Belle sat on the cushioned chair in front of the desk. Mr. Gold, absorbed in his paperwork, refused to glance up to see his assistant waiting for him.
Well, she wasn't really his assistant, she showed up one day helping out around the shop, and she has done so much work for him, he had to pay the peculiar girl. She refused the money, and instead asked for the old leather-bound books he kept in the back of his shop. Though he couldn't pay her, she couldn't stop him from drastically lowering her rent or hiding a generous amount of money in the books before handing them over to her.
"Mr. Gold? Hello?" She waved a blue pen in his face, and he swatted her hand away. "They're waiting for you."
He tried hard to ignore her. Ever since she came into his shop, there had been little work done on his part. She was a distraction keeping him from actually working, hence the late nights of work and scotch. "Who is waiting for me?" He gritted his teeth, and held his own pen with a death grip.
