Chapter 1: The Grumpy Mr. Fullbuster
Gray's POV
"What?" I asked, a little bit of annoyance was shown in my voice. "U-Umm..!! W-Well.. Uhh.. I want to quit my job, Mr. Fullbuster because my family decided to go to Florida." My personal assistant, Laki, said while fidgeting.
I sighed in depression and turned my chair away from her. "Just go. It's fine."
"T-Thank you for everything, Mr. Fullbuster." She said that and left my office. I looked at the amazing view behind me and started thinking. it looks like I'll need another assistant position.
"Mira!" I called out as I faced my table again. I saw the door opened and a white haired girl appeared. She appeared with a warm smile on her face and said "Good Morning, Mr. Fullbuster. What do you need me for?"
"Mira, I need you to find new applicants for my new personal assistant, A.S.A.P." I said blandly. She nodded and said "Okay, sir. I'll send posters today and you'll meet the applicants later or tomorrow."
"Good." I said, opening my laptop to check new structures to be built in this city. What does personal assistants do?
♦arranging travel, visas and accommodation and, occasionally, travelling with the manager to take notes or dictation at meetings or to provide general assistance during presentations; screening phone calls, inquiries and requests, and handling them when appropriate.
♦meeting and greeting visitors at all levels of seniority.
♦organizing and maintaining diaries and making appointments.
And sometimes, serving coffee to me when they have nothing to do. In short, P.A.
~•°Juvia's POV°•~
"Mom, are you feeling better today?" I asked as I entered my mom's room number at the hospital.
Mom was smiling and watching T.V, with an I.V attached to her and lying down on the bed. "Oh, hi Juvia. You're here again."
Juvia sat down beside her and kissed her cheeks. "Mom, of course. Juvia needs to check you everyday. Even though sometimes, I couldn't visit you on important days."
She held my cheeks and said "Juvia, how could you find yourself a husband or boyfriend if you keep on visiting me?"
Juvia's NBSB.
[A/N: NBSB stands for No Boyfriend Since Birth.]
"Oh, never mind that." Juvia laughed nervously. "I'll be joining your father's side..." Mom said and looked at the windows where she sees the sun.
Dad died a few years ago because of a car crash. Ever since then, mom's been getting illnesses and so, she's always in the hospital, rarely at home.
"Mom, don't say that." I said, getting a little angry. "You know that I don't want to hear anything that has connection to death... It frightens Juvia."
"Juvia, you're 23 years old now. Old enough to get a husband. Before I die, I want to see my grandchildren."
Juvia blushed a little and said "M-Mom..! Don't say things like that."
Mom giggled. "Okay, okay."
Juvia looked at mom and said "Mom, Juvia and her friends will be meeting today. Also, Juvia will find a job today too. To pay for the expenses we need to pay here."
Mom got a heart attack almost 2 times already... She's on the verge of dying but I believe that she'll be healed eventually if I keep on believing on it.
"Okay, Juvia." Mom said and smiled. "You can go now. I'll just watch T.V and sleep."
Juvia stood up and nodded. "Okay, mom. Juvia will go out now."
I went outside of the hospital and called for a taxi. Though, Juvia wonders if those girls are already at the meeting place. They're sometimes late.

"Hi!" Juvia greeted her blonde haired, scarlet haired and bluenette friends sitting on a table with smoothies on their hands.
They're early.
"Oh! Juvia, you're here already." Lucy, her blonde haired friend said. "We're talking about Juvia here. She wants to be early always." With that, Erza giggled. Erza is Juvia's scarlet haired friend. "I guess, Erza's right." Her bluenette friend, Levy, said.
"Moh! You guys!" Juvia pouted as she sat next to Lucy and ordered a blueberry smoothie. "So Juvia, did you find a job already?" Lucy asked curiously.
Juvia shook her head and said "N-No, Juvia didn't. Juvia will start looking after this."
"Hmm.. But that will be a bit hard." Erza said as she took a sip from her smoothie. "Well.. Do you guys know where to find a job?" Juvia asked.
"At my work..? We're pretty full this year." Lucy's working at an Engineer's company with her boyfriend, Natsu.
"I would surely take you in but Juvia, you don't know how to bake." Erza and her husband, Jellal had a famous bakery for cakes. They've been married for 4 months and they have no kids yet.
