Chapter One: The Boss' Daughter

.x.

Every morning I woke up to the same goddess forsaken sound of my fucking alarm clock. I get up at the same time, 6:15 a. take a 20 minute shower, eat breakfast, get dressed and leave for work by 7:15 a. I went to the same shitty job every day. I worked in a business office building in the heart of Hyrule City, capital of Hyrule. My boss, Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule, was a fat fuck face who pissed me off every day. He looks down on his workers because he has become rotten from the amount of riches and fame he has. His ancestors are the ones who discovered Hyrule, and started most of the major business with in it.

I got in my car and checked the time, which took me by surprise. It read 7:05 a.m., which meant maybe for once I wouldn't be late. I started my small silver 2005 Kia, and pulled out of my apartment complex. I turned on the radio, but was disgusted by what they chose to play. Navi Light's song, Navilcious was playing through my speakers, which made me wonder why they were even playing this shitty song. It wasn't 2006 anymore, but then again, the more common music of today isn't any better. I sighed and flipped to the radio talk show Honest Hyrule.

"Well, Malon, tell us what is going on in the news today." The first host asked.

"Can do, Saria. Well everyone, it is official. Rauru Daphnes Hyrule is now engaged to the woman he has been seeing for the past few months." Malon announced. I rolled my eyes, like anyone actually gave a damn about that. "Rauru and his hottie, pop star Navi Lights got engaged last night at the party Daphnes Hyrule had thrown to celebrate his son's 25th birthday. It is unknown when and where the wedding will be." I shut off the radio and pulled into work.

I walked into the building, while putting my black tie on. I bid the receptionist a good morning and made my way over to the elevators. Somehow, I managed to get a lucky break and I work on the highest level of business deals. I punched in the button for floor 45 and waited for the door to close. It slowly started to shut, but I saw a blonde young lady running trying to catch it before it left. I stuck my foot in the door, causing it to open up for her. She flew herself inside, panting from exhausting.

"Can..you..press the button..for floor 45..?" She asked me while out of breath.

"I already did." I responded. She sent me a confused look, and slightly worried that I might be following her. "That's where I'm heading too, young lady. Don't get all freaked out." I told her, knocking her off of her high horse. I analyzed her face, which seemed oddly familiar. She had big bright sapphire blue eyes, and long blonde hair. She was a bit shorter than me, and also looked rather young. I looked away and decided to stop focusing on her before she started to think I was following her.

We reached the top floor, and the elevator dinged at it opened. A couple of my co-workers greeted me and I waved hello back. I walked over to my usual desk and began the same boring work I did every day. Taking calls, filling out papers, then copying and filing those papers. Some of the secretaries would stop by every now and then to chat about the social events I should be attending. I just sat there and listened to them, it was usually best not to argue with them.

"Link, Daphnes would like to speak with you." said Cremia, Daphnes assistant. I got up and followed her to his lair of doom, dreading whatever was about to happen.

"Ah, Link. Take a seat, would you." I gulped and placed my butt in the chair he pointed to. "Right then," he started "I called you hear because my daughter, Zelda, told me you stopped the elevator for her earlier, is this true?" He asked me while pointing up at her.

"Yes sir." I nodded at him. I saw him smile, a creepy smile, but also a good sign.

"Wonderful. My office needs more people like you, Link. Kind, but hard workers. Now, I know I always pick on you and give you a lot of crap, but I believe that it has made you one of my best workers, wouldn't you agree?" He asked. I just nodded, I really wasn't sure what to say.

"Excellent, this means I can trust you with this next task." He said confidently while leaning back in his large black chair. He coughed slightly. "My daughter, Zelda, is only 17 and I believe is in need of a care taker." Oh fuck. Hell no, there was no fucking way I was watching a snot nosed brat. I looked up at her, and saw her smile warmly at me. This had to have been her idea, but why?

He cleared his throat before continuing, "I know this is out of the blue, but out of all my top workers you are the only one I can seem to trust since you get stuff done. That is why I am asking this of you. I wouldn't ask you if I didn't think you could handle it." He said, looking me straight in the eyes with his piecing grey spheres. I could feel a sweat breaking out around my neck.

"What would this require me to do, sir?" I asked. I was rather curious as to what I would have to be doing, because it isn't like I can say no. If I did, chances are I would lose my job.

"Well, I just need someone to keep her entertained. I will pay for all of the expenses and even give you a $500 dollar raise." I felt my eyes bulge a little at his offering, which he seemed to notice because he smirked. "Do we have a deal, Mr. Katsuo?" He folded his arms, and continued to eye me down.

"Yes, Mr. Hyrule, we do." I answered him. My eyes shifted between the two of them. He smiled and nodded, then motioned for me to return to work. I got up and headed towards the door only to be stopped by his words again.

"Also, Mr. Katsuo, this will require you to make an appearance at all my social events. Make sure to dress sharp." He said. I nodded and thanked him and left the room.

Well, fuck. I cornered myself into the Hyrule family's lies and traps. My life was officially over. I walked back to my desk and rested my head against the cold hard wood for a minute. My mind was racing with thoughts consisting of 'Why did it have to be me?' or 'What if I fuck up and get fired?' Fuck my life.

The rest of the day went by at a turtle speed. Cremia had stopped by my desk a couple of times giving me numbers, addresses, and information regarding Zelda and Daphnes Hyrule. I had Zelda's cellphone number, Daphnes' cellphone number, and their home phone number, both of their emails, their house address, and Zelda's medical record. What did I get myself into? Babysitting a fucking kid, that's what. All because my greedy ass wanted that pay raise he offered me.

I left the building around 5:30 p. and began heading for my car when I got a text message from someone. I pulled my android out of my pocket and checked it and groaned. Of fucking course it is from Zelda, and of fucking course she wants to go get something to eat since the rest of her family was busy tonight. I sighed and texted her back telling her to meet me in the front lobby.

I waited a couple of minutes before the blonde emerged from behind the elevator and walked over to me. She gave me a really big smile, and I just raised my eyebrow at her. When she noticed I was questioning her actions, she just awkwardly starred at me.

"Are you going to tell me why all of this came up so suddenly?" I poked the question at her. I noticed her face had started turning a light shade of pink as she glanced down at the ground. I rolled my eyes. Whatever, it didn't really matter. "Come on, let's go. Where do you want to eat at?" I asked. She looked back up and me and smiled again.

"Olive Garden would be nice." Her voice chimed like soft bells in the wind. I nodded and the two of us headed out to my car.

This is an edited version of the original chapter 1. I am working on re vamping the story to make it flow so much more smoothly with one another since there were rather large gaps in between updates for a lot of the chapters.

Thank you for your patience!

Till next time…
