Like a broken glass

"Crystal? Crystal?"

As Daniel came out of the room, I took some new clothes and gave it to him.

"Daniel, your new clothes are here. Let me know if you need help." I answered.

"Don't leave me." He took my hand, held it tight while he pulled me onto his chest and hugged me.

"I..I won't leave you." I said nervously.

"Your breakfast is ready. David and James are coming over soon. David called me few minutes ago."

Daniel released me and said, "Wait for me."

As he took off his clothes, I was mesmerized by his six packs... I shook my head and told myself to stop thinking about it.

*As if.... but wow... those abs...*

After finishing up, I cleaned up everything. Daniel asked me if I want to take a break and go home for the weekend.

"Hm. I'll leave when you get better." I told Daniel.

*Wait, didn't he tell me not to leave just now? The irony!*

"Thank you for staying beside me last night. It's actually the first time I've cried. Thank you." Daniel said.

"No problem, you were having a hard time last night. You can cry anytime when you are with me." I replied. *Dang that sounds so cheesy*

When David and James arrived, I told them I will be back since I need to get something from the coffee shop. I asked Daniel if I can leave for a while.... he nodded..."Don't stay out for too long."

"Hm. I'll be back quick." I replied.

"Boss, yesterday at the banquet, Crystal suspected Michael about something and she was correct. Michael and Kevin are working with your Uncle on illegal businesses." David said.

"Crystal was worried about your well-being so she didn't say anything. But, we need to tell you nonetheless." He said.

"What do you plan to do now, Boss?" James said.

"We can't do anything now. But, I'll send two of my people there to spy and get the evidence. Right now, we can only wait. My Uncle will get what he deserves soon." Daniel said calmly.

No one said anything after few minutes.

"I got some iced coffee for you guys. How's the conversation?" I asked.

*Awkward...I guess I entered at a wrong time... should I tiptoe out again?*

"Crystal, we are finished talking to our Boss. We'll take our leave now. We can talk more on Monday. Please take good care of him, he doesn't look too well." David said.

"Alright, be careful on your way back." I replied.

*I guess it didn't end well*

"Daniel, how are you feeling?" I touched his forehead... it's burning....

"Let's get you to bed. You need to rest. Here, slowly..." I carefully put Daniel to bed. "I'll get you some water, wait for me." Daniel grabbed my hand and said, "Don't leave." *I guess I'll stay* I thought to myself.

Without saying anything, I silently put his head onto my chest and hugged him. Then, he sobbed and yelled, "WHY! WHY! WHYYY!! WHAT DID I DO?!

WHY MUST HE DO THIS?!" I kept silent and kept hugging him. Few minutes later... I said, "He must have his own reasons, we will know one day." I said. I hugged him for another ten minutes until he fell asleep on my chest.

He looked worn out and broken. I really should teach some people a lesson and not mess around with my man.

*My man... I don't think he even likes me...wait.. am I falling for him? *

As he fell asleep, I stayed by his bedside until he wakes up.

*Sigh, being CEO assistant is quite challenging I thought... but as long as he needs me.. I'll stay*
