The Assistant

Chapter Thirty four

"You took longer than an hour" I gulped knowing the amount of trouble I was in with Hiroto "I'm really sorry I got so lost after Vincent left me" he let out a sigh before patting my head "Where did you go?" I felt my heart beat faster; I knew I was about lie to both my boss and my boyfriend, I wouldn't dare dream of lying to him or betraying him for that matter but, in a situation like this I have no choice it was a surprise for him so I guess a little lie won't hurt him and plus I'll apologize to him later.

"I just met some boss that was interested in knowing what happened durring the whole bomb situation" he stared at me not fully convinced by my statement but, he knew better to ask me more questions about it since he trusted me wholeheartedly.

"If anyone asks questions about that, and or makes you uncomfortable please don't be afraid to tell them you don't want to answer and if not come talk with me, I don't want unnecessary people bothering you about that" I nodded my head at him "Alright"

Currently we were sitting outside with eveyone, the garden farms looked marvelous it set a good mood amongst eveyone. I was sitting at a table with Hiroto and another boss who joined him; I wasn't aware of who he was exactly but, he did seem to know Hiroto well.

"It's a shame Mason isn't here, he would of loved this place" I jumped almost with the mention of Mr Mason "I could of sworn he said he was coming" I adverted my eyes from both the men talking to each other not wanting to be in this conversation.

"Miss L/N, have you perhaps seen him here today yet?" I'm so unlucky today aren't I? "N-no I have not" I said still not looking at them, I felt Hiroto nudge my arm as a means to catch my attention since I was technically avoiding him right now.

"Is something wrong?" I looked at him smiling genuinely "Everything is fine" I said before taking a sip of the champagne we were serviced by the butlers at this establishment.

I checked my F/C watch and noticed I had exactly five minutes left before I had to go to Mr Mason to give him my answer in fact I was nervous; in one hand I could sing and maybe pull it off if I beg someone to let me lip sync or I could model with heels and have a very high chance of falling flat on my face!

Ugh

But then again, I'd be doing this for Hiroto.

It wasn't even funny how tired and stressed he looked ever since we got to he's mother's house; the situation on itself is stressful enough so having him worry about every microscopic thing. Regardless if I'd try and reason with him it wouldn't of worked out because well, he's just as stubborn as I am.

"Hey I'm going to use the restroom" I said to Hiroto before getting up "Alright, don't take too long I think the modeling is about to start" I nodded my head before I walked off into the direction I came in.

"What an assistant you have" Mr Harwell said while taking a sip of he's champagne "I got lucky" Hiroto said watching as the other guests walked around and gathered at tables talking "Was she hurt durring the bomb incident?" Hiroto nodded he's head before looking back at him.

"Her arm"

"Broke?"

"Fractured"

"Ouch"

Mr Harwell smiled as he chugged the last remaining liquor in he's glass "You know they were tearing you apart, hateful comments; bad mouth murmur" Hiroto nodded he's head "I'm well aware of how people speak, I know about my rumours" he sighed "There's no secret that Miss L/N and yourself are in a relationship and not the friendly kind, the romantic kind"

They stayed quiet for a while before talking again "Are you sure she will stay, she's definitely not like the others you had who stole fame, money, your name, reputation-" Hiroto sighed cutting Mr Harwell off "Should I go on?"

Hiroto shook he's head before taking another sip of he's champagne emptying he's glass "I know what happened in the past and I look forward to my future with her, you're right she's not like the other's that were after something or needed something in return to whatever I ask of her. She's loyal and trustworthy" "But she's in danger around you" Hiroto remained silent knowing exactly where this conversation was going.

"You know one day she'll face the truth behind the unruly part of her job, what it truly means to be the bosses number one assistant" "..."

Mr Harwell sighed before getting up "When the time comes know that things will escalate more than it has already and she may leave, have you asked her to be prepared for that; has she sworn to stay by you" Hiroto stayed quiet collecting he's thoughts

"I have hope in the absence of a promise"

He sighed before giving him a closed eye smile "I'll leave you be then" he said before he walked away leaving Hiroto alone with he's thoughts.

°°°
"You took your sweet time" I bowed my head at Mr Mason before speaking "I'm sorry, it took a whole for me to find this place again without the help of Vincent" "Vincent?" he questioned confounded by the name I had mentioned.

"Yes Vincent the butler you told to come and get me" "Oh!" Mr Mason said as if the dead light bulb above he's head switched on by the mention of that male "I just pulled some random bulter and asked him find you, I'm surprised he found you that quickly too" I nodded my head before speaking again "I've made up my mind on what I'll do"

Mr Mason smiled from ear to ear hearing that I've finally made up my mind "Well?"

I sighed before looking him right in the eye.

"I'll sing"

Mr Mason's eyes widened by my choice "I for sure thought you were going to model" "W-why would you think that?" Mr Mason rubbed he's chin with he's index finger collecting he's thoughts before answering "No reason"

I tilted my head in confusion as to why he couldn't tell me when there's obviously a clear reason "Anyway, follow me the shows about to start" "You mean the modeling right?" "Exactly"

I took in a deep breath mentally preparing myself for when I sing infront of literally everyone-

No pressure at all.
