It was a Monday morning. I got ready in a white shirt and white blazer with black jeans. Putting my hair up in the bun and putting on my usual light makeup I grabbed my heels and bag walking out of the house. On my way to the office. I thought about the conversation Mr. Knight and I had yesterday night.

It was 1 am when he called me... Jolting me out of sleep.

"Hello?" I whispered, rubbing my eyes. "Ms Kingston?" he said. I looked at the clock. "Is Everything okay?" I asked sitting up. "Were you sleeping? Of course, you were sleeping, that's what people do in the middle of the night-" "Mr Knight calm down did you need anything?" I asked. "Actually yes, Could I please take the pills?" he asked.

"What?" I asked half asleep. "Could I please take the sleeping pills for tonight?" he asked. "Ohh... Are you not able to sleep?" I asked. "Yeah..." "Do you want to talk about it?" "No... Can I?" he asked. "Yes Mr Knight, it's in the same drawer," I said. I heard some shuffling on the other end. "Thank you," he said. "No problem but this is just for today," I said. "Good night," he said. "Good night, Mr. Knight," I said as he hung up.

I walked out of the cab, greeted everyone, and went up the elevator with his coffee in my hand. I was doubting whether or not to give him this. When I reached the floor I got out and walked into his room after knocking. I heard no response so I peeped to find him nowhere. I sighed walking back to my room and starting the work.

It was around 10 am when the door of my room burst open. "I had a meeting with some new clients," he said, handing me the file. My smile fell. "You weren't late because you slept in?" I asked. "Ms Kingston... I don't sleep in," he said sitting in front of my desk. "So what's the schedule?" he said, grabbing the coffee. "That is cold! Let me make you another one," I said getting up. "I asked you for the schedule Ms Kingston," he said.

"Right.." I said opening up my Ipad and telling him his schedule. "So I am free at 7 pm?" he asked. "Yes, and you are going to be free at 7 pm every day," I said, closing my Ipad and grabbing the file and going through it. "And what am I supposed to do for the next 5 hours till my bedtime?" he asked. "I don't know... Go spend time with your family... Go out with your friends... I am sure Kevin would be really happy about that... You can go see Xavier's games... There is so much to do! Probably start looking at the world and watch Harry Potter..." I trailed off. Walking up to the cupboard to search for another file.

"I don't indulge in such stupid things..." he said. "Well, I am sorry sir but you don't have any work after 7 pm," I said. "Ms Kingston please don't be stupid. You can't make so many changes at once," he said. "I am making no changes... You still have the stuff to do between that time you just don't want to do it," I said, grabbing the file I needed and sitting back down.

"Why are you doing this?" he asked. "Because I am your friend," I said looking up at him as I pushed my glasses up my nose and started reading through the file again. "Then you should stop being one, I don't need this help, friend," he said. "You have a meeting Mr. Knight," I said, trying to get him out of there.

"The meeting is in 30 minutes. I have plenty of time to argue with you," he said leaning back. I placed the file down scrunching my eyebrows as I read through it. "You are not allowed to do-" "I knew it!" I said interrupting him in between. "What?" he asked.

"These new clients are the ones that had a deal with Mr Samberg's company but then Mr Samberg canceled the deal because they tried to sabotage them and take their money," I said handing both the files. He read through them and looked up at me. "Then I guess they are going to court," he said, calling his lawyer.

"I want you to sue this company, my assistant will send you the details," he said on the phone before hanging up. I pulled the file and started scanning it. "You still haven't given me some good reason to spend my precious time," he said. "I have given you so many things...You can go on dates to pass your time... I mean that's what people do these days I guess..." I said opening my laptop.

"So you go on dates in your free time, Ms Kingston?" he asked. I laughed. "Me? For that I need free time Mr. Knight, I am working quite 24/7, if not that, the remaining time is when I sleep. I am not complaining though... I love my job and I don't think I could find a potential match," I said looking at him.

"Well you don't believe in it and you are suggesting it to me?" he asked. "Well because I think you could find someone," I said. "Really, who do you have in mind?" he asked. "I don't know! You know your type!" I said. "Ms Kingston, go back to work... I'll see you at the meeting," he said getting up and walking out.

After the schedule for the day was done. I looked at the clock. I hadn't given him his 4'o clock coffee and he had just ignored me after that. I was doing this for his good. I sighed as I looked at the clock I got up, removing my coat and stretching a little. My door opened and Mr Knight walked in.

