Gabriella was putting her coffee on her desk and organizing the paperwork that had come in for her while she was getting ready. She hated being late for anything. But she would be fine, so long as she stayed just a bit late to let herself catch up with everything that had come in while she was gone, or anything that got pushed back for her to do what she was late on.<br/><br/>When she heard the sound of her boss speaking behind her, the girl jumped and turned to look at him. "Yes, I'm sorry." She said, pushing her hair back from her face. "I slept in, it was a rough night." She told him. Usually, she didn't think anything should be used as an excuse, but she really didn't want him to think that she had been up all night partying. She didn't know enough people in the city to even think of that.<br/><br/>When his hand rested on her shoulder, the girl cleared her throat and looked at it for a second. Then, her eyes traveled up to his again. His eyes were fascinating.  She didn't even want to blink. But, she knew that she had to, it was rude.<br/><br/>"I was planning to stay until today's work was done." She told him softly. "If that is alright with you, Mister Xiv." She added.
