You Melt My Heart

Episode 12

*Arissa's apartment*

*Arissa sits on her bed*

*Arissa is thinking of the story Liam told her*

So that is the real Zane Bolvio. It's quite hard to believe. He's heartbroken. Knowing what happened to Zane, I sort of pity him. But even if he's heartbroken, he's smart and should have enough conscience to know that I'm not his ex. I'll go to work tomorrow and see how he acts.

*Arissa sleeps*

*first day of being a personal assistant*

I got up early today because HQ was a littler farther than the florist department and I didn't want to be late. Also, I didn't want to get yelled at on my first day.

*Arissa arrives at HQ*

*Arissa knocks on Mr. Bolvio's office*

"Come in."

*Arissa takes a breath before entering*

"Good morning, Mr. Bolvio."

*Mr. Bolvio looks up from his papers and looks at Arissa's hands*

"Where is it?"

What was he talking about?

"Um, Mr. Bolvio, where is what?"

*Mr. Bolvio sighs*

"The breakfast. As my personal assistant, you should bring breakfast and lunch for me."

I didn't realize that was my job. I thought my job was to assist his work with him, not become his maid.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bolvio. I didn't bring it. But I will definitely bring you lunch. Is there anything I could do for you right now?"

*Mr. Bolvio listens then looks at his computer screen*

"Get me a cup of coffee from the downstairs coffee station. You have eight minutes, I have a meeting in ten."

*Arissa runs downstairs to get the coffee*

*Arissa slowly runs with the coffee in her hand and three minutes left*

*Arissa gets back to the office but Mr. Bolvio was gone*

*Mr. Bolvio left a sticky note*

*Arissa reads the note*

"You're late. Leave the coffee and go to my house. Take all buttoned shirts to be dried cleaned. Here's my address. 301 Oakwood Apartments. My code is 0707. Go see Harry Lintfil on the bottom level and tell him you're my assistant and need a car. You need to be back in one hour."

0707? Isn't that my birthday? Did he save his password to be my birthday? No way. We didn't even know each other in the past, there's no way. But does he really take me to be his maid and have his clothes dried cleaned?

*Arissa goes to Harry Lintfil and drove a rental car from HQ*

*Arissa arrives at Mr. Bolvio's apartment*

*Arissa punches in the passcode and entered*

*Arissa looks around his apartment*

Wow. Being the arrogant jerk he is, he keeps his home cleaned. Unless, he has someone clean it for him. Now, where are his buttoned shirts?

*Arissa walks into Zane's room*

*Arissa opens his closet*

"There it is."

*Arissa reaches for the hanger but it is too high*

"Why is it so high? Must be nice to be tall right now."

*Arissa tip toes and knocks off a box trying to reach for the clothes hanger*

"What is that?"

*Arissa picks up the box and a bunch of pictures fell out*

*Arissa looks through them one after another*

"Is this the girl Liam mentioned before? She's pretty."

*the pictures were old pictures of Zane and his ex-girlfriend and their happy moments*

*Arissa slightly smiles*

"I guess the cold-hearted Mr. Bolvio does know how to smile. He looks so happy in his pictures. I better put this back before he sees it."

*Arissa puts the pictures back in the box and puts the box back*

*Arissa leaves the apartment and takes all the buttoned shirts to the dry cleaner*

*one hour passes*

*Arissa goes back to the apartment to put the cleaned shirts back*

*ring* *ring*

"Who is calling?"

*Arissa checks her phone*

*Liam*

"Hello?

"Arissa, what are you doing this afternoon? Want to go out for lunch?"

*Arissa hesitated*

"Um, I can't. I have to pick up lunch for me and Mr. Bolvio."

"That's fine. We'll have dinner together then. I'll text you the restaurant."

*Liam hangs up*

"Wait..."

Not only do I have to pick up lunch for one brother, I have to have dinner with the other brother. My life is too chaotic.

*Arissa picks up lunch for Mr. Bolvio*

*Arissa goes back to HQ*

*Arissa walks to Mr. Bolvio's office*

*whispers* "Isn't that the girl that just became our CEO's assistant?" "How lucky." "She must have a catch." "Can our CEO really not see through her?" "She isn't even that pretty." "She must be doing it for money."

Do these people really think that I can't hear? I purposely left home so I wouldn't have to hear these things anymore. I guess I have bad luck everywhere I go.

*Arissa arrives at Mr. Bolvio's office*

*Arissa knocks*

"Come in."

*Arissa enters with the lunch in her hand*

*she puts the lunch on his coffee table in his office*

"Here is your lunch. It's a chicken salad, but I didn't know what dressing you wanted so I got you Ranch, Italian, and Thousand Island. I also got you a sweet tea and water. I didn't know which you preferred. Is there anything else I can do for you before I have my lunch break?"

*Mr. Bolvio gets up and heads over to the coffee table and couch*

*Mr. Bolvio sits and takes a look at the lunch*

"Not bad."

When he said that, my heart felt so relieved. I thought he was going to be high maintenance.

*Mr. Bolvio looks at Arissa*

"When is your lunch break?"

"It's in twenty minutes. Do you need me to do something for you?"

*Mr. Bolvio looks away*

"No. Go have your lunch. You need to be back by 2:00. I'm taking you somewhere with me. Make sure to bring a notepad and pen."

I was so surprised. This is the first time that Mr. Bolvio had spoken so normal to me. I was a little creeped out.

"Yes, sir."

*Mr. Bolvio opens the lunch and takes a sip of the sweet tea*

"You may leave now. Unless you want to eat lunch with me."

I couldn't believe it. Did...Mr. Bolvio just make a joke?

"No, thanks. I'll be leaving."

*Arissa takes her bag and leaves*
