A/N: Hello reader, this is an AU Romance that I wrote a while back. Most of the Gx cast will be in this story. I couldn't write the summary in detail because was limited. :(

This is the full summary

Akemi Ayuna is the secretary for the famous pro-duelist Aster Phoenix for two years and can't get along with her boss. Sadly, she struggled financially because her father is very ill and can't work under his condition. Luckily, her Aunt Cinder is willing to help her but under one condition. She has to work as a maid part-time which Akemi agrees and is hired. One day, her boss came into the cafe and saw Akemi but didn't recognize her. That's because Akemi change her appearance from a plain jane nerdy secretary to a drop-dead gorgeous maid. Unfortunately for Akemi, Aster has a crush on her and visits the cafe almost daily. Frightening by this, Akemi created a false identity to remain this secret from her boss.

Can Akemi keep this secret from her boss or will Aster found out that the maid he's in love with is also his secretary?

Hopefully, you like it. Enjoy! =)


Chapter 1 {Secretary By Day and Maid By Night}

It was Friday morning, as the sun barely rises. Noises around the busy city as people are heading back home or work. Looking at a small apartment complex, that has an open parking lot space. There isn't a gate around the building but the windows are fenced to keep out the burglars. Heading to the first floor in room three. Inside the apartment is small, with only two bedrooms and one bathroom.

Seeing one of the bedrooms at the end of the hallway. The room is a little cramped as a small black wooden bed and a nightstand with a phone on the furniture. One side of the bedroom is a small bookcase. At the corner of the room, a big mirror stand is placed. Facing the window, a black L-shaped desk with a leather chair that has a sewing machine and a kit filled with needles, threads, a tape measure, scissors, and other tools. Near the desk, a large pegboard organizer is hung by the wall with more tools for her hobby and a white female mannequin torso stands next to her desk.

A loud ringtone was coming from the nightstand as the alarm went off at 6:45 am. A hand grabbed the phone and turned off the alarm. As a girl stood up from her bed and stretched her body out to get ready for work. She got off her bed as she went to her closet and opened it. Picking the clothes to wear and starting to strip from her pajamas. She put on her round non-see through glasses on and brush her iris purple hair to wrap it in a bun. She on a white-collar shirt then wore an oversized green sweater to hide her breast. Grab a grey plaid cardigan sweater to put it on and loose pants with black flats.


(Basically, the glasses look just like Carly's glasses from Yugioh 5Ds.)


She headed to the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee and a toast of bread to enjoy her breakfast. She prepared lunch for herself as she put her lunch in the lunch bag. She went to her father's room as he's sleeping peacefully. She smiles softly seeing her father get the rest he deserves. She kissed him on the forehead and went off to work.

She drove to her destination which takes around fifteen minutes but most of the time the streets are trafficked which takes ten minutes but she didn't mind. Reaching her destination, she drove to a big building and parked the car. She grabs her bag and walks to the building where two guards are waiting. She grabs her badge from her purse and clips it on her sweater. The guards recognize her and move aside to let her in. Open the door and went to the elevator. She presses the eighth-floor button as the elevator lift. She waited until the elevator opened the door and step out. Walking through the cubicles, she headed to her own office. She put her bag at the side of the chair and sat the leather chair by the desk. She opened the drawer to grab a black laptop and put it on her desk. Open the laptop and unlocking the password to start working. Two hours in the office, She sat up from her chair and heading to her break. Leaving her office to grab a cup of tea. As she walks through the building, someone greeted her which she stops.

"Good morning Akemi." She turns to see a young woman around the same as her.

Her black short hair with her brown eyes. Dress in a blue blazer jacket underneath is a white-collar shirt with a black pencil skirt and silverware earrings. Below her shirt wore black stocking with white two-inch heels. Akemi is happy to see her coworker and close friend Mindy.

"Morning Mindy." Akemi greeted her friend.

"Akemi, I was hoping if you have time, could you help me to check on the paper to make sure it is ok." Mindy asked as she gave her paperwork to her friend.

"Sure, I have time right now." Akemi replied as she looked through her coworker's work.

"Thanks Akemi. Have you heard of the new fashion trend?" Mindy asked as it sparked a conversation.

As they were having a conversation a group of men was walking into the building. Four men were talking to a man with grey hair and blue eyes. His outfit is a silver suit with a black collar shirt underneath it with matching shoes and loose light grey and purple with a golden button necktie.

