Hey again, so here is the next chapter of my story. I intend to make this quite a long story, so I'm going to try not to rush things. I hope you like it!

The Job
Seto
Eventually I managed to drag Mokuba away from the party and bundle him into the limo so that we could go home. It was 1:30am when we left! He was so tired that he fell asleep during the drive home. He looked so sweet lying there. His long eyelashes sweeping down to brush the skin below his eyes, his black hair tousled and messed up but undeniably cute, his small figure curled up on the seat and his tiny chest rising and falling as he breathed. I smiled at him and reached over to ruffle his already messed up hair. Gently so as not to wake him I picked him up and carried him into the house and up to his room, where I lay him in bed and pulled the covers over him. Still smiling I dropped a kiss onto his forehead and left his room, shutting the door behind me.
I made my way to my own room, got changed and climbed into my double bed. I closed my eyes and let recollections and memories of the day flash and play in my mind, like my own private cinema. Smiling, I took a deep breath and relaxed my body and allowed my mind to wander as slowly, I sunk into a deep sleep.
I woke up with a start at the sound of my alarm clock, penetrating through the otherwise, silence. Quickly, I turned it off so as not to disturb Mokuba, who would still be sleeping. I glanced at the clock on my bedside table. 6:00. I slipped out of bed and pulled on my clothes, a black t-shirt, black trousers and my famous trench coat and then I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair. 5 minutes later I re-emerged and scribbled a quick note to Mokuba, who was still sound asleep.
Have gone to Kaibacorp to sort out two new employees, and work on the latest duel disk will be back at 5:00 pm, I have told the chefs to cook you breakfast whenever you wake up, see you later.

I left it on his bedside table and stealing a glance at the still sleeping boy, I turned and left with a swish of my coat tails.

The sun broke through my curtains, sending beams of light across the room, they fell onto my face, disrupting my sleep, I blinked and yawned, as I sat up, it took me a few seconds to realise what had happened last night. The party! I grinned to myself and glanced at my clock. It read 7:30. Oh sh*t! I was going to be late! It was my first day at my new job! I jumped up and yanked a top over my head and pulled a skirt on. Running into the bathroom, I scrubbed at my teeth and yanked a brush through my hair. Cursing under my breath, I grabbed my mascara and quickly applied a coat before fumbling with my lip-gloss and hurriedly applying it. I quickly slipped into shoes, grabbed a jacket and ran out of the house.
I made it to the doors just in time, and straightened up before walking in and sitting down at reception as I had been instructed. There was another girl there, she looked about the same age as me and had medium length ginger hair, drawn back into a ponytail and green eyes.
"Hello!" I said softly taking the seat next to her. She smiled back at me.
"Hi!" She replied. "I'm Gabby!"
"Ellie." I replied. "So, I guess you're here for the new job as well?"
"Yep!" She answered. "I hear the boss is quite handsome!"
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah, he's supposed to be quite mysterious but incredibly handsome and intelligent at the same time!" She smiled.
"Oooooh, sounds like my kind of guy!" I giggled back. She giggled too and we exchanged a knowing look.
Suddenly a door swung open and we stopped laughing immediately. A silhouette appeared in the doorway and made its way towards us. We stood up and waited for him to near us. As he walked up to us my eyes widened. It was the jerk from the party. The one who kept staring at me. I saw a flicker of recognition in his eyes, and then it was gone as he came to a halt and looked us up and down.
"So, you two are the new employees then?" He looked at us emotionless. I felt rather than heard Gabby giggle and smile. She was obviously in no position to answer. I nodded. He looked at me blankly and his eyes seemed to freeze all they touched. I shivered.
He led us over to the main desk where he tapped into a computer before looking up at us.
"You're Eleanor?" he asked me. I nodded, surprised that he had remembered my name. "Last name?" He spoke not looking up from the screen.
"Conway." I answered. He typed my details into the computer.
"Date of birth?" He questioned.
"11th May 1995" I prompted. He froze at this, but only for a second and then he entered it into the computer. He nodded to Gabby.
"And your name?" He asked.
"A-abigail, Abigail R-reed." She stuttered. He frowned at her stutter but typed into the computer.
"Date of birth?" He asked again.
"Umm, 17th June 1996" She managed to say, blushing beetroot. He raised his eyebrows, obviously used to this kind of behaviour. He then turned to face us.
"Right then. Abigail you will be working with the new duel disk that we are developing, Eleanor, you will be my personal assistant." He informed us. Gabby shot me a jealous look. I shrugged back. He gestured for Gabby to follow and for me to stay put. I did just that and 5 minutes later he reappeared, without Gabby. He walked over to me and signalled for me to sit down. He took the chair opposite me.
"Right then. Since you are my new personal assistant there are some rules that you shall need to follow." I nodded and listened.
"First of, you must be on time every day. You will work during the times allocated and break only for the times allowed. You will not disturb me unless in an emergency or if you have received my permission via the intercom. You will do whatever I tell you without question. You will not answer back or raise your voice to me. Break any of these rules and you will be fired. Do you understand?" He more stated than asked.
"I understand" I nodded.
"Good!" He replied sharply before leading me towards a desk at the entrance to the building. "This is your desk, you can complete paperwork do anything work related here but no eating or inappropriate behaviour." He looked at me for confirmation that I had understood, I nodded. " You also have to be my receptionist, if anyone comes in, you must ask them what they want and if you are not sure ask me through the intercom." He gestured to the device on my desk. "Understand?" I nodded. "Then you can start right away!" He said and handed me a stack of paper work. "I expect it all done by one o'clock. I have a different job for you after that." I sat down at the desk and pulled out a pen. He turned and left me and I got on with the mountain of paperwork I had to complete. Apart from the huge stack of paperwork, he didn't seem to be quite as bad as I had first thought!

