Natasha almost dropped her cup with Ross’ booming introductions. She sighed, and closed her eyes. Maintaining her composure and calm persona, she spoke.
“Hello. it’s nice to meet you both..” she replied firmly. She frowned at the mention of the name “Tilly”
“Pardon my rudeness, but please call me ‘Nat’. she shot a look at Ross, before speaking again.
“Ross tends to make nicknames that are unfitting, nor am I this ‘shy’ she speaks of. I just keep to myself.” she sipped from the cup again.
Ross felt the glare of her assistant as she looked away chuckling with a smile.
“Giovanno Duvalli, family lawyer and consigliere.” said Giovanno as he set the cup down to offer his hand. “I trust we’ll have your full-cooperation in the coming assignments? Do well, and you will be rewarded.” He didn’t bother to talk about the consequences. They’ll know when a rat steps forward.
Speaking of family, Ross remembered she got a special gift for Giovanno while she was scavenging her supplies for a gift for Fendel. Hopefully, its acceptable this time…
Nukk gave a happy sound to the voice that called for sunny-side up eggs. One of nukk’s favorite egg styles.She grinned, exclaiming happily, “Sunny-side up it is ! ” Nukk would grasp the nearby container of eggs which was wrapped in a foil to keep the temperature within at a stable, healthy, level. She would unwrap the container and take out two eggs from within. Two was a good number in her opinion. It suggested she cared to give the consumer enough food to be satisfied without suggesting that they are pigs by giving them too much. At least that’s how her mind sized such a situation up.
The click of the flame igniting on the burner echoed out followed a few minutes later by the sound of an egg hitting the other would ring out. Then the light clatter of the shell splitting on the side of the pan allowing the eggs to pour out carefully to the prepared pan. Nukk seemed more pleased by the sight of Gio helping himself to the buffet.’i’m glad my food is not going to be all for waste.’ nukk thought to herself. Though she considered donating what was not used to a shelter.Yeah, that seemed like a good idea.
Even though Ross already stuffed her plate and mouth with food, watching Nukk cook eggs made her even more hungry. That aside, Ross is starting to think Nukk has mistaken her gender. ‘Aww, how cute~ I suppose I shouldn’t ruin her idea of me, should I?’ Ross quietly smirked while she took a bite out of her toast. Okay, she really wants eggs now. Chew and swallow, “I’ll have sunny side up too!” Ross requested at last moments.
”Gio-Pio~ Your eggs are almost ready!” Nukk would declare boldly a nickname she’d designed for him while shifting the movement of her arm sharply to give the eggs a little shake to keep them evenly cooking without sticking to the pan.
“Gio-Pio! Pfft.” Ross sputtered as she tried to contain her laughter, for there was food stuffed in her face. Napkin, napkin! Covering her face with a napkin while looking away, shaking with giggles.
((Gotta eat fast guys- omg- Ross- why you talk so much.))
((Quick Intro? Or a Fast shot down to formalities.))
((Boss wants to meet soon \OvO)/))

“Sure.” she said flatly, still upset, but hiding it well.
“You know, first impressions matter, Ross.” she muttered sternly to her senior.
“If you ruin my first chance to give a good impression, you’re going to be down one assistant.” she sipped from the cup, resting it back on the plate.
“I’m sorry, Tilly! But, the boss isn’t even around… Actually, no one’s around but us. Huh.” Ross replied after realizing, they they were the only one around… until, he walked in.
As soon as Giovanno neared the entrance of the main hall, the smell of bread wafted in the air. He caught sight of the buffet table with all kinds of food displayed for everyone to eat. A look of approval appeared on his face. It was a lot better than bread and cheese.
He turned to his phone just to check if there were any more incoming messages from his subordinates, before placing it back into his right pocket. It was time to dig in. As he strode into the room, he noticed some of the members were already in the hall. Giovanno would normally mind the commotion, but he was too hungry right now, and it wasn’t as if there was a meeting or an assignment at that moment. Hell, he was just pleased to see there were actually some early birds around the villa.
09, 33, 49. “You’re all early.” remarked Giovanno to catch everyone’s attention.
