PART 25

(Nicole's POV)

Seto opened the door to reveal an American young man, about 19-20 years old maybe, in a very expensive looking suit. You didn't remember anyone being scheduled to see Seto for this afternoon.

"Shedia, what are you doing here? We weren't scheduled to meet for another week. Miss Silvers, this is Amos Shedia of Shedia Technical. Amos, this is Nicole Silvers." You looked up from your file and reached out your hand.

"Welcome to Domino City and Kaiba Corp, Mr. Shedia." He took your hand and brought it to his lips.

"No, the pleasure is all mine. Who knew angels like you worked in the business?" he spoke in a soft tone. For some reason, this sent a chill down your spine. Yes, he was polite, but you didn't like strangers kissing you. That, and the way he looked at you reminded you of Jackson.

"Well, you know now." you said pulling your hand away, "Do I need to take my leave Mr. Kaiba?"

"No Miss Silvers. Mr. Shedia was not scheduled to meet me until next week. What are you doing here Amos?" Seto questioned.

"Well Mr. Kaiba, I thought I would take a small vacation in Domino. I wanted to inform you of my early arrival in case you had any openings, so we could discuss our business early." he said looking you over with his eyes. This gave you the creeps. You weren't some chick on display.

"I'm sorry, but I'm booked all week, and I would like it if you looked at me instead of Miss Silvers when we speak." Seto forced looking at you. You mouthed the word 'thank you' and he just gave you a nod.

"Well, if we can't talk business, then I will take my leave." He said nodding to both of you giving you that same lingering look. After you knew he was gone you let out a large sigh of relief.

"I don't like him. He gives me the creeps." You stated walking up next to Seto.

"I don't blame you." he said wrapping his arms around you lightly.

"The way he looked at me. It reminded me of..." You trailed away thinking of that night.

"Of?" Seto asked pulling away slightly.

"Let's just say I got that look from Jackson before you found me walking around in the rain." You muttered not wanting to remember that failure of a date. Seto's grip seemed to tighten some. "Anyway, I have to get back to my office. Mokie's waiting in there." you said looking down.

"What do you mean Mokuba's here?"

"He was let out of school early today, and met me at the school with the limo. He didn't feel like waiting at the house alone, so he's been hanging out with me today."

"Alright, but I'll give you a ride home tonight. Just tell me when you're leaving." he said giving you a kiss on your forehead.

"I'll ring you"

You entered your office to find Mokie asleep on the couch. You smiled to yourself and grabbed a blanket covering him up before going back to your work. After awhile, you decided to call for someone to come take Mokuba home. Ten minutes later, one of the assistants came by and took the sleeping Mokuba back to the house. You continued your work until you felt you had done enough. By this time, night had fallen on Domino City. Quickly, you grabbed your phone and dialed Seto's home to request Ryan to pick the two of you up. After that, you gathered your things and knocked on Seto's door.

"Come in."

"Hea, I finished up for tonight, and sent it all to the next person." You set down your school bag and started to rub his shoulders. It was something you would do to Sam back home, and it seemed to help. He gave a large sigh as you massaged by his neck. "You're too tense. You really need a break you know."

"I can't, there's too much to do. Anyway, where's Mokuba?" he sighed lying back in his chair.

"Well, Mokuba fell asleep in my office, and I had someone come and take him home. I came in here to tell you I was ready to go, but I guess you are not done, so I will have Ryan drive me home. Ok?" you said as you stopped massaging his shoulders. You bent down and gave him a kiss on the cheek. With that, you found your way to the elevator to make your way down.

(Seto's POV)

You felt so much better after Nicole did whatever she did. She had just left the room when you saw her backpack next to your desk. You realized it had all of her work in it, so you grabbed it and rushed out of your office. She had already boarded the elevator. You quickly called for another elevator. Only a few seconds later, the one next to you opened up. You, quickly, pressed the button for the lobby and waited. As the door opened, you could see Nicole almost at the front door.

"Nicole, you left your bag" you called out so you could get her attention. She turned around to meet your gaze. "Thank you Seto. It would have been hard for me to do my school work without it." She sighed walking over to you and taking the bag. Suddenly, your cell rang.

"See you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow" she replied as she left for the front doors. You turned around and answered your phone.

(Nicole's POV)

You took your bag form Seto and told him you would see him tomorrow. You felt like a ditz being so careless. You walked out of the front doors and waited at the spot Ryan would pick you up.

"I was wondering what time you got out of work." a voice spoke coming from the shadows.

"What are you doing here......."
