"Yes," she assured him, setting the envelope aside and looked up at him.

He studied her for a moment, disbelief evident on his face. "Uh huh. Feel free to let me know if you do need ice, love. The day's only getting harder from here."

Wonderful… "Is there anything I can do for you, sir?" Robin hardly spoke without addressing him as either 'sir' or 'Mr. Knight'. In fact, most every one she spoke to was a 'sir', 'ma'am' or occasionally 'miss'.

"Ah, that's right." Lucas snapped his fingers. "I have a dinner date, I'll need you to remind me. Six o'clock, at the Palace." He said, referring to a high end restaurant he often went to for dates and meetings.

Robin scrambled for a pen and notecard. As always, she stuck the cap behind her ear and would surely forget about it later. "Six… o… clock…" she murmured as she wrote. "At… the… Palace." She scribbled dinner date underneath it as well. "Will that be tonight, or tomorrow…?"

"Tonight." Lucas wrinkled his nose, for a split second showing his displeasure. He was getting sick of the constant dates, a new girl every couple of days. He had a reputation to uphold though, however tiresome.

"Tonight," she repeated, writing the date at the top of the card. She looked up at him when she was finished and noticed the motion. "Is there something wrong, sir?" she asked worriedly, meeting his eyes.

"Nothing at all, love." He said, putting on his usual brilliant smile. "At least, unless you could manage to get me out of it." With that, he pushed off the desk, heading for his office.

"Would you like me to?" she asked as her walked away. When she realized just what she'd asked, her face turned light pink. Oh my God, Robin…

He paused, slowly turning to face her, an eyebrow raised. "I would, if you're willing. I can up your pay, since this isn't exactly included in your contract."

"Oh, you don't have to do that, sir," she said rather quickly, turning a deeper pink. Stupid, Robin, stupid stupid stupid…

"And you don't have to get me out of this." He reminded her, crossing his arms over his chest. "If you decide to, I'll make sure you get something out of it, too."

"You don't have to do anything for me, sir, it's not a problem…" Robin looked down at her lap, slightly embarrassed for even mentioning the idea of relieving the date from Mr. Knight's schedule.

"Well sure I do. Either that, or I owe you a favor." Lucas offered as an alternative, watching Robin. She'd been his assistant for years now, and still hadn't seemed to acclimate to the job quite all the way.

(Oh, I have an idea! So, the date gets cancelled, but the restaurant won't cancel Lucas's reservation. He takes Robin instead, and then we have some sexy fluff ;)

Robin looked up. "You really don't have to, sir…"

Lucas shot her a playful smirk. "What kind of guy would I be if I didn't?" Anything else he was going to say was cut off by his cellphone ringing. He slid it out of his pocket, frowning down at the caller ID as he answered. "Well hello there~"

Robin blinked and watched him curiously. Her mind was spinning, trying to process who he was talking to.

"That is absolutely horrible." Lucas said, tugging a hand through his hair. "Do call and let me know if she's alright. No, no, it really isn't a problem. We can always reschedule, if you'd like."

His date? Robin thought, putting the pieces together rather quickly and proving her powerful intellect.

Lucas hung up the phone after a few more minutes, immediately looking for the number to the Palace. "She had to cancel, her mother was in a car accident. Nothing major, luckily."

"Oh my," Robin said worriedly. "I hope she's alright. Would you like me to call and cancel your reservation?"
