Ridiculous statement
Later that morning, I find myself in the boss' office. Sei is there with me, so are Momoi and the rest of GOM. For some reason, that I do not understand, they all look very upset. I have never seen Momoi's lips pressed together so tightly before, nor Tetsus eyes narrowed so dangerously. Bloody hell, even Midorima looks angry.
And I feel as though I have missed something, something big, something mind blowingly big, but I don't know what. It also feels as though we are waiting for someone to arrive, who exactly I am not quite sure.
When Sei and I had woken up, about thirty minutes earlier, to the warm sheets and tangled limbs, I had hoped that we might just be able to stay that way. Not that I was ever going to admit it to him, no, never. But then Sei's eyes landed on mine and they had narrowed dangerously. We left the apartment in silence. Sei had called someone to come and fix my door.
Now he stands with a folder in his hands and masked fury on his face.
We all hear the DING of the elevator opening and I look at the door expectantly. I am not sure what to expect, but when the doors open I suddenly feel sick to the stomach.
The Rhino strides into the room, though now he looks more like an elephant. His grey suit is straining at the seams, his skin is pudgy, his hair unkempt, a five o'clock shadow appears on his cheeks even though it is just past eight in the morning, his white shirt is an off yellow and he REEKS of cheap alcohol and cigars.
My stomach coils tightly and I suppress the urge to throw up.
"What is all this? What is going on here? Why did you want to see me at this ungodly hour?" he spits as he starts to massage his temples.
"Take a seat," Snowy Owl says icily.
Rhino takes another look around the room and spots me. "YOU-"
He starts, but Sei steps in front of me and says in a tone that would have brought Godzilla to its knees, "Sit down,"
I see Rhino gulp and he slowly sinks into his chair. He doesn't take his eyes off Sei though, and I don't like it.
"Why am I here?" Rhino asks loudly.
"You are here because you need to answer for your actions," Owl says simply.
"My actions? What are you on about?" Rhino says with a sniff.
"Shut up and listen. I have evidence, rock hard proof, that you have been harassing Furihata since he started working here-"
"That is the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard!"
"I also have proof that you have been sabotaging his projects and dragging his name through the mud even after I moved him to GOM," Owl continues as if nothing has changed.
"But what I really don't understand is why you would feel the urge to break into Furihatas apartment and make yourself comfortable there, while he is SLEEPING no less. I have decided to get the police involved. I will no longer tolerate your unruly behaviour," Owl says.
I feel the air leave my lungs in a whoosh and I slump against the wall. "He- he was in my apartment?" I mumble. I can feel the blood leave my face and a cold sweat breaks out in the nape of my neck. "That- that man was- was in my a- apartment?" I say louder this time. The volume gives me strength. I don't know what comes over me, but I shove past Sei and leap straight at the Rhino. My hands reaching for his throat.
I would have made it too, if it hadn't been for strong arms coiling around my waist. The fury in me explodes out ward, since I cannot physically reach him I try to reach him with my words.
"You FUCKING sick bastard! Who the bloody hell do you think you are, coming into my apartment? You make me SICK!" I bellow as I struggle against Sei.
I wish so badly to have my fist collide with his fat face, but a flurry of movement catches my attention and the whole room draws a collective breath as Tetsu slams his fist into the Rhinos face.
