Robin sat up, her pen cap clutched in her fingers. She was blushing. "R-Really?" she stammered.

"Of course! You're funny and smart and dedicated! A great assistant!", he exclaimed.

She blushed harder, unused to such compliments. "Thank you, Mr. Whittaker," she replied shyly.

"Of course. Just giving positive feedback when needed." He shrugged it off. Was she blushing?

Robin let out a short breath and put the cap back on her pen. She read a new email and a brief look flickered across her face. "I forgot about that…" she muttered and clicked around before typing again.

"What is it?", he asks. He stands up and comes over to look at it.

She blinked, then showed him a huge spreadsheet. "It's kind of hard to explain…"

"Huh.", he said thinking. It was impressive.

"Yeah…" She clicked on some of the cells and typed in different numbers. Whole sequences added up and she work with those then.

"Are those dates and times?", he asked her.

"Some of them," she replied absently. She transferred part of the chart to a Word document and began to type more below it.

"Wow! You're quite the app smasher!", he said, interested.

She blushed lightly. "It's really nothing… Once you understand it, it's easy."

"Could you teach me? That would be very helpful.", Isaac asked her.

She looked incredibly surprised at his request. "Really?– sir?"

"Yes. Why not?… I mean, if you don't want to-" He was a little surprised by her reaction, not meaning to annoy her that much.

"No, no, I… I'm just surprised you asked, that's all," she replied.

Why was she surprised? Oh well. "Sorry." He apologized for surprising her.

"It's fine." Robin briefly composed herself and started to show him the fundamentals of the program.

He took careful not of everything she did. Every so often he'd say something like, "Nice!" or "What?".

"That's pretty much the basics," she finished. "Like I said, the more familiar you are with the program and the more you use it, the easier it is."

"Thank you! You're so smart! Well, I'd better go to work. See you!", he waved to her and left.

Robin stared after him. That was… unusual. She tried to shrug it off as she went back to her own work. Besides, it was her imagination giving her a hard time… wasn't it?
(Time skip?)

Isaac was sitting at his office, messaging one of his workers.

Robin knocked on the door. Her pen cap was tucked behind her ear, forgotten in her hurry.

"Come on in!"
When she came in he said, "You're pen cap is behind your ear again."

Robin blinked and reached up. "Oh…" She did her best to restrict her blush. "Uh, your meeting with Warner Bros. is in an hour, sir."
