I was confused.

Is it normal to wake up, and see a guy with boxers on, cooking in the kitchen?

"Morning Ella. Come sit." He smiles at me.

What?

I nod slowly, and walk towards the stool.

"Eat, and Carter will take you to work." I nod again, as he hands me a plate of chocolate chip pankcakes.

I smile at them. Anything chocolate is my favourite.

I start eating them, as he walks back to his room.

"Ella, can you do my tie?" He walks back out after a couple of minutes, wearing a dark blue suit, with a white shirt.

I nod, getting up and wiping my hands, on my long shirt, and my panties. That's all I'm wearing. I forgot about living with a guy.

I walk closer to him, standing on my tip-toes, and tying his black tie. He stares into my eyes, as I finish.

"You look beautiful" he whispers, twirling my hair a little.

"I look beautiful in something long!" I blurt out, stepping back.

He smiles.

"Carter will be coming for you in an hour." He says walking closer to me.

"Okay!" I move back again. He grabs my hand, pulling me closer to him.

He kisses my forehead, and steps back.

"I'll see you later Ella" he smirks and walks out of the apartment.

I think I'm going crazy.

From all the magazines I've read, they do not describe Damon as sweet. In fact it's the opposite.

I shake my head, and plan on getting ready.

*

*

I wear my black heels, and stand up, looking at myself in the mirror.

Perfect. My hair is curled, flowing down to my waist.

There's a knock on the door.

I walk out of my room, and towards the front door, opening it to see Carter.

His eyes widen, when he looks at me up and down.

"Woah. You look hot" I nod slowly, as he walks inside.

"I'll get my bag, and we'll go" I walk back to my room, grabbing the black bag, and walking out of the room.

Carter is sat on the couch, eating a chocolate bar.

"Where did you find that?" I gasp.

I couldn't find chocolate anywhere.

"Oh. I bought it. Yeah" he nods to himself.

I sigh as he stands up.

"Ready to go?" I nod, as we walk out of the apartment.

"So what do I have to do when I go there?" I say as we take the elevator down.

"Well I'll have to drop you off. And you'll go to Amy-She works in the office as well- and ask her to show you to the top floor. And you'll meet Damon there." He says and I nod, as we walk out of the lobby.

We sit inside the car, quietly.

He drives to the building, called Knights Main Office.

I guess this is the main office.

He parks the car outside, and smiles at me.

"You can go inside now" I nod, grabbing my bag, and getting out of the car.

"Bye" I wave, closing the door,and walking towards the entrance, as Carter drives away.

The two guards stop me.

I frown at them.

"Do you have an appointment?" One of them asks.

"No. But I work here. Excuse me" I walk past them,through the automatic doors, and towards Amy at the reception area.

One of the guys from the entrance follows behind me.

"Hi" I say to her. She smiles.

"Hey. Do you have an appointment today?" She asks, typing on her computer.

"No. I work here, as an assistant." She frowns at me.

"Who's assistant?" She asks, looking at me.

"Damon's" she frowns, deeper.

"Mr Knight already has an assistant. You may leave" What the fudge?

"No." I say crossing my arms.

"Excuse me miss-" she stops

"Anderson" I say and she nods, just as another woman walks forward, wearing a tight black dress. She looks stunning.

"Amy, there's meant to be a girl coming, some time. So just send her upstairs to Damon's office" she says

"Miss Anderson claims to be knowing Mr Knight, and being his new assistant" Amy says and I gasp.

"I did not say I know him." She sighs

"Forgive me" she tilts her head slightly.

"You're forgiven" she gives me a huge fake smile.

"Thank you. Do take her, Kristen." She turns to the other girl.

"Follow me" she says and I do. I follow her to the elevator, as the doors close behind us.

"My name is Gabrielle" I say looking at her and she nods.

"Kristen" I nod slowly, as the doors open to the top floor.

I walk out, behind her.

In front of me, there's a door with Damon's name on it. On both of my sides, there's two doors. One with Kristen's name, and the other with no one's name.

"Come in Gabi" I hear Kristen call.

I walk inside the door quickly,to see Damon typing on the computer. He looks up, a small smile on his face, but it quickly disappears.

