The start of a wonderful relationship //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter one. The start of a wonderful relationship It was dark. The room lit by candle and barely shows off anything. It seems scary as a pony lying down was tossing and turning seeming to be having a nightmare Then suddenly the pony woke up. That ponys name was sternly sapphire. He a had just had a nightmare about drowning again and sighed as he got up. He a unicorn used his magic to light up the rest of the candles in the room. He hating how the powers out till the mechanic comes He gets up stretching and puts on his comfy suit. Basically a sweatshirt that’s made of a super soft materiel that he’s designed after a full suit and with magic looks like one. He smiled and decided that he’ll get to work early today. He heads to the kitchen and makes his own food leaving his butler a note to explain He makes himself some coffee and has some pancakes for breakfast. He’s rather happy about it as his lifestyle is easy going as he gets his tie on. He is happy his magic can automatically do it for him at this point. Sapphire was running around looking for where his phone was left as he had told his butler to put a it on a outlet that was working because there was a few around the house. Once he finds it and sees it’s fully charged he heads to his lounge to relax and take some time off A few hours later and he’s stepping out of his carriage and towards his office excited as there’s supposed to be a business meeting and there coming in a few hours so that leaves sapphire time for his games. He loved his job. What is his job you ask? He convinces those that could start jobs of there own that be successful to work for him as a cover to make sure they get the money. Over time and from conversations of a few years he has some of manehatens best coders and business starters. There Ideas funnel out under his name and boom he’s making the money with doing little business after he got up there he saw something that made him more pissed then he thought possible though as he watched and sees that his secretary was flirting with a mare by showing her around his office. This was the final straw for him. “CHAD STUDYTEN.” The dick bag suddenly became quite the pussy as he freaked out staring at his boss who looked like he was fuming. It wasn’t till later the boss learned everyone about 3 floors down knew chad was fired before the memo came out. Chad was humiliated and fired which fucked up the boss as all the work he didn’t have to do. Angry at the suddenness of the event he suddenly was happier as he looked at the schedule and remembered the mare that was looking for a job was coming. He was curious. Never one to take advantage in the physical sense but he has used them to his advantage getting pictures here or there. He made sure of something and today that was to get the glass chair out of storage. Once in his office he put the mini camera back in place. And waits for the mare to get there. Zila appears to be her name but he’s not sure how she’d want it pronounced. He’d make sure to ask that first. As it got around to the time for her to be there he was confused looking around trying to figure it out why she wasn’t there yet. Then of course he remembers that chads not there to let them in. He opened the doors and decided to act like that was intentional “miss are you there? A phone call ran long” Slowly a small zebra mare pokes her head around the corner and walks into the room. She smaller then sternly by a bit seems intimated but try’s to stay calm “h-hello sir.. my names zila.” After saying it it confirms to him how it’s said and he was happy about not butchering it well saying it “Well miss zila. Tell me what makes you think your material for working here. Also please take a seat” he pointed to the glass one and hits a few buttons making it look like he’s logging into his computer to get information on her to fact check her. In truth he’s turning on the camera hidden under the chair by him She gulps nervously as she sits down and she begins telling her story of how she had a good business of dealing with assets and balancing bills that just over flowed and got out of hoof before she had to give up her business. Sadly it wasn’t the first time sapphire heard this story. But it was the first time he had a mare with such a wide range of references. He starts to wonder what she could do for him. But not for long. He decided to ask her about it. “So tell me zila. What is your opinion on the job of being a secretary?” She seems puzzled and starts to think about it “well do you mean a tasked secretary or one that just followed orders.” her tone was one that seemed slightly offended and immediately he realized why and realized he really needed to make a sudden 180 away from that type of thinking. “Oh no no no no not it’s not like that at all. I’ve just recently lost my personal secretary and it’s the first open spot currently for someone with your set of skills.” He seems really nervous not wanting to come off as a stallion that think mares can’t do a “stallions job” and as such he had been concerned about how she’ll take it or wether she’ll understand. Zila looking flustered was slowly calming down then asked one of the more serious questions “How much is the pay sir? And do I get holidays and sick days?” She had a serious expression wanting to know the stuff that ponys normally aren’t immediately supposed to ask about. Especially during a interview with the boss. Frankly that made him rather happy it showing him she’s daring enough to go against the unwritten rules. “The pay will be 30 bits a hour working 9-7. Because the job runs long normally I give my secretary’s the option of being able to move into the nearby apartment complex. I’ll pay for the room as long as you keep your work up. I’ll pay for the basics anything over that is on you. You will have holidays off and 14 payed sick days. You can only use two in a row after two it would be unpaid. Sound fair so far?” He asked with a smile “Y-yes it is. All of it sounds amazing” she was very shocked with how good it all sounded. And she immediately looks ecstatic. “If I’m accepted sir.. how soon would I start?” He smiled at her excitement to work. “Next Monday. If your contacted and request to be moved to the hotel I’d happily send movers for you” this all seemed like a dream come true to her. “Yes sir. I’d love to be a part of this if possible. You have no idea how much this means to me. Thank you for your time. I hope I haven’t taken to much” she reached her hoof out to shake his and was met with a nice firm grip back. It was encouraging and made her feel welcome. She wishes him goodbye and takes off exited about all this that has transpired today. Sapphire was smirking himself as the doors closed and he went turning off the recording and checking the footage Smirks. “This is the start of a great relationship~” he said quietly to himself she seeming untouched even by herself back there. It made him very happy and very horny. He couldn’t wait till next Monday Author's Note Zee-la. That's how it's supposed to be said for everyone who read it wrong.