"Actually, me too." Levy's working at a Publisher's company for books. Too bad her boyfriend, Gajeel, works at the Police Station.
Juvia sighed and said "Its fine but Juvia feels like she's being left out."
We saw a waitress coming by to us and puts Juvia's blueberry smoothie in front of her then left. I grabbed my smoothie and took a sip. "I will do my best to get a job today."
"You should." Levy nodded and took a sip from her smoothie. "But also, find a boyfriend."
Juvia puts her smoothie down and said "I... I-It depends..!"
"Well Juvia, you can't be NBSB forever, you know?" Lucy said while sipping. "Juvia wants a boyfriend but.. *sighs* its hard to find one right now."
"Speaking of which, Erza, when are you going to have a child?" Lucy asked Erza curiously. Erza's face turned red and said "I-I don't know..! That depends on Jellal..."
Lucy giggled. Levy speaks up and said "Hey, hey. Let's imagine their kid."
" ////// L-Levy..!"
Juvia starts to imagine it. Blue long haired girl, Erza's face-like and skin-like. "She looks cute." Juvia commented.
They looked at Juvia and asked "You actually imagined it?"
Juvia nodded and said "And she was cute."
Erza turned red again and said "J-Juvia...!"
Everyone giggled at the red-face Erza. The four of us knew each other since elementary. We've been classmates for years, went to the same high school and even on College. Until now, we almost have our separate lives.
"Never Ever~!"
"Oh, its mine." Lucy said while getting her phone from her pocket and answers it. "Hello? Oh, hello manager. Hmm... I'm with my friends now, why? ... Hmm.. Right now? Do I really need to? F-Fine." With that, she stood up. "I gotta go. Work business."
"Oh, good luck~!" Levy said and smiled at Lucy.
"Good Luck!" Erza said bluntly.
"Good Luck." I said.
She nodded and started running away. "Lucy's pretty busy this day, huh?" Levy said, while looking at her running. "I gotta agree with that." Erza said and nodded.
"Wait, Juvia. Did you visit your mom today?" Levy asked curiously. Juvia nodded and said "Yup, she looks pretty well today."
"Its good. I totally remember that time when auntie got a heart attack last time." Oh yeah.. Erza's there when mom got heart attacked last time. "It was pretty scary."
"Hey Erza..!" Levy called attention to Erza. Erza covered her mouth and said "I-I'm sorry Juvia. I know you don't want to remember that.. Sorry."
I waved my hands, signalling it's ooky to talk about it. "I-Its okay, its okay."
"Let's change the topic. Juvia, what kind of companies will you apply?" Levy asked, changing the topic. "Any company will do, I guess?" Juvia answered honestly.
They both gasped. Juvia raised her eyebrows at them and asked "W-What?"
"Juvia you should be careful in choosing your work, okay?" Levy said,a little caring on her voice. "Yeah, Juvia! You should choose a company that suits you..! And strawberry cakes!" Erza said, crying fake anime tears. Levy sweat dropped and asked "What..? That doesn't even connect in what I just said."
Juvia smiled warmly at them and nodded. "Juvia will choose a company that will be well and suitable for Juvia. Juvia will get a job, today. No matter what!"
"Juvia, don't get your hopes up yet. You're not very sure of that." Levy said. "But I'm not saying that I don't have confidence in you, getting a job."
"I know that but I'll do my best." I said, confidence is shown in my voice.

"Even though Juvia said that.. Juvia doesn't know where to start." I got depressed by myself while sitting on a bench outside with a dog barking at her.
"Juvia wants to find a job and fast." Juvia whispered to herself. She wants all of the expenses from the hospital to be paid already. I sighed in depression as I open my flip top phone and waits for a call.
~Never Ever!
Wow, that was fast...
Juvia answered it and greeted. "Hello? Juvia Lockser speaking."
"J-Juvia! Its been so long." A familiar voice said. Juvia held her phone and asked "who is it?"
"This is Laki," She answered.
Juvia smiles and said "Laki! Its been a while! I heard you're going away to Florida, right? With your family?"
"Hahahaha! Yup, you're so updated." Juvia giggled at her comment. "Juvia, what are you doing?"
Juvia lets out a deep sigh and said "Juvia's been out looking for a job but she can't find one."
"J-Job? Woah, its a good thing I called you. I just got retired from my previous job." She answered back. "Their pay is good but the boss seems.. Always strict and grumpy but I survived."