"Miss Anderson, y-"

"You said that I was your new assistant. And it seems like you already have an assistant. What are you playing at Damon?" I sigh at him.

He looks at me, a small glare in his eyes, playfully.

"It's Mr Knight. And you'll be Kristen's assistant. She'll be your manager" Kristen smirks.

"Sir any work?" Kristen smiles at him sweetly.

"Yes. Kristen I want you to bring me a coffee, and on the way up, pick up the files from the finance department." She nods and walks out of the room, closing the door behind her.

"Ell-" Damon stands up.

"Don't. It's Gabi" he sighs, walking closer to me

"Ella, how are you?" He walks towards me, pushing a little of my hair behind my ear.

"You look beautiful" he whispers, placing his hand on my cheek.

What the hell is wrong with him?

"I like chocolate!" I blurt out.

I did it again.

He chuckles, stepping back.

"I have chocolate. A lot." He walks to his desk, and opens a drawer. He picks up chocolate bars, and walks back to me.

"Here." I take the five bars off him.

"Thanks. What do I have to do?" He sits back in his chair, as I open a chocolate bar.

"You'll have to work under Kristen. She'll tell you what to do" I nod as the door opens and she walks back inside.

"Sir, I've checked the files as well. I think we need to decrease the budget a little, so there's more hold on what they spend on." She says.

"Or what you can do is, buy things in large numbers, which could give you a little discount. What your company does, Da-Mr Knight, is buy things little by little. What I would do, in my dad's company, was buy things in huge bundles, so if we didn't need them, we knew that we still had some of them left over,for next time" I whisper the ending, as Damon stares at me.

"She's my advisor from now on. Go explain to the finance department, Kristen." She nods walking out of the room.

"So I don't work for her?" I say and he shakes his head.

"You do"

"I'm proud of you, Ella" Oh.

I can feel my face heating up.

I don't think anyone has said that to be recently. Especially someone I don't know.

"Thank you" I whisper and he smiles.

"I want you to go over these files for me. And I want you to check the files in the other departments. Give your review on them, and I'll think about it." He says pushing some files towards me.

I pick them up and nod.

"Where do I work?" I ask

"You can work here, with me, or the office opposite Kristen's" I nod turning around.

I walk towards the door, when he coughs.

I turn around looking at him. He has a huge smirk on his face.

"You have a perfect arse, Ella" I turn my body around, so he can't see my behind.

"Oh. I should be going" I move back, hitting the door.

He chuckles as I open it, and walk out.

"I want them done by 4" I hear his voice, as the door closes.

Kristen looks at me.

"That's your office" I nod as she points to the room.

First day of work. I can do this.

*

*

"What you do need to do is, move these 5 people into the marketing department, because they'll benefit more there. And move these 3 people to the sales department" I point to the sketch I've done, with a few people pictures.

"Okay. Why do I need to do this?" Damon asks, as I lean over him, pointing to the picture.

I step back, looking at him confused.

"Because you told me to help this company. I'm the advisor. If you move the people around, it'll get them out of their comfort zone, as well as get them away from their friends. This thing wrong with this company is that, you put people in their safe zone, where as if you put them in different departments, your business will rise further, because they're learning new things, as well as its not costing you more peoples wages." I explain and he nods.

"Okay. Can you call in Kristen?" I nod, walking out of the room.

I walk towards her office, and open it to see a guy fudging her. Literally.

She moans out loud, as I quickly close the door behind me.

Virgin eyes.

I need to go home and wash them with soap.

I shudder, walking back to Damon's office.

"She's busy" he frowns.

"She's my assistant. Call her" he stands up.

"Damon, I can't. She's busy with a guy. Like really busy. I mean busy. She's occupied" I try to explain.

"Ella, tell me. Or I'll go get her" he walks towards the door, and I quickly stand in front of him, blocking his way.

"Have I told you that this tie looks great on you?" I pat his chest. He looks at confused.

I can't let him go in there. Kristen will be humiliated. And plus how long does it take to do 'that'. Twenty minutes?

"It does?" He looks at my hand, on his chest. I pull it back.

