Chapter 2 - "A Secretary and Her Boss"

.

Laxus' P.O.V

"What? I don't want a secretary. I can do anything by myself. I don't need someone's help," Laxus stood up from a brown leather couch in his gramps' office.

"You will need this person when you will realize later someday," Makarov drank a green tea.

"I will not need it. If I meet this person, I will fire him or her immediately," He walked away and opened the door. Makarov rolled his eyes and sighed.

'What the hell is Gramps' thinking? Who is this secretary? Is it a male? Or female?' He walked slowly in the hallway to his office. He sighed deeply and scratched his back head.

Normal P.O.V

Until now, Laxus met Lucy as a secretary. He glanced at her, "Hey Blondie, come here." Lucy was in deep thoughts. 'Now she's spacing out on her first day.' Laxus sighed deeply.

Laxus stood up and walked towards her, snapping his fingers in front of her, "Hello?" Lucy startled, "Y-yes, Mr. Dreyar?"

"Before you go, I have three conditions," Laxus held his three fingers to her face, she glanced from his lips to his eyes. His eyes were scary and glaring. Then she looked at his lips again, to read his lips, "Firstly, do not start falling for me. Secondly, do not cry in front of me. I can't handle it. Lastly, but not at least, listen to me carefully what I will say from now on. I hate telling you to repeat myself. If you fail those conditions, I will fire you right away. Get it?"

"G-got it!" Lucy got nervous by seeing his scary face on her first day of job, "I-I have a question to ask you."

"What is it?"

"Um . . . d-do you have . . . " she muttered.

"I can't hear you. Say it loud so I can hear," Laxus turned his head slightly to hear her properly.

"Do you have time to guide me on a tour?" Lucy spoke loudly.

". . ."

'I-Is it the wrong time to ask him?' she gulped slowly. Laxus smirked, "Why are you so nervous? Am I scary to you, blondie?"

"Hey, you're blonde too! I guess you have no time for that. I have to go find someone who can guide me," she turned around and walked away, however Laxus grabbed her left forearm. She startled and looked at him, "Kya, you scared me!"

"I ain't mean to scare you. Look, I can have some time to guide you. In two hours, I have a meeting," Laxus was letting go of her forearm and walked past her. Lucy smiled.

At the Fairy Cafe, Laxus pointed at the kitchen, "This is a cafe where the workers can cook whatever they want to launch some new recipes. I think it's two months left until the Fairy Recipe Contest takes place here." Lucy smiled widely, "Amazing! I want to try!" She cringed his right arm. He rolled his eyes and his one finger pushed her forehead, "Get away from me." Lucy rubbed her spot where he pushed.

"Hello, Mr. Dreyar and who is this?" Someone with a short blue-haired woman was curious. Lucy saw Laxus looking at someone, and then she turned around to see where he was looking. Her eyes were surprising to see . . . Levy McGarden, "L-Levy?! Is that you, Levy?"

"Oh hello, Lu-chan. Long time no see," Levy waved joyfully. Laxus pushed Lucy's back slightly, "Perfect time, Ms. McGarden, you can guide her on the tour. It's her first day as my secretary. I better go." Lucy glanced at him leaving. Lucy felt a hand on her shoulder, and looked at Levy.

"We have a long talk. Let's order something here," Levy said. They went to order something from Fairy Cafe. Levy ordered Frozen Strawberry Lemonade and Lucy ordered Iced Vanilla Coffee. "I heard from our friend, Mirajane. That you can't hear," Levy whispered quietly to not let anyone know.

"Well, it's a long story. I decided to unfriend her because what she did to me was horrible. I don't know what her reason is. Levy, I want you to keep it a secret from anyone including Mr. Laxus Dreyar. Only you, Mirajane, my parents, and Mr. Makarov Dreyar knows my secret," Lucy begged her. Levy smiled and nodded, "I really am curious about how you can understand our speech. Did you read our lips?" Lucy smiled, "Exactly! However Mr. Laxus Dreyar is difficult for me to read his lips. I am worried that he might fire me immediately. . ." She pouted. Levy patted her shoulder, "It's okay. He will find out someday."

.

Now, they finished their sweet talk. Lucy went on her way to her boss' office. She knocked on the door, and then opened it since she couldn't hear. She looked at Laxus and . . . there was a long white-haired female next to him.

"Oh, I am sorry. I don't know that you have a guest here," she tried to close the door, but Laxus opened it immediately. She was unexpectedly being dragged and tripped. He held her waist to make sure not to fall. Lucy looked up at his handsome orange eyes (Orange eyes in manga, not Anime). 'When I look at him this close, he looks handsome to me," she was staring at him. Laxus was letting go of her, as she fell down on the ground.

"Ouch. . . It hurts!" Lucy rubbed her left knee, "What was that for?" She stood up and glaring at him.

"You don't listen to me, blondie. I am introducing my guest to you," Laxus turned around, "This is Mirajane." Lucy can't see his lips with a last sentence, looked at Mirajane, who smiled and waved to her, "It's been a while, Lucy Heartfilia."

"M-Mirajane?"
