His Assistant

Chapter 1~Greetings

Harper^

"Must you always satisfy my needs darling".

"Yes, ma'am. If it weren't for you i would be back at my old ways, drinking alcohol and looking like and old rag." She shivered at the thought.
never again had she wanted to be in that town again. The people there always knew how to ruin a poor persons life.

"Well if you insist, but it would make me feel much better if you would get and apartment of your own. And go to this meeting with me i need someone i can trust to handle my paperwork and belongings."

Mrs. Milliard was always a steady worker she might've been old but that never stopped her. Mrs. Milliard found Harper on one of her businesses trips to Detroit, Michigan. Mrs. Milliard had a stubborn family member who wouldn't agree to one of her profits. On her way back to the airport she found Harper in an alley and wasn't at all shocked. She felt a little bit of pity for the girl, Mrs. Milliard knew it wouldn't do any good taking to the girl to the hospital so she took her with, back too New York. She never knew the young girl could make her billions. Now here she is as her assistant, Harper was one of a kind and Mrs.Milliard could never repay her for what she's done.

Harper thought Mrs.Milliard had been a miracle, after being drugged and beaten then left on the side of the road she thought that was the end of the line. When she woke up healed and in clean clothes and new surroundings she thought it was heaven, maybe it was after all Harper worked for a billionaire, she saw this as a new beginning like a new wire had been handed to her and was fresh and strong, unlike her old one that broke the moment she was left in that alley. Harper could never repay Mrs.Milliard enough for what she had done.

Go on a trip with Mrs.Milliard? I wouldn't know what to do. I've never left this town with her before. How astonishing would this be, all the sites she would see. Its ver-

"Harper dear?" Mrs.Milliard broke her out of her thoughts, concerned was written  over the middle aged woman's face.

"Oh im sorry, Mrs. Yes it would be and honour to go with you, although i wouldn't exactly know what to do"

Harper never wanted to disappoint Mrs. Milliard only make her happy and hope she wouldn't take her back to that town again. What if i ruin this trip? She thought.

"Its alright dear, ill be with you the whole time all i ask is you carry your own small little bag of things you would like to take, and organize my paperwork for the meeting. Its simple, nothing you could do can make this go wrong. Trust me"

This made Harper feel slightly better.
"Mrs. Milliard when will this trip be, and where, also how long?" Surely it couldn't be that soon she thought.

"Two days we will leave, the trip will be a week and Harper , we are going to Italy." Mrs. Milliard left her office to her room after her statement, she knew Harper will need a short while to breathe and think this over, but she was confident that Harper would assist her in this short trip.

"Oh dear, my oh my. Im in a pickle, why so soon. How important could this Trip be?" Harper too left to her room, if it was two days she was leaving in she better start packing.

Harper decision  was made and Mrs. Milliard had caught on with the cameras, all around the house she was able to keep and eye on Harper .

"Are you ready Harper ?"

"J****! Mrs. Milliard you startled me, well yes i am certainly ready. Do you have any idea what the time will be when we arrive?"

Indeed Mrs. Milliard  knew sneaking up upon Harper would awaken her nerves, this was a small goal of hers. She had only been trying to prepare her little Harper for what was to come along this trip.

Mrs. Milliard  cleared her throat and spoke. "Eleven p.m, I'd advise once we arrive at the hotel you go straight to bed, we have a long day tomorrow your gonna need the rest."

Again Mrs. Milliard  terrified Harper . Ten hours on a plane would definitely be nerve wrecking, but worst of all riley had to meet Mrs. Milliard family.

They both arrived at the airport around noon, the luggage had already been sent to Rome, Italy the night before.

"Please Harper would you quit that, how about reading a book or start organizing my paper work. My first set needs to be done by Tuesday and the rest will need to be done by Thursday. I advise you start now so tomorrow we could have a couple of hours to do site seeing. Wouldnt that sound pleasant"

Harper only nodded in response to her bosses statement, a book would do her no good. But some organizing could possibly work.

By the time the plane landed Harper finished Half of the stack, at this pace she could be done by tomorrow morning around noon. Mrs. Milliard told me i should get some rest but this business meeting is rather much more important Harper thought.

Mrs. Milliard kept rambling on an on about how excited she was for me to meet her family but Harper payed no mind, her thoughts wondered off as she focused on the world outside of this window. Italy couldn't be that bad.

Mrs. Milliard and her split ways once in the hotel, Harper was on the thirteenth floor and Mrs. Milliard  was on the fifteenth.

"Get a good nights rest sweetheart we leave at one. Be ready by then."

"Yes ma'am." Harper hated lying to the women but its best for now. She had been almost half way through the second half of the first stack when her head started bobbing and her eyes started drooping. The clock read 1:45 a.m.

"I guess now is a good time to stop" she said. "Ill finish tomorrow."

As she put away the papers that had been scattered across her bed, she realized how much of a mistake this was and she would pay the consequences tomorrow.

"Goodnight Mrs. Milliard " she whispered.

"Goodnight Harper "
Mrs. Milliard  replied, still in her room, she just managed to keep a close watch on Harper .