"Erm yeah. Totally. Like hundred percent. It's looks amazing. Sometimes I wish I had it. It's just like wow" I say.

"She's having sex right?" I nod slowly.

"Ella, this isn't the first I'll catch her. Why didn't you tell me?" He asks

"Because she'll be humiliated then. Come on Damon, have some brain. Am I doing all the work for you?" I run a hand through my hair, as he chuckles.

"So you couldn't tell just because she'll be humiliated? You're so cute Ella" he pinches my cheeks slightly, with a small smile on his face

Oh. I'm cute? I feel my face heat up.

"I like it when you blush. It's like apples" he whispers

"Green apples?" I blurt out and he chuckles, with a smirk on his face.

"Red apples, Ella. Have you seen anyone with green cheeks?" He looks at me confused.

"Makeup" I whisper.

I need to stop.

I shake my head, stepping back, as the there's a knock on the door.

"Come in" Damon says and Kristen walks inside.

"Sir you have a meeting in 20 minutes." She says, blushing slightly.

She likes him. Well I guess everyone would like him, from the dark brown hair, to those perfect brown eyes.

And not to mention the abs?

"Miss Jones why we're you having se-" I cough loudly.

Has he got no brains? No feelings?

"Kristen, I need you to show me something" I say and she looks me up and down, shaking her head.

"Mr Knight was about to say something. Sir?" She looks at Damon.

"Nothing. You may go. Miss Gabrielle, I need a word with you" I gulp.

His intense stare makes me looks down, at the floor.

It's like standing in front of your principle, after you know you failed all of your exams?

Okay that was a bad example.

"Okay" Kristen leaves the room. I take a deep breath.

He walks closer to me, and when he's standing in front of me, he stops.

He places his hand on my cheek, running a finger over my bottom lip.

Okay? First day and this?

"Ella, let me take you out for dinner" he whispers

"Did we run out food at your house?" I ask

"Erm yeah. We have no food" he steps back, running a hand through his hair.

"Okay. Oh, does Aubrey work here too?" He nods

"She works in the marketing department." I nod

"We'll go to Mcdonalds. And can I see Aubrey?" He nods

"Of course Ella. We'll go after work?" He smiles and I nod.

"Can I leave?"

"Of course" he turns around, walking back to his desk.

"You may leave" he says, smirking at me, as he sits down.

I nod slowly.

"So I'll just leave" I point to myself. He nods again.

"Will you leave?" I nod and he frowns.

"I won't let you" he whispers.

What? Are we talking about something else?

Fudge this.

I turn around and walk out of the room.

Now where is Aubrey's office?

*

*

"Oh its you" she smiles at slightly.

"Do I know you?" I ask looking at her confused.

"I'm Kristen's friend. She was talking about her new employee. Hi my name is Hannah" she places her hand out.

"Gabrielle" I shake her head.

"May I ask why you're here?" She asks.

"Oh. I'm looking for Aubrey. Aubrey Anderson?" She nods.

"Last door on the left" I nod in thank you, and follow her instructions.

I find Aubrey's office, and walk inside to see her talking this guy. The guy turns around, and smiles at me.

"Gabi, you knock" she smirks a little.

No matter how much we hate each other, we both know that we'll always be there for each other.

"No need to be formal. Do you want to come to Mcdonalds with me and Damon?" I ask, sitting down on the chair.

The guy gasps. I forgot he was even there.

"Gabrielle, meet Daniel. Daniel meet Gabrielle" Aubrey introduces us.

"Hi"

"You said Damon. Make sure no one hears you say that. They'll have your head" I frown.

"But I'm allowed to call him Damon" I say

"I think I'm going to die" he whispers

"Why? I even live with him?" I say

"Okay. It's official. I'm dead" he closes his eyes

"But closing your eyes doesn't make you dead." I say

"Is this your sister? Like are you hundred percent sure?" He looks at Aubrey who nods.

"Unfortunately yes. She's a buzz kill" she says and I gasp

"No I'm not. I will let you know that I have been clubbing once!" I exclaim.

