Chapter 34

(Okay guys, I might have not followed the whole concept with Emmett's past or the main character from the tv show this story is based on...i thought it would be interesting to add something corny and cheesy like this where Emmett is able to view only Regina with a different view...rather then comparing her to Lilly. I think his anger or frustration this way is justified in a way that he likes to be control and now he has come against a situation where he has less control of. If you guys would like check out the characters from the show, their names are Geet and Mann you will be able to find song videos of them on youtube, I have one here its my favorite and its titled "Maaneet - Hua Hai Aaj Pehli Baar *HD*" youtube!).

It was now Sunday night; Regina had moved to Emmett's place and had just got done setting up her room. She was going to be residing in upper room of the house and her boss will be staying downstairs. He had told her he had always stayed downstairs whenever he would spend time here and never thought about using any of the other rooms. There were total of five rooms in the house and they were plenty big and adjustable. When she was given a tour by one of the workers in the house, she had learned that one of the rooms downstairs was turned into a gym for Mr. Swan, which was close by to his own room. She had decided to occupy the middle room upstairs between the two other rooms around hers. There was one kitchen but she thought it might a problem for them use that kitchen at the same time but when she saw the kitchen she noticed it was quite big and open. The whole place was big and everything in it was big too. It almost reminded her of her own home in Storybrooke.

Belle had left an hour ago. She and Ruben had helped her out but there was not much that she had with her. So Belle ended up staying with her for few hours while Ruben and Emmett went out to somewhere. They talked about how things were going to be awkward for her again and how she would have to adjust to it and all. Regina then got them talking about the date Belle had with Ruben on Saturday. Belle then told her that Ruben had asked his grandmother to book the restaurant all to themselves for the night. To surprise her Ruben had decided to cook for them but Belle decided to help out. The whole place was decorated by beautiful lights and red roses and after their meal, Ruben had taken her to the rooftop where they laid on the ground under the blanket and just talked about each other or anything that came to their mind. And Regina could tell from the way her friend was reminiscing about the date with a wide smile on her face, that she had actually enjoyed her time spent with Ruben.

She hasn't seen Emmett since the time he had first left with Ruben and when he didn't come back when Ruben picked up Belle, Regina tried not to think about it. She went downstairs to see maybe he had come and she might have not noticed it. But when she was downstairs she noticed even the house staff members had gone as well and still no sign of her boss. As she was about to return to her room upstairs, she heard someone's footstep sounds coming from the entrance hallway. When she turned around she saw Emmett enter into the living room area. Then all of a sudden she went rigid at seeing him.

Emmett on the other hand still hadn't noticed Regina's presence in the living room. He took off his black vest and tie and opened few of the buttons on his purple shirt. He then put his vest and tie on the arm of the sofa and sat down, letting his body relax.

"Are you alright?" Regina asked as she came closer to the sofa.

Emmett not completely sure if he was hearing things from the rough day he had. He opened his eyes and saw Regina standing few feet away from him where he was sitting on the sofa. He moved his body forward and looked up at her.

"You….." sigh "Yea I am alright, thank you for your concern" then he got up and picked his clothes and started to walk away from her. Regina was about to do the same when she noticed him stop and turn around to face her again. They were both looking at each other now for the first time all day.

Regina couldn't help but look at the messy golden hair and those tired eyes that would close any minute now.

"I expect you to be on time tomorrow morning, the others will be here by 9 so…be prepared for the team tomorrow" he then nodded at her and turned around, started walking away again. When Emmett was out of sight, Regina went to her room as well. She was about to enter the room when her phone started ringing she ran to her table and picked her phone up and saw Katherine was calling her.

"Hey Kat"

"Regina….hey how are you doing over there?"

"I am good Kat….I guess" sigh

"Hey…are you feeling alright" Katherine asked with a soft voice.

"Yea..yea..i am…just thinking is all…don't worry Kat" she took a deep breath "I will be alright. So how was you day?"

"It was alright…you know work…work" Regina could feel that Katherine was now worried about her.

"Kat…I told you there's nothing to worried about…I am just nervous being here with…him"

"Regina…he if does anything to bother you and hurt you…you better let me know…I will deal with him my way" there was an edge to the way Katherine said the last words.

"Kat.. you are worrying way to much" Regina assured her.

"Alright…alright. So did the Nolan's came to visit?"

"No" was her immediate answer. "But I think they will or they can whenever they want to…this is their place afterall…"

"Hmm…yea you are right about that"

"So….was there anything else that was troubling you, Kat?"

