Chapter 5

Amon woke up late the next day; He was exhausted from his all night rendezvous with Cherry. Every time he spent a night with her, he always regretted it the next day. Deep down in the pit of his stomach, he hated using her. However, he knew that he did not love her. She was nice to look at but that was all.

Robin arrived at the office bright and early. She had stop at the break room to get some coffee. Everyone was there already, either gossiping or hanging out. They all stop to stare at her when she walked in. She gave a half smile and nodded to all the faces. She made her way to the coffee pot. As soon as Robin left the room, everyone resumed the conversation about Robin.

"I think she is related to Amon in a long distance cousin type relationship" A blonde commented

"No she is more like long lost sister to Amon" Dojima offered

Everyone drew closer to her

"She is Father Juliano's Grand daughter, you know that priest that took care of Amon when his parents died. He is now –I'm guess- paying back the favor" Dojima beamed

Sakaki walked in and heard Dojima. He pulled her aside.

"Dojima, Stop gossiping about Robin, She is untouchable. Amon, will have your job if he even hears you talking about that girl. He made it clear to all of us that she can walk on water."

Sakaki was secretly having an affair with the talkative intern and he did not want anything to happen to Dojima. He would not be able to save her job, much less his own. Office affairs were constantly happening and even though he was much against it, he could not help it with Dojima.

Robin got into her office and looked through all her e-mails. She had asked if Amon was in when she passed his secretary but she just replied "no" without offering anymore. Robin was secretly dejected. She started on the various projects that Karasuma had thrown on her desk. All were easy and she did them right away. She kept her office open eyeing the elevator from across the room to see if Amon had arrived yet. She noticed many of the other men staring at her every time they passed by. She noticed it was nearing lunchtime. She stood up and decided to go to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria line was long. She saw Dojima from the middle of line and Dojima waved at her. Robin waved back and smiled. She noticed how popular Dojima was. Dojima had a perky personality and everyone liked being around her. Robin started to sigh; her stomach was making odd noises. She wished the line were shorter. She felt a slight tap on her left side; she turned to see who it was.

"Amon" a smile quickly formed on her lips. "How long have you been behind me?"

"Just now, Come... we will eat downs stairs. Way faster."

He grabbed her arm to pull her towards the elevator. Robin let him.

She noticed the looks that she was now getting. Amon never stepped in the lunchroom with commoners. By this time, everyone already had heard about Robin, the privileged one. All the women were envious of the beautiful green-eyed dark blond.

The elevator flew open, Sakaki, Touko, and Karasuma walked out. They were surprised to see Amon.

"Amon, I thought you took the day off" Sakaki questioned

"No, just woke up late" Amon answered

"Did you eat lunch here?" Touko asked curiously

"NO. I came here to fetch Robin. We will be eating lunch at Harry's." Amon stepped into the elevator and Robin followed. She can feel the glare Touko had given her.

"How was your morning Robin" He asked

"Busy" she answered him back

She stayed in her office most the morning because she knew that people were gossiping about her, she was not used to some of the rudeness that people had showed towards her. Only Dojima and another intern Michael had shown her some kindness. Her boss acted indifferent towards her. Touko did not even bother socializing with her. She did not want to complain to Amon. After all, she needed this job.

"I got several e-mails from Sakaki and Karasuma saying that you're doing a great job"

"Really" Robin blushed and smiled up at Amon.

They did not wait for their food long. Amon liked Robin's company. She was quiet and not overly dramatic. Amon hated to talk and oddly enough, Robin seemed content with the silence. He noticed that Robin liked staring around and watching people. He did the opposite; he ignored everyone but was still well aware of his surrounding. Robin glanced down at her watch. It was nearing an hour that she had been gone. She looked up at Amon with panic in her eyes.

"Amon, I will be late, I only have an hour lunch"

Amon chuckled at this; he thought she had something more pressing bothering her.

"Your with me, Robin. Even though you are technically under Miho, Sakaki, and Touko, they will not question your tardiness because you're with me...relax"

"But Amon, I don't want you to show me any favoritism, it's not fair" Robin told him with pouted lips

Amon had to control himself from wanting to jump over the table to kiss Robin. She is a teenager he kept shouting to himself. The familiar tension he was feeling was starting to creep in. It is a good thing that Robin did not know how her innocent pout of was affecting him.

"Life's not fair Robin" Amon offered back

"Don't get me wrong Amon. I am extremely grateful for everything you have done for me. I should not be so blatant with the extra privileges that you offer me. Professionally, I will not be taken seriously" Robin looked at him with pleading eyes and she pouted her lips ever so lightly. A wisp of her hair gently fell over one of her eyes.

Amon could not resist, his hands reached over to gently brushed the hair the fell over Robins eye and tucked it behind her ears. He stroked her cheeks ever so lightly before returning his hands back to his side. Robin gave him a half smile.

She was pleasantly surprised with Amon's gesture and he managed to fluster her enough to drop the subject.

They stood up and went on their way. She noticed that Amon was walking with her with even pace. He was always walking ahead of her. In fact, he did this to everyone, yet he was actually walking besides her.
