The Assistant

Chapter Twenty Three

"And that's pretty much it, she threatened me and to be honest I am scared" Mr Han looked at me longingly he pushed a strand of hair behind my ear "All your worries will disappear because, nothing bad will ever happen to you again" I smiled warmly at him "Realy?" I said as if I were a child getting candy.

"Yes, because you're no longer going to be working for my company anymore" my heart stopped, my eyes grew wide and my hands began to shake. I looked at him wondering if he was being serious but, he's facial expression didn't change. "You can't be serious" he's face grew darker as he stood up, he's back facing me.

"The last thing I want is for you to get hurt, Mr Addison may be locked up but, if he's assistant is threatening you to leave your job maybe it's for the best"

"Why don't I file a case against her? So she gets locked up as well?" "There's no evidence against it" "I can get evidence" "Enough!-"

The room was quiet, I didn't dare speak Mr Han raised he's voice at me and I was scared. He turned around, he's eyes was icy there was no warmth or compassion in them. It was heart aching my eyes became watery as a tear escaped my eye "A-are you firing me?" I looked at him tears streaming down my face.

He's eyes soften as he stared at me, he wrapped he's arms around me embracing me warmly; he patted my head calming me down as my tears stained he's shirt "I'm not firing you, I'm just scared you get caught up in something that puts you in danger"

I shook my head rubbing my face against him "I don't care if I get put in danger, I love my job and I love you too, if leaving this job is what you want then-" I pulled away from him staring at him dead in the eye "Then you'll loose me too"

He's eyes widened "What are you saying, Y/N will you really leave me?" "This job is the reason I got to know you, how I found you and another reason why I love you so, if you fire me you'll loose me"

Mr Han sighed as he embraced me again "I won't fire you I'm just scared you get hurt, when you were left alone in the building with a bomb I was terrified something would happen to you. I love you Y/N and loosing you would be hell"

I took he's hand and looked him in the eyes "Whatever the danger whatever the trouble, I will protect you and you will protect me, there's nothing in this world that will keep me away from you" He smiled at me "I couldn't of said it better".

He moved he's face forward closing the gab between us as he placed he's lips in mine, kissing me passionately. We stayed like that for a while, holding each other letting all the frustration and anger the worry and the fear blow away as we cooled down.

A short while later we realized it was pretty late and Mr Han wouldn't let me go home so late so I stayed the night "What would you like for supper?" he asked as I sat down on the couch "Anything is fine, I'm not a very picky eater" he smiled at me as he called for he's chief to cook us something to eat.

"It won't be long until we can eat, what would you like to drink?" "What are my options?" "How about a glass of wine?" I smiled at him as the excitement of having a glass of liquor with him showed on my face "Red wine it is" I watched as he left the room going to retrieve the alcohol.

I was very unfamiliar with he's house, it was big and I didn't dare explore. After some time Mr Han returned with a bottle of red velvet wine and two wine glasses, he set them down on the glass table, popping the cork with a cork opener poured himself and I a glass.

"Here you go" he said as he handed me my glass "Thanks" I said as I took a sip of the red liquid, my eyes wondered around the room and I spotted he's piano "Can you play?" I questioned as he tilted he's head confounded by what I was referring too.

I extended my hand out to point at the musical instrument, he's eyes lit up as he now realized what I was asking of him "I can but, I'm very rusty" he said as he took a sip from he's glass "Oh come on pretty please will you play something for me?" I asked giving him the best puppy dog eyes I could make.

I wasn't sure if he that had truly convinced him but he sighed and pulled he's tie loose since he had he's work attire on. He walked over towards the paino and took a seat on the mini chair that was seated at the perfect angle, I followed him standing next to him as he set he's glass on the piano putting a coster under it making sure to not spill the liquid and making a mess.

He set he's fingers on the keys and exhaled right before he began playing a beautiful piano piece, I listened intently at how he played, he's fingers danced on the keys making a beautiful melody filling the room with he's song.

Not long after he had finished, he rubbed the nape of he's neck and looked at me "Pretty rusty I know" I shook my head "Not at all" I was confused why he would think that was rusty he played it so well "You played brilliantly" "That's a little too much, I made a few mistakes" "I heard none of them"

I placed my wine glass on the glass table before making my way to Mr Han taking a seat next to him "Play me another" "Why not you play me a song?" "I can not play piano I can only play guitar" "Electrical?" "Acoustic" I grazed my fingers on the piano admiring the white and black keys.

"When did you learn to play piano?" "When I was five, my mother had me doing lessons after school" "Did you enjoy it" he looked at the piano as he too grazed he's finger tips on the keys "I did like to play but, my love for it had fanished once I was forced to play it everyday, if I wasn't studying I was practicing until I broke my index finger to convince my mother to not let me play" I was in shock "You broke your finger just so you wouldn't have to play, why didn't you tell your mother you didn't want to play anymore?" "She never listened to me"

The room grew quiet "After my father passed away she stopped listening to me, she stopped listening to anyone" I stayed quiet, I knew Mr Han's father had passed away I was just unfamiliar as to how and why; I didn't dare pry too much into the topic so instead I pressed down on random keys creating a very lumbery sound.

"This sounds horrible" no hesitation, he flat out insulted me "Hey! at least I'm trying to play" he's lips curled up and he laughed, I watched as he smiled sweetly at me. I moved closer to him placing a soft kiss on he's cheek before getting up from the piano.

"Do you smell that?" I asked as he smelled the air "Indeed I do, supper is ready" he got up from he's seat and took my hand "Hungry?"

I smiled at him giggling to myself "Absolutely starving