I went straight to my office and pulled out my laptop and started to work on the new duel disk. At 7:30 I headed out of my office to meet the new workers. I was shocked to find one of them was the girl from the party last night, Ellie! I caught myself and quickly covered my surprise as I lead them over to a desk to fill in their details. I asked her, her name and she answered but when she gave me her birthday, I froze; it was exactly one day after mine. The 10th May 1995. I hastily typed it into the computer and them moved on to the girl next to her and filled in her details. She stuttered and blushed. I sighed inwardly; those types of girls really annoyed me. I then led Abigail to her desk and left her in the hands of one of my senior employees. Then I returned to Ellie, I mean Eleanor. I explained to her the work she had to do and the rules and left her to get on with some paperwork. I was still unsure if She was going to be My new assistant or if I was just confused or dreaming. She was probably a girly girl like Abigail, I preferred fiery girls who weren't easily intimidated. Yes, she's probably really annoying. It was going to be hard working with her! I sighed and settled down with my own work.
Later that morning my intercom buzzed and her voice floated smoothly through the air to my ears. I shivered slightly at the sound and then caught myself and rubbed my arms to warm myself up. That was why I was shivering. I was cold.
"There's someone here to see you." She said.
"Name?" I asked.
"He says he's called Mr Nerwin" She replied.
"Send him in." I told her. Mr Nerwin was my business partner for the latest duel disk. He was straight talking and decisive. He had no time for small talk. That was what I liked in a business partner. He was someone I could get on with easily. The door clicked open and he walked in. He was 6 foot tall and had straight black/brown hair and grey eyes. He walked up to my desk and sat down. I pressed the button for the intercom and spoke to her. "Come in and bring a notepad and pen," I told her. She did so and in fifteen seconds she was seated next to me and ready. "I want you to take notes." I told her. She nodded and opened her pad.
We discussed the business for the duel disk and the holographic technology. Half an hour later he stood up and shook my hand and left. After the door closed, I turned to her. She was still scribbling. Getting down the last of the conversation. She finished and put the pen down. She handed me the notepad and I smiled at her neat handwriting. It was much easier to read than some of the other assistants' I'd had before. She seemed to be doing a good job so far. I flipped the book shut and lifted my head to speak.
"Have you finished the paperwork yet?" I asked her. She bit her lip. Her teeth sucked her bottom lip into her mouth before it popped out again and turned from a light pink to the red/pink that her lips were naturally. Wait, why was I thinking about her lips? Its not like they were anything special anyway! Just, normal! I drew my gaze from them and waited for her reply.
"Nearly, just 5 left." She relied looking ashamed. I was surprised. I had purposefully given her a lot to see how fast she could work. She had worked surprisingly fast. She may not be as bad at this as I had anticipated.
"Well finish them and then you can have your lunch break." I told her. She nodded gratefully and left. I smiled. This wasn't going to be quite as bad as I had imagined!
