"I quit." she shouted and threw the door shut with all the strength she possessed. The blond man inside was shocked for a minute, but recovered pretty quickly. He'd get her back anyway. He always got what he wanted. All Malfoys get what they want. But he'll have to deal with it later. Now he had a date with Natasha.
She was Illaria Mason. Draco Malfoys personal assistant. She was smart and unfortunately for Draco, honest and quite proud. How she looked? Her face was always hidden behind her glasses. She always wore her long, silky black hair in a tight ponytail. No make-up. Her clothes were sophisticated and didn't reveal much. Mostly black and dark colours. Why she decided to quit? You'll find out soon enough.
Illaria walked into her appartment. She let her bag fall on the floor and threw herself on the couch.
"What are you doing home so early?" her roommate asked. Kelly Ryan has been Illaria's roommate ever since they were 17. Kelly was the opposite of Illaria. She was not so smart, but she was chatty and sociable. A pretty blond girl with brilliant blue eyes.
"I quit." Illaria said.
"What?" Kelly asked. That wasn't so surprising.
"I quit. Again. I was fed up with lying for him. He's my boss, I know. But the guy has ten girlfriends and I have to be the one to keep him out of trouble. I was fed up with doing everything for him. Just because he's rich doesn't mean he doesn't have to work." Illaria shouted and breathed in and out heavily, like she's just been running.
" He really gets to you, doesn't he?" Kelly asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Illaria asked confused. Kelly just rolled her eyes and leaned back into the couch she was sitting on. Illaria worked there for three weeks now and this was already the third time she quit. The funny thing was that she was so mad at him every time, but he still somehow managed to get her back to work. So instead of bugging her best friend, Kelly decided to try and cheer her up.
"I'm going out tonight. Want to come?" she asked.
"I'm not in the mood. Besides I don't think I'm up to watching you licking some guys face off." Illaria said.
"Suit yourself." Kelly said and went to her room to choose an outfit. When she reached her door she looked back at her friend and saw her sitting deep in thought.
Illaria turned on the TV. Luckily Kelly was a Muggleborn and taught her the wonders of modern technology. The thing that Illaria liked the most was the TV. The damn thing was addictive. Kelly was always amused to see a pure-blood use Muggle technology.
"Hun, what do you think about this shirt?" Kelly asked holding up a red shirt.
"It's cute." was all Illaria said.
"Good enough." Kelly said and put it on.
"You really don't want to come?" Kelly tried again.
"No, hun. Go. Have fun. I'll just watch some TV." Illaria answered.
"Ok, I'll go pick up the rest then." Kelly said and with a last wave she apparated out of the apartment. Illaria switched some channels, but didn't really look at what was on. Her mind was elsewhere. She took a deep breath and walked over to the mirror.
"I'm not going back this time." she said to her reflection. Just as she uttered the words an owl tapped at her window. She looked at it and instantly recognised it as Draco's personal black owl.
