easy to tell that it was well taken care of. Mike took a few long strides until he stood in front of Erwin's office desk.
''Petra informed me that you requested for my presence at your office after my shift ended.'' Mike stated coolly.
''Ah, yes, yes I did, please sit down'' Erwin requested, sending one kind, charming smile that didn't reach his eyes towards Mike, making the young man cringe internally from how fake it is. Mike sat down on the chair placed on the left side of the office desk and waited for Erwin to state why he had called him over.
Erwin leaned back in his chair and stared at Mike for a moment as if trying to figure out how to preach the subject he wanted to talk to Mike about.
''How has your stay here at Survey Corps been?'' Erwin asked Mike, lifting one eyebrow in question.
Mike narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Erwin in a suspecting manner trying to figure out what he is trying to get to before he answered the question. ''I just started today so I can't tell yet'' Mike replied in monotone.
Erwin puts his elbows on the desk and interlaces his fingers, setting his chin on top of them ''Why are you here at Survey Corps?'' Erwin asks this time. ''I never told you where I worked''
Mike raises an eyebrow at that. ''And what makes you think that I followed you here?'' he asks a hint of amusement within his grey orbs, enjoying the way Erwin's eye twitched and his lips form a thin line, smile long gone in what he can smell the emotion of as irritation. ''and to answer your question, I was transferred to this company by the company I previously worked at because they were going to demolish the business. My presence here has nothing to do with you working here, in fact, I didn't even know until the meeting'' Mike replies.
Erwin stares at Mike trying to see any hint of a lie within his eyes, Erwin was a military man for at least 10 years of his life before he started working at the Survey Corps and he could easily tell if someone is lying. Seeing not even a hint of a lie Erwin leans back in his seat. He looks at some of the papers placed on his desk then looks back up to Mike and smirks, his next line has Mike's eyes widening slightly.
''Let's make a deal. Shall we''
Erwin purrs, eyes half lidded, smiling seductively at Mike.
