Break Your Heart
They say love comes when you least expect it but there are always people who search for it. I tried searching but I realized that it was just a waste of time.
Anyways this is how my so-called love story started…
I just graduated from Stanford University a year ago, and here I am taking a day off from my busy schedule. I thought that after University it would get a bit easier but nope – it just got harder; and how am I suppose to find THE ONE – when I can't even have time for myself. I mean it took me 3 months in advance to book A DAY off! Can you believe that?! 3 months!
I looked at the view in my penthouse, it was breathtaking – I would've never thought I would be living in a place like this. I grew up in a small town, working everyday in my life; just to make sure I save up for school. My parents died when I was just 10 years old, after that I was raised by my cousin but I left when I turned 18.
"Ma'am Miss Anna is on the phone," Claire handed me the phone. I've known Claire since I was 20 years old; she was a struggling mom who was looking for a job to provide education for her children. I decided to help her – you're probably thinking how on earth can a 20 years old student employ someone?! Let's just say it all came from my savings.
"Thanks Claire," I gave her a smile as she exited my room.
"Anna! How are you doing," Anna and I have been friends for 6 years, I still remember how we met when we were 16 years old – yes that's right, I'm 22 years old. Anna has been in France to study to become a chef.
"Well I thought it would be a good idea to invite a special friend of mine to come to my graduation ceremony,"
"Oh my gosh Anna! Congratulation! It's been 3 years already," I exclaimed. Time went by fast!
"Thank you but I know how busy you are so of course it's still in 2 months," She knows me too well. But then again I have been venting to her about my busy schedule and how complicated it was to take a day off. Especially when you work in a very prestige company.
"I am very thankful for that or else I would be sulking here because I couldn't come to my best friend's graduation," we talked for hours and caught up on a lot of stuff. What did I do to deserve to have such a wonderful friend?
"It's going to be a LONG graduation but I got lots of people for you to meet," I could sense that she was planning something. Oh man, I wonder what this is going to be about – I hope she's not thinking what I'm thinking.
I can't believe I woke up late! I never miss my alarm clock – dammit – I hope I make it on time but I spoke too soon. I was surrounded with cars honking at each other, we were not moving at all. Ugh traffic!
"Hello Eric, I'm stuck in traffic. I don't know how long it'll take," Dammit I'm so screwed!
"Ma'am I was just about to call you, I will transfer the calls to you when you have some. Although I heard the big boss is coming to the office today and they want all the Seniors to be there," Great, I'm definitely screwed. I rubbed my temples, hoping that this stress will go away. Why did everything have to go down today? Ughhhh!
"Thank goodness you're here! They're all in the conference room, hurry I'm sure you'll make it," I dumped all my stuff on his table and ran to the conference room. I fixed my hair before I entered the conference room. As soon as I entered, all eyes turned on me. Good job Mikan, great first impression!
"Sorry I'm late, there was a huge accident in the highway," I sat at my usual spot.
"Good thing he's not here yet or you'll be dead Mikan," I sigh and slumped on my seat. At least one thing went well today. Before I could even relax the doors banged open, making us all jump on our seat. I was about to give this person a piece of my mind but as soon as I saw those crimson eyes, I lost my train of thoughts.
"Let's start with introductions," he placed a bunch of black folders on the table and sat on his chair. I looked at everyone who seemed to be afraid to go first – so why not start right? I stood up on my seat and slid my folder towards him.
"Mikan Sakura, graduated in Stanford University for Business –
"Aren't you a bit young to be working here? Are you sure you're qualified for your position," I clenched my fist.
"I guess you could say that I am young but I am qualified for this position, I understand why you are questioning me about my qualifications but if you look at my portfolio I will say I am more than qualified," I can't believe this guy! I must say he is pretty young himself; his parents probably just passed on this company to him.
"I know what you're thinking, you're right but unlike other I am well educated and have experience to be the head of this company," he looked through my portfolio and walked towards me. Don't tell me I'm going to get fired from this!
"You're an intelligent women but there are still a lot of things you need to learn in business," he handed my portfolio and walked back to his seat.
"Thank you, I know I have a lot to learn and I am ready for that," I sat down and looked him straight in the eye. He smirked and moved on to the next person.
