Haley stood there completely lost as to what to do. She didn't even know where the power button for the computer is. She sighed. What had she gotten herself into?

"Hi there, pretty lady," a voice caught her attention. She spun her head around. She was greeted by a tall skinny blonde smiling at her. The way he was looking at her caused her to blush.

"Hi," she said weakly hating herself for being so vulnerable.

"I'm Chris," he said extending his hand out to her. She took it gently and shook it.

"I'm Haley."

"The new assistant, right?" He leaned in closer to her and grinned, still clutching her hand.

She nodded shyly, avoiding looking at him. Gosh, he was really close.

"Yea."

"I'm on the board. Also, I'm Nathan's best friend," he said and winked playfully at her. Her heart nearly skipped a beat. He was so adorable. His smile brought her to blush even more and not just that, he was still holding her hand. All of a sudden, her body temperature seem to sky rocket. She could barely breath. Is this what they call Love at first sight?

"How do you like it here so far? I know Nathan can be a drama queen sometimes and he's really a mess at times too, but Laurie handled him well." Even his voice was lovely.

"I-uh-I--my hand," she stumbled with her words.

Chris looked down and chuckled amused. "Sorry." He let go of her hand and smiled at her.

"It's okay," she replied, regretting it now that the warmth had left her hand.

"Anyway, where did Nathan go?"

"Oh, um, he said sometime about his sister?" Haley guessed. She wasn't paying attention at the time.

"Oh, Brooke, right. Well, I can come back later. It was nice meeting you," Chris said waved.

"Wait," she cried out. Chris turned around to face her.

"I kinda need some help. Can you? I mean--er, if you're not busy?" she asked pleadingly.

He smiled. Her heart melted once more. "Sure."

Nathan returned to his floor along with Brooke by his side. They both froze at the sight of them. Nathan glared at Chris while Brooke glared at Haley. Both Haley and Chris were oblivious to Nathan and Brooke's presence since they were too busy laughing and joking around. Haley threw her head back and laughed at a joke Chris had just told her. Nathan clenched his fist, as he walked closer to the couple. Chris was kneeling beside Haley with his hand over Haley's on the mouse showing her how the program works.

"Ah-hem," Nathan cleared his throat. Chris looked up and beamed.

"Nathan!" He stood up and looked down at Haley and then at Nathan.

"I was showing her how to use Excel. She needed to input all those data but didn't know how, she I was showing her," Chris explained. "Brooke!" Chris turned his head to the brunette standing to the side. Brooke tried to manage a smile but failed.

Haley turned as well, and soon regretted afterwards. Brooke gave her a glare and rolled her eyes. Haley tried to ignore her and returned her gaze to Chris. Chris pulled Nathan away and formed a small huddle.

"Dude, where did you find this chick? She's hot!" he whispered.

Nathan rolled his eyes and sighed.

"I mean it, man. I mean, come on, I know you see it too." Chris turned around and smiled Haley who smiled back awkwardly. Chris returned to Nathan.

"I think I'm in love," Chris sang happily. "You think I can have her? I mean-" Chris stepped back and laid his hands before him "If that's alright with you, boss." Nathan tried to laugh at his joke, but something inside of him was causing him to feel…jealous. The way Haley had laughed before, it was beautiful, but with Chris next to her, so close to her, made him envious that Chris had been the one to make her laugh.

"Of course, it's alright, she's just my assistant," Nathan assured him, trying to be convincing enough.

Chris smile wider. "Catch you later, then." He walked over to Haley and whispered something in her ear before leaving. Nathan tried to keep his cool when he walked by Haley.

"Everything okay?" he asked. She nodded. "Yea, I'm beginning to get the hang of this now."

"Good, oh Brooke. Aren't you going to come in?" He turned to his sister who was still standing apart from them. Brooke walked over to them ignoring Haley.

"Haley, this is my sister Brooke, you'll probably be seeing more of her," Nathan said. Haley nodded.

"Come on," Nathan said and walked inside his office with Brooke following along. As soon as the door swung shut, Brooke jumped at her brother.

"Why would you hire someone like her?" Brooke exclaimed.

Nathan sat down and loosen his tie. He was still stirred up over Chris and Haley.

"She needed a job, I needed an assistant," Nathan explained.

"Yea, right, Nate. You like her, don't you?" Brooke accused.

"Brooke!"

"Nathan, I can see it in your eyes when Chris was flirting with her. You nearly burst," she said crossing her arms across her chest.

"It's not like that," he said. "Besides, didn't you see, she likes Chris and Chris likes her."

"That doesn't prove anything. You still like her." Brooke moved towards her brother.

"Don't get in over yourself, Nate. I know her. She's been messing with Jake. She's like all the other gold diggers that you've been with."

"Brooke, she's not like that."

"I don't want to see you hurt again," Brooke said softly. "Promise me you won't get involved with her, promise me."

"Brooke-"

"Nathan-"

Nathan sighed. "Alright. I promise you. But you've got nothing to worry about. I'm not interested in her."

"Good, then." Brooke said smiling.
