Emergency

Saturday morning, both Azriel and Nesryn decided to stay in for the day. Nesryn was the first to wake up, she stretched her body and stared at the handsome greek god beside her. Azriel's chiseled face and his long hair, sprawled around his head like a black halo.

Nesryn brushed a stray hair away from his face and tucked it behind his ear, she slowly inched closer and placed a kiss on his forehead. Her lips stayed there for a couple of seconds before pulling back.

She untangled herself from his arms and placed a pillow from the space and watched as Azriel pulled it in a hug.

Nesryn stood up and stretched, fixing her pajamas before walking to the bathroom. Nesryn placed her hair in a ponytail before washing her face. She took a shower and dressed herself up with Azrie's long-sleeved polo shirt and a pair of black shorts.

After tucking Azriel with a blanket, she left the room quietly and made her way downstairs and into the dining hall.

She passed the long table and went into the kitchen, she greeted the chef, who bowed his head at her "Please, don't bow, May I cook Azriel's breakfast today?" she politely asked the man, who immediately nodded and left her alone in the kitchen. Nesryn prepared the pans and ingredients she's gonna need.

Nesryn hummed a very light tune as she flipped the pancake she's been cooking and that's when the oven timer beeped, with carefully mitted hands, she took out the roasted ham and bacon from the oven and laid it out on the counter to rest. Before going back to beating the eggs while the pancake cooked.

A pair of arms snaked around her waist and a familiar scent wafted on her nose. Nesryn slumped back on Azriel's arm, with a soft smile on her face. "You're up early" Nesryn whispered, turning to look at her man.

Azriel leaned in and pressed his lips against hers for a couple of minutes. Nesryn was the one who pulled away "I am cooking, go and sit down, I'll be with you in a few minutes. Azriel tightened his hold on her waist and whined like a kid and Nesryn raised an eyebrow.

"Is something wrong?" she whispered, turning off the fire first before turning around in his arms and faced him. Nesryn placed a hand on Azriel's cheek and the big man nuzzled his face on her hand.

"Nothing's wrong, just woke up and you're not there" he murmured, before placing a kiss on her hand, sending warm tingles in her body. "I mean it Azriel, go and sit down, I'll bring the food to you shortly" she said, releasing him and turning back to the stove, scooping the cooked pancake into a plate.

Nesryn waited for Azriel to leave her but he just stood there, then releasing her from his arms and jumping on the counter and sat down, she watched him for a few minutes before flipping the pancake and putting the bacon on a plate.

Azriel took that as a chance and slowly pulled her to him, kissing her full on the lips. He wrapped his legs around her and pulled her even closer as Nesryn threaded her hands on his long hair.

They only let each other go when Nesryn gasped for breath, she rested her head on his chest and panted heavily. Azriel wasn't vocal about it but his deep breaths were enough to show that he too was breathless.

"You'd be the death of me Azriel" Nesryn playfully said but Azriel froze and she realized what she said and instantly placed a kiss on his lips. "I won't die" she reassured the man, grabbing his hand and placing a kiss on his knuckles, just like how he always does to her. She gave him the plate of pancakes.

"Take this to the dining area, I am gonna follow you" she said, taking the plate of bacon too, leaving Nesryn to handle their breakfast salad. Once putting on the salad's dressing, Nesryn took off her apron and went back to the dining area where Azriel and the maids helped set up the table for the two of them.

"I left plenty of servings for breakfast in the kitchen, please enjoy yourself" Nesryn said to the maid, who bowed her head and left.

Azriel pulled out a chair for her and she flashed him a grateful smile, before sitting down, he pushed it back in before walking back to his seat. He placed food on her plate first, cutting the pancakes into bite sized pieces and the bacon too. Nesryn smiled at him and they started eating, Azriel mostly finished the salad while Nesryn devoured the bacon, much to Azriel's delight.

"When's your next chemo?" Azriel asked softly, reaching in and intertwining their hand together. "In two days, why?" she asked, nibbling on the last piece of bacon on her plate.

