The Assistant

Chapter Thirty Five

"Ladies and gentlemen enjoy the show" cheers and apluase was heard from ear to ear as many of the models today walked down the red carpet that was outside; it was supported by a small stage big enough for profomances and what not.

As the extremely beautiful models walked down the run way with their amazing outfits that was made and picked out by our company; I was practically hyperventiling at the back stage "Are you alright?" Liam had asked me, I was so happy to see him today since I thought Mr Mason came alone "Define alright"

Liam cracked a giggle as he patted my head and rubbed my back as a means to comfort me from this very stressful situation "You'll do fine, have you decided what song you'll be singing" I looked at the very bright and very organized tablet Liam was holding.

From my prospective just merely reading what was on the device had confused the hell out of me but, Liam on the other hand was handling it like a professional.

"There, you'll all set just click or type the song you'd like to sing and I'll get the instamentel for you" "Is there a way I could perhaps lip sync a song instead?" I asked fluttering my eyelashes in hopes he'd give pitty on me.

"Hmm nope there's no way and plus, I'd love to hear you sing" I sighed in defeat knowing there's no possible way of getting out of this, I clicked on a song I knew out of my head and have sang a bunch of times only in the shower when absolutely no one could possibly hear me.

"Titanium by David Guetta the one featuring sia?" I nodded my head "That's the one" he tapped some buttons on he's deceive and told me to stand by the curtain; I was next up since all the models walked off the stage "Y/L!" "What's wrong?" I asked scared something horrible might of happened.

"It's the speakers they aren't working, I think it might of been a error in the system"

Great, I'm really freaking unlucky

To my utter misfortune I can't even have them blast the speakers so it would of been hard for them to hear me "You're going to have to sing acapella" "What no I can't!" "Y/N there's no choice, it's either you sing or not and do you really want to disappoint Mr Han; he's probably in the crowd now waiting impatiently for you.

I sighed, he was right no matter how I look at it this it's all for Hiroto so if I back out now I'd be letting down both Mr Mason and Hiroto "Alright I'll go" Liam nodded he's "I'll give you the signal and you're good to go" I gave him a thumbs up as I stood still waiting for him.

"Aren't they absolutely stunning, ladies and gentlemen our closing act will be a song sung by a beautiful women give a warm welcome to our singer for today Miss L/N!"

Liam gave me a thumbs up signaling me it was time for me to go, I took in a deep breathe before stepping on the stage. My legs were weak and my arms grew heavily I felt myself swallow my voice with every gulped I took.

I smiled at everyone looking around for one person in particular until I spotted him Hiroto he's face was shocked, it looked as if he'd seen a ghost once our eyes met.

"Hello eveyone, I'm Miss Y/N L/N and I'll be singing for everyone Titanium by Dave Guetta" I smiled as people clapped their hands and waited in anticipation for me.

There was no music for me to start with, no melody to nod my head to; no beat I can sing along with. It was just me and my voice.

I inhaled a deep breath before letting it out through my nose, I held the microphone in my hand closing my eyes calming myself down before I start "You shout it out, but I can't hear a word you say"

Everyone was quiet as I sang, not a word was said it was complete and utter silence the only noise to be heard was my voice "I'm talking loud not saying much"

I sang on and watched as everyone gave me their undivided attention, Hiroto eye's never once blinked he was probably too afraid if he did he'd miss even the tiniest glimpse of me.

"I'm bullet proof nothing to loose fire away, fire away ricochet you take your aim, fire away fire away"

Confidence overwhelmed me as I sang louder getting closer and closer to my absolute favorite part of the song "You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium, you shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium!" cheers were heard amongst everyone as I sang.

It wasn't long before I sang the song finished, eveyone clapped their hands together some even whistled for me "That was absolutely incredible you have such an amazing voice your vocal skills are out of this world, where did you learn to sing like that?"

I felt heat rush to my cheeks as eveyone was now staring at me even more; I felt nervous under all that pressure "O-oh I just sing for fun, this is probably the first time I sing infront of such a big audience" The man gasped before he continued to speak "You're so gifted and naturally talented!"

I laughed nervously not knowing if I should be leaving or staying on stage, just when I was about to make a casual exit he suddenly whispered in my ear "I'd like to have a talk with you once I'm done up here" I looked at him in the eyes, he's smile turned into a smirk as I began walking off the stage.

Have I gotten myself into trouble?

"You did so well" Liam said before engulfing me into a hug "You sang beautiful Miss Y/L" I smiled at Mr Mason for the compliment, their words gave off a warm fire in my heart.

"May I have a moment with you?" I jerked my head to the oh so familiar voice who was now pointing at me Mr Mason and Liam left Hiroto and I all alone, just the two of us.

"So uh how did I-" before I could even finish my sentence Hiroto pressed he's lips against mine causing me to slightly stumble back loosing balance, Hiroto noticed my clumsiness and caught me before I ended up falling.

He parted from my lips looking at me in eyes, he's eyebrows were frowned at me yet he's eyes were sparkling with administration "I'm so angry at you I could kiss you" I started unblinking at him confused by he's manner "You just did!"

Hiroto licked he's lips before wrapping he's arms around my waist hugging me, I returned he's embrace holding him ever so tightly before releasing him; just before he had completely lifted he's head he stopped right by my ear.

"You will be punished for your disobedience and foul play of lies today"

Gulp.
