Summary
She supposed it had been flattering, the way that one of the hosts she’d spoken to had tried to offer her a job, telling her that “a handsome guy like you would draw in customers no problem!” It had warmed her to hear that her disguise was working, and she’d had to fight a small smile from spreading and ruining her professionalism for about an hour.
There had been a sweet drunk woman, too, throwing an arm around Naoto’s shoulders and trying to coax her into joining her and her friends’ bar crawl. She’d tensed up at the sudden contact, but it had certainly been a novel experience having a woman give him her number assuming he- she- was a man. Even though Naoto was pretty definitively not single, it was still quite fun to know that she made an attractive man.
