Chapter 4: Lunch break
************************************************************************************
The rest of the morning passed, much to Pan's relief, without any incidents. Trunks had shown her around Capsule Corporation and explained to her the work she had to do. The only thing that had bothered her were the looks the other female, and even some male, employees gave her, when she and Trunks passed by during their tour. Those were mostly looks that could kill. She had even heard some of them whispering, telling each other that they had also wanted the job Pan now had, and how Bulma could give someone this job, who doesn't even know Capsule Corporation. With her Saiyanhearing, Pan also picked up that most of them thought that she was too young and that she wanted this job just to get to the President.
As she had heard that, Pan had growled under her breath. Who exactly wanted the job to be near Trunks? Everyone, just not her.
Right now Pan was sitting in Trunks office, where now also stood a desk for her, going through some files Trunks gave her. It was already noon and Pan could hear her stomach complaining about the lack of food. "Damn it!" she cursed under her breath. "He wanted to be back by now! Where is he?"
Just at that moment, the door was thrown open. Pan quickly turned around, happy to finally get something to eat, but it wasn't Trunks, who came into the office. It was Bra. Pan didn't know if she should be disappointed that it wasn't her lunch, happy to see her long time friend again, or just scared of being recognized by her.
"TRUNKS!" Bra yelled, totally oblivious of the other woman in the office. She had her hands on her through the red dress well shown hips and flipped her hair over her shoulder, having a scowl on her face. Pan had to wince at her screeching voice, which she had inherited from her mother, but allowed a smile to form on her face. Bra hadn't changed at all.
"He's not here," Pan told her, getting the attention of her old friend.
Startled, Bra looked around the room, just to spot the young black haired woman sitting at an extra desk in her brother's office. "What?"
"I said he's not here. He went out to get some lunch for himself and me," she answered nonchalantly.
Bra stared at Pan. "What? He promised me to take me out for lunch! What is he thinking?" Suddenly a look of recognition passed her face. "Wait a minute… You are…"

Trunks growled as he waited in the small pizzeria just around the corner of CC for his orders. What is taking them so long? He looked at his watch and felt the need to destroy something. He should be back for fifteen minutes. Pia was waiting for him and she had told him to hurry, because she was so hungry.
Trunks smiled as he thought of her. He had never thought that he would see her again. His heart had made more than one jump, when she had stepped into his office that morning. The woman who had robbed him of his sleep the night before was now working for him. No, with him. He would spend all day with her in his office. He really liked that thought.
Okay, first, after she told him that she wanted to forget the previous night, he was a bit disappointed, no more than just a bit. But later, as they started working together, he almost didn't need the events of the previous night to be enchanted by her. Her whole way of being made him love her even more. Not just that she was beautiful; she was also funny, smart, she knew what she wanted and didn't look at him like he just was some piece of meat that just waited to be devoured. She saw him as Trunks Briefs, as person, and not his money. He had the feeling that he had known her all his life.
But what was she thinking of him? Sure, she acted like she was a friend, a workmate. But just the fact that she had acted like him the night before let him hope that she would see more in him that just a friend. Goten was right with what he had said - He was falling for this woman.
He was suddenly torn out of his thoughts by a voice calling out for him. "Mr. Briefs! Here are your pizzas!" one of the waiters told him.
Trunks sighed and grabbed the boxes. Finally. Now he just had to go back.
~*~
"Aren't you the girl my brother met at the club last night?" Bra wanted to know. "Pia Shen, or what was your name?"
"Yes, that's me," Pan said, trying to hide her relief. She had thought for a moment that Bra had really recognized her. After all, they used to be best friends.
"Wow! What are you doing here?" the young Bulma-look-alike asked exited. "Don't tell me you are his new assistant my mother was talking about?"
"As a matter of fact, I am," Pan told her smirking. "And you are his sister?"
"Yes, my name is Bra! Nice to meet you. Did my brother tell you that he couldn't sleep all night just because of you?"
