Chapter Five - Off the hook?

Now that the adrenaline has worn off from your confrontation with Hans, stood in the centre of Oakens office you slowly start to come to terms with the fact that you're going to be fired before even finishing a full working day. This is quite disheartening since you have always wanted to work here and now that you've been given the opportunity of a lifetime it has slipped through your fingers. 'why did I do this?' you ponder 'I have never been a violent person and this even took me by surprise'

'don't you see, its this Anna girl, you jumped to her aid without a seconds hesitation' the voice in your head replies. 'i think you have a crush on her'

"I do not" you blurt out before covering your mouth. Oaken looks at you for a second with confusion before motioning for you to sit down. Once you do he looks at you and sighs, no longer looking angry, but more disappointed. "Y/N, you haven't even been here for one day and you have already assaulted one of my finest members of staff. Can you give me an explanation on why you would do this?" he asks, surprisingly not in an angry manner, almost as if you was having just a friendly chat over drinks. With every minor detail you explain to him why you decided that assaulting Hans was a good idea. The more you tell him the more eager he is to hear the ending and why you think it was a good idea. "and the next thing I know I had turned around and punched him square in the face, I have never seen someone hit the ground so fast. It was almost like a sack of potatoes been dropped on the ground, do I regret hitting him? No I do not, not the way he was treating Anna, he deserved what I did and then some" you finish and look up to see oaken listening to you intently, hands on his chin and nodding at you.

"well I think I have heard everything I need to hear Y/N, while I do not agree with you assaulting him during work hours I have this to say"

'this is it, this is where I lose it all' you think grimly while looking down at your feet, waiting for the inevitable.

"Thank you" you look up eyes wide 'did he just thank me for hitting Hans?!'

"I have been wanting to do that myself ever since the smug little man walked in one day, thinking he was untouchable, but I guess you have beaten me to it" he smiles at you before standing up and offering his mammoth sized hand to you. Cautiously you take his hand in yours in a firm handshake, although with Oakens strength you don't think he realised you was crushing your possibly broken hand, now remembering about your hand you instantly pull back, holding onto your wrist with your other hand, trying to subside the pain. "Oh dear I am so sorry" he looks to you remorsefully. Carefully taking your wrist in his hand he looks at you "May I?"

You nod slowly as you watch him look over your hand, aside from nearly crushing it with his handshake just a minute ago he is now carefully looking it over. After a couple of minutes he nods to himself and then nods to you. "Must've been a hell of a punch you threw, you haven't broken anything but I'm very surprised you didn't, its just severely bruised. A couple of days and your hand will be back to how it was"

Not sure what to do you nod your head and smile "I just need to know sir, what about my job? I cant possibly be still hired here after what I've done, even if he did deserve it I still assaulted a man on work premises" Scratching his massive chin with one of his hands he seems to ponder this. "this is true Y/N, and I know you have just got here, so I will go easy on you." he seems to think for a minute. "I want you to go home and come back in two days, make it look like you're on suspension, no pay of course wink wink" you smile at this, your heart lifting slowly "but I also want you to take Anna home today as well, the poor girl has been tonight a lot today, and tomorrow I will make sure she knows not to come in, she deserves a rest"

This confuses you slightly, after this morning you was under the impression that Oaken disliked Anna as much as, if not more, the rest of the staff on this floor. "Oaken, I'm sorry if I am intruding but after what I saw this morning, I assumed you wasn't Annas biggest fan" at hearing this he processes your words in his head before replying. "this is true, but I might as well tell you because it does seem Anna has taking a liking to you, and so have I. I am Annas uncle, and have been keeping a close eye on her for the past five years. Why I have been doing this I am afraid it is not my place to tell you but Annas" sadness fills his eyes and a lone tear escapes his eye before he quickly wipes it away. "Promise me this Y/N, I have a feeling that you and Anna are going to get a lot closer than you would think, but today is the first time anybody has ever stood up for her, let alone attacking her bully, she has taken a keen interest in you, even after just a few hours I can see that, look after her please. I have tried to intervene with what goes on here but the stubborn girl has always told me to stay out of it, even when she is at her worst she is still thinking about others" he chuckles to himself "but what you did today has hopefully shown her that she doesn't have to do this alone, and I hope I can rely on you to make sure that she doesn't" he stands up now, holding his other hand out for you to shake with your non injured hand, which you happily accept.

"now go" he motions to the door with a nod of his head. You nod back before turning to leave when you feel a hand on your shoulder. "although I hate to have to say this I need to say it, please do not assault Hans again during work hours, I can protect this once but that is it. After today if you assault him again I will have to have you removed from Arendelle Industries, permanently, even if it would hurt Anna as well" Realising the risk he is making just for you so you can help Anna makes you respect the man more than you thought possible. You nod solemnly before walking out of his office. 'holy shit how did you manage that!' the voice in your head asks, flabbergasted.

Walking out you see all eyes on you again, ignoring them you walk over to your desk and begin to pack everything up. Looking to your side you see Anna looking at your surprised that you're actually still here. "hi" you smile at her. "hi, hi me?" she asks bewildered, shocked you would even talk to her still after she feels that she lost your your job. "Oh, um hi" she shyly smiles, lifting one of her hands and waving wildly at you. You lean into her ear and whisper "I spoke to Oaken, I know he is your uncle, he respects me for what I have done for you today" she looks at you mouth agape, unsure what to say if anything at all 'she looks so cute when she does that' you think to yourself before blushing slightly. "but I have to go for a few days, let everything settle down, and he has asked me to take you home today, and told me to tell you not to come in tomorrow as well, and I have still got my job, I just can't hurt Hans during work hours" you smile at this, realising that Oaken has to keep you under control while under his supervision, but once work hours are over. Hans is practically open season.

She looks up to you now, grinning from ear to ear. Nodding her head so fast you think it may fall off she jumps up grabbing what she needs off her desk before grabbing your good hand and running out of the office dragging you with her.

Stood in the elevator next to her feels like an eternity, neither one of you want to say anything and ruin the silence, not a bad silence, a comfortable and content one. Once out the elevator you both walk out of the building, neither of you realising you are still holding hands, you both also don't realise you're thinking the exact same thing. 'is it possible to fall in love with someone you have only known for a day?'

AN: Hello people! I know I said it would be Thursday or Friday I would update I couldn't help myself, I have so many ideas at the moment I want to get it all down before I lose it and depress myself. So yeah here we go another chapter done, and I will see you in a couple of days!
