It also cleared my mind and made me realized that i need to get back to wrok and help my mother at the same time fulfilling my promise to her.  This is it! Elizabeth is back and on Monday I will go to the office to get everything that I need and go to my new office.

Monday

I woke up early and head to the office, did not eat breakfast as i felt like throwing up.  at least i was able to gather all my courage to go to the office and see the building once more.  I was greeted by the loving receptionist and saw some other secretary from the office.  They are already gossiping early this morning.  The gossip?! Of course about the very handsome Raine and i can't help but to listen.  Eavesdropping is not really my favorite hobby but the felt that you just have to listen.  It so happen that he is back to his old habits of taking care of anything about work.  According to the girl he does not want to accept help from anybody.

Upon hearing same story and i know that it does not concern me anymore so i head to my office and get my things.  After securing everything i immediately exit the building and head to my new office.

Brothers

     The conversation he had with his mother was somewaht disturbing.  Deslan already know what that meant even though he is not a vampire.  For that reason alone he understood pretty well the need to protect his little brother.  At a young age Deslan learned that his mother was not ordinary and not like any of his friends mother.  He grew up with his father always on his side and his mother on the shadows.  At first he felt jealousy and rage until his parents explain the situation.

    Deslan accidentally saw his mother bit his father and of course there was blood.  At the age of 12 that made him question and his father caught him staring at them accidentally.  They could not hide much longer and explained that his mother was a vampire though his father was a human.  It is important for vampires to have children to maintain their strength and species.  Vampires may live almost forever there are still changes on genes and development of diseases tha even them cannot avoid especially their problem with the sun.

    Soon Deslan found out about his little brother being a vampire and how his grandparents have been searching for his mother.  As vampires are somewaht aristocrats their childrens are of high imporatnce even if they don't want to be associated with the clan the childrens still belongs to them.  Deslan has some of their traits being a son of a vampire but physically he is entirely human and the most fitting reason why he is the only one to protect Raine at all cost. 

    At the age of 3 Raine exhibit a strength and power that was unknown to the clan.  He was a rouge which is very rare and he was also a shield that no other vampire can read his mind or can harm him.  However Raine is so fragile and has a soft heart like his father. With that being said they locked up Raine to be trained as a ruthless and heartless borne vampire of all the clans time.  His grandfather was very proud of Raine and will do everything to keep his jewel.

Raine came into the office and went directly into Deslan's office.  "What is the meaning of this?!"

"Why are you so bothered? You said she is just like a food and she does not matter so what is the fuss about?"

"You know i don't like it when people meddle with my things!  Besides she is the perfect secretary for me so would you transfer her?!"

"I did not transfer her, she asked for my help in the first place"

"Why would she do that?!"

"Why do you think you are so work up with that girl huh?  Don't you think i don't notice?!  Maybe you do know but you are just ignoring it.  If she is what you said SHE IS then leave her alone.  She is not your type and you know pretty well she only means trouble."

    Raine was so mad that he pushed the table aside sending it flying to the wall with a loud crash.  If Deslan got scared he did not show it.  This is the very first time he saw Raine loose control and got angry about someone.  He was always calm even when giving an argument. That kind heart always shows but he kept his pride not showing anyone his weakness, but this time it is different.  Deslan felt Raine's rage through the aura he is emitting across the room and it is not really good.  The aura is already disintegrating parts of the office and he needs to calm Raine down for everybody's sake.

    Deslan did not dare come closer as Raine is now emitting energy flowing out of his body that already withers the plant across the room and the woods are starting to disintegrate.  He started talking to  him in his most calm manner.  Deslan may not be a vampire but he still share the blood of the mother vampire.  His ability to talk smoothly that can influence anyone is like a protective shied of Raine from himself.

"Raine listen to me. (in  very smooth manner). Elizabeth is a nobody.  You will forget her soon.  You are happy without her and you can find another"  Words does not seem to cross Raine's barrier of hearing as he is beginning to blank out of his anger.

"The girl is leaving and and it will be alright".

    The door clicked as if someone was trying to enter.  Deslan quickly shift his eye between the door and Raine because whoever will enter that door will surely feel Raine's wrath at the moment.  A mind link then spoke asking permission to enter.  Deslan gave the permission and tried to shield the person upon entering by positioning himself between the door and Raine.

THE NEW OFFICE THE NEW OFFICE

 

I made myself ready as I can be to bravely face the new day and new adventure. Arrived at the office earlier than what is expected. I’ve seen the place and it is way to different compared to the main office where Raine is. Thinking about him is bad and will not do me any good but I just can’t help it.

 

“I am ok, I do not need anyone with me” I heard someone from a room shout. Then the receptionist calls on my name.

 

Someone ushered me to a meeting room and was greeted by a group of executives. Each introduced themselves and they all look like a good boss. Allaric was the head of the department to whom I will be reporting and coordinating to in order to build the secretarial team. He reminds me of someone very close to me but again I have to divert my attention or else this will be a disaster. Greeted everyone in the room and introduced myself.

 

“Do what you want it’s fine” then Allaric step out of the room.

 

The manager came up to me “Just don’t mind him. He’s not used to having someone assist him with work. He usually does the task. Let me get you to your table” gesturing me to walk first.

 

Manager Tray accompanies me during the day as we go to different departments for familiarity. The whole office was friendly and happy to work with me. Since we have a lot of work to do, the welcome celebration was postponed. After lunch I started with my task generating data and all the things needed to start up the office. They have hired qualified people for the job and I can’t believe that I am one to evaluate them as well. After an hour or two I started calling out the names on the list to delegate task just to gauge their capabilities and expertise.

 

I remember the first time I step in the office when I thought it was only just a dream. All the jitters and butterflies in my stomach just don’t rest that day and I don’t even understand how I was able to answer most of the questions. Just right after all the work for this first day I noticed the vase on the far right corner of the table. A daffodil placed in a cute vase shining like a little sun smiling down on me. It made me realize that everything will be just fine, that the changes are good and nothing can go wrong.

 

The next day I go to work early trying to organize things for my table and for the secretarial team. All those who are qualified for the position are to come back to day for another test just to know which specific task they are comfortable with. I did not know that getting subordinates and colleagues are this difficult. Now I realize that being a head of a department is really a tough job and you cannot just leave things unattended. Every detail is to be place into consideration for all aspect to work. Every company director also has their own personal choice to consider which sometimes does not work with the specified job description. On the other hand, my boss Allaric was a warm person. He does not speak too much or maybe because I am doing my job very well that he does not need to say anything at all. The employer and employee relationship is balance and everything is on its professional state.

 

The next day I was surprised that He invited me for a coffee and that alarmed me, only to realize that it was part of the business meeting set for a client. ‘What am I thinking?!’ The meeting went smooth but we stayed a little linger to fix all amendments with the contract that we offered. The contract needs to be finalized and is required to be mailed to their office by the end of the day.

 

Then the odd thing happened.

 

“Elizabeth, are you comfortable with your office?” he spoke

 

I was caught off guard by his deep voice, jumping out of my senses accidentally knocking the vase off the table. A loud crash came in an instant and he was already there beside me trying
