Pushing past the fear she felt, Thirteen lifted her head up, staring her dear boss straight in the eyes. She was trying to act as strong as she could, but that nagging little voice in her head was telling her that she was going to get fired... Or sold. Something along those lines.
"Yes, Miss Kawasaki?" She wanted so bad to just run away right now, hide in a little box somewhere hidden from the judgemental eyes of others. If Miss Kawasaki was going to fire her, why couldn't she wait until AFTER Mr. Eloton had left? Then it would be so humiliating.
"Mr. Eloton here and I have been discussing things for awhile, negotiating. We come to this conclusion; since he has been quite the threat to the business, though I do not know why, we have come up with a proposition. You may not like this, but you will do it." Her voice was firm, giving Thirteen no space to argue, "In order for him to stop attacking KIA, you shall be transferred over to Totuttaa Vereen, and work as his personal secretary. You will treat him as you do me, and listen to him as you do with me. There is no way of getting out of this, Miss Brander, as I have made sure of that." It made Thirteen feel as if she was some animal being passed around with no escape, "You have been a great asset to us here, boosting up our income just by moving things around and ordering things differently than our last, and you will be missed. But if sacrificing you is what it takes to save our company, than sacrificing you is what we shall do. Now, run along and pack your things. Mr. Eloton would like to take you to your new office and get you settled in." With that she looked down at the papers before her, and signing them with a semi-heavy sigh. Miss Kawasaki really didn't want to give up Thirteen, but she had to.
Doing just as she was told, the girl turned sharply on her heel, storming from the room and slamming the heavy wooden doors behind her. With that, she turned around, and opened the doors once more, slamming them once more, just to make her point. Silly, yes. But that was just how the girl was. She trudged the twenty-some feet to her desk, a displeased look on her face, and with a grunt of anger she ripped out the black cloth bag she had stored in her desk. Grabbing the few pictures on her desk, she placed them carefully inside. They were of her boyfriend and family, some even of her friends, one or two of them with her in the picture, smiling quite happily or doing some goofy pose. Next she grabbed that small digital clock next to her computer, and slid that into the bag, closely followed by her sketching pad and iPod. Oh, can't forget the charger. She really didn't have too many personal items at her desk, just enough to keep her entertained, and to make the place not feel so... alien.
Mr. Eloton must have slipped from the room very quietly, and walked the twenty-some feet to her desk without her noticing, because once Thirteen looked up, he was standing right before her with his ever confident smirk. Why did he have to be so gorgeous?! He had piercing icy blue eyes, and black hair that seemed like it would be that ever so popular shaggy hair style if he hadn't had it gelled back so professionally. His suit was completely black, the dress shirt was a deep crimson, and once again the tye was black. That arrogant, confident air he had around him made her melt, and she wasn't sure why. Normally she had people that seemed to just scream that htey demand obediance with just their appearance.
She was getting into something deep, wasn't she?
Mr. Eloton quite obviously noticed her staring at him, and cleared his throat loudly, "Let's go, Miss Alli Brander. I do not have all night to wait for you to memorize every part of my body." He stated coldly, motioning for her to join him at his side. Once she had, he grabbed the semi-heavy black bag from her, carrying for her like a gentlem-- Wait, what?!
"How do you know my name? I don't tell anyone that! Only Miss Kawasaki knew, and I made her promise not to tell anyone else!" She fumed, looking up at her new boss with a small bit of rage. He only seemed to smirk at this, not even looking down at his new employee, as he knew exactly how she was looking at him.
"Well, Alli, you're working for me, so I asked Miss Kawasaki to tell me everything that I needed to know about you. Apparently, your true name was part of the deal." He explained cooly, pushing open the front doors and holding them open for her, once more like a true gentleman.
"Still, the name's Thirteen. I dislike Alli, or Miss Brander, so I insist you call me Thirteen like everyone else." She stated firmly, shivering as the chilly air came in contact with her bare arms, but as she looked up, her eyes windened considerably.

*'He. Has. A. Fucking. LIMO?!'*

A slight nudge on the shoulder woke her from her daze, and she looked down to notice it was from Mr. Eloton brushing past her.
"I prefer Alli much better to Thirteen, so you may as well get used to it." His attention now turned to the man that held the door of the black limo open, "Take us back to Totuttaa Vereen, James. Our newest employee is going to need to settle in, and then we are taking her home." He said firmly, nearly pushing Thirteen into the leather seats of the limo.
"Very good, sir." Was the short reply before the door was shut after Mr. Eloton had settled himself in quite comfortably.
"Tell me about yourself, Alli." It wasn't a request, it was an order. She stayed quiet for a few moments, thinking over what she should tell him.
"Well, I'm twenty-six years old, and I'm from Finland. I moved here when I was about fourteen, and I picked up on the english language quite quickly. I enjoy sketching, and listening to music. Mainly metal. There really isn't much to tell." She shrugged, "Tell me about yourself, Mr. Eloton." He seemed to be getting a bit more relaxed, no longer seeming AS harsh and commanding. He was still scary(and sexy) though.
"I'm twenty-nine, and I've only been the CEO of my company for nine years. I've lived her all my life." He stopped there, not really giving out any other information. Mr. Eloton made it clear that he would give out no more than that... Thirteen would just have to learn about him as she worked for him. Joyy.. She sighed a bit, and after that it began quite silent.

It was a thirty minute drive from KIA Incorporated to Totuttaa Vereen.
A lot of things can happen in that small amount of time.

*'Oh god, help me...'*
