[Cassian spent his weekend in similar fashion - with his closest friends, lamenting about having received that text from Ben at all, because it didn't help the very secret attraction he held for the man that had sent it.
No, it wasn't technically against work regulations to have relationships, but at the very least, it could be a problem if Cassian ever got involved with anyone of a lower standing and the rumor got started that it was only because he'd promised them a leg up.
Not that he thought Ben would ever do such a thing.
Futilely, he wished that they'd met under better circumstances, one that didn't revolve around work.
He was still thinking about that text when he arrived in office on Monday morning and found his usual coffee and pastry waiting.
Ben.
He tried to ignore the flutter in his stomach as he headed toward Ben's office to talk. He knocked, announcing his presence, and then poked his head inside.]

But for future reference, I'd check to make sure your text is going to the right recipient, Ben.

Oh shit oh shit oh shit!

You're a wonderful assistant, Ben. I would hate to lose you.

I meant to send it to my friend in the Air Force.

Just be careful, that's all.

It's okay to look, you know. Attraction is a natural part of life.
But there is a line we don't cross here, and that's getting involved with co-workers. Especially when one is in a position of power over the other.
I know you know that.
no subject
You are my superior. I would never want you to be accused of taking advantage of me because of our positions.
no subject
You should know that I would never take advantage of you in that way. I respect you too much for it - I value our working relationship so much.
I'd hate to do anything that would jeopardize that.
no subject
Have a good rest of your weekend. I will see you on Monday.
no subject
Thank you, I'll do my best. You have a good one, too.

The whiskey helped.
Ben was back in the office early Monday morning. He had Cassian's usual reports on his desk, along with his usual coffee and pastry.
He was sitting at his own desk, going over the expense reports of those who reported to Cassian.]

Hey, Ben. Can we talk for a moment?
no subject
Of course sir.
[He was going to pretend that he hadn't sent that text, that he didn't admit to wanting his boss to bend him over and fuck him senseless.
Poe was right, he did need to get laid.]
