The Midnight Secretary

Brotherhood

The night before Tyler experienced how having a vampire drinking your blood feels like. Today, he's trying to explain to Jared his entire schedule, but not really succeeding. " The next schedule is for today. The reports from the different departments are on your desk. Would you like anything else?" Tyler asked politely hoping he was done.

" So NOT SEXY!" Jared angrily exclaimed. " I mean yeah, you're pretty good-looking, but come on! Your clothes are plain and boring. Your hair is gelled to look even more neat, but it just looks even more boring. And your glasses aren't even stylish. They're like old librarian glasses. " Jared pointed out at his bewildered and annoyed secretary.

" Well, I'm sorry for not being sexy, director! But even if I put any effort in that department. I still have limitations-" Tyler tried to explain, but was of course cut off by Jared.

" Limitations!?" Jared questioned disbelievingly, " You're a liar. Those glasses aren't even prescribed, am I right?" He said while taking his forefinger and thumb, and placing directly under Tyler's chin to turn his head his way. Their faces were only an inch apart and he could feel Tyler's panicked breathing. " You can fool other people, but not me. Last night your glasses fell off while I was drinking from you and you could see fine."

Tyler was surprised since he didn't even notice such a thing because all his senses were too busy paying attention to his boss drinking from him. He blushed remembering the events that transpired that night. He tried to back up quickly, but hit the wall causing him to be cornered. " I... It's difficult to explain, but my glasses are to correct a small astigmatism. I get headaches, and..." Tyler tried to explain weakly, but was failing horribly.

" If you get headaches then why do you gel your hair so much it looks like it hurts-" Jared wondered at his secretary's antics.

" If I don't then they look completely messy, and..." Tyler was trying to think up something, but was failing miserably. There was an odd silence that followed.

Jared was looking speculatively at his secretary. He lit a cigar, and a small smile began to appear on his lips. " Hmm, my usually cool, capable, and composed secretary is panicking right before my eyes. I'm getting very curious as to why you are so adamant on this kind of style."

" I assure you that I am at my best." 'The problem is I look too good, apparently. Other people just don't seem to take me as seriously and completely ignore my capabilities by judging my looks instead.' Tyler quietly excused himself and left closing the door. 'Truth is, I didn't panic 'cause of the glasses, but because he touched me. I can understand how those men and women just let him do whatever he wants to them now. Every time, I approach him I keep being reminded of that night, and those feelings, whether I want to or not. But I'm different. I know the reason those feelings show up. They are to distract the victim from being aware of the vampire drinking from them. My body's reactions had nothing to do with my feelings. I need to find a logical way to explain these feelings. I have to...' Tyler thought. After being deep in thought Jeff, Jared's older brother and company manager, came by to have a little talk. Tyler made some tea for the siblings. " Excuse me, but I brought the tea." Tyler proclaimed happily, A warm smile was on his face because of a certain company manager's presence.

* * * *

" Thank you, Tyler " Jeff replied warmly with a gentle smile. He turned to Jared having a discussion with him about being less brutal. " Don't you think you're too quick tempered? You should try to be more gentle with this business. Otherwise, the other company's employees will be affected as well. It will be a complete disaster for them."

" Ha! You're too naive, Jeff." Jared scoffed at him.

'The director doesn't miss a chance at bringing down humans, but he's even worse on his own brother.' Tyler thought sadly.

" I won't leave him and his employees like this. I'm going to bring them down so hard, they're gonna make reaching rock bottom look high." Jared proclaimed proudly with not a hint of sympathy in his voice.

" You're a brute!" Jeff answered shocked at his younger brother's cruel attitude.

'Well said manager.' Tylerthought slyly while walking away back to his desk, ' I guess, they were talking about Director Singer. He's trying to oppose the company's current establishment. And I've seen a few documents relating to him and his department. I'm sure the boss is thinking up something. I'll just do some research on the guy so that I can provide some info to the boss.' After thinking things through Tyler noticed Jeff stepping out of Jared's office.

" Please, don't be reckless about this." Jeff worried for his little brother, while said little brother couldn't care less.

" I don't need you to tell me that. If you're done here just scram. " Jared replied harshly, and slammed the door in the other man's face. A thick awkward silence filled the room with both Tyler and Jeff being left speechless, and not knowing what to say to the other.

" I know his attitude is one of the worst. Hell, maybe it is, but he's not such a horrible person at heart." Jeff tried to explain his younger brother's actions to Tyler. While the other man upon hearing such a thing just had a look of utter disbelief on his face. " No, I'm serious! And it's not like we don't get along... I care about him whether he treats me well or not." Jeff tried to reason with a sad smile on his face. After that little chat Tyler went back in to Jared's office to see if he could be of any assistance.

" Hurry, and clean this mess up. Oh, and make sure you've removed all evidence of Jeff being in this room. Their making me feel depressed." Jared pointed out with his cigarette holding hand.

