Ayano was just staring at Kazuma while the latter was asking. "Ayano….?!" He said loudly.

Snapping out of her dreamy state , she said,"Uh ? Whats worng? "

"Who's the boy?"

"The boy? Oh ? he ?" she turned back and looked at Ken who was himself confused as what to say.

"He is, uh, well a friend of mine."

"What's he doing so early in the morning?"

"He's Ken. He works with me, he came over last night and slept off here."

'SLEPT OFF? WHAT SHOULD THAT MEAN?' Kazuma's eyes almost popped out of his skull when he heard these words.

He immediately took Ayano aside and asked, "What do you mean he slept off? You live alone in this house and you allow a guy to spend a night in your house?!"

"What's wrong in that?"

"You don't know what he may have in his head".

"Hey, now there's nothing to fear. He's a sweet guy. And above all he's a good friend of mine. He wont even think about it" Ayano laughed away.

"But…."

"No buts, I'll be late, he will be late. Do us a favor and drop us to the office" before Kazuma could finish Ayano smiled at him and locked her door.

When Kazuma was driving the car , a million questions were buzzing into his head.

'Since when did they become so close? '

'Why didn't I ever see her before with this Ken?'

And so on…with the final question being, 'Why the hell is this driving me crazy?!'

When they reached the office, Kazuma went to his office and from there he could see both of them giggling and laughing together till they reach the Room for Recruitment and Documentation.

All throughout the day Kazuma couldn't concentrate on his work, all that he was thinking was about Ayano and Ken when he saw a pair of beautiful legs walking towards the water cooler. He realized it was Ayano, he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he never realized what Ayano was wearing. The skirt she was wearing today was quite short and tight and he could make out each and every curve of hers.

He got up from his seat and went to her. He whispered to her softly,"Don't you think your skirt is just too tiny. "

Ayano looked down and realized her skirt was just till her mid-thigh, "Umm…yeah, I think I wore the wrong skirt , it wasn't meant for office. I woke up in such a hurry that I put on whatever I saw in front of me. "

From the corner of his eye, he could see Ken staring at Ayano right from her waist to her angles taking in each bountiful sight he's getting. Nothing worse than this could have infuriated Kazuma.

"Ken's having a wonderful time there." Kazuma said.

"Yeah he kind of likes his new job. "Ayano said gulping up the water .

"When there's someone like you, anyone would like their new job, "so saying Kazuma went away making a scornful face.

"What's wrong with him?" Ayano thought to herself.