Turning to the gentleman, tapped her finger on her cheek in thoughts. Ross examined him from top to bottom, “Oh my, your still as fashionable as ever, Mr. Duvalli! It has been so long! Sit, sit! I made coffee~” Ross gestured at the elder gentleman, turning to Nukk, she responded back, “Well, then you won’t mind if this sir here gets your cup then? I’ll make something suitable for you to drink then.” smiling, as she went to place a cup of black coffee in front of Giovanno’s seat. Would you like some sugar with that? Ross then came out with a cup of warm milk tea for Nukk and sat herself down with a cup of coffee for herself as well.
“Well, since no one else is arriving, shall the early birds get their first meal?” Ross commented, “I would say a little prayer, but we’re all hungry are we not?” she chatted on, grabbing food from the table. The smell of food was becoming more unbearable to wait on, Ross dug in, as elegantly as she can… stuffing her mouth with small bites and swallowing it all whole. “Oh! Right! Mr. Duvalli, Ms. Kõiv, this is my assistant at my shop, Natasha Elizabeth Collins. I don’t think you three have met properly, right? She may be shy, but she’s a wonderful assistant! You can call her Tilly for short!” Ross spouted on while she ate… Fortunately, not with her mouth full.
Would you like some Coffee? →
The sound of heels clacking against the floor grew louder. Slow, even steps. Natasha had made it downstairs in record time. Carefully surveying the room, and chose a seat and sat down, crossing her left leg over the right. She frowned, not seeing Ross anywhere.
“What, afraid to admit you made a mistake, Ross?” she said coolly, with scorn in her voice. She maintained a calm, professional character while awaiting her senior.
Rushing out carefully with a tray of tea cups, cream, and sugar in her right hand while holding the coffee pot in her other, Ross walked out from the kitchen towards the dining table where Natasha sat and placed a cup in front of her. “Coffee?” Ross smiled innocently, as if nothing happened. Though, one can see she broke a sweat from guilt.
The food smelled so delicious… it was easy to forget others.

“Ah… she usually takes her time but that’s only when she wakes up early enough to get ready. Right now, she’d probable did a quick and simple look.” Ross responded out loud as she watched the coffee pot cook. “But ah~ She looks so cute when she dress like a business woman and cuter when in her uniform~” Ross began to daydream with lovely thoughts on Tilly as the coffee cooked to a boil. Returning back to reality, Ross begun setting out the necessities for the coffee tray. Maybe she’ll wait in here until Natasha sits down… it looks safer to bring a pot of hot coffee and fresh cream then to wait outside for her.
“Really? Well, if that’s the case maybe we should just wait for her to arrive, i don’t want the eggs to get cold. cold eggs are disgusting. ” Nukk noted. Though she looked back toward the figure she’d deemed a man after quick observation. The words that followed only confirmed in Nukk’s mind of this. “o-oh, is she that pretty, hmm? ” Nukk’s cheeks puffed a little. Perhaps jealous over the woman she’d never met being admired. ”Do you like her or something? ” Nukk questioned with a wiggle of her eyebrows and index fingers toward the distant figure.
“Haha, that’s for sure! Cept they taste alright if they’re in a sandwich for me.” in response to the cold eggs. Unaware that Nukk see’s Ross as a man, she continued on to answer Nukk’s question, “Yes! I do~ When I first saw her, she was the perfect assistant I needed with her small figure, pink cheek, and beautiful walk! An ideal woman~ and she’s not too bad when she get’s to work, work.” Ross chuckled. Standing in front of the coffee tray, Ross began to ponder and said out loud, barely audible, “Though, sometimes I wonder… why did she choose me?”
.
.
“Ah! Where is she? The coffee will get cold.” Ross pouted as she returned back to her normal state. Ross decided to pour herself a cup too, “Do you want some coffee, Nukk?” she asked.
“Oh I guess that’s the only good time. Egg salad sandwiches are delicious. I’d get fat if i had too many of them to eat though.” she noted with a light laugh. Though she flushed a bit to the description of the woman, puffing her cheeks a bit, “Sounds like the type of girl any guy would like.” Nukk stated in an envious tone. “maybe she thinks you’re cute too, or her kind of guy, i don’t know much about that stuff. Though i can fill bellies just fine.” she stated tapping the table-top stove.
