A helping hand !!!

Renai took one slip of paper after the other and read it through. She didn't understand a word that was on it. She would never finish the pile today, let alone in two hours. Desperate, she leaned against the table. She was going to be blown, she was sure of that. Then what should she do? Then she could forget her story.

She stopped. What was she doing here anyway? All because of a story? Because of her story? She was in the KC and she had submitted to Kaiba. How deep was it?

Ai got up. No, it would go away. She went to the door and turned the handle. Determined, she walked down the hall. When she got to the elevator she pressed the button to call the elevator.

"And? Have you got any further?" Startled, she turned to the voice. Mokuba stood in front of her and smiled curiously at her. A sigh was heard from her. "Nothing. But I don't need that anymore. I'm going." The little boy looked at her disappointed. “It's a shame, I thought it was so good.” Ai looked at him confused. “You thought something was good?” “Your story,” he explained with a cheeky grin. "You had left the folder in your room. I was curious and then took a look." Ashamed, he played with his foot and rubbed it on the floor. "But I thought it was really good. If Seto finds out about it he can surely help you to publish it." He beamed from ear to ear as he talked so wonderfully about his brother. "Never !!" Ai took his shoulders and gave him a piercing look. Mokuba looked at her fearfully. “Why do you want to go anyway?” She let go of him and sighed. With a contemplative look she went to a window and looked out. "I pretended to be a secretary, but that's not for me. I can't live up to his expectations. If he then realizes that it was just an excuse for such a damn interview, then he'll kick me out anyway. So I'd better go right away voluntarily. "Suddenly she felt a hand on her arm. She followed him and saw that he belonged to Mokuba. "He won't find out. I'll help you" He really was an angel. You could always rely on him.

She looked at him resolutely. "Ok, I'll stay" Both smiled at each other, confident of victory.

Suddenly you heard a soft * ping * and the elevator arrived. With him, Seto Kaiba. "Ah, Nikushimi. Already finished with work? I guess I really underestimated it" With these words he went towards his office.

Renai slumped. "I'm gone" Mokuba tried to help her up. "Come on. We can do it. I'll help you. Besides. It can't be that much." With a nasty grin, Ai dragged him into her office, behind her.

There she let go of it in front of the desk and pointed to the pile of paperwork. "Not much? That looks worse than my homework in my high school." Mokuba opened his mouth to say something, but then read it.Renai was right. It was really a lot. He willingly rolled up his sleeves. "Where there's a will, there's a way" Renai was deeply relieved. She knew that for this kind of help, she would have to get really great reciprocation.

Together, after Mokuba explained everything to her, they cleared the pile within an hour.

They stood proudly in front of the finished pile and grinned at each other.

"Kaiba will be amazed. Thank you Mokuba. Without you I would never have made it." "No cause. I'll be happy to do it" Renai took the stack and gave Mokuba a little kiss on the forehead. "You have something good with me for that" With these words she went out and made her way to Kaiba's office, which was not far from hers.

What is he going to say? She made it even earlier than he expected. She could now safely do the next job on her own. Mokuba just had to explain the basics to her.

When she got to Kaiba's office door, she freed one hand from the thread of paper and knocked. By "entering" she opened the door and stepped in. She proudly put the pile in front of him.

"I have to admit that I didn't expect that. You are really up to the job." "Thanks, I told you before" Renai was now very happy. Kaiba had apologized to her, if not directly. But thus she had triumphed over him. Your honor was saved.

Suddenly a new pile of papers, at least three times the first, crashed onto the desk in front of her.

"Because they did the others so quickly, I'll give them four hours to do it," Renai's mouth opened. That was a joke. Was he going to torture her or what? Completely exhausted, she took the pile and dragged herself into her office. She dropped the pile on the table and sank into her chair.
