General POV
" Hey Inuyasha. Whats up? " Miroku greeted his best friend entering Inuyasha's office. Even though Miroku worked under Inuyasha, they had been best friends from kindergarten and that gave him privilege to have a break whenever he wanted . "Hey Miroku. Don't tell me you are taking a break again. Just because we are buddies doesn't mean you can come into my office every ten minutes. Get back to work".
" It has been fifteen minutes since I last took a break. Sango called to inform that there's a party at her house tonight. Want to come ? It'll be lots of fun" Miroku said .
" Sure. I'll come. " Inuyasha said. " There will be a lot of hot girls in the party. Keep our eyes open, Inuyasha. Who knows you might find the right girl for you there? " Miroku smirked. " Ha ha . very funny, Miroku. I will not marry any friend of Sango. you know how scary Sango is when she is angry. i am sure her friends will also have her personality. "
" Ah! You don't stay young forever, Inuyasha. Do your mom a favor and Get yourself a girl. Your mom wants you to get married soon" Before Inuyasha could say anything, the door opened and the receptionist, Luna entered.
" Sir, your new secretary has arrived. Shall I send her in" Luna asked. " Yes. Luna." Inuyasha said firmly. Miroku left the office to continue with his work.
" Excuse me,sir . May I come in? " a young lady in her late twenties entered. Inuyasha turned to look at his secretary. She had brown eyes and long black hair. She looked sexy. "You must be Miss. Kagome Higurashi. Why are you late ? " Inuyasha asked annoyed.
" I am new to the city. It is hard to find my way through the city " Kagome said. " I don't care. I expect my employees to be on time. I will dismiss you if you are late again. " Inuyasha shouted. " Sorry. " Kagome tried to apologize and Inuyasha cut her. " Do this paperwork. After you finish that , check these files. Finish this work within three hours " Inuyasha said.
" What ! It will take me at least six hours to finish the work. " Kagome exclaimed. " Are you complaining Miss. Higurashi." asked Inuyasha. " Yes, Mr. Taisho. It is not humanly possible to finish this work within three hours."Kagome said .
" If you cant finish the job within three hours, I will dismiss you." Inuyasha said, " what you can't do that. Please. I need this job very badly." Kagome pleaded. " Then go to your cabin and start working. You are wasting time arguing with me. " Inuyasha said.
'I better get to work if I have to finish this work in three hours. There is no use talking to this JERK ' Kagome thought.
' This girl is weird. She is new to the city... She wants the job badly... huh .. why... If she wants it so badly than why she is arguing that she can't finish the work within three hours. Something is fishy. I have to find out why this girl needs the job.
After three hours..
" I finished the work you assigned . " Kagome said. She was glad that she could finish the job. " OK. I am going a nearby restaurant for lunch. Want to join me? " Inuyasha asked casually.
'First he threatens me that he will dismiss me if I don't finish the work. Now that I have finished the work, Not a word of appreciation. But he wants me join him for lunch. I cant understand this guy. But I am hungry. It's not like a date or anything. Why not go with him. ' "OK. Mr. Taisho." Kagome said ending her thought process.
Kagome and Inuyasha enter the restaurant and take a seat near the window. Silence hung in the air. Both didn't utter a word other than to place their order.
" So, you finished your work within three hours huh.." Inuyasha said. 'What a way to strike a conversation. Good going, Inuyasha.
"Yeah!" Kagome answered. 'What an awkward silence."
"Why do you need this job so badly?" Inuyasha asked curiously. Kagome looked outside the window thinking deeply. " I can't tell you Mr. Taisho . It's for personal reasons and I don't want to discuss my personal life with you."
" But I am your boss. And I need to know why you want to work in my company.." Inuyasha shouted forgetting that he was in a restaurant. " I need money." Kagome answered. " For personal reasons? " asked Inuyasha .
Kagome realized that he didn't believe her words. " Yes for personal reasons. You are my boss, Mr. Taisho. But that doesn't give you any rights to poke your nose into MY personal life. You don't need to know why I need the money." Kagome answered angrily.
" I need to know. What guarantee is there that if some other company offers you more money than my company, you will not tell the other company our secrets. Tell me. Or is it that your boyfriend is one of my rival companies's CEO. " Inuyasha screamed.
" What ? Have you lost it, Mr. Taisho? " Kagome asked . " No. I have not lost my mind . But tell me why do you want the job" Inuyasha shouted placing his hand on her shoulders.
" You want to know why I want this job. Then listen, Mr. Taisho. The reason I need this job is to pay fees..." Kagome blurted . " Fees? " Inuyasha asked. Kagome looked into Inuyasha's golden eyes seriously.
" Yes. school fees for my daughter." Kagome said. " Your daughter? Don't lie, Kagome . In your profile, you mentioned Miss. Higurashi" Inuyasha said.
" Yeah. I got pregnant when I was fifteen. My boyfriend left me when he found out that I was pregnant. My mom also kicked me out of the house. I moved to Tamaya town to look after my daughter. I moved back to Tokyo for my daughter's education. Are you happy now that you made fun of me in front of everyone in the restaurant? " Kagome said.
She got up from her seat to leave. She saw that everyone looked at her and started making their own comments about her. Tears started to well up in her eyes and threatened to spill.
'Daughter's education... What have I done .. I doubted her.. and embarrassed her in front of everyone.. I should apologize.. ' " Kagome . Please stop" Inuyasha put his hand on her wrist to stop her from leaving.
Kagome did the only thing which came to her mind. She slapped him. " I don't want to listen to you anymore, Mr. Taisho. I don't care whether you believe ne or not. I hate you. " Kagome shouted and ran away.
'I should apologize. She has already suffered a lot in life. ' Inuyasha called Miroku. " Hey Miroku, how do you apologize to a girl"

Note : Please review. I want to know what my readers think about the stories. Will Update soon. Please review.
I know that Kagome is complaining on her first day of work and all that. But I personally think she is right in voicing out her thoughts. Just because you work under someone doesn't mean you should listen to them all the time. There are sometimes when you know you definitely can't finish the job within the given time. I think it is better to say that you can't than work very hard and not finish it within the given time and get shouted at.