Tyler was having his break by spending it at the secretarial lounge. On his way there he spotted a group of people discussing something. He identified some of them. The one he noticed the most was the president of the Polverini Corp. , Mr. Gerald Polverini, the father of the two brothers who are also in the group accompanying him. The vice president, his younger brother Thomas Polverini was there of course. There was a rumor going around that the VP was opposing the president about his management policies. Director Singer- a quite chubby man- is using advantage of that by trying to produce an anti- establishment party within the the company, a party to support the vice-president.

After that Tyler went straight to the secretarial lounge to find that some of the other secretaries were already talking about gossip or complaints about Director Singer's eating habits. He was drowning everything out until one of the secretaries began to talk about the two Polverini brothers in a dreamy voice. When he heard that they were talking about Jared's, the director, habits he became a bit worried. Then one of them began to talk to him telling him how lucky he was. The secretary in charge of the rest came barging in telling to go back to work and that this isn't the time or place to gossip which Tylerfully agreed with.

He was walking with the vice-president's secretary who he admired. He believed that he was the perfect secretary so he strives to be as good as him. As they were walking he passed by Director Singer talking with another man that was from the Bolton Department. He felt something was suspicious and kept his eyes peeled for anything. Tyler arrived at Jared's office and knocked. No one said anything so he just let himself in and saw Jared was on the phone.

" Then we won't make it... The conference is tomorrow!" Jared said loudly not noticing Tyler's presence in the room. " Do what you want. Just get a hold of it! Got it?" at that moment he turned and finally realized Tyler was there with him.

" Excuse me, director will there be anything else?" Tyler asked politely.

" No, you may go home..."

" According to the forecast, the weather will be bad tonight. So please be careful on your way home, director." He put on his trench coat and umbrella, and soon excused himself. Tyler was later out the building, and he looked at the darkening sky. He felt that the director, Jared, was going to use everything he had for this shady business. He didn't want to get involved, but felt uneasy about everything. While deep in thought rain began to pour down, and he lost his train of thought.

* * * *

The next day when Tyler arrived at the office he was greeted with a very annoyed Jared angrily smoking.

" Director, it's time for the meeting at Bolton Headquarters." Tyler announced and then Jared's cell phone began to ring.

" It's me," said Jared telling whoever was on the other line." Okay, I understand... Say What? Damn it! It can't be helped. I'll try to do something. Keep in touch..." After that mysterious phone call he flipped it closed and looked directly at Tyler ready to tell him his orders. Tyler being the good and obedient employee waited patiently with a blank expression. " Tyler!"

" Yes!" Tyler replied right away.

" Head to Bolton Department Store. When you get there you will meet a man that will give you documents. Singer, gets his money from Bolton, and in return they receive special privileges. The documents you receive will be proof of that. Once you obtain the files make sure they are the correct documents. I'm sure a mere glance is enough for you. Go and bring it to me." Ordered Jared with a tone of voice that was not to be questioned.

" Yes, sir" Tyler on his way to the department store when all of a sudden rain began to pour in. He was given more orders. He arrived and reviewed the rest of Jared's directions. He was pretending to be a customer and was told when he arrived to look for a person named Clark, on the second floor where they sold shoes. He was no longer wearing his Polverini Corp. secretarial uniform, but casual clothing. Once he had the documents he took a taxi to head over to Bolton Headquarters where he was told Jared would be at the time. Sadly, the traffic was getting in the way. He was given explicit orders to arrive on time. Tyler having no other choice, got out of the cab into the downpour and walked or more specifically ran to the headquarters. By the time he arrived he was soaking wet, and his clothes were stuck to him as if it were his second skin. He talked to one of the guards to inform the director Jared Polverini that his secretary has arrived.

Meanwhile during the meeting, Jared was patiently waiting for Tyler. A woman who could only be identified as a secretary told him that Tyler had arrived. He took the elevator and punched in the button

for the main lobby. The sight that met him was not something that he expected. He told Tyler to wear casual clothing so he understood his attire, but not how he looked like now. Tyler was wearing dark jeans that fit very well on him. His shirt was a white v-neck, and he had a jacket over it but was not able to hide much from one's own imagination. Tyler wasn't wearing any glasses so Jared was able to clearly see his jade green eyes, and a dusting of freckles across his cheeks and nose. His hair was also clearly wet so the gel in his hair washed off to reveal spiky dark blonde hair. Jared was speechless. He even began to feel aroused, and was utterly distracted by the sight until Tyler spotted him and call him over.

" Director!" Tylergreeted oblivious to his boss staring at him and arousal.

" Are you Tyler?" Jared asked finally able to make his voice work and tried to compose himself.

" I'm sorry for calling you out during your meeting, but I have the documents you sent me for. By the way you said it was okay to tell them I'm from Polverini Corp. so I did. The only way they would have let me in was if it was confirmed. "

" I'm sorry, but no matter how I look at him he looks too young. He looks like my son who is still in his first year in college." A security guard with a contrite demeanor explained. After hearing the guard's acknowledgement Jared, as if a light bulb were shining on his head, understood his secretary's sense of style. He laughed at the thought.

