Her eyes widened at his comment, shocked that he dared think she would stoop to that level just to make herself feel better about being rejected. A blush appeared on her face, he left her speechless momentarily as she tired to think of a comeback though nothing came. She didn't really think too much about it since she thought she heard footsteps, she looked over in the direction when she saw someone and her eyes widened, her hand moved up to grab her purse instead of having it around her shoulder though she could already see her purse being gone. Angela stumbled when he moved her, looking up to Ulrich. She held onto her bag tightly, peeking around him to see the man. What was Ulrich doing? He was going to get punched by this guy, he seemed mad. Him getting hurt wasn't worth her bag that the thief would probably take anyway. She started to reach for his arm to pull him back, getting ready to ask Ulrich to step back, he didn't have to be a hero.

She stayed quiet when Ulrich was so demanding, it caught her off guard. Was he insane? This guy was already angry enough! She didn't understand how he was being so brave like this, it was on the verge of being called stupidity. Angela was shocked for the third time in the past five minutes when the thief just...backed off. Did he really listen to Ulrich? "How did you do that?" she murmured softly, still in awe as she looked up at him now after she was sure the thief was gone.

She looked at him, still surprised "That guy could've seriously hurt you, and you're worried about my purse being stolen?" she asked, looking over to her car for a moment before back to Ulrich. She blushed a bit when he simply smirked, giving her a little comment that occupied her thoughts while he walked away "Stupid jerk, you could've gotten hurt..." she murmured softly to herself though there was a light blush on her face since he had protected her. How was she suppose to get over him when he did things like this and still managed to act so cool? She would swear he was a demon in disguise, and she would hate to admit that she liked the way he acted like this. She knew no one else at work had seen him doing things like this, and it made her feel a little special. He really was a demon to make her feel this way.

-time skip-

Angela got to work pretty early, not being able to really sleep the night before. Ulrich had been on her mind ever since the rollercoaster of feelings she had been on Friday night. Of course, she hadn't told anyone about the events after they must've heard him turning her down. She walked to her desk, her hair was clipped back and she was wearing her normal work attire, black pants and a blouse which today was a little blue. She was currently turning on her computer, already beginning her work for the day though she couldn't help but glance to the clock every now and then, wondering when Ulrich would arrive (though she knew the time he usually did, she just was trying to pretend she hadn't spent some time watching his movements for little habits such as when he arrived/left work).

Angela let out a small sigh as she stood at her desk, she wasn't sure what to do with herself, she didn't want to do any kind of work at this exact moment though she began to push herself through it. She still continued to work as she let out a small sigh, she was so bored. She wanted to get something to drink. She checked the time, figuring she could get up to go get a drink of water before heading back to her desk. It wasn't like she had a bunch of work to do, it was very little than usual so she knew she had a bit of time to just stall around or do what she liked. She walked to the break room just to get a drink. She was already heading back to her desk as she drank it on the way. She passed by Ulrich's office and she stopped for a moment, wondering what she should do if she should do anything. She let out a small sigh, announcing her presence to him "I just wanted to say thank you again for my bag" she told him, her voice low since she didn't want the others to hear her conversation with him. It was their conversation after all, she didn't was rumors going around about them for others to hear.

Angela rolled her eyes at his reaction as she crossed her arms, setting her drink momentarily as she crossed her arms "What's with the smirk?" she asked, she's watched him before and caught the slight smirk. She didn't know what it was that she had said that made him scoff. She seemed a bit confused when he asked about her bag, shaking her head no "What's with those kinds of questions?" she wondered why he was just asking about criminal activity. It was such a formal question, she just didn't understand it being brought up. Who would ask such a thing? Still, she answered them despite her questioning the exact reason he brought them up "No, no one's been trying to steal my bag, and I don't really know about the criminal activity. I think one of the apartments below mine got robbed or something, I don't know, some cops were there but that was about it" she told him, trying to think back to exactly what had gone on though she basically tuned it out. That apartment below her's always had something going on involving cops, she honestly isn't sure how they haven't been kicked out yet. "Hey, why didn't you be a cop?" she asked. He was worried about criminal activity, and he stood up for her when a guy tried to steal her purse. A part of her thought he was in the wrong profession, he could be fighting crime like some superhero, but instead he was here typing away on a computer.

Angela was a bit intrigued at his vague answer "how?" she asked, but she had a feeling that he wouldn't tell her now that she had shown a bit of interest in what he had said. "Glad that the guy with an office job is patrolling the streets and keeping people like me safe" she joked before shaking her head "You should be careful, all the vigilante justice and things like that is good and all, but you can really get hurt. People are crazy" she warned him, she was more worried about his safety since he seemed to not care that much about his well-being. She wondered how Simon dealt with it all the time. She was getting ready to take her cup of water and just leave, but he stood and her attention was even taken by him. She couldn't help but laugh a bit, amused by his actions. Was he really worried about what the others would think of him? "Well, I don't really think it. It's pretty obvious with how you and Simon interact with each other. It's kinda cute" she told him, shaking her head as she uncrossed her arms "I don't know why you're so scared about telling everyone? Don't you think that you might be hurting Simon's feelings with keeping him a secret? He seems to genuinely care about you, and if you aren't careful then you might lose him to someone who wouldn't be embarrassed to tell his co-workers that he's in a relationship with a guy". She really did think Ulrich and Simon were in a relationship, and she had to admit they made a cute couple. Just because she has a crush on Ulrich didn't mean she had to automatically hate Simon just because they were dating each other, that was extremely petty and she didn't want to be one of those girls. She kinda pitied Simon in a way for sticking around Ulrich all this time. Who could put themselves through that every day? To be stuck to someone who didn't care enough about their feelings?

