He places it all down on the table.

Right there.

Another winning hand...

His luck is almost divine... Makes one wonder if he's cheating or not.

But he isn't. Never... Jackson Oswald is an honest man... Sometimes brutally so.

Which... Was how I was right back to where I had been before. By his side, serving him a glass of red wine. My eyes lingering in his attractive form. His eyes focusing on his cards and the opponents.

He looks so... At ease.

Meanwhile here I am, blushing as I quietly fixate on his...

MICHEAL! Focus... Focus Micheal.

His hand slowly brings his empty glass back to my tray as I promptly turn to go and refill it...

His fingers release the beautiful wine glass. And for a moment, my heart drops seeing it not fall perfectly onto my tray...

It slices quickly through the air before colliding with the wooden floor of his private gambling room...

The glass shards scatter from one another, and all I can seem to do is stare in shock. The others at Jack's table watch me like I'm insane in the mind, but Jack himself never moves his eyes from his deck...

"Micheal? Are you alright?"

"Yessir. Sorry, I must have missed the glass..."

"..."

"I'll clean it up right away, sir."

With that out of my mouth and into the air, I scurry away and soon return with a broom and dustpan. Sweeping the bits and pieces of the broken wineglass into the dustpan, I sigh.

Then I toss the obliterated thing away in the trashcan and stop to wonder how I could have been so stupid...

"Micheal, I'll call you in when I need you."

"Excuse me sir?"

"I said, I'll call you in when I need you again."

"... Yessir." I grumble out my final reply before turning and trudging out the door to attend to business elsewhere...

Did I really mess up that bad?

... Perhaps he's simply just busy...

Or maybe he's masking pent up rage for me moving out. He's like that, quite often actually.

I simply sigh as my feet walk me towards Jack's office to file his papers like the good little assistant I am.

Just...
An assistant.
