Ring,ring,ring… Oh god not already, I think as I reach over to shut the damn alarm off. With my eyes barely opened I see the sun just starting to shine through the open blinds of my bedroom.
It's 5:30 in the morning on the first day of my hopefully new career.
I pull myself out from under my warm cozy sheets and take a hand through my long blue black hair. I drag myself to the shower and climb in hoping to get awake.
Come on Hinata you have been waiting for this interview for three weeks. I should feel very proud a how far I have come all on my own. I have just graduated law school at the the very young age of twenty-one years old. Everyone has always referred to me as a genius and maybe I am to extent, considering that I have been able to skip three grades in high school, which was great but also hard being the youngest in that grade made it very hard to have friends, so I have pretty much always been a loner except for my one very good friend, Kiba who I have known since kindergarten. He has always been a great friend, especially after I lost both my parents in a horrible accident when I was only eight years old. After the accident I was placed in an orphanage until I was fourteen years old when I was able to become emancipated due to having graduated and receiving a full scholarship to Harvard. I Graduated with honors a month ago and applied for the first position I found which so happens to be Namikaze corporation. They are looking for an attorney on retainer. I am thrilled because this is the type of position that I was looking for. If I get this it will be my dream job. So when I found out about this position I came straight to New York City where currently I am staying at a cheap hotel with the little money I have saved from working while going to college. So if I do not get this job I may have to wait tables just to be able to eat.
After showering and putting on my only good formal wear I have which consists of an off white dress that comes down a couple inches above my knees, and accentuates my curves a little more then I would like but it will have to due. The other thing I do not like is the little black strip that comes around right under my breasts making them stand out more than they already do. I put on my black heels that give me a little more height to my 5 ft frame. With my hair down and wavy I leave my hotel room headed to the subway.
On the other side of the city A very attractive man with short blond hair,blue eyes, and standing at an imposing height of 6ft 3in dressed in a three piece armani gray suit with a black shirt showing his impressive abs. As he was leaving his penthouse waiting for his car to be brought down to him he was in the middle of a conversation on his cell phone with his best friend, Sasuke.
"I am really happy for you teme, but I am not interested in sakura anymore, actually I haven't been for a long time. She just wants my attention because you are with Ino and I am not into playing her games anymore, For god's sake I am thirty-six years old and I just want to find someone who will love me for who I am and that's not her."
"I understand dobe, I just don't believe you're going to give up on her when she seems to be interested in you."
" Honestly Sasuke I haven't had feelings for her for long time now, I only see her as friend nothing more. So on that note I am going to let you go I have interviews all morning to hire a new attorney since Shika moved to Suna with Temari. We'll talk later Teme."
"Ok later dobe." After Naruto cut the call with Sasuke he jumped into his black and orange Bugatti trying to get his head on straight to be able to hire the person who was going to take over for Shikamaru which is going to be a difficult position to fill. God he just needed a break after all the bullshit over the last couple of months. After Sasuke finally committed to Ino, Sakura I guess assumed that I was good enough to go out with which I quickly denied. Yes it is true that I thought I was in love with her years ago and worshiped the ground she walked on, but all she ever saw was Sasuke. Over the years I realized that it was just a simple infatuation and something to challenge Sasuke over. After taking over my father's company eleven years ago, so my father and mother could spent more time together, I've have done nothing but work my butt off to keep our corporation in good standing. My company owns several Hotels chains around the country and in the last five years has also started to buy and sell other companies that cannot stay open financially. It was really tough at first and he was constantly traveling and working almost twenty-four seven. and I was quite wild and still am to a certain degree. I have a few lovers on speed dial that I like to relieve stress with and nothing else, but I am at a point in my life that I would like to settle down. The problem is I have not found anyone that I feel anything for. Sakura believes that I should be with her no matter how many times I tell her I am not interested she thinks that I am still in love with her and claims she's going to prove it. I just really want to be left alone.
I pull into the parking garage of my building giving the keys to the valet and continuing on into the building, and I can already tell that this is going to be a long day.
Hinata finally made her way to her destination after taking the subway and being squashed between two older men the whole way. After reaching her stop and walking two miles in heels she was ready for a rest. Thank god she has an hour left before her interview so she decided to go to a nearby cafe and grab some coffee.
Naruto was not having a very good morning. None of his interviews panned out, either they did not know enough about business law or the two women he interviewed which were both in their mid forties were more interested in flirting than discussing their qualifications. He has one more interview at 11:30 and if this one does not workout he is going to pull his hair out. He has no information on the person except that she is a woman, her name is Hinata Huyga, and she just graduated from Harvard. He just hoped she was not one of those stuck up arrogant people that usually come from a school like that, although he should not judge considering he could have went to a prestigious school such as that but chose to go to NYU to be close to his friends and family.
