Kori Anders sighed as she rolled over in bed
"I am not ready to deal with the day." she said from under her pillow.
Knowing that she really needed to get up Kori groaned, rolled out of bed and shuffled to her bathroom to take a shower. Her morning showers seemed to be her time to reflect on life but lately the only thing that has entered her mind are thoughts of a certain man named Richard Grayson. Kori groaned and thumped her head against the wall as his name entered her brain.
"What's the matter with you?" She muttered to herself. "He is your boss and relies on you and the fact that you're not supposed to have feelings for him."
How could she not feel something for the man though. Richard has been her friend for most of her life and he is absolutely amazing. He has silky ink black hair that Kori would love to run her fingers through. The most beautiful cerulean eye colour that she could just lose herself in and whenever they locked eyes she felt as if he were looking into her soul. His smile lit up her world when he would actually grace her with one. That man was way too serious but I guess if you ran a multibillion dollar company you would be too. He had a body that the gods would be jealous of and as Kori thought of his marvellous body she also realized that she was going to be late and quickly finished her shower. When she got out of the shower she stood in front of the mirror and took stock. Her emerald green eyes seemed as bright and shiny as her flaming red hair. She loved wearing her hair down because it seemed to compliment her heart shape face perfectly, but Richard had thought that it would be more professional pulled back. Kori started the task of getting ready for work as his secretary. She applied a little blush and mascara to her face and pulled her hair into a sophisticated bun. Accepting her appearance she rushed into her room to get dressed. She pulled on some stockings over her long, tan legs and put on a tight black skirt that flared out at the end. Her top was a shade darker than her eyes and was tucked into her skirt. The last thing she put on was a pair of black heels. As Kori looked into the mirror she happened to look over at the clock and gasped as she saw the time. She grabbed her keys, jacket, phone, and purse as she rushed out the front door to her car and rushed to Richards house.
As Kori pulled up to Wayne manor she thought of all the fun she had with Richard here as kids. This was practically Kori's home seeing how her parents both perished when she was a child. She was born in a country somewhere in Europe called Tameran and when she lost her parents she was sent to live with her uncle Galfore in Gotham City. It was hard moving to a new country and learning a new language. In Kori's first day of school she was unmercifully teased until Richard stood up for her and took her under his wing. That was when she became his friend and eventually fell in love with him. Kori sighed and walked up to the front door. As she expected the door opened before she could knock and she smiled happily at the old white haired man she had come to think of as a grandfather.
"Good morning Alfred, how are you on this lovely morning?" She happily said to him.
"Even better now that my favourite ray of sunshine has arrived." he warmly replied to her which caused Kori to give him her signature beaming smile.
"Ah that's the smile that I love so much." Alfred said while smiling.
"Is Richard up yet?" Kori asked only to see Alfred's smile disappear.
Hesitantly he replied "Not yet Miss Kori but I will go and rouse him."
Kori smiled "oh nonsense Alfred, you go take a rest and I'll get his butt out of bed!" She exclaimed only to see her dear friend frown.
"I insist Miss Kori-" he said only to be cut off with a beaming smile and Kori giving him "The Look".
"Come on Alfred. I'm sure it's not that bad. I've seen it all over the years of doing this." she said to him and Alfred knew this was true.
He also knew that the person whom he had come to think of as his own family would be crushed if she went upstairs. He saw how Kori has looked at the young Master Dick and he silently cursed that boy. Before Alfred could protest Kori started guiding him through the house and to the kitchen.
"I could really use some of your delicious coffee Alfred. It has been so long and my coffee doesn't compare." She said with a wink.
Alfred knew what she was doing.
"Of course Miss Kori, have a seat in the living room and I will bring it to you but don't go wandering." he said sternly.
Kori just smiled and walked out of the room. As soon as she was out of eye shot she went up the stairs and through the many hallways to Richards room. Upon opening the door she realized why Alfred insisted on waking Richard.