"Regina…you are my friend, who is now living with a complete stranger who just happens to be your boss, but here you knew Belle and now me….of course I am going to be worried for you"

Regina knew it was tough on them to just let her go like that, if she was speaking truthfully she didn't want to leave them either but she had to. "Hey! Its not like I have gone to some far away land, I am still here in the same city as you guys….and I promise I will find any time I could to spend it with you two" Regina assured her again.

"Alright…good to know, now then my dear try to have a good night sleep" Katherine said before hanging up. Regina just smiled and put her phone back on the table.

She then turned the lights off and went to the bed to lie down. She covered herself with the comforter and closed her eyes to let sleep take over her.

When morning came, Regina was up three hours before the architect team was supposed to arrive. She freshened up and decided to dress up for her first official day working for Emmett. She decided to wear a short sleeve cool black and grey dress with black flats. When she presentable, she decided to go downstairs. When she reached the dining room, she saw that her boss wasn't there. She took a seat and asked of the maid that was putting breakfast on the table about Emmett's whereabouts. She learned that Emmett had asked for breakfast to be delivered to his room directly. 'I will be eating alone it looks like' Regina thought as she served herself with some scrambled eggs and bread.

After a while, Regina notices her boss coming out into the living area, she quickly finished her juice and cleaned herself up before rushing out towards Emmett.

Emmett stood in the middle of the area and looked up at the stairs leading to Regina's room. (He's wearing a black dress pant with half sleeve grey shirt with a black vest and black tie.) He then slightly shook his head. As he was about to walk go to other side of the mansion to his office, he felt someone was standing behind him, he turned his head a little to his behind and for sure Regina was standing behind him a few feet away.

"Good morning Mr. Swan" Regina said with a nervousness laced to her voice, trying not to stare too much at her boss and into his eyes again.

"Good morning" he then ran his hand threw his blonde locks and sighed. "Listen….you can not keep on coming behind me or in front of me like this, I would appreciate it if you would let me know of your presence whenever you are near"

"Yes Mr. Swan…I apologize…" Regina replied. Emmett then nodded at her and turned around and started walking out of the living area. Regina soon followed after him.

When they reached the office area of the mansion, Emmett went to his desk and chair and sat down. He opened up a drawer to his left and pulled out few files from it.

"Regina, I want you to make 6 copies of each of these two files…and make sure you don't mix up the pages. The team will here soon so I want these printed copies on those tables before they arrive in here" Emmett then picked up the files to hand it to Regina, who was now standing in front of his desk with a open mouth.

"Regina?!" Emmett called out again. When Regina came out of it, she looked at the irritated expression on her boss's face.

She quickly snatched the files out of his hands and walked away from him before she did something else to increase his irritation with her more. When she reached the other side of the room where the copying machine was, she quickly went to work on it. As she was doing this she couldn't help but look toward Emmett's desk and every time she took these glances at her boss, she would see him reading up on a file and sometimes writing something down on it. 'Having him call me Regina all of a sudden, really surprised me' she then took a deep breath. When she was finally done with the copying machines, she looked around to find a stapler, when she found one she quickly started sorting out the papers and stable them into two different piles.

She then looked up to check time on the clock and noticed that there was still an hour left. After several more minutes she was done sorting out he papers and stapling them. She checked them again to make sure she didn't accidently make any mistakes with the two stacks. She then started placing them on the desks.

"Regina..could you come here" came the call from Emmett. Regina put the finale paper down on the desk and started walking to her boss. Emmett was now standing behind his desk and leaning on top of the table, looking down at an architectural sketch design.

"Yes..sir" Emmett finally looks up from the design, when he hears Regina.

"I want you to join me during this meeting and not say or discuss any point or opinion you of it at all….and if anything important is to be noted then I will let you know and expect you to write down for me to see later"

"Yes of course" Regina replied back. "Is that all?" she asked then, when Emmett went back to looking at the design with concentration.

He brought his hand up and put it under his chin in a thinking manner. "Yes..thats all, Regina" he then said without looking at her. Regina then turned around went to her desk that was not too far from Emmett's desk. She sat on her chair and looked in front towards the entrance from where guests will be entering soon. But at the moment another thought was running around her mind since she entered this office hall. 'Why do I want to keep listening to the way he says my name?' was a question that was puzzling her now. 'This would have been much easier if he had kept on calling me "Miss Mills"?'

I will sometimes have them wear matching colored outfits...hope you guys don't mind.