"Nothing, I just want to make sure, so I can go with you" he said, with a sad smile. "You know you don't always have to be there right?" she asked, rubbing her thumb on his hand.

"I'll always be there and you know that" he whispered, standing up and taking their empty plates and then entering the kitchen once again. Nesryn followed after him, drinking glasses on hand. Azriel took the glasses from her and started washing dishes, ignoring her when she offered to help him.

He wiped his hands before scooping Nesryn bridal style and left the kitchen and back to his room where he slowly laid her down on the bed, Nesryn wrapped her arms around him and he leaned in for a kiss. Nesryn didn't let him go or even let Azriel get back up, he was forced to trap her in between his arms, as their kisses got hotter.

This time, Azriel was the first one to pull away, carefully releasing Nesryn's hold from him. He just stayed there, hovering over her, staring at her eyes. Nesryn looked back at Azriel with a questioning gaze.

"It's nothing, I just remember how I fell in love with you and now I am falling in love with you all over again" Time stopped for the two as the whole world revolved around the two of them. Nesryn sucked in a breath when Azriel leaned in and captured her lips once again.

They spent the whole weekend together, alone in their own world. If opportunities arose he would try to talk her into quitting her job as a secretary and just stay with him in the mansion, but Nesryn would just brush it off saying "I prefer working with you" before leaving him alone.

The next day, Azriel was scheduled to fly to Italy and Nesryn packed his suitcase, it was an emergency meeting of the higher ups that required Azriel's presence. The branch in Italy under Azriel's discretion was breached and many files were stolen, including those that are scheduled to be put out into the general public.

Brand new technologies that were under experimentation were stolen from the test lab it was sealed in. It was a brand new technology that the research lab has been researching upon that was said to be a microchip that can access the wi-fi everywhere in the world. Apparently, from what the survivors from the labs said before everyone went into a panic mode.

There was an armed van that was parked on the employee parking area for two days and when the guards came to check it, the van exploded, apparently from what they heard, military was called, from what they salvaged from the van's blackbox, an address was found and when they got there, their microchips were being reproduced.

"Those microchips can hack through anything" one of the surviving researchers said, according to the reports that was handed to Azriel and Azriel called in for a meeting in Italy.

"I am really sorry I can't come with you to the therapy" Azriel whispered as he wrapped his arms around Nesryn, by the mansion's front door at 3 am. The black car waiting for him to take him to the airport.

Nesryn shook her head and placed a hand on his cheek, in which he nuzzled "be careful in Italy, Azriel. You know it's not too late, I can still come with you" she tried convincing him once again. Azriel pulled back and placed a kiss on her forehead and slowly shook his head.

"You need to go under therapy and you won't miss any of it due to job" he said, running a hand on her head "Bu-" Azriel just shook his head "Take care of the office for me, I sent a heads up to the board of directors, leaving you in charge" he said before holding his hand.

Nesryn clutched her robe as she watched the car door open. Azriel turned around and took her lips with his one last time before parting and saying his goodbye "Please be careful Azriel" she whispered to him and he nodded with a sad smile on his face "Call me anytime okay baby?" he asked and she nodded.

With one last look, Azriel turned around and boarded the car, rolling down the window "I love you sweetheart" he said and Nesryn smiled "I love you too" she yelled and the driver started the car and drove out of the mansion grounds.

Nesryn stayed by the front door, watching as the car became smaller and smaller as the car drove farther and farther away from the mansion. The butler made his way beside her and bowed his head.

"It's time for you to go back madam, the master told me to take care of you, whilst he is away" Nesryn faced the man and flashed him a smile, the man returned the smile and led her way back to the family wing. "I'll be coming back at 7 am with your breakfast, I assume since the master is gone you would like to eat in this wing's dining area"

Nesryn didn't know what to say and just nodded. The butler bowed his head and left her alone, in front of Azriel's bedroom, she went back in, closing the door behind her. She took off her robe, revealing a black nightgown and she went back to bed, inhaling Azriel's lingering scent and willed herself back to sleep.

