(Karsten)
Arata had texted Azul and I knew she wanted to complain about me. I was driving so I couldn't reply to her. I could have later but I wanted to apologise first as Karsten so she wouldn't butcher me to my alter ego.
Entering her office, I felt like a subject approaching my queen and asking for forgiveness.
Under no circumstances would I ever apologise to an employee or let them treat me like Arata did. But she was different, and like the sun, she had pulled me into her orbit.
Consciously and unconsciously.
She took her time, letting me know with her words and expressions that she was more than pissed at me.
My Blue Rose challenged me with her eyes but I remained steadfast.
She mellowed the most when I said that I had brought something so we could eat.
"What? I will only forgive you if you will share with me one item of my choice daily."