Hinata got in the elevator and went up to the fifteenth floor where she was going to meet the gentleman conducting the interview, She walked up to the receptionist who was a very pretty young woman with long red hair and glasses.
" May I help you?" The woman ask with a smile." Yes my name is Hinata Huyga and I am here for an interview." The woman looked at her with wide eyes, which by now was not an unusual reaction for her, most people had the same reaction due to how young she is.
" Um...you do know that the interviews are to fill the position of the company attorney?"
Hinata mentally rolling her eyes replied in a serious tone" yes I know that is the position I am looking to fill."
"Oh ok,I am sorry it's just that you look really young...but I am sure you get that a lot. If you would like to take a seat I will inform Mr. Namikaze that you are here."
"Thank you."
Karin, Naruto's Secretary Went to let him know that his next interview was prayed that this would be the person he was looking for. He told Karin to send her in and when the door opened, Naruto could not believe his eyes. He had to blink a few times because the woman he was seeing although looking very young was the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on. The young woman was very short but had very voluptuous curves big full breasts from what he could see,very pale skin, long wavy black hair a blue glimmer, full lips, small nose, high cheekbones, and beautiful light lilac eyes that he could get lost in.
Realizing that he was openly staring at her when Karin cleared her throat, he came back to his senses and prayed that he could get through this interview with his head on straight ( both heads)
"Thank you Karin you may leave. Hinata meanwhile was not doing any better. She has never seen a more beautiful man in her life. Even though she has never had a boyfriend,that does not mean she was oblivious. He was very tall, with wide shoulders, could see the outline of his abs, He had silky blonde hair, and very sexy blue eyes. How was she supposed to work for a man like that, let alone talk to him. " please have a seat, I'm Mr. Namikaze." Hinata hearing his deep voice bringing her out of her thoughts and back to reality did as he asked.
"Thank you, it is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Namikaze." Naruto thought that he could listen to her talk all day with her sweet soft voice, very different from what he was accustomed to when talking with other women.
" I do not mean to be rude but you look very young to be an attorney." Hinata sighed already knew that was coming but could not bring herself to be annoyed with this god in front of her.
" It's ok I am used to that reaction from people, I was actually expecting it. I have my resume with me if you would like to go over my qualifications, I assure everything is in order and I apologize for not sending it to you in advance but I wanted to make sure you personally received it." Hinata reached into her hand bag and handed him the resume in the process brushing up against his fingers and feeling her body shudder, what the hell is wrong with her? Naruto was also thinking the same thing feeling like he just got shocked. He opened up her file and began to read and was amazed at what he was reading. She started college at fourteen and graduated with honors on a full scholarship at twenty-one. On top of going to college she worked part time at a local orphanage and was also a waitress. This girl must be an absolute genius and he also tell that she has good work ethic.
"Well I cannot deny that I am very impressed by what I just read Ms. Huyga,you seem to have the qualifications I am looking for but I must warn you that there will be a lot of long hours and you have to be available at all times how do you feel about that?"
He was quite anxious to hear her answer because most people in relationships do not do well in a work environment like that. The thought of her being in a relationship for some reason did not sit well with him.
Hinata was already expecting that and she had no problem with it at all. " I am perfectly fine with those requirements, I just moved here from college and I do not know anyone so there will be no reason why this would be an issue."
He was happy to hear that and thought that she would fill Shika's position very well. He could tell that she is very smart and professional.
"Can I ask how it is that you started college so young?" She licked her dry lips and Naruto felt sweat on his forehead, it was becoming a little hot in that room...or maybe it was just him but chose to push that thought away for now.
" Well I skipped three grades in high school and graduated when I was fourteen. I do not consider myself a genius I just really like learning, it was my only real constant in my life so I poured everything into learning everything I could and in the process surpassed my classmates level of intelligence."
Naruto was dumbfounded by what she just told him. At fourteen he was just a hormonal boy who did not care about his studies at all. He wondered what she meant by when she said it was her only constant in life, but decided not to probe too much. He knew there would be time for that because he was definitely going to hire her, he would be stupid not to.
"Well Ms. Huyga I feel that you are the one I am looking for to fill this position,how soon can you start?" Hinata was shocked she actually got the job that soon, with no waiting period. Realizing that she had yet to answer him she cleared her throat and smiled' Um...I can start tomorrow if that is okay with you Mr. Namikaze."
God she made him feel so old calling him that and it didn't help that he was fifteen years older than her, jeez he felt like a pervert for ogling someone so young but who could blame him, any hot blooded male would feel the same way.
