Sorry that this is late!

Previously, you've seen the backstories of both Shiro and Laxus. Now, on to the main story. What has happened to Laxus Dreyar now that he owns his grandfather's company? and more importantly, will Laxus and Shiro's lives ever intertwine? (answer: Obviously, because otherwise why would they even be in the same story? The better question is:) How will Laxus and Shiro's lives intertwine, when one is an American business man and the other is a Japanese servant to a demon?

Laxus Dreyar

"What? You're quitting?" I raise my eyebrows in surprise. "Why?"

"I can't stand you!" my secretary yells, her fists trembling in anger. "You work me way too hard!"

"Well, that's your job. You knew it would be tough when I hired you, so why ..."

"Laxus!" Mira, my girlfriend, scolds from the front door to my office. She must have used her status as my girlfriend to enter my office.

"What?"

"We're breaking up."

"This is so not my day," I grumble to myself. "Alright, explain. Both of you."

"You expect too much!" They both cry out.

"One at a time. Ms. Heartfillia," I snap, roughly, "What do you mean? Is there some sort of flaw in the way I operate the company?"

"No, just in how you treat people!" my secretary scowls, "The undue expectations, the brisk attitude, the huge workloads!"

I didn't understand. I was paying all my workers a fair amount for their hard work, so why ...?

"You work yourself too hard too!" Mira huffs, puffing out her cheeks, "It's all about work, the job, and you never make time for me."

"Man, workaholic much?" my secretary snarks.

I sit down at my desk, "Fine, Ms. Heartfillia, your 2-week notice has been acknowledged. Please return to your work. When the two weeks are over, if you haven't changed your mind, you will be free to find new wo-"

"No!" My secretary disagrees. "I can't stand another minute with you. I'm leaving now."

I regard her for a second. "Fine. You will not get the final paycheck you would have gotten if you had stayed. What I owe you for this week's worth of work will be in your bank account. Have a good day, Ms. Heartfillia."

"Dang it! Call me Lucy. Don't keep me at arm's length, you jerk!" With that, my secretary, ex-secretary, storms out and slams the door.

Could I really do this without a secretary? I was working to the bone to make Grandpa proud, and the last thing I needed was more work on my plate. As I try to collect myself, Mira walks to the front of my desk.

"Yes, Mira?"

She slaps me. "You jerk." She answers, crying.

Pure panic fills me as her tears run silently down her face. What would Grandpa do?
