Emma think fast you have to get out of this place.Emma suddenly halt her thougt."wait why am I avoiding her again?,I don't owe her anything.Gosh I feel stupid.
"Em are you okay?you're talking to yourself"Rebecca snaps her fingers in front of Emma to get her attention."Come on"
***
"Reg hi! What's gotten into you that you decide to visit me on set"
"Sorry to dissapoint but I'm here for Quinn he is offering me a project so I came here to talk to him and I just wasted my time"Regina answered sounding a bit pissed off.
"Aren't you glad that you atleast get to see me?"Becs pulled Regina into hug.Regina's eyes then landed to a not so awkward blonde standing behind Rebecca looking like she's about to pass out.She wondered why she hasn't moved then she realize she's the one Rebecca is talking about.Blonde hair green eyes.
"So you're Emma?"Regina's low and husky voice gave Emma chills.
"Y-yes ma'am,I'm E-emma Swan"
"Swan, hmm"Regina raised an eyebrow.
Okay cut!Good job everyone
"I guess that's the last scene for the day Becs,the production team is telling everyone to pack up and call it a day"
"Brilliant I'm starving,why don't we all go and grab something for lunch"
"Uh Becs I better go ahead ahmm Ruby is picking me up she's asking me to accompany her to..ahmm to see a movie"
"Liar, Ruby is with Victoria attending a meeting so I there is no way you two are seeing a movie"
"Woah you Rebs sometimes I think a stalker?"
"Oh shush let's go"Rebecca said grabbing Emma.

They arrived at a five star Italian Restaurant a few blocks away.Upon entering a couple of staffs welcomed them and lead them to their table.The waiter was already waiting for them at their table to take their order.
"Good afternoon ladies,thank you very much for coming here it's our honor to have a very famous person to eat at the restaurant"the waiter said.Regina only nodded and proceed to reading the menu.The waiter left as soon as he got the orders.
"So Reg how are you?"Rebecca asked trying to break the silence and Regina looked weirded by her question.
"Why would you ask me that?"she answered.
"Nothing just to start a conversation,this table is so silent we're not at the library"
"OMG Em I forgot to tell you did you know that Ron and Stacy split up and he was seen at Malibu with a brazilian supermodel."Emma gasps.
"Woah,I thought they're gonna get married next month?They were featured in preview"
"Good lord how awful,that's why I don't date someone from hollywood it's all for a show"
While the two were so engrossed with their chitchat,Regina was observing them and she felt a bit annoyed.The way Emma would whisper to Rebecca's ear and then both share a laugh.She shakes her head.The waiter came back with their food.
"Mmmm smell so nice"
"I'm really glad we decided to eat here their steak is heaven"
"Agree,this is better compared to that tire taste rubbery steak that robbed me a 100 bucks in Miami"the two women laugh.
"Sorry to interrupt your conversation but a piece of advise finish your food already before paparazzis flood this place"Regina said pointing at two suspish men on the next table.
"Darn it not again can't we eat in peace for once"Rebecca complained.
"And Swan isn't it part of your job to make sure Rebecca's safe from paparazzis?"
Ahm actually Miss Mills that's Rebecca's security's job not mine"Sorry ma'am"
"I'm actually pretty busy right now so I better go ahead,see you tomorrow at my office Swan and DON'T BE LATE"Regina stood up and left.
"Did she say tomorrow??"Emma asked.
"Re..."Rebecca stopped herself she will attract unecessary audience if she calls Regina.
"Oh no I think Regina misunderstood.She might have taken it seriously when I said you can start as soon as tomorrow"Rebecca gave her forehead a slight tap.
On the other hand Emma was nervous as hell.She wasn't prepared.In her 5 years of working as a personal assistant to celebrities this is the first time that she actually felt nervous."oh no"
***
"Oh my God,Ruby what do I?I'm meeting Regina Mills tomorrow,I didn't even know it's tomorrow!what do I do?I called Victoria and indeed Regina wanted me to work with her tomorrow?Is she nuts?Ruby come on why are you so silent?"Ruby was laughing at how nervous the blonde is on the other line.
"How can I speak if you wouldn't let me speak,Breathe you're too tense Emma"
"How can I not be tense I went to lunch with her today and she's far from nice.She's rude,conceited,arrogant,cold she doesn't even talk much"
"You went to lunch with her?"
"Yeah Rebecca invited her,apparently they're really friends,close friends"
"You'll be fine Emma,I trust you,we trust you"
"Well I don't trust myself"
***
The next day Emma was up early.It seems like she didn't sleep at all.She's been up all night reasearching about Regina Mills.But all those informations she got is no use at all.
Emma was brushing her teeth facing the mirror and then she remembered she doesn't know where to meet Regina and it's already 6 AM she's meeting her at 7.
"Shit!"she crammed out of the bathroom to call Victoria.

Emma been to ABC Network's building for so many times but this time her hands are shaking as she pressed down the elevator.to the 20th floor.
"Hey Emma,it's so good to see you,what are you doing here? where's Rebecca?"Aurora greeted Emma.
"Ahm,I don't work for Rebecca anymore I'm actually here for a new client"Emma forced a smile.
"Oh I see who are you gonna work with now"for Emma that's one of the hardest question she's been asked.
"Regina Mills"
"I'm sorry come again?"Emma sighed she's already expecting this reaction from people.
"Regina Mills"then the elevator door opens and Emma readily stepped out.
"Aurora nice seeing you too,see you around I guess"Emma bids goodbye to a speechless Aurora.
Go straight then turn right to the first corner from the elevator then the third room on your left.
Emma was releasing deep breaths after deep breaths.She can't decide when to knock the door.And when she was about to knock the door,it opens.
"Hi,so you're Reg's new assistant"Emma was confused.She looked at the door sign again.The woman chuckled.
"You're at the right place,don't worry sweetheart"
"Okay"Emma smiled.
"I'm Katherine by the way,I'm Regina's friend she's inside,Rebecca told me that you're coming here today so I've come to see for myself"
"Kath are you coming to Graham's birthday party?"Regina emerged and saw Emma but she just rolled her eyes and ignore her.
"Yeah"Katherine smiled apologetically to me.
"I'll see you tomorrow night then,I still have to discuss a few things to Miss Swan here"
"Geez,go easy on her Reg it's her first day"Kath kissed Regina's cheeks goodbye.Then Regina turns around to face Emma.
"You're late!Follow me"Emma pursed her lips and followed Regina.
"I love my job"Emma whispered and sighed.