"Great That sounds perfect, um I did notice that you do not have a current address on your resume may ask why?"Damn! She was hoping he would not notice that but who was she kidding. Now she had to tell her handsome boss that she was flat broke...although there is nothing she should feel ashamed about she worked hard to get where she was so looking straight at him she replied " Well I just got here three weeks ago and I do not have a lot of funds so at the moment I am staying in a cheap hotel on the other side of the city."
Naruto for some reason did not like her being in a place like that. Why did she not have any money surely her parents could help her out considering that they didn't even have to pay for her schooling, they must be really proud of her. But he will save that conversation for another time he did not want to overwhelm her and she looked embarrassed, so he decided to change the topic.
"That's fine when you get settled you will just need to update the information. Now we have not discussed your salary. You will be paid every four months in the amount of 25,000. I hope that sounds reasonable to you."
Hinata had to hold the chair so she did not fall over. She never dreamt she would make that much just starting out but she was definitely not going to complain." That is more than generous Mr. Namikaze, Thank you very much."
He was glad he could make her smile and what a beautiful smile she had. " Very good Ms. Huyga I will see you tomorrow morning at 7:00, allow me to walk you out."
He rose up out of his seat just as she did and when she turned to go to the door as hard as he tried he could not keep his eyes from dropping down to look at her behind and decided that was a really bad idea because her ass was perfect just like the rest of her, he was beginning to wonder if she was even real but came out of his thoughts after almost running into the wall...Damn he needs to pull it together he has never drooled over girl before. Not even Sakura. So what the hell was his problem... maybe he just needed some sleep, yeah that must be it.
When Hinata turned around she almost ran right into her boss's hard chest and continued to lift her head until their eyes met, god his eyes were so blue, like sapphires. " well it was a pleasure to meet you and thank for giving me this opportunity." "The pleasure is mine Ms. Huyga, Have a good evening." For some reason she felt her cheeks getting hot from the sound of his sensual voice. " y-...you also." and with that she stepped onto the elevator before embarrassing herself anymore. When the hell has she ever stuttered?!
Naruto turned and went back to his office with a smirk on his lips. Hinata Huyga is definitely an interesting young woman and could not help but feel smug from the blush he caused on her beautiful face. he sit down in his chair he heard his cell going off and grabbed it out of his pocket to see a text message from Sakura wanting to meet for drinks. He was really not in the mood to deal with her so he declined claiming he had to work. Just then there was a knock at his door.
"Enter" Karin came in with a smug look on her face and he did not like that expression, knowing that his cousin noticed his behavior. " So it seems the young woman was a hit with my boss."
Great, how long was she going to harass me he decided to just ignore her sarcasm and get straight to the point. " Yes she is very intelligent and professional and will fill the position that I have open,so if there is nothing else Karin I have meeting to attend." not even giving her a chance to answer he left for his meeting with his financial adviser to see how his latest investment is doing.
Hinata decided before going to her hotel she should try to find a thrift store to find a couple of outfits for work so she wasn't stuck wearing the same dress everyday,not wanting to know what people would think, especially Mr. Namikaze for some unknown reason she did not want him to think badly of her. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts she came to a gently used clothing store and decided to go in and see what she could buy on her low budget,which probably wasn't much considering that this was NYC.
Naruto did not return to his office that day because his meeting ran longer than it was supposed to with having to deal with the budget that was a big pain in the ass. Upon returning to his penthouse he took a quick shower and now he was laying on his bed staring at the couldn't help but wonder what tomorrow would be like, then his thoughts turned to Hinata and he couldn't stop himself from picturing her perfect curves and tight ass and big breasts. He has never seen a woman built so good with such a small stature. He was usually into women with long legs and thin build but he could not deny the attraction he had towards her. He actually liked how small she was next to him,he also wondered if her hair was as silky as it looked. With those thoughts in mind he fell asleep anxious about tomorrow.
Hinata finally made it back to her room took a quick shower and laid down trying to calm her nerves. She was not so worried about what her job entailed she was confident in her abilities. She was more nervous about working so close with Mr. Namikaze. She wasn't sure why, of course he was very handsome and older than her, she was sure a man like him was married with children...but she felt things around him she never felt around anyone else...not even kiba,although she sees Kiba more of a brother than as a man. She never took time to try to have a relationship in high school no one ever approach her because they assumed she was just a nerdy girl who was always quiet or they didn't know how to relate to someone so young. There were a few boys who approached her in college,but she had no time for that sort of thing,since she had to keep up with her studies so she wouldn't lose her she thought maybe she could start dating after getting settled. On that note she fell asleep excited to start her new career and her new life.
