BILLIONAIRE SCIENTIST & HIS NEW SECRETARY
PROLOGUE
The idea of Tortall in a modern context is taken unabashedly and admiringly from the fic "Modern". The fic that no doubt, started a different kind of genre of Tortall fan fiction.
I just decided to take the idea and go overboard with fluffiness with a sprinkle of plot... as shown with my extremely corny title...
Italics between ' ' are thoughts. So... 'I am thinking, think think think! These words are thoughts in my head... HUA HUA HUA'
This fic, is of course, set in a modern era, as in, now now the present. In a country, I do not care to specify, except take it that it has a westernised culture. High Society is a magazine something like the Tattler...

HIGH SOCIETY: GOSSIP COLUMN
Dear Readers,
TortallInc is officially now one of the hottest new places to work at! All you single women out there better brush up your secretarial skills for hunky Numair Salmalin is out looking for a secretary! This particular secretarial post was evacuated when Numair recently fired his secretary for interupting one of his experiments.
I admit, dear readers, that this column is not a job advertising section, but with Numair Salmalin involved, this makes the news instant juicy gossip tidbit! Numair Salmalin is more famously known for being the driving brain and mind behind Tortall Inc. His numerous inventions had made Tortall Inc the multi-national conglomerate it is today. (Not forgetting the hard work of gorgeous CEO Jonathan Conte as well)
This humble writer wonders what qualities Numair Salmalin would look for in his new secretary. If he mixes business with pleasure, it is no doubt his secretary would have to be well-groomed, blonde and voluptous.
However! It is notorious that Numair tends to be lost in his own world when he works. So no matter how much an eye candy his secretary may be, she must be organised and efficient. Helping him keep track of the numerous social and work appointments he has. (One wonders if she would help him keep track of his paramours as well.)
Ah dear readers... We send our heartiest congratulations to the lucky woman who gets the post! Be assured that this hardworking writer will update you on any new scintillating information.

"Odd's bobs!" a young woman of 24 years old exclaimed, after she had finished reading the Gossip Column. "And to think that's the man I am going to have to work for!"
'Now I wish I didn't bother to read the column that Miri had shoved into my hands before I left for my first day of work,' the woman sighed, pushing a strand of her smoky brown hair behind her ear. Her blue-grey eyes blinked nervously through her chunky black-rimmed spectacles.
She clutched her bag and took a deep breath, thinking, 'Onua from the HR Department would not have hired me as Mr Salmalin's secretary if she didn't think I was competent. Besides, this is an excellent work opportunity and I can't go back to where I came from... I'm lucky Onua didn't find out about my past... Nobody would ever hire me if they did...'
Veralidaine Sarrasri quickly pushed the looming dark thoughts aside and pushed open the doors of Tortall Inc.

Hope you liked it. Perhaps more to come, see how. I still have "What If" to finish. I admit, I'm losing inspiration or drive to write or complete the fics. Simply because TP, in my own personal opinion, went a bit downhill with her new books and I feel less inspired to write... I look at her future books and know I'm not going to be reading much of her works in the future... Haiz... BUT... Her Trickster's Series does show new hope and HOORRAYYYY, D & N finally gets hitched! applauds