"Yesterday was a great duel, Mr. Phoenix." One of the male coworkers said as he's talking to one of the most popular Pro Duelist Aster Phoenix.

"It was an easy and quick duel." Aster said with a cocky attitude.

The males stop to see Akemi and Mindy. One of them took this opportunity to make fun of Akemi.

"Hey Mindy you look like a goddess today or you're standing next to Plain Jane there to make yourself look twice as good." He said as all the guys laughed including Aster.

Both females turn to them and this made Mindy irritated as she responds, "Thanks for the compliment but I don't take compliments from shallow guys like you."

"Oh, come on Mindy. I was trying to be nice." He said having a grin on his face.

"If uplifting someone up so they can put someone else down is nice then you're sadly mistaken." Mindy said with an attitude as she crossed her arms.

"Look, I'm just telling the truth. If Akemi doesn't like it then she should dress women like her age." He said which pissed Mindy off.

"Why you..." Mindy was about to raise her voice but Akemi interrupts her.

"Mindy just ignored them, don't waste your time and energy on them." Akemi said as she gave the paperwork back to Mindy.

"But Akemi doesn't it bother you?" Mindy said with concern.

"Not really, here I check your work and it's good." Akemi said and she walked away.

"See what you did? You made her upset." Mindy scolded them and followed Akemi.

"Two years working here and Akemi still has that same blank expression even after we make fun of her." One of the male coworkers said.

"It's like she isn't phased by it." Another male said.

"Why did you hire Akemi as your secretary sir?" One of them asked.

"The main reason I hired her as my secretary is that she is the only woman who didn't try to flirt with me during the interview and answer all my questions without getting off-topic." Aster replied, having a headache thinking about it.

"She is boring to work, Right Mr. Phoenix?" One of the coworkers asked their boss.

"You can say that. Akemi maybe boring and at times difficult to work with but she makes up for being diligent and reliable." Aster replied.

"That reminds me, is next week's schedule complete?" Aster asked his coworkers.

"Ummm... It's almost done." One of them said as they lied to their boss.

"Good I want to be done in an hour." Aster said as he walked to his office which the four men were scared.

"Yes, sir!" They said in unison and started the schedule.

In the break room, Akemi was making warm tea as she thought about what just happened now. She felt bothered not only making fun of her but her boss didn't do anything and let it happen. Mindy came into the break room and walked up to her.

"Are you ok?" Mindy asked.

"Oh, yeah." Akemi said.

"You don't have to lie to me Akemi." Mindy said.

"You know me too well." She said.

"It bothers you didn't it." Mindy said.

"It's not just that Mindy. Our boss witnessed it and didn't do anything." Akemi said.

"Ugh, sometimes Aster gets on my nerves how he treats you." Mindy said with frustration.

"Yeah, but there is nothing I can do. I'll just have to deal with it. As soon as my father gets better and you pay all of my college debts, I'll quit this horrible job." Akemi said with determination in her eyes.

"That's the spirit Akemi." Mindy said.

"Thanks, Mindy." Akemi said as the girls smiled and laughed.

Akemi went back to her office and continued her work. Giving the paperwork to her boss and having a meeting with him with other coworkers. As time passed, it was almost four o'clock. Akemi grabbed her things and was heading out. She came out of the building and got in her dad's old navy blue car. She drove off as she's driving home.

As Akemi park in front of the apartment complex and got out of the car. She walked a small stairway and went to her door number. Use the key card to open the door and look to find her father. He was in the kitchen cooking rice with spicy curry.

"Hi, sweetie I just finished making dinner." Her father said as Akemi came in the kitchen.

"Thanks, dad. So how are you feeling today?" Akemi asked wanting to make sure her dad's health is ok.

"I feel fine." Her father said as he served food for his daughter and himself.

He started to cough heavily and had trouble standing up. Akemi worried about her dad, grab his arm to put it around your shoulder to help him stand up.

"Dad don't push yourself, the doctor said you need rest and take the medication that he gave you." Akemi said as she took her father to a chair and sat him down.

"I know but I don't want you to work two jobs and waste your youth for taking care of me." He said feeling bad for his daughter holding all the responsibility on to her.

"Don't worry about it, I don't mind besides I'm only doing this until you are able to work again." Akemi said as she comforts her dad as she put their plates on the table.

