"Mind getting some medicine for me?"

Joy, puzzled, asked, "If you're feeling under the weather, why not just hit up a clinic?"

Typical, cutting straight to the chase.

Austin replied, "How about you drive me to the clinic then?"

Joy muttered under her breath, thinking a small cough wasn't enough to hinder driving, and here was this grown man asking for a ride. But she kept those thoughts to herself. "Alright, fine."

"Give me a sec then," Austin said, grabbing his jacket and heading downstairs with her.

The guy glanced over at Austin from afar, offering a knowing smile. The boss, after all.

"Oh, right!" Joy smacked her forehead and went back to retrieve her bag left in the car.

As they got into the vehicle, Austin casually asked, "Boyfriend?"