"I love her already!" Daniel laughs a little

"So do you want to come to Mcdonalds?" I ask Aubrey

She shakes her head.

"Nope. I have a feeling Damon,is not interested in me." She says.

"He's not worth it. You should be with Daniel" I blurt out.

"Daniel is gay, Gabi. And he's my new best friend" she says proudly.

"Nope! I'm Gabi's best friend" Aubrey frowns.

"Jokes. You're my best friend. I'll hardly get to see Gabi. She doesn't work on my floor" I pout.

"I work with people I don't even know. Shall I ask if I can work with you Aubrey?" I smile and she shakes her head.

"Be independent. Now shoo" she motions me to get out of the room.

"Okay. Then I won't buy no present for your birthday!" I exclaim, walking out of the room.

A few people stare at me. I wave at them.

"Hi" I say quietly.

"Hey"

"Hello"

"Afternoon"

I smile.

"Who wants to be my best friend? I make delicious cakes" I smile widely, as the elevator doors open, and Kristen walks down.

"Gabrielle, go get me chicken salad" I nod slowly.

"Where's the cafeteria?" I ask and she chuckles.

"Oh sweetie. I don't eat cafeteria food. If you cross the road, take a left, and then a right, carry on straight, you'll find an restaurant, called Knights Palace. Say my name, and you'll get the salad" she says

"Okay wait. You're sending me to a restaurant, which is called Knights Palace,-which I guess belongs to Mr Knight- and you're ordering a salad? Why not go yourself? It'll be good exercise for you" everyone chuckles.

What I said was right. She wants to go to a restaurant, and not get steak or their specials, but she wants a salad. I'm sure she can make it.

"Gabrielle, you're my assistant. You do these things for me" she says, daring me to say something.

I should really keep quiet.

"I'm not your slave. I do work, not run around to get you something to eat. What's next? Shall I do your laundry as well?" Everyone gasps, and starts laughing.

"I'm so sorry" I whisper, walking closer to her.

No I'm not bipolar.

Everyone's laughing at her. That's not nice. Especially in a place where you've worked for a long time.

"It's okay" she turns around walking towards the elevator. I follow her slowly

"So just a salad?" I mumble as the doors close.

"No its okay. I don't want it. I'll leave some files for you to check, and you can send the reviews to Mr Knight" she says

I'm so fudging crazy.

"I'm sorry" I say again and she sighs

"You have to stop apologising. People will walk over you" she says as the doors open to our floor.

She walks inside to her office, as I take a deep breath.

I walk towards Damon's office, and knock on it.

"Come in" he says and I walk inside to see him writing.

"Ella. What can I do for you?" He smiles, putting his pen down, and placing his hands under his chin, giving me full attention.

"Kristen" he frowns.

"What did she do?" I sigh

"I humiliated her in front of everyone, because she was sending me to go and get her a salad from your restaurant, and I said no. And everyone started laughing. She's not really that bad, but I thought she was, and I was-" he stands up. I become quiet.

"Get to the point Ella" he says and I nod.

"If Kristen asks where I am, just tell her that I've gone home. Please? I'm just going to to get her food, and I'll be back quick. I promise, it's just that I feel so bad for what I've done and I feel like she's really upset. Plus when everyone was laughing at her, she didn't react to me, and I feel like an idiot and an applehole" I sigh

I look up at him, and he's smirking.

"Applehole?" He questions

"Thats what you got from all of that? You know what I was thinking? I was thinking instead of eating junk food, we go and buy groceries, and you can cook something. I can't really cook" he walks towards me.

"Ella, you're going off topic. Why don't I ask someone to get the salad and you can give it too her?" I shake my head

"No. I should do it. I was thinking of getting a sorry cake as well? I mean, she might share it and I am in the mood for cake?" I say and he nods.

'I'll come with you" I shake my head.

"I'll be back in a couple of minutes" I smile walking out of the room.

Cake and and chicken salad.

*

"Ella-" Damon says as soon as I step out of the elevator.

Was he waiting for me?

"Ella, Kristen's gone. She said she has to go home, because it was an emergency. But I'll take you to her house." He says and I nod, walking back into the elevator.

He steps inside with me.