" So that's your reason for dressing like that?" Jared questioned still chuckling. When he saw Tyler's expression turn into a pout he couldn't hold back any of his laughter and guffawed. He was finally able to control himself enough to stop laughing, but couldn't stop the big dimpled smile that spread on his face. Schooling his face into a serious expression he asked for the documents.

" Yes, they're right here." Tyler replied already getting his papers from a black bag. He handed them to his Jared.

" ... Okay. Now, you already know too much so that's one more reason not to let you go. You've become much more resolute than when you first started as a vampire's secretary... Wait in the car." Jared admitted with a fond smile on his face. After Tyler received his praises from the director he had a smile that would have lit the entire room. Jared continued on with his meeting, and finally having the documents he ended it with flying colors.

Once Tyler reached the car he asked the driver for a towel. While he was trying to dry his hair he spotted the two Polverini brothers walking side by side talking about the meeting.

" Both Bolton and Singer became as pale as death." Jeff commented, " Now that I think about it, it's true that there were tons of contracts with Bolton that were more than profitable for conditions. Their were a few reports stating that Singer was deceiving us with them. The documents you showed were only a bit of the evidence. All they can do is hint that the perpetrators were Singer and Bolton. "

" But they both understood that we have concrete evidence, too. This time it was only a mild threat. Each of the sides doesn't want to separate from Bolton or Polverini Corp. As for Bolton, it will just end with him smiling politely and saying that he was also cheated just like us. Singer will be given an oh, so stern warning, and that's that." Jared said nonchalantly.

" But they really were as white as sheets."

" So that was why you whined about being gentle? Are you satisfied yet?"

" No...", Jeff admitted with a melancholic voice. " You're the one that always has to get his hands dirty. This, time, I'll say that you were ordered by me to do this, okay?"

Hearing what his brother was saying Jared took two fistfuls of his older brother's shirt. " For once in your life, use your head. You are the person on the very top of this organization's hierarchy. You CAN'T stain your hands. You finally need to learn how to use the tools available to you." Jared said angrily pushing his brother and letting him go while walking away.

Unbeknownst to the two siblings, Tyler was listening to everything, and when he noticed Jared walking to his direction he hid behind the wall. ' So the director is just trying to protect his older brother. Then why does he treat him so badly?' these thoughts were going all over Tyler's mind, and he never noticed that he was spotted until Jared called his name. 'Got me!' He turned around to confront the director and manager.

" Huh!?... I'm sorry, Tyler, for my reaction, but you look different. Where are your glasses?"Jeff questioned surprised by Tyler's new 'look'.

" Yes, well they got blurry because of the rain drops so I had to take them off. When I tried to wipe them I accidentally dropped and stepped on them. " Tylerconfessed shyly not wanting Jeff to see him like this.

" Ha ha ha... Well I knew you were a capable secretary, but now I see you're very cute as well."

Tyler blushed beet red at his comment. " Excuse me, sir, thank you for your compliment, but girls are cute. Men are handsome." Tyler said trying to convince Jeff to forget his earlier comment on his looks , but fell short when he was still blushing. Jared on the other hand had an unreadable look on his face when his older brother said so.

" Let's go." Jared said declaring the conversation to be done. There was an awkward silence in the car, but Jared broke it. " Good for you. Your favorite prince riding his white steed said you looked cute. Should've showed him that face of yours the first time." Jared said sarcastically with a hint of jealousy in his voice. The hint was lost on Tyler who was completely oblivious.

" I'm sorry for how I appeared when you saw me in the lobby. I know that a secretary should not even look like this. Even more so for an employee at Polverini Corp..." Tyler tried to apologize, but trailed off running out of things to say.

At his secretary's apology he looked closely at him looking for any sign of a lie, but there was none. " Ah, so the way you dress is what you believe a secretary should look like. The reason is because the real face of the perfect secretary, TylerAllyn, is even more gorgeous than a moder, and makes him look much younger than his real age. Right? You wanted to fool everyone. Even I couldn't really imagine what the 'real' you looks like. And yet, I still acknowledged you as a very capable secretary..." admitted Jared taking a smoke," Cliff stop by my optician's."

" Yes, sir." Replied Cliff obediently.

" Director?" Tyler queried wondering what he's thinking of doing.

" You said that you couldn't do without your glasses right? Then it can't be helped." Jared answered without looking at Tyler, still smoking nonchalantly. " I'll buy them for you, but it has to be something sexy this time."

'What am I going to do? I don't know if it's because the manager called me cute or if it's because the director finally acknowledged my capability as a secretary. I'm so happy... but I don't know which one i'm even more happy about. ' thought Tyler while trying out different glasses at the aforementioned place.

The next day Jared was sullen because Tyler choose the exact same kind of glasses as his earlier ones.