A smile appeared on her face as she rolled her eyes "sure, prove it then" she told him, not believing him. Honestly, she thought he was just going to pull out some photo of him and a girl, probably hugging or with his arm around her shoulders or her's on his waist, then she could retort that a photo didn't prove anything, and that was if he actually did anything. She was calling his bluff and expecting him to get annoyed and go back to his work. He never did it. Her eyes widened as she was kissed, she hadn't been expecting this. Her hands moved up to grip his shirt when she was pressed against the wall, unsure of what to do though she slowly closed her eyes and accepted what was happening. She knew she should've pushed him away as soon as his lips had grazed her's, but she hadn't. Her feelings took off when he kissed her, her heart was beating a whole lot quicker and her mind was foggy when trying to think about anything that wasn't Ulrich. She also realized she hated him a bit more and she was starting to pity herself like she had been Simon. She blushed heavily when he finally pulled away, and she slowly nodded her head. Didn't he realize what he did to her? He kissed her just to prove his point, but now her feelings wouldn't settle. She knew it was just to prove his sexuality, yet she just didn't wish it was that way. Why did he have to be such a good kisser? It took everything inside of her not to gently press her lips against him again and hope that they went back to kissing. "I can see that" she whispered softly, why wasn't she mad? She should be livid that he had suddenly kissed her without her permission, not to mention she'll probably be bombarded a couple hundred different times by other co-workers who were curious about their exact relations to each other. How was she suppose to explain he kissed her just to prove he wasn't gay? She didn't think anyone would believe that, especially since they had gone out to drinks after he had rejected her feelings.

Her grip on his shirt loosened as she tried to step back into her normal working mode. Stupid jerk, who did he think he was? Now she had to deal with the longing that was bound to come because she was now aware of how amazing he was at kissing and the way he would hold her when doing so, as well as how dominant he was since he had just taken the lead like that without asking. She would hate to admit that she wanted more, and just like that she was deep inside of this hole with nothing but her feelings for him "I need to get back to work" she told him as calmly as possible though she was pretty sure internally she'll be a wreck the rest of the day. She pushed away from him, being a bit frazzled as she walked back to her desk, forgetting her water in his cubicle.

Angela sat in her cubicle, still a blush on her face. A part of her wanted to run over and just slap him for what he had done. That Jerk! How could he just suddenly kiss her? Damn his lips of sugar to hell! For being so smart, he was such an idiot. She blushed a bit when women just started asking her questions, shaking her head as her response though she couldn't verbally respond to him. Her blush only increased at the thought of sleeping with him, shaking her head almost immediately again. She still couldn't bring down her heartbeat, where could she escape to that would mean no questions and quiet time? She was sure she would be followed into the bathroom, and she couldn't leave for lunch yet. Angela tried to focus on her work, beginning to type as she hoped people would just leave her alone to her thoughts. Couldn't he just maybe have Simon call and say they weren't dating. She definitely would've believed that, how come he just had ot kiss her and make her feelings feel like they were just going to explode? She forced her eyes to stay on the screen until all of them eventually left and she could put her head down to think about what had happened, there was still a blush on her face as she thought back to their kiss. She felt like a child being kissed by her crush instead of an adult, how could Ulrich make her feel this way? He was like everything she would've wanted at first glance, and she couldn't even go on an actual date with him, but he kisses her? She couldn't get her mind off of the loop, only putting half of her focus into her work which meant there might be a few errors. She'll go back and check later, but as long as it looked like she was doing a lot, she didn't care about a spelling or grammar mistake.

Angela was actually getting back into her work until she was called by her boss. She had been initially worried about someone being jealous enough to complain to her boss about annoyances in the workplace. She held back the sigh of relief that wanted to escape when she heard it was merely business. She didn't let her thoughts wander when she was being told about the house, even going on to write on a notepad about the important parts. What had surprised her the most was that it had to be Ulrich, and her stomach twisted a bit at the thought of sharing a room with him for the next couple of days. She pushed her hair back, unsure of where she would even start. She would have a whole lot of packing to do and she wasn't sure what to bring and what not to. Usually for going on for deals like this, she would dress up to all nines. A dress and heels, hair down and bright smiles, she'll actually try with her outfit instead of her every day usual style. She felt like the b*****d she called Ulrich would somehow deem that as her dressing up for him. The most sicking part, however, was that she felt like a bit of her was doing it for him. She knew she would get a bubbling feeling in her chest and a blush would spread across her cheeks all the way to her ears if he just so much as told her she looked good with her hair fully down. She didn't think he would, but could anyone get mad at her for thinking this way? She wasn't one of the girls who had fairytales and true love being shoved down her throat every single night, but maybe that was why she longed for it. She wanted to be a stupid cliche of a playful relationship, as bad as that sounded, but that was because she's never felt it before. Her high school dating wasn't good, she always ended up with frogs. Maybe that was why she crushed so hard on Ulrich, even if he was quiet at first glance and smug upon closer inspection. She liked those little teasings, even if it was her being teased.

Angel headed out as soon as she checked the time and realized she was leaving later than what she would've wanted. She hurried out of the office, she really needed to get packing right now and decide what she needed to take and what she needed to borrow from her sister-in-law to look nice. Some of the women were still looking at her after what Ulrich had done, and she hoped maybe going on this business trip would mean that it'll all settle down. She hurried out of the doors before she realized that this was a business trip with Ulrich. She wasn't sure if it would die down, or if it would intensify with their departure. God, how was it that she thought of the devil and he was always there? Angela ran past him, looking back at him for a moment as she finally slowed down. She was still embarrassed after kissing him, her heart already began to beat quicker as she just looked at him "Have you ever been there before?" she asked, referring to the town they would be going to. She just couldn't think of anything else to say that wouldn't make it awkward or would leave her even more embarrassed.
