The Assistant

Chapter Twenty Seven

"Happy Birthday!" eveyone cheered and clapped there hand's as confetti was thrown and a cake with firey hot candles was brought into the room.

The first of October, Mr Han's birthday. I smiled as I watched as he thanked eveyone as they handed him he's gifts and blew out he's candles but, he wasn't offended by it frankly Mr Han was supposed to be very far away from smoke since he's got a lung problem.

Hard to believe that even at he's young age he suffers with atshma since he was a child but, there wasn't exactly anything he could do about it except use he's inhaler and be away from smoke or anything that would trigger he's atshma.

"Thank you everyone, I really appreciate it" It warmed my heart to see him so happy, most of the time he held a very serious and stern expression considering the stress he was currently under but, seeing how happy he is even if it's just for today was enough to ease my worries about him over working himself.

I held onto my gift for him, I was standing at the back of everyone waiting to for space so I could move to hand over he's gift I had gotten him, I tired my best to wrap it without damaging the product but, it was so damn hard!

Normally I'd get gifts that were pre-wrapped but, I decided I'd try wrapping my own gifts which clearly was a mistake. Some of the wrapping paper was standing up and the tape wasn't exactly sticking onto the wrapping paper anymore.

So much for a neat gift.

I watched as he unwrapped he's gifts carefully not tearing the wrapping paper, I was way too impressed with the things that they were giving him Alcohol, New suites, diamond watches; and all I had was a terrible wrapped box.

Before it got to my turn to give him he's gift I swiftly turned away before he could see me and bolted out the door "Oh man I can't give him this he'll think I took this out the trash" I walked up and down in a panic before everyone exited he's office.

"Honey, you know he's waiting for you inside he's office" one of the employees told me, I wasn't exactly sure as to who it was that was speaking to me her eyes were very dark and her hair was a very bright shade of blonde that rested on her shoulder.

I nodded my head putting my hand on her shoulder for reassurance "I know I just want a better present, I think mine is kinda basic and boring considering the stuff you guys got him since the day is still early I could probably run away quickly" she smiled warmly at me "I'm sure whatever you give him he'll love it" I retreated my hand from her shoulder as she walked away back to doing her work.

I sighed solely not knowing if I should just walk in and give him my gift or get him a better one, I walked over to Rob the one person I could talk to at a time like this and because he's the closest to me and I don't really wanna bother Victoria since she's probably working hard right now.

"Rob I have an emergency" I wishpered into he's ear as he was typing away at his computer "If your underwear is wet then I can cover you for a few minutes but, I won't promise he'd look for you-" "What the hell no! I need your advice on something" I slapped the back of he's head as a groan was heard from him.

He turned to face the toruous wrapped gift I held tightly in my hands "Ew what is that?" my hand came crashing hard once again down on he's head "It's my gift for Mr Han" "Sweetheart, that man is your boyfriend; I should be calling him that not you, you can call him by he's name" "Not helping!"

Rob sighed before he gently took the gift from my hands "It's a rather small box let's not mention the wrapping but, it looks pretty cute; what's inside?" a small smile tugged at my lips as the feeling of confidence overflowed my body.

"I got him cologne"

"Why?"

"What else am I supposed to get the man who can buy everything?"
