Seto Kaiba's Ray of Light Part 4: A Phone Call and a Request
"I shall give him the message. Thanks for calling."
After hanging up the phone, I wrote down the message the caller left for my boss, Seto Kaiba. That's right, he gave me a job in his company a few days after I reunited with him and Mokuba. I am currently his personal secretary. Apparently, he trusted me enough to work close to him. My tasks included taking down messages and giving them to him, faxing him papers sent to my office by potential clients, and answering simple phone calls. My office connected to his through a door behind my desk, so it was easy to give him messages and papers. Since my office had a couch, Mokuba was able to complete his online studies and keep me company. It seems hard to believe he's ending his junior year of high school today.
"Awesome! I finally finished! I passed my junior year!"
I smiled and organized the faxes and phone messages Seto was to receive.
"Did you have any doubt, Mokuba?"
"Not really, but it's nice to know. When's Seto getting back?"
"He's still in a business meeting. He should be finishing up any minute."
Mokuba looked at the clock above my door and smiled.
"It's lunchtime, Olivia. How about I order us some food from the café down the street? It should get here by the time Seto's meeting is over."
"Lunch sounds good. If they have it, order me a chicken Caesar wrap with baked potato chips."
"Will do. Be back soon."
Not long after Mokuba left, my cell phone started ringing. Only two people had my number, and one of them was currently in a business meeting. I answered and sat down at my desk.
"Hello?"
My dear Olivia, how is my favorite daughter today?
I smiled as I heard my father's voice, quickly looking around to make sure no one was listening in.
"I'm your only daughter, you know. Still, it's good to hear from you, Daddy."
Is your new job wearing you down at all?
"Not at all. Seto has been nothing but kind to me since I started working for him."
Ah, yes. Kaibaboy is your boss.
"Daddy, please don't call him that. It gets old."
I'll at least act civil toward him when your around, angel. Well, I must be going. Industrial Illusions doesn't run itself. Be sure to visit me as soon as you can, Olivia.
"Good talking to you, too, Daddy."
"Your adopted father, I presume?"
I jumped when I heard Seto's voice behind me. Apparently, his business meeting was finished.
"Yes. He was calling to check on me."
"Ever going to tell me who he is?"
Seto's POV:
Disappointment filled up inside me as she looked away from me. I guess she still wasn't ready to tell me.
"I promise I'll tell you, Seto. I'm...still not ready yet."
I sighed and tilted her head by grasping her chin and forcing her to face me.
"I apologize if you feel I'm pressuring you, Olivia. I just wish to know who took such good care of you after you left the orphanage. This person is basically responsible for us reuniting with each other. I'd like to thank him properly in person."
She smiled and nodded.
"Well, then. I'll definitely take it into consideration now."
"Hey, guys. I got lunch. You hungry?"
"Definitely."
Mokuba ordered my usual, which was a BLT with a small side salad. As I ate, I quickly remembered I wanted to ask Olivia.
"Olivia, you know how the charity ball is coming up in a few days?"
"Yes."
"I usually attend these kinds of events alone, but I would like it if you were to attend."
"I was given an invitation since I work for you, Seto."
I glanced at Mokuba, who smirked and shook his head. Apparently, Olivia was still clueless to certain things.
"I mean that I'd like for you to accompany me."
"You mean...you want me to be your date?"
"To put it simply, yes."
A slight blush appeared on her face as a smile lit up her face.
"I'd love to."
"Good. I'll pick you and Yugi up at the game shop at 6PM on Saturday."
"Sounds good to me."
As I'm sure you all know from the words "Kaibaboy" and "Industrial Illusions", Olivia's adopted father is indeed Maximillion Pegasus. This was the secret referred to in part 1, which means Yugi is the only one in their group of friends that knows. Part 5 will begin in Yugi's POV as Olivia tells him of the day's events. Also in part 5, Seto sends an invitation to Pegasus inviting him to the charity ball, unaware Pegasus is Olivia's adopted father. Stay tuned to see how it goes
