The jet touched down in Domino City and Chessy let out a relieved sigh. Flying was definitely not for her. "We will get you settled in at your apartment first, and then we will pick you in the morning for your first day of work." Mokuba said as he slid into the limo beside her. She looked up at him confused at his words.

"Pick me up?" she asked. Looking back and forth between the brothers. Mokuba smiled at her as Mr. Kaiba looked stoic without a smile.

"Yep, we don't want you getting lost on your first day. Besides, we usually find it easier to have our assistant ride with us as we can review our day in the car and get straight to work. Of course you will be considered on the clock once you get into the limo." Mokuba leaned in "I'm going to go ahead and apologize for my brother. He is not a morning person."

"He doesn't seem like any time of day person." She whispered back to him. Mokuba threw his head back and laughed. They pulled up outside of a large building that seemed to reach on forever towards the sky. "I guess this is my stop." She said as Roland opened the door for her. Mokuba followed her out of the limo.

"Come on, I'll show you to your apartment." She nodded as she followed the older man into the building. He led her up to the top floor, apartment 1507. It was a large two bedroom two bath apartment. It had hardwood floors and white walls with navy blue colored furniture. But her favorite part was the windows. The back wall consisted of three huge floor to ceiling windows that allowed her to see a large portion of Domino. Walking over to the window she looked out at the city with the sunset. It was breathtaking. "Here" she turned and saw that Mokuba had followed her and was handing her something. "This is your official KC issue phone. It is so that we can always reach you. My brother will insist that you always have it on your person and always be available." She took the small phone from his hands and nodded. After 12 hours on the jet her eyes were getting heavy, she was so tired. "I am going to leave you to it tonight. But I will see you bright and early in the morning, we are usually at the office by 7:30 so we will be here to pick you up around 6:45."

The next morning came way too early for Chessy, she found herself still exhausted from the day before. But she was up and ready to start the day. She woke at 5:30 and climbed into a cool shower to wake her up. The water was a shock to her system and had the desired effect as she shook herself awake. After her shower she dressed in a simple lilac purple dress that was knee length, with ¾ bell sleeves. It had been one of her favorites, but Macon had hated it so he never allowed her to wear it. She left her hair down, save for a small french braid on her right side serving as a way to hold her hair back, allowing the rest to fall naturally to her hips, and put on her shoes. Looking at her phone she had 5 minutes to get out front before the limo would be waiting. She grabbed her flip phone as well as her purse and headed out the door, locking it behind her. She hurried to the elevator and took it down to the main floor. She made it out front with only seconds to spare as she saw the limo pulling up. She waited outside as Roland came around and opened it for her. She had learned that rule fairly quickly, after seeing the look on his face when she didn't wait on him. "Good Morning Ms. Delacroix." he spoke as he opened it for her.

"Good Morning Roland, but what happened to calling me Chessy?", she asked as she slid in beside Mr. Kaiba.

"That is for private, in public he is to address you only as Ms. Delacroix, the same as you will address Mokuba and I as Mr. Kaiba." He looked at her harshly, as she looked shocked. Definitely not a morning person, Mokuba was right.

"Yessir" she said as she looked him in the eyes. He wanted her to back down to him, but she refused. She was done backing down to men.

"Good Morning Mr. Kaiba," she said looking at Mokuba, who laughed at her boldness.

"Good Morning Ms. Delacroix, I trust you had a pleasant evening?"

"Yes, it was very pleasant." she replied laughing at the inane small talk. But she got serious "the window is amazing. You can see for miles and the whole city looks like a giant Christmas tree." She smiled "but you can't see the stars."

The rest of the ride to the office was quiet.

Seto

She smelled good this morning, clean like roses and lavender. The dress brought out her eyes, making the green shine like bright emeralds. As she got out of the limo her hair brushed his cheek and the silky feel made his breath catch in his throat. She was going to be a problem.

Mokuba showed her to her office, it sat snuggly between his and his brothers with doors on either side of the walls leading into each office. "You will be both of our assistants until either I decide to hire another or he does. Between you and me, you will probably ask to be just my assistant as my brother can be demanding."

"I heard that." came the short harsh words from the open door to her right.

"You were supposed to." Mokuba replied, then looked back at her. "Seriously, if working for him gets too bad, you can always request to work only for me. No shame. But here, let's get our day started." He walked over to her desk and pulled up some files for her, "Seto will need these meeting minutes made available to our shareholders. As you can see our last assistant was not very organized and these files were supposed to be updated a week ago. This will be your first assignment then we will go from there and see what else she failed to complete."

It took Chessy until lunch to decipher the previous woman's handwriting. "Let's take a break." Mokuba said coming into her office. "I'm taking some friends to lunch. Why don't you tag along? You can meet Tea, my friend who goes to the dance studio."

"That sounds awesome, but I don't expect you to buy my lunch." She stood and met his gaze.

"You don't have to expect it, that's what's happening." She laughed as he presented his hand to her in an over exaggerated bow. "Milady, might I escort thee to lunch?"

"I would be honored, sire" she replied with a curtsey as she took his outstretched hand. "Isn't Broody-Pants coming?" She asked.

"Nah, he doesn't eat burgers. Plus he hates my friends."

"Oh my" she feigned shock "he hates people. I just absolutely can't believe it." She laughed.

"Don't be so hard on him." Mokuba said sadly. "He really is a good guy, and he's a great brother. He just has trouble showing it. He doesn't want to appear weak, so he appears harsh instead. I think he's just afraid to let people in. Even me sometimes."

"Mokuba, I mean absolutely no offense. Like you said the other day your brother is intense. There is a lot going on in his brain. Sometimes things like that can make a person come across as cruel. But I'm good with him." She put her head on his arm as they got into the elevator. "I can feel that your brother is a good man. We will just have to work out each other's quirks. I can handle harsh and cold." She smiled up at him. "Now, feed me Seymour. I'm starving."

The duo walked across the street to a small burger place with Mokuba leading the way as she followed. "Hey guys" he said as he walked to a table with 4 people around it and pulled out a chair for her. "This is Chessy, she's our new PA."

"I swear you guys get a new one every couple-a weeks" a blonde man said, smiling at her. "Joey Wheeler, at ya service." He stuck his hand out for Chessy.

"Pleased to meet you," she took his rough hand in hers and he brought it to his mouth and kissed it gently. She pulled her hand back quickly. She turned and gave Mokuba a puzzled look.

"Ignore him," the brunette girl to her left said. "I'm Tea, this is Yugi, and Tristan." She pointed to a man with purple and blonde hair and another man with brunette hair and brown eyes.

"You go to the dance studio!" Chessy exclaimed, forgetting about her lunch and everything else around her.

"Yep, would you like to come with me tonight?"

"Absolutely. I would love to!" She grinned as the waiter came over for their orders. They ordered their food and Tea told her about the dance studio. "I am so excited," Chessy said as their food came, "I am ready to dance again."

"Would you be interested in aerial dance?" Tea asked "You know with the ribbons?"

"You do that?"

"Our first class starts next week. If you are interested."

"Absolutely!"
