Chapter 7
Office Rumor
A few days after "Team Leo's" first meeting, Lucy was having lunch with Levy and Cana when the conversation turned to her selection for the special team.
"So," Levy said in excitement, "the Loke Leo has noticed your work."
"And?" Cana asked, drinking a can of beer she brought with her from home. "Spill it, girl."
Lucy swallowed down her sandwich. "Spill what?"
"I want to hear about Mr. Leo. What's it like?"
"What's … it … like?" Lucy felt the blood drain from her face. Spill? What's it like? Did Cana somehow know about their night together? "N-no, that … it's … There's nothing to that!"
"Huh?" Cana set her beer down. "Why are you so flustered? I'm talking about the presentation you're doing for the GMG account. I heard that this Team Leo was handpicked, the best of the best. I bet you guys will come up with something awesome, right?"
"Oh," Lucy said, suddenly relieved. So that was what she meant! Lucy had let her imagination get the best of her for a moment. Luckily, neither Cana not Levy heard her soft sigh of relief.
Levy grabbed her arms from across the table. "You're excited, I can tell. Like Natsu says, you're all fired up."
"Yeah," Lucy admitted. "You know, at first I was just surprised, but the fact that I was chosen makes me want to really give it everything I've got. This is my chance to work with Mr. Leo, after all, and it's for such a prestigious event, something global."
"Uh-huh," Cana said with a sly smirk. "Is that really all?"
Lucy felt anxiety all over again. "What do you mean?"
"I get the feeling that it isn't just the fact that it's the Grand Magic Games that has you fired up."
Lucy was stunned that Cana had picked up on how happy she was to be working with Loke for an entirely different reason.
Lucy laughed awkwardly. "Yeah, right. I'm just psyched to be working on something for the Grand Magic Games."
"Well, sure," Levy said. "The GMG is one of the world's biggest events, our kingdom is hosting it, and you are working on the commercial the nation will be airing for it. If this goes well, there could be a promotion on the horizon."
"A promotion?" Lucy asked. "For whom?"
"You, obviously," Cana shouted out.
Lucy was shocked. She had not thought about that at all and was not sure how she felt about the idea.
"Ehh … I don't know. I like having my work recognized, but I don't want to be in management. I want to make commercials that touch people."
Cana let out a flustered exhale. "You're so unambitious. I'll bet you all of those guys are thinking about how this will boost their careers."
"Oh, hey," Levy piped in before Cana got brusque about Lucy's love for her job and no desire for something with more pay. "Have you heard the rumor about Mr. Leo?"
Lucy was glad to talk about him and not her lack of desire for vertical movement in the company. "What rumor?"
"Well, Cana told me only a little."
Cana gulped her beer. "Yeah, apparently not many people know this, so I don't know all the details, only what I heard." She dropped her voice so low, Levy and Lucy had to lean in to hear. "My boy told me … Mr. Leo is engaged."
Lucy froze, and for a few seconds her heart plummeted. "What?" she whispered.
By my boy, Cana obviously meant the man she was having an affair with. He was high up in management and held a close position to Loke, which meant this was not just some random wild guess from banter in the ladies' restroom. It was fairly legit intel on Loke himself.
That meant, rumor or not, it definitely could be true.
"He has a fiancée," Lucy muttered in numbed shock.
"I don't have any details," Cana said, still keeping her voice low, "but apparently someone here saw him going for a drive with a drop-dead gorgeous woman, holding her arm and everything, like they were on a date."
"Oh, I heard that rumor," Levy piped in. Lucy had not, but she had been too busy with work to bother with gossip.
"So, I asked my boy about it, and he said it was the woman he was engaged to."
"O-oh … wow."
A date … a fiancée…
Lucy recalled at the bar on their last meeting there, Loke said, "I felt an attraction to you in that moment that left no room for remembering that I'm your boss, and you're my employee."
He said something like that, yet he was engaged. He slept with her that night, and he had a fiancée. What sort of man did that?
"What do you suppose she's like?" Cana wondered.
Lucy jolted out of her dark thoughts. "Huh? Who?"
Cana scoffed. "Weren't you listening?"
Levy looked concerned. "You're a little spacey lately. Are you feeling okay?"
"Mr. Leo's fiancée!" Cana mused, gazing up as she tried to picture it. "I wonder what kind of person she is. She'd have to be of high status, of course, a refined lady, and people already say she's drop-dead gorgeous. Mr. Leo wouldn't settled for anyone less."
Lucy wondered about that. After all, he had slept with her, and she was nothing special, not rich nor refined, and although she put some time into her makeup and hair, she knew plenty of women prettier than her. She did not feel like talking about this subject. Levy seemed to realize something was wrong, but Cana did not pick up on it at all. She leaned forward excitedly.
"I know! You should casually bring it up, get some info out of him. I bet you're the only one who could do that. You're the sole woman on Team Leo, after all."
Lucy shuddered at even the idea of it. "N-no way. We only talk about work."
That was not really true; they had talked late into the night about many things that last time at the bar. She hated lying to Levy and Cana, but there was no way she could tell them the truth.
"No more apologizing and no more worrying about that night." That was what Loke had said. Lucy was not going to regret that it happened anymore, nor was she going to worry about it. Loke did not regret it or think it was a mistake, so she shouldn't either. Besides, the fiancée had nothing to do with her. That was Loke's personal business. She had no reason to be jealous or feel guilty about it.
At least, she shouldn't … yet Lucy felt her heart growing heavier.
Cana sighed. "And here I thought he was happy to be a wealthy bachelor. Guess he's getting more action than I thought, huh?"
"Don't ask me," Lucy snapped. "I only know Mr. Leo, the Creative Director. It'd be improper to think about my boss' love life." She knew that was hypocritical of her, considering she had become part of Loke's love life, if only for one night.
"You're so dull, Lucy. But fine, if it's weird for you to think about him banging in bed."
"Cana!" Memories flooded into her mind, Loke above her, the feel of his cock thrusting into her, a vague sense of riding on top of him, and the feeling of exhaustion as she fell asleep in his arms. If only she could truly remember it all.
"Still," Cana went on, chuckling at riling her up into a blush, "he's good at his job, he's engaged to be married, and now this GMG account. Do you think he's extra motivated to do well professionally because he has that woman around to impress?"
"Extra motivated?" Lucy asked. Loke had definitely seemed energized about his work during their meetings, but she had never seen him in action before to know if that was normal or something extra. "Do you think so?"
"Well, sure! He's in line for a promotion."
"Oh, I've heard that rumor," said Levy. "They might make him a partner in the company. That'd make him the youngest partner in Fairy Tail's history. They say the CEO speaks with him directly."
Lucy nodded, also having heard that particular rumor. "That's how impressive Mr. Leo's contributions to Fairy Tail are."
Cana added, "If you win the account, Mr. Leo will definitely get that promotion."
Considering all Lucy had heard about him during their meeting that week, how he must have done a lot of work just to convince the officials in Crocus to open up the account and take into consideration agencies outside of Sabertooth, he more than earned a promotion, even to being a partner in the company.
A promotion like that was probably very important to him. Lucy was happy with her current job, but Loke had such an ambitious smile during their meeting. He was the sort of man motivated enough to really end up somewhere important.
Levy, Cana, and Lucy turned the conversation away from workplace rumors and to a show all three watched. They spent the rest of lunch talking about nothing special, and Lucy tried to shove aside the nagging ache in her heart at the idea that Loke slept with her when he might be engaged to some refined lady.
