The Assistant

Chapter Thirty nine

"You've got some major explaining to do" "Oh look who the cat dragged in" Aurora stood in Rob's office room placing down the coffee she made for herself

"Look I don't want to reveal his identity because, I don't want things to get out of hand or word to spread" "Which is why I need to know, do you realize how sketchy you sound right now?" Aurora was furious at him; Rob was someone she would always talk to but; now he was completely throwing her under the bus.

She was upset no, more than upset. The pure fact Rob was dating some mysterious man didn't sit well with her.

Rob sighed as he set aside his paperwork as well as put down his office phone "I got the promotion" "I can see that, you've got your own office; congratulations" he nodded his head "We are both managers, and do you know what that means?" "No?" "We can both get away with murder!" "You're changing the topic!"

She sighed before finding a spare office chair and sitting down in front of him "Shouldn't you be working?" "I'm on a break right now so I've got time" he took a sip of the coffee she  prepared for herself and gawked at her unblinkingly "You're drinking my coffee" "It's my coffee now since you're bothering me while I work" she rolled her eyes at he's childishness.

Rob was like that sometimes, always willing to skip work and party but when it was serious he'd never cut corners and slack off he was also the first person who became her friend at work since he'd always gossip.

"It happened when you guys left for that premiere event and since I was in charge, some other bosses visited and of course I had to manage everything it had just so happened that Mr. Caddel who was looking for a job as a lawyer here for Mr. Han had taken a liking to me and you know he offered to meet up with me a few times after work sometimes during lunch breaks and well we started getting to know each other well and soon; it blossomed into a relationship," he said smiling ear to ear with hearts in his eyes.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing just now the name Aurora hated for so long had resurfaced and rung in her ear. "What did you say your boyfriend's name was again?" "Derek Caddel, he's pretty good looking"

Her heart stopped Aurora couldn't believe what her ears were hearing, it felt as if her lungs fell into her stomach "I-" "Miss Clark I need you in my office" Our heads jerked towards the sudden voice that called for me "I'll be with you in a minute I'd like to finish our conversation" she said looking at Rob who seemed unbothered by what was going on.

"Miss Clark I need you in my office immediately" she sighed before standing up and straightening her skirt "We'll continue this conversation later alright" he nodded his head before pulling out some more paperwork and continued to take calls.

"Please tell me this is a real emergency because something important had just come up" Hiroto raised his brow at my statement "What's so important then?" "Rob's new boyfriend"

He opened his office door and lead me inside "Is this person bad or?" "He might; but he's name is Derk Caddel and I hoped I wouldn't see him ever!" Hiroto's raised his eyebrows slightly hesitant as he opened the door to his private office "Miss Clark please step inside here"

She raised her eyebrow at the sudden change of voice he had 'Miss Clark'? Perhaps he had an important meeting and she'd forgotten so he's calling she formally but, his reaction towards every word she had said he seemed reluctant; he couldn't possibly be hiding anything from her.

She took in a deep breath before stepping inside the office, her eyes had widened to the size of sauces once they were met with a pair of familiar purple orbs "Oh my gosh Autora is that you?" the familiar male said walking towards them "Long time no see Derek" I smiled nervously

Her heart stopped once again, practically swallowed her throat as she gulped since he was now standing right in front of Hiroto and herself "It's been ages, how have you been?" Aurora smiled not aware of how to act around him "I-I've never been better"

Her nerves were sky high. What was the odd of him being here this very day as she just spoke about him; but what played in her head was what made him gay? Bisexual?

He smiled at her before pulling her into a hug, his arms wrapped around her body tightly for a few seconds or so before he let go "What are you doing here?" he let out a laugh before answering.

"isn't it obvious? I'm here to speak to Mr. Han about a job position" "Job position for what exactly?" "Well to be he's a damn good personal

"That's where I come in, I didn't know you two knew each other" Hiroto beckoned "Well we knew each other since we were in high school" she  said taking a step back "High school sweethearts if you may" Aura rolled her eyes at he's statement surprisingly; he didn't take note of it and continued to smile brightly at Hiroto.

They were never high school sweethearts quite the opposite; the dead relationship lasted for a while and the obvious happened, he cheated and well they broke up.

"Oh?" Hiroto looked surprised to hear this but intrigued at the same time "It would seem like you two have a lot to catch up on" "You're right" Derek said enthusiastically "Why don't you join us Aurora, Hiroto and I were about to have a lunch interview"

"That's not needed, I wouldn't want to be a disturbance to you guys" "Nonsense, join us Miss Clark" Hiroto insisted

There was no way she could have gotten out of that situation not coming along with them; Aurora could think of plenty other things than to have lunch with her boss/boyfriend and ex "Sure why not" her smile was as fake as knock off name brand.