"How may I help you, Sir?" I asked. "You seriously are asking that?" he asked, taking a seat. Oh God please don't tell me he is going to sit here. "I am, Sir. This is my job," I said. "Well good so you have to tell me what else there is to do," he said. "Nothing, Sir," I said. "Isabella," he warned. I was not going to give in to him.

"Look you haven't allowed me to get any coffee and you haven't given me any either... I am tired and my head hurts..." he said. "Great! That means you should go home, take a rest, go to sleep perhaps?" I asked. "Can you please stop acting like my mother?" he said but immediately stopped. I was about to stop him but he got up and left.

I sighed about getting back to my work. Completing everything I looked at the clock to see it was 9:05. I packed my things and booked my cab to go downstairs. I was waiting for the cab when my phone rang and it was an unknown number.

"Hello this is Isabella Kingston speaking, Mr Knight's assistant," I said getting into the cab. "Hello Isabella, this is Robert," I heard the voice. "Oh! Hello Sir, how may I help you?" I asked. "You are never going to stop calling me that are you?" he asked laughing. "I am sorry," I said. "Anyways may I know what my son is doing at home for the past 2 hours?" he asked.

"Sir you told me that he needed to get some more rest and relax a little so he is going to have no work after 7 pm," I said. "What?" Mr. Knight Sr said. "How did he agree to do this?" he asked. "There is no work for him to do. I have arranged his schedule that way and if there is any then I do it for him... I have long office hours anyway," I said shrugging.

"And what are your office hours?" he asked. "Um 7 to 9, on weekdays and if necessary on the weekends whenever Mr Knight says," I replied. "This is not fair for you, my child!" he said. "Sir, I have no problem. I live here alone, I don't have anyone at home who is waiting for me. So it's fine. I have my sister, and now Xavier as well, come in on weekends and I am usually free then. Also, I love my job and I don't mind," I said.

"Well, it's your and Nick's decision. But thank you for doing this... But I have a problem. He has been sitting in the living room just staring at the television and some stupid '80s movie is playing," he said. "I am sorry Sir, but I will talk to him about that tomorrow. Today he is not in a good mood," I said. "Well, baby steps I guess," he said. "Good night, sir," I replied. "Good night, Isabella," he said, hanging up. By that time we were already at my house. Paying the cab driver I walked up to my apartment and changed going to bed immediately.

It's been a week and Mr Knight has been acting weird. He goes back home at 7 o'clock and doesn't complain. But for that, he has to talk to me. Because he hasn't been talking to me! Today was Friday and we were almost done with all our meetings. Mr. Knight had to go through some documents and sign them. I grabbed the files and took them to him.

"Sir, you have to sign these," I said, placing them on the table. I was about to turn and leave when he asked. "No game today?" he said. I turned around, "It's next week," I said. "You seem to have all the updates," he said, taking the files.

"Umm Vi, she told me," I said. "I know she has added me on all her social media," he said. I looked at him wide-eyed. "You use your social media?" I asked. "I don't quite get the hang of it but... I think... Instagram? Yeah, she has added me to that and keeps adding some pictures there..." he said. I chuckled. She was such an influencer type. "Yes, it is her favorite app," I said.

"Yes, Xavier also uses that quite a lot... But I don't approve of all the comments on his pictures," he said. I wanted to laugh. Xavier was what you would all like to call an Instagram Model... He had girls all over him on Instagram and that meant the comment section was flooded with thirsty comments. "He is quite popular," I said. "And it seems so am I," he said, putting his phone in front of me. He had 7 posts on his grid and a million followers. My eyes widened.

"Well, that you are," I said. "But who posted these?" I asked. "Xavier and a cousin of mine," he said, rolling his eyes. "That's nice you have famous models and celebrities following you," I said. He just shrugged. "So you aren't on social media?" he asked. I looked at him confused. "You tried to stalk me?" I asked. "Why would I do that Ms Kingston? I have my eyes on you every day for more than 14 hours and I can have more if needed," he said looking at me before going back to signing.

"I am actually," I said. "I couldn't find you," he said. "You could have gone to Vi, Xavier, or even Kevin's grid. Vi has tagged me in her photos that are with me," I said. "I did not understand a word after you said grid," he said. I sighed sitting down. "You see, now this is her latest picture so if you click on her name you are on her grid and here this is a picture of me and her so if you click on the picture once you will see the Instagram of people in the picture that is if she has tagged them," I said. "Now, here she has tagged me and Xavier," I said.