“Maybe she went back to sleep?” Nukk sounded helpful. ”n-no thanks ! coffee stunts growth.” she assured as she always would when it came to coffee in general.
“Oh yes! She is such a catch!” Ross admitted in pride, but she couldn’t hear clearly what Nukk said about herself, “Eh? What?” she asked, then went to respond to the last words. “Oh, no no no~ Tilly isn’t the type to go back to sleep after waking up~ and don’t be silly!” Ross popped her head out from the door, “That is just an old wives tale to tell their children not to drink coffee at a young age!”

- “Hello, hello??? Good Morning, Tilly! I hope your hungry! There’s abundance of food out on the dining table! We’ll be waiting!!!” Ross explained in a haste the moment she hears Natasha picked up the phone…
“W-whaaaat?” the sleepy girl hissed from under her black locks, that covered her face.
“What the hell is the time, Ross? I don’t even see the sun yet….” She lied there for a moments, waking up a bit, then put together Ross’ hurried verbiage.
“Ross…did you…forget to wake me up?” she growled in a menacing tone. She had always preferred to be early, and Ross was cramping her ability to be early.
Giggling nervously, Ross replied, “Aha…ha… S-Sorry… Its almost 6AM… and, and… there’s food already out. B-but I’ll cook eggs and make coffee for you! So… come out when your ready?” Ross pleaded with stutters. Its a strange sight to see the cheerful lady to be frighten by a little one.
But again, there are people in the world who are frightful in the morning.
Especially those who wants to be up.
Covering the speaker of her phone, she whispered over to Nukk, “Quuuuuick! To the kitchen before she get’s out here!”
“I can’t believe she forgot to wake me up. My mentor can’t even take care of herself, let alone an apprentice!” the raven-haired woman hissed as she got herself ready at a faster pace than normal. She had showered the night before, so she could at least get herself put together in time.
“Making me look bad in front of my new boss too, Ross?” she muttered to herself, slipping a shirt on. She swiftly located her skirt, stockings and heels, all on in a flash. Frowning in the mirror, she took her time putting her hair up, not to miss one detail. Tied back neatly and tightly. She brushed on a small amount of blush, then put her glasses on for the finishing touch.
“Not bad for a rush job…” she complimented herself, adjusting her glasses with a single singer. She snapped open her mobile and sent out a quick text to Ross. it’s contents?“I’m coming.”
Nukk jolts at the movements of the other figure and the comb. Flailing those arms in a defensive manner, yet not one that meant to harm, obviously she didn’t want to hurt family. However, it was her hair, and she liked it the way it was perhaps too much so. Nukk, more or less, began to move away from the ‘attacking’ figure as if she were a poisonous figure. Darting about the length of the table to avoid said comb assault. “Clean up ? But there’s so much food no ones begun to eat yet! We should wait for the others. Surely someone will arrive soon.” Nukk suggested assuming the figure meant the food table and what not.
Nukk’s hand raised, rubbing her hair to a fluffy mess once again, grumbling to herself as she fixed that messy side-ponytail and flicked smooth her open jacket’s collar. “What a strange man.” Nukk muttered aloud to herself as the figure ran off to the kitchen. Nukk looked down at her clothing, wondering if she’d dressed proper enough, she wasn’t at all comfortable in such stuffy clothes either. From slacks to button up shirt it was a sight that told she meant business and perhaps an awkward look for such a short-structured woman.
It didn’t help Nukk’s features to have all the scrapes and bruises she did. however, such things seemed to never escape her flesh. Oh well. It was meant to be, after all, what was a body guard without some proof that bodies were guarded? Nukk raised her slender hand, short-obviously chewed off nails and all, scratching at a band-aid on her cheek while she waited. “how long does it usually take her to get here?” she questioned loudly.
“Ah… she usually takes her time but that’s only when she wakes up early enough to get ready. Right now, she’d probable did a quick and simple look.” Ross responded out loud as she watched the coffee pot cook. “But ah~ She looks so cute when she dress like a business woman and cuter when in her uniform~” Ross began to daydream with lovely thoughts on Tilly as the coffee cooked to a boil. Returning back to reality, Ross begun setting out the necessities for the coffee tray.