"If only your mother was here, she would have the help you financially and take care of me." He said as Akemi look at a picture of her, father and mother.

She missed her mother dearly, which has been seven years since her mother is gone. She tried to cheer herself and her father up.

"Yeah, but you won't be alone. Alexis will check up on you in case something happens." Akemi said as she turned to father and smiled.

After Akemi finished eating, she cleans the table and washes the dishes. She was getting ready for her second job. Akemi dressed in a black T-shirt with white crop top sweater hoodie and black leggings. She put on makeup first, then braided some parts of her hair both sides of her hair to stick then together. Akemi used a rose hairpin to put on the back of her head. She grabs the curling iron and curled the rest of her hair. Akemi switch from glasses to contacts and tied her black sneakers on. Before leaving her room, she took a small cute backpack and a black cap. She waited by the living room until five-thirty. Her father came in to say goodbye to his daughter.

"I'll see you later sweetie and be careful." Her father said as he kissed Akemi's forehead.

"I will love you, dad." Akemi said to kiss her dad on the cheek.

"Love you too sweetie." He said as Akemi left the apartment.

Luckily for Akemi, it's a fifteen-minute walk from home to her workplace. She walked towards a shopping area filled with many people. It was difficult to walk pass through the people, until Akemi reached her destination. It was packed since it was a Friday night and the cafe is in a nice and expensive shopping area. It has a beautiful fountain with a big cherry blossom tree which is well known to write wishes and with a ribbon tied the paper on the tree. They grow roses, carnations, lilies, orchids, lilacs, dahlias, and peonies around the area.

She walked back to the building and headed inside. She was greeted by a young long blue hair girl with brown eyes wearing a short-sleeved maid outfit that covers her knees which the dress was poofy. Wore black heel shoes and high knee socks with two white stripes. Have white frilly bracelets with matching headband and apron. It was her friend and coworker, Blair Flannigan.

"Hey Akemi." The young girl said as Akemi went to her locker.

"Hi Blair, how are you?" Akemi greeted her back as she opened her locker.

"Good, and you?" Blair said as Akemi's expression changed from happy to annoyed.

"Terrible, my male coworkers just love to make fun of me. What's worse is that my boss witnessed it and didn't do anything. If anything he was laughing with them." Akemi explained her day to Blair while putting her backpack, cap, and sneakers in her locker.

"That's harsh, I don't why they dislike you? If you didn't do anything to bother them." Blair said.

"They just want to get a reaction out of me since I have a poker face there." Akemi said.

"So what was it this time?" Blair asked.

"They just saying that I'm a plain Jane and I should dress like a woman of my age" Akemi said as she looked down.

"Huh, I see so they are just making fun of your appearance?" Blair said.

"Yeah, I kinda wish that they stop." Akemi said.

"If it bothers you, why don't you change your appearance so they can respect you more?" Blair asked which Akemi shooked her head.

"No, I don't since I'm not working there to impress them." Akemi answered.

"Ok but you wear contacts, do your hair nicely, and put makeup on when you work here." Blair said.

"That's because I don't want anyone from the company to find out that I work here. Also, I do attract more customers to eat here." Akemi said as she and Blair giggled.

As Akemi finish changing to grab the menu and headed to the dining area as customers are coming in and out. Inside the cafe, there are twenty-one round tables with comfy chairs. Twelve tables for two and nine tables for four. By the kitchen door, a bar table is set with seven high stool chairs. The area is very bright with modern furniture and black curtains hanging by the windows. On the left side of the room, there is an average size stage to entertain their customers.

Akemi went to the kitchen, see a young chef. He was around his mid-twenties with brown long hair and eyes. He wore a black chef coat with red buttons and rolled up the sleeve that covers up to his elbows that shows off his muscles arms. Having black pants with matching shoes with a white waist apron. It was her other coworker and her older cousin Atticus Rhodes.

"Hey Akemi, a lot of customers today?" Atticus asked as Akemi gave the orders to him.

"You know it, I suggest that you stop flirting with our maids and start to string the pot. The customers are getting tired of waiting." Akemi order her cousin.

"Hey, you can't order me around." Atticus said as he finishes cooking one of the orders.

"Someone has to since you're slacking off again as usual." Akemi said grabbing the plates and headed outside.

A couple of hours passed by and night came. The cafe is still packed as customers are coming in and out. Akemi was very busy with the customers, walking back and forth to serving the customers.