"So now clicking on my Instagram link you will go to my grid," I said clicking on it. He looked at me. "You follow me?" he asked. "Yeah?" I said. He snatched his phone and pressed the following button. "Thank you," I said smiling. I took out my phone and looked at it as it pinged. I opened my Instagram and both of our phones pinged.

Vi had uploaded yet another photo. But this was with Xavier. I immediately smiled. It had the caption- I don't know why I like him. "So you double-tap to like it?" he asked. I nodded and he did it. He kept his phone aside and started signing the papers. My phone started ringing loudly and it was Xavier calling. I put it on speaker.

"Hi!" I said. "Are you with my brother?" he asked. "Yes?" I said. "See I told you!" Vi said. "You know he just liked my Instagram pic?" Vi shouted. "Vi calms down," I said. "There are so many questions, you know that right? He just followed you and also liked my pic!" she shouted. "I don't understand you! You complained to me about not liking your posts or whatever that means and now I do and now you don't want to?" Mr Knight asked.

"Nick, I appreciate it... But the news is going to catch this!" she said. Nick? "Do they not have any other news? This is barely anything!" he said. "I won't have to deal with it... Good luck to you guys," she said. "Where are you both anyways?" I asked. "Ice skating!" Xavier said. "Vi, went Ice skating?" I was shocked. "Yeah... I mean I asked her if she wanted to go..." he said. "Umm-hmm..." I laughed. "You don't have to explain anything to her!" she snapped at him. "Bye!" she said, hanging up.

"How do you put up with her?" Mr Knight asked. "Been doing it my whole life and she is not always like this," I said. He closed the file. "So Ice skating," he said. "Vi loves winter. I mean I do too... Back in England we used to go ice skating a lot but she was too scared, so she just played in the snow," I said, smiling at the memory.

"That's nice," he said, getting up. I grabbed the files and got up too. "Have a good night," I said walking out with him. "I am sending the car for them tomorrow," he said. "Ohh Thank you but you don't have to do that," I said. "I would personally go but they'll be fine," he said. "Thanks..." I said. "When are you leaving?" he asked as we reached my cabin door. "I still have work and my shift ends at 9 if you are forgetting," I said, opening my cabin door.

"Okay, Good night," he said. I nodded, waved at him, and went into my office.

I had just had dinner and was sitting in bed, with the Crown playing on the Television.

To Vi: Mr. Knight is sending a car for both of you. Don't ride his motorcycle. Tell him this as well.

Vi: 👍🏻

She must be busy.

I went back to the tv show laying down. Three episodes in my eyes started to drop when my phone rang. "Hello?" I said. "Ms Kingston?" he said. "Hi," I said, sitting up and switching off the television. "Can't sleep?" I asked. "You think that the three deals we are working on are dangerous investments? I mean we have seen their company's statistics but I am still skeptical these are some new companies we are investing in," he said.

"Oh, so these are the kind of problems that stop you from sleeping? I asked. "I mean it's so much money we invest. We have a running business, the money needs to keep circulating. One wrong move and I am putting hundreds of people's salaries that work in our company online," he said.

"Well, you are right about that. If we lose money then we might suffer a loss. But Mr Knight we have a good amount of money saved as well. Losing a deal or three, which will not happen, but even in the worst case as you imagine we might suffer a loss but that will not put in line anyone's salary," I said assuring him. "Also we don't invest in companies that have even the slightest chance of failure. You know that," I said.

"Also you remember that deal we cracked last week with Mr Russo? He is thinking of canceling it and giving it to someone else," he said. "Oh my god, Mr Knight I know this is very wrong of me to say to my boss but do you keep your head aside when you are worrying?" I asked. "What the hell are you implying Ms Kingston?" he asked.

"I am saying that you know when we do a deal, it is a final deal and if the other party has to cancel they cannot get a refund, and if they sue us they will be the one to pay us, right? We do this in every contract!" I said.

"You wouldn't understand! When I don't have things going my way I don't feel at peace!" he said. "Mr Knight, things are going your way there is no other person who has the authority to sanction anything without your permission and signatures! Just because you aren't spending more time on it doesn't mean you have no authority over it!" I said.

"Look Mr Knight, I know you haven't been getting enough sleep this week. But if there is anything I could do to help with that, please tell me," I said. "I am used to sleeping with sleeping pills, so it is difficult for me to sleep," he said. "Okay, where are you right now?" I asked. "In bed?" he said.

"Great! Close your eyes and listen to this," I said while playing some soft music on my Ipad. After a few minutes of lying there, I heard his breathing even out and soft snores. I smiled, put my phone near the Ipad, and went to sleep after putting a sleep timer on the Ipad.