As promised, the butler woke her up at 7 am with her breakfast in tow. Maids prepared her bath while she was eating under the watchful eyes of the old man. He made sure that she took her medicine on time.

Nesryn was so bothered by the whole set up, all her life she had to do everything by herself, but now, someone's doing it for her. No matter how many times she insisted that she'll take care of certain things the maids would just respectfully bow their heads and offer their apology before returning back to work.

The butler would just lead her away. Maids helped her during her bath, they said they were instructed to take care of her in every single way, by Azriel. Nesryn was in deep thought while she dressed for the office for the day.

Her usual white blouse and dark red skirt paired with white three inches heels. With one last look in the mirror, she left the room and the house, with a farewell bow from the butler and maids who sent her off.

She arrived at the office safe and sound, she greeted some of the employees who said their good morning and boarded the elevator, she pulled out her work tablet and read what other things Azriel had for the day, letting out small sigh of relief when she didn't have to attend too much meeting. It atleast totalled to twelve separate meetings for the day.

When the elevator door opened, Nesryn was surprised to come face-to-face with Attendant Yun who greeted her with a smile. She returned the smile and stepped out of the lift.

"The boss instructed me to help you while he's gone" he said and Nesryn can't help but sigh "Here as well huh?" she muttered under her breath but Mr. Yun was able to hear her and he looked at her, confused.

"He also instructed his butler and the maids back in the mansion to take care of me" she sighed and they walked to the office. Attendant Yun laughed at this "The boss really loves you, do you know that?" he asked, winking when he saw her wide eyes.

"Don't worry, no one else knows, I just knew because I connected some puzzle pieces along the way. You're perfect for him" he reassured Nesryn.

She was deep in thought, making her way to her desk when Attendant Yun stopped her from seating, she looked at him in confusion and raised eyebrow "The boss said, you are to use his office while he's out" Nesryn stared at the man and he opened the door, waiting for her to go inside.

Nesryn waited for Attendant Yun to say he was kidding and was just messing with her head, but after five minutes of staring at each other, she slowly came to realize "Oh gosh, you're serious" she said before giving up when she saw him give a nod.

"I never agreed to this" she muttered to him as she passed him by and Attendant Yun started laughing "That's what he said on how you'll react as well"

"How and when the hell did he arrange all of this?! He received the call at midnight" she asked when Attendant Yun pulled out Azriel's swivel chair and gestures for her to sit on it. "I got the call at around two in the morning, he specifically instructed me to do certain things, one is to assist you and two is to make sure you don't overwork yourself" he simply stated, gesturing for her to sit down.

She frantically shook her head and made her way to sit on the couch, she firmly stayed in place even though Attendant Yun insisted she make her way to the desk. In the end, Nesryn won and they started the day in the office.

In all the meetings she attended with Mr. Yun, everybody treated her just like how they would treat Azriel and for her that was so ridiculous.

She finished half of the day with a headache, she took her medicine after eating lunch with Attendant Yun, while waiting for the next meeting, she read through some of the files on Azriel's desk, taking it back to the sofa with her.

After checking and re-reading the file she returned those acceptable to the desk and took the rejected folders back to their respective departments for revisions.

Nesryn was able to attend all the scheduled meetings including 4 unexpected ones, she didn't accept those that are asking for other companies to sign with them since in the end, she was just a proxy for Azriel and not the one that should be making big decisions.

Attendant Yun said she can do whatever she wants, he said that Azriel's exact words were"Let her have everything she wants, I could care less, just make sure she's happy"

When Attendant Yun said that, he was sure he saw a tick mark appear on her forehead, she kept grumbling under her breath after that. He managed to hear some of the things she was saying and he prayed for the well-being of his boss when he comes back. Her words weren't exactly pleasant, per se.