"Akemi?" Someone was calling her.

She turns to see a woman in her forties as she wore a black long sleeve Victorian-style maid outfit that covers her ankle. Wore black boots with white head frills with matching headband. Her short caramel hair with bangs that covers her forehead and hazel eyes. The owner of the cafe as well your Aunt Cinder Ayuna.

"Please, finished these customers I have an important task for you." Aunt Cinder said to the young female.

"So, what's up?" Akemi asked her aunt.

"Akemi, I want you to sever a VIP customer. They called to say that they'll come in and wanted to have a private dining room." Aunt Cinder said to her niece.

"Ok then, so are we going to have a celebrity or a rich businessman?" Akemi asked the short hair women.

"I don't know but this is a very important customer. So, do your best." Her aunt said as Akemi nodded.


Meanwhile Outside the Cafe

From the front of the building, Aster was hanging out with three other guys. They walked towards the cafe as the brown spiky kuriboh hair male with light brown eyes was leading the group. He dresses in a red leather jacket with a long sleeve grey v-neck shirt. Wore black jeans with red sneakers with two black stripes on each side. This is the undefeated Pro Duelist Jaden Yuki.

The next male has black spiky hair and black eyes. His attire is a long black coat with matching color pants and shoes. Having a purple button-up collar-shirt with a dark grey tie and a black vest over it. This is another Pro Duelist and the face of the Princeton Corporation, Chazz Princeton.

The last male has a messy spike teal hair with emerald eyes. Dress in a navy blue jacket with a white t-shirt. Wore black jeans with a white belt and brown boots. This is the Crystal Beast Pro Duelist, Jesse Anderson.

Jaden stops and looks at his phone then looks up at the building. The others stop since it was Jaden's idea to take them to a cafe and is paying for their food. He confirmed the place and text someone, notifying them that they are here. He turns around to friends with a smile on his face.

"This is the place." Jaden said as the others read the name of the cafe which they were confused and surprised at why Jaden wanted to eat there.

"Jaden isn't this a maid cafe?" Aster asked the guys turned to the brown-hair male.

"Yeah but this cafe is very popular and I heard that the food is great here. I don't see the problem guys." Jaden said innocently which made his friends a bit uncomfortable to explain to him.

"But isn't this where creepy weirdos come here and to stare at young female maids?" Jesse said.

"I'm not going in there. This will lose our reputation as Pro Duelists." Chazz said as Aster went on his phone.

"Aww come on guys. We should give this place a chance and my girlfriend's brother recommend this cafe." Jaden said as convincing his friends.

"Jaden is right. I'm reading the reviews and it's a four-point seven out of five stars. So far many people love the place." Aster said as he shows his phone to the males.

"Huh, many positive reviews. I guess we can try the cafe." Jesse said looking at the phone and Aster nodded with an agreement.

"Chazz you coming?" Jaden asked looking at the spiky hair male.

"*sigh* Fine since you pay it. I just hope no one sees us in the cafe." Chazz said as they went inside.

There is a wooden seven-foot-long wall that covers the dining area. Usually, customers needed to the left to go around it. Instead, they went to the right as a red curtain cover the VIP rooms. They went through the curtain to see a small waiting room as a bench is against the right side of the wall and a wooden podium is on the other side. Behind it, the VIP dining room looks like a hallway but it's big and spacious compared to the main cafe area which is a little bit crap and crowded with customers. It was a hallway filled with dim lights on the ceiling. On the left side, there are tinted windows you can see the rest of the customers in case there is a show. Four separate big semi-booths tables on the right side of the hallway facing the windows.

Aunt Cinder heard the door open and took a peek to see her customers. Atticus informed her that the VIP is here. She looks from the kitchen door and remembers them from the media which surprised her.

"*gasp* Oh my. Akemi, they're here." Aunt Cinder said as she was shocked to see four handsome young men walking in her cafe in the VIP waiting room.

Akemi heard her aunt call her name as she finished servingher table. Say goodbye to the customer and came into the kitchen.

"They're here?" Akemi asked walking towards her.

"Yes, it's them. There's no doubt about it." Aunt Cinder answer, still looking at them which Akemi open the door.

"Ok, I'll..." Akemi paused to see Aster with three other guys. She backed away from the door and was trembling with fear and embarrassment if her boss finds out that she's working here as a maid.
