Roland couldn't be more excited than to get up at three in the morning to escort his boss to the airport.
No, really, that wasn't sarcasm. They were heading out to North America for a conference and he was ecstatic. He hoped Mr. Kaiba couldn't tell, but the elegant raise of his brow and a thorough look-over told him he was caught, but that was okay. Ever since his young boss started dating Atem he'd let things slide when it came to his personal life.
So, why was he so happy about getting up before the sun?
Roland sighed happily as he shut the door for Mr. Kaiba and ran around the car to get into the driver seat.
Betty, the snarky, big-eyed, wise-cracking head secretary at KC's US headquarters. They hit it off years ago but never had the time to explore their feelings past a few lingering flirts until one fateful day he and Betty were accidentally trapped inside a storage closet together.
The door wasn't locked, but after helping his lovely brunette obtain a heavy ream of paper from the top shelf they were too late. Atem and Mr. Kaiba had rushed into the meeting room the storage room was adjoined to. After a nasty, new-couple spat, Betty and Roland had to endure the enthusiastic make out session of two teenagers with little time and lots of repressed hormones.
They couldn't just walk out while the boys were busy fighting and simultaneously swapping spit, so they were stuck for a good hour in that tiny space. It gave them time to talk, to flirt, and in the end, well… let's just say that wasn't the only heated action that happened in the room that day. In fact, Roland had the sneaking suspicion that Kaiba had heard them because the same day he gave him a look that said nothing short of "way to go!"
Betty wasn't the only reason he was ecstatic for this trip. Mr. Kaiba informed him that he could have the rest of the month off after the conference and Roland beamed. He figured that must have been the most generous Christmas gift he had even given him. Hot cocoa, cuddled up next to his snuggle bunny by the fireplace... ah yes, this was going to be a fantastic holiday.
