Derek looked at the bags of luggage that were sitting in his room. Five. Five large bags. Most of this things. Those bags were overwhelming. It was so much at once. To come across the ocean. To stand in a place where you don't even understand most of they they were saying. To be an employee of one of the most powerful businessmen in the world. And of course, having to protect a seventeen year old that gave him a boner every time he looked at her. That was definitely a problem.

He threw his bags up on the bed with ease and unzipped him. He looked over at the large armoire in the corner of the room. Sofia had given him strict instructions to put his clothes in there. She also explained that she would clean his room and that his dirty clothes were to go in the bathroom. She felt like his mom. Maybe a little tougher version of his mom. But he could tell she was really a sweet woman underneath it all. Even as she glared and seethed at everyone. Derek looked up when he heard a knock on the door.

"So you're the new guy?" A man asked as he looked up.

"Derek..." Derek said as he stuck his hand out.

"Tony." Tony said as he shook his hand. "I'm basically the guy in charge when the boss isn't here. Which is often..." He said with a nod. "So, do you have any questions?" Tony asked as he stood there.

"Well... Not really, I guess." Derek said with a shrug.

"Well, you already know that you have to follow Ms. Grey where ever she goes..." Tony pointed out. "And I'm sure Sofia gave you the gist of how the house works. I hope she told you that dinner is at five. She gets a little crazy about that." Tony said with a laugh.

"I will keep that in mind." Derek said with a smirk. "So how many employees does Mr. Grey have?" Derek asked.

"Oh. Probably twenty. But you and I are the only ones that stay on the premises. The others are locals. Most have families at home." Tony explained.

"I see..." Derek said with a nod.

"Shit..." Tony said as he looked at his watch.

"What?" Derek asked quickly.

"It's time for the show." Tony said as he crossed Derek's room and opened the balcony door, stepping out.

"Show?" Derek asked as he followed him.

Both men stood there as Meredith opened the door and walked across the courtyard and toward the pool. Derek immediately felt his pants tighten as he looked down at her. The tiny black bikini she was wearing left very little to the imagination. His eyes followed her sculpted legs and he perfect ass. She threw her towel and sunglasses on a table to the side. Derek watched as she dove into the blue water gracefully. She came up for air at the other end. The sun shown on her honey colored hair as she wiped her face.

"Same time everyday." Tony said with a wink.

"Oh. I'm not really..." Derek trailed off as he forced himself to walk away.

"Ah... You're interested." Tony said with a nod. "And you aren't the only one." Tony said with a grin as he continued to stare. "She turns eighteen soon. There are a lot of people waiting for that."

"I'm not interested." Derek said as he walked into the room. Walking away was even harder than he thought it would be. "She's not my type."

"Meri is everyone's type." Tony said with a smile as he continued to watch.

"So how long have you been working here?" Derek asked as he pulled clothing out of one of the bags.

"Ten years." Tony said with a nod. "Started when I was nineteen."