"R-Really?! Where is it?? What's he position?!' Juvia asked while exclaiming. "Its the Fullbuster Inc. They might be looking for a P.A now."
P.A..?
~•°Fullbuster Inc.°•~
"Woah..." Juvia was stunned. The building is so high and big, enough for 1000-5000 people. "So this company takes care of the buildings, huh? So that's why."
Juvia went inside and saw many people chatting. It's a good thing Juvia brought her resume, birth certificate and other things.
"Excuse me. I want to apply for the position of P.A" I said when I arrived at the counter.
"P.A? Oh, Personal Assistant for Mr. Fullbuster." She answered while clicking on the computer. "Go straight to the hallway and just look for Mirajane Strauss. There's 15 people with her, applying the same job as yours."
1-15?
Juvia nodded nervously. Oh no.. There's a chance Juvia won't get in. Juvia gulped ad she goes straight to the hallway, looking for a woman called 'Mirajane'. Wait, who is she? Juvia has no idea who is she.
Look for Mirajane..
Look for Mirajane...
Look for Mirajane..
Juvia saw a flawless, cute and white-haired girl walking. She runs towards her and said "M-Miss...! Wait...!"
She stopped and looked at Juvia. "Umm.. may I help you with something?"
Juvia breaths in and out and said "D-Do you know where's Ms. Mirajane Strauss? I was told to look for her."
She smiles warmly and said "Oh, you're going to apply for the Personal Assistant position?"
I nodded at her. I didn't expect that.
She giggled and said "Hi, my name is Mirajane. There are 15 applicants applying now. Mr. Full buster's on the 9th one now, please wait for a while on our super comfy sofa. You're number 16, by the way, miss?"
"J-Juvia Lockser." Juvia answered. "Okay, please wait inside there." She pointed at 4 big white Sofa's with ladies sitting on it. J sat in one of the sofas and noticed that the girls in here are all putting make-up on. I already put light make up on.
One of them has a clowny make-up, one has big and reddish lipstick, one has pinkish blush (super pink and red). What's wrong with them?
~•Gray's POV•~
(-_-*)
"Sir~ My name is Melissa, nice to meet you~❤" This 9th applicant is a slut. She blowed kisses on me.
I cleared my throat and checked her resume. "You have a very good standard and you're divorced."
"Yes~! So, I'm available." She winked at me. Flirt.
I dropped her resume on my table and said "Okay.. You may go."
She stood up and walks put sexily. She's not even sexy. With those fat thighs.
I can't find a good applicant. ALL of them are flirting with me. I don't want to work with them if they just wanna flirt. I put rejected stamp on her resume and puts it on the Rejected people folder.
10th applicant:
Oh great. This girl appeared on my office with her cleavage shows. "Hi!"
"Get out." I said blandly, looking away.
11th applicant:
"Hi sir~!" Now this is gay. I don't need gays to be my P. A
12th applicant:
"Sir, I'm always available" and she winked. I face palmed on my table...
13th applicant:
She's mute.
14th applicant:
SHE'S ON HER BIRTHDAY SUIT?!
15th applicant:
Don't get me started with this.
After the 15th went out, I sighed in depression. None of the applicants were qualified to be my new P. A. I thought to myself.
I stood up from my table and preparing to leave then Mira entered my office. "Leaving already, sir?"
"Yeah." I said in agreement. She continues "Don't leave yet, sir. You have 1 more applicant to check."
"Mira, all of the applicants are flirting with me. One of them even came on their birthday suit..!" I exclaimed in annoyance.
She made me sit down and said "Don't worry. This girl is not flirty or slutty. She looks decent. Trust me."
I sighed then nodded. "Bring the 16th applicant in."
"Juvia, you can come in now."
~•°Juvia's POV°•~
"Juvia, you can come in now." Mira-sensei said while opening the door to the office.
I stared at her with widened eyes. I'm being called. Juvia's being called. I gulped and tried to calm myself down. This is my chance to have a job so I should do it right.
I stood up from my seat and nodded.
I started walking towards the office. Once I'm in, Mira leaves the office and closes the door. Juvia's a bit nervous.
Juvia looked straight at the guy in front of me—
H-He's a prince~! (。♥‿♥。)
"What's your name, miss?" He asked. The prince asked!!
"Y-Your next girlfriend.."
He raised his eyebrow at Juvia and asked "What?"