"What?" the quarter-Saiyajin asked confused.
"Well, he didn't tell me exactly that it was because of you, but he had told me that he hadn't slept at all last night. And believe me, Trunks is usually someone who could even sleep, when there was an apocalypse coming up. And the only thing that happened to him last night was you, so I think that he couldn't sleep because of that," Bra rambled. "But I think that this is really a good reason, after what you two have done last night. I mean, both of you were in some trance-like state. I have never seen something like this before, believe me! And now tell me, why you didn't tell my dear brother that you would work for him?"
"Well, Bra," Pan began hesitating, "I didn't think that it would be such a good idea to tell him that at a club. He might've thought that I just did this with him because of the job. And to be blunt, I have now idea how this could have even happened."
Bra just wanted to say something as they both caught the delicious smell of pizzas nearing the office. "I guess he's back," she said smiling, "And he brought us food."
"Pia, I'm back!" Trunks said, as he stepped inside, not being able to see much, because of the amount of boxes he was carrying. First as he had placed them on his desk, he saw his sister. "Bra? What are you doing here?" he asked irritated.
"I can't believe it! Did you really forget that you wanted to take me out to lunch today?" she asked him steaming but sighed. "Well, whatever… Pizza's just fine. I think those boxes will be enough for Pia and me, or what do you think?" Bra turned to Pan, who just smirked at the display in front of her.
"Yes, I think that they would be okay for us." Pan played Bra's game. Well, it was just right to punish Trunks for forgetting his sister. It looked like he wouldn't get something to eat until this evening.
"But Bra," Trunks whined, "I'm starving!"
"Sorry bro! But I hope that will teach you!" Both young women laughed, as Bra took the boxes and placed them now on Pan's desk.
"Pia?" Trunks looked at her with puppy dog eyes.
Pan sighed, knowing exactly that she couldn't refuse those blue orbs looking at her like this. "Come on, Bra, let's give him one pizza. I don't want my boss to die at my first day at work."
Bra smirked. "Okay. Trunks you're lucky that Pia is here. I would've let you starve to death."
A huge grin appeared on Trunks face as he suddenly rushed towards Pan and pulled her into an almost bone-breaking hug. "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Pan felt like she would melt in his arms. All those strange sensations suddenly running through her again. She wanted to free herself from his grip, but her body was refusing to do what her mind was telling it to.
"Trunks!" Bra laughed. "Let her go! She needs to breath."
Pan almost let out a whimper, as Trunks warm body disappeared. All her self-control had been gone. She didn't know what would have happened, if Bra hadn't told Trunks to let her go. She looked up at him and saw him grinning down at her.
"Sorry…" he told her sheepishly. "Well, what about if we eat? We don't want the pizzas to get cold, won't we?"
"Of course not," Bra said and gave him one of the boxes.
About half an hour later all the boxes were empty. Trunks, who was just allowed to eat one pizza looked longingly at one last piece lying in the last box. Bra had eaten most of pizzas and he was even surprised that his new assistant, Pia, had eaten two of them. She definitely didn't look like she could eat that much.
Pan saw Trunks looking at the last piece and laughed. "Go on, Trunks. Take it."
He looked at her and Bra hopefully. "Really?"
"Yes, take it, bro, or else I will do it."
Trunks didn't let her say that again and the last piece disappeared within a few seconds. They still sat there for a few minutes before Bra got up again. "Okay guys, I have to go again. See ya tonight Trunks. And Pia, I'll visit again sometime!"
"Okay, bye Bra!" Pan said.
"Till tonight, sis!" Trunks said and then looked at Pan. "And what shall we do now?"
"Working I guess," she answered. "At least it's what I'm paid for."
Trunks sighed defeated. "Okay, working is it then." Now he knew another reason why his mother thought an assistant would be good for him. He wouldn't be able to sneak away anymore.
