Silver's POV
"I said you're hired mio caro (my darling). As my personal assistant." Mr. Winthrope repeated as he grinned and looked at me with his stunning blue eyes.
I had to admit. Ethan Winthrope was a lot younger than I had anticipated. And a lot more attractive! He had jet black hair that fell to his brow in an unruly manner. A chiseled facial structure that seemed to be carved from stone. He had a muscular body build even though the most physical thing he probably even had to do was lift a pen. But he could even hire someone for that! He had a gorgeous set of blue eyes that reminded me of Aiddan's so much.
I was jerked out of my thoughts as his words finally sank in. "What? Why? How?" I stumbled over my words in utter confusion. Personal assistant? I thought I applied for a Secretarial position?
"Yes. Now your pay will start at $18.72 per hour but it will rise with salary raises and bonuses. But you also have several benefits on top of this. You will get a car supplied by the company. This can be used for both personal and company business. You will also be given a floor in one of the many hotels we own but since you're my Personal Assistant you will be given a Penthouse close to the company. The keys will be given to you on Friday which is the first day you will be required to start. Then you will get this weekend off to move in. If you need any help just call me and I will come and help you. On top of all this you will be given $15,000 to put into a bank account and use as needed. That money shall be yours whether or not you stay with us." As he finished I just stared at him in shock.

"Say what?" I ask, suddenly panicking. Why that much stuff? That is A LOT of stuff to be given for such a simple job.
As he chuckled he leaned forward so his elbows were resting on his desk. "I know. It may seem like a lot but believe me. You will work it off in the long run. I am very stubborn."
"How so?" I demanded suddenly gaining confidence.
Raising his eyebrow he replied, "Let's see. I am very punctual. I despise useless excuses. We will be doing a lot of traveling to go to meetings. My temper is a small problem with why I need a new Personal Assistant. And whenever I want something" he smiled and smirked at me as he slowly looked me up and down before finishing with, "I always get it."
I was about to tell him off when my ringtone suddenly pierced the air, startling both of us. Hurriedly I yank my phone from my pocket and quickly answer it when I see that it is Ashton.
"Ashton. I am in the middle of an interview. I cannot talk right now." I exclaimed, trying to end the conversation. His next words made me go cold.
"Aiddan is in the hospital."

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.
