Emma came in to the office the next day in a very good mood.Everything is going well in all aspects of her life.Until she saw a piece of paper on her table.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!"Emma uttered loudly in shock upon reading the memo
"I don't know Em,I'm also confused when Victoria asked me to give that to,I think you should talk to Victoria about it"
***
"Em boss is calling you to her office"Emma stood up from her desk and rallied to her boss' office.
"V, what's this?a new assignment?I thought we've agreed that I'll remain with Rebecca until the end of the year what happened"
"That was the original plan but last night I wasn't expecting to get a call from Rebecca telling me how she wanted you to be Regina Mills assistant,she knows you can handle her.believe me I'm also thrown out of the blue by that call but I can't also deny that I agree with her 100%"
"Why didn't Rebecca told me? I was with her all day yesterday?"
"I don't know about that Em maybe she just also learned about it just last night"
"But why would she give way to her,it's not like they are...arghhh whatever"she whispered to herself.
"So what do you say about your new assignment?"Emma knows she doesn't have option,she can't quit her job because she doesn't want to be Regina's assistant.That job is paying her rent and provides her a high end living.
"Can't say no to the boss,when will I start?"Emma manage to fake a smile.
***
"Of all people why me?,why not Anna,Jasmine,Tamara or Tink why me?"Emma said moping.
"Em,haven't you realize among all of us who receive a sterling rating from clients,all of your past clients have given you five stars no one in the history of the Bureau has ever achieved that except for you"
"The hell with those stars if I've only known..."
"And besides sending you is a win win for the company Em come to think of it if any of those fiddle-footed whimsical dumdum will go,there will be chaos in paradise"
"Whatever,I need to talk to Rebecca first I need to know why she suggested me to be Regina's assistant"
"Rebecca is Regina's bestfriend that's why"Emma turned to face the person talking with her brows already raised and she saw it was Jacinda Vidrio.Jacinda smiled at Emma."Sorry for intruding I was on my way to see Victoria and I heard you guys talking and notice that you all are clueless so..."Emma cleared her throat"No Miss Jacinda it's okay,no biggie"
"Hmm who among you guys will be Regina's assistant?"Emma scratched her head and answer a very low"me".
"Oh,I see just a heads up Regina hates blonde you might wanna get your hair colored into something a bit more mmm... darker?"Emma's jaw dropped.
***
"Rebecca if you like your assistant that much why don't you get her back,I don't need you smooching around wherever I am and asking how she is doing everytime we meet"Regina said to her friend
"Oh god Gina,Emma is not just my PA she's a friend and I know out of all people in there she's the most ahmm likeable?"Regina rolled her eyes.
"I don't hire a PA because they're likeable, I wanted them to get the job done right.
"Yeah yeah yeah,whatever you say,what's taking Katherine so long"
"I heard my name,sorry guys we have last minute meeting with the directors and producers for our upcoming movie anyways what have I missed?"Katherine looked at Regina then Rebecca.
"Well we're talking about Reg's soon to be PA which is my PA"
"Huh?I don't get it what?"
"Kath you know Emma right you've met a couple of times"
"Yeah the blonde girl ofcourse she's adorable"Regina's eyes widen.
"Blonde?we've been talking for hours and you didn't mentioned to me that she's blonde?"Rebecca looked so confuse.
"Not that it matters"she answered.
"Gosh,Becs ofcourse it does I hate blondes they are all annoying and arrogant and wanna be socialite"
"Emma's not like that"Rebecca disagreed.
"You really think highly of her huh?"
"Ofcourse I know her and you don't,she's been by my side for years and she's far from those blonde's you say and where does that hatred for blondes coming from?"
"Goodness gracious Rebecca where have you been all this time haven't you remembered Nicolas?"
"The nerdy guy?"
"Yup,he and Reg used to date?"
"What?"Rebecca almost choke on her drink.
"Oh stop it Katherine it's all in the past"Rebecca shush Regina and urge Katherine to continue.
"Okay he cheated with Regina with a hot blonde chick from Chicago and and I'm sure you know Graham although technically that's not cheating because they weren't together almost but then another blonde girl came into the picture and baaamm they're engage and is getting married next month"
"How tragic"Rebecca gasped covering her mouth.
"You're overreacting stop it"
"But Reg I swear you'll like Emma she's not gonna robbed you away of your happy ending give her a chance"
"Becs is right Reg I've met her too and she's good at her job,you'll definitely like her"
"We'll see about that but Becs remember once you gave her to me you can't take her back except ofcourse if I won't like her"
***
Questions run on Emma's mind the entire day and it was about to end because she's meeting with Rebecca for a photoshoot at 3PM probably her last day of being her PA too.
"Becs...."Rebecca immediately cut her off.
"I know what you wanted to say and I first wanted to apologize for not telling you ahead"Emma then pouts.
"Uh,Reg I mean Regina is like a sister to me it may not be that obvious because she's not seen much in many of my parties but she is and I know you're the best person for the job"
"Yeah 😅 so I was told"
"I understand your apprehensions Em but Reg I mean Regina is not as bad as other people described her to be, yes it takes time for her to open up to people and they often misunderstood her as being stuck up diva but she's not"
You can't lie to me Becs,I've met Regina in person and she's far from being nice."We'll see about that Becs but it really doesn't matter to me what she is or who she is, her personal life,her issues is none of my business and you know I don't talk bad about my client behind their back"
"Miss Rebecca,Miss Regina is here she's looking for you"Emma suddenly felt nervous.
"Great timing,let's go Em I'm gonna introduce you to Regina"Emma can feel her body froze in place.
"Me?Now?"
"Yeah Is there any problem?"
"No"Emma lips curved into a smile but a few fold is visible on her forehead.
God help me
