Some people say that things like that do not happen in real life... But this is the true story of my father. The woman that my father loved… was a dragon woman. My father was already the CEO of one of the biggest companies in Japan – Kaiba Corporation. But this story do not start with him being rich and famous, playing Duel Monsters and helping to save the world.. This story starts on an ordinary spring day at work, the day he met my mother.
Another interview ended with "We'll call you." which could also mean "We are looking for somebody else." Kisara surely wasn't lucky when it comes to job hunting. But she still had hope. When silver-haired girl found herself standing in front of the Kaiba Corporation building her smile didn't fade off. This was her last chance today, her last job interview and she promised that she will do her best.
As she waited in a corridor for her turn to be interviewed all the other ladies seemed to be more excited than her. An opportunity to talk to Seto Kaiba was treasured by them as if he were going to propose to them. Working for him was a dream of more than a half of those girls. He was said to be strict and demanding but he paid well enough. Kisara didn't know what to think. She wasn't too stressed or excited... Her wish was to make a good impression and not to hear "We'll call you" again. She wanted a well paid job, so she wouldn't have to worry about bills, food and other things.
Another young and pretty lady left Kaiba's office with a frown on her face. Now it was Kisara's turn. When she entered the room, her sight landed on Seto. Her potential new boss was sitting behind a massive brown desk in a black office chair. One look into his eyes and it was obvious. He was tired. Kaiba spent all afternoon interviewing ladies for position of his personal secretary. He needed new one really fast since the last one has just left. But after meeting bunch of girls, drooling all over him, he was almost done. Kaiba didn't need a fangirl who couldn't focus on work. He started to lose his hope to find a new employee that day.
"Good morning" Kisara greeted with a bright smile and a polite bent.
"Good morning. Please have a seat." He looked at her documents for a moment. Please don't be another fangirl… "Why do you want to work here?"
It was a very simple question. Every girl Seto talked with today answered this question like he expected – saying that this is her dream job to work for him.
"I heard you pay well and I need to earn for my living so..." Kisara answered, completely calm, straitening her back. She decided to be simply honest.
Kaiba offered a little smile. "So you want to be my personal secretary? Why?"
"Yes... Because you do not need special skills to this job. You just have to search things quickly and make a good coffee."
"Can you make a good coffee?"
"I think so. When I worked at the coffee shop, everyone liked it." She smiled but had no idea what to think about this interview.
The room grew silent for a moment when Kaiba looked through Kisara's curriculum to see what she's written about her working experience. She worked in a lot of places: Coffee Shops, Newsagent's, Bentou Delivery, Florist, Detergents factory... It looked like she was used to being under pressure of time and other people. She wasn't a fangirl of his – or she hides it pretty well, she was determined to work hard... and she has a very pleasant presence.
"Fill these in and you start tomorrow morning." He said, giving Kisara a pile of documents.
"Re-really?" She was shocked that he gave her this job so... easily. Maybe her luck has finally kicked in!
"Do I look like I'm joking to you?" Seto raised an eyebrow, seeing the sparkles of happiness in Kisara's blue eyes. He gave her a moment to calm down and ordered his security guard to tell all the other ladies that their interviews are cancelled. Few sheets of paper landed in Kisara's hands after a moment.
"Here is your scope of duties, dress code and so on..."
"Thank you so much sir, I won't disappoint you!"
"We'll see... You start at 7am. I do not tolerate being late. Good bye."
"Of course, sir. Good bye!" Kisara stood up and bent politely, a bright smile on her face. She collected all her things quickly and left Kaiba's office. It was her best day since... she couldn't remember. She's got such a good job... she was so happy she could cry.
When Seto Kaiba arrived at work the next day, she was there. Punctual and smiling, she was sitting behind her desk, tapping quietly on a laptop. Arriving few minutes earlier, she already prepared a cup of black coffee for her boss and placed it on his desk along with that day's correspondence. When Kisara noticed him, she stood up and bent politely greeting.
"Good morning sir."
"Morning... Any mail for me?"
"One registered letter and ten advertisements. I left the letter on your desk sir."
"And what about the documents I gave you yesterday?"
"Oh, the lady from PR took it from me before you came sir."
"Alright." And with that he entered his office.
He noticed coffee and the letter on his desk. A pleasant smell filled the room and made him think of a warm morning at home. As Kaiba started to work he tried to focus on his task but something was keeping him away from it. Her sweet smile. Her bright blue eyes. Her silver hair, neatly made into a bun. Seto couldn't help himself, something was drawing him to this girl but he had no idea what it was. The coffee she made was good. Strong and bitter just like Seto liked.
I think I'm doing good... Kisara's thought was interrupted by a buzz from an intercom. She got up and took a deep breath before going to Kaiba's office.
"Do you need something sir?" She noticed an empty cup on the desk.
"Prepare the docs Industrial Illusions sent yesterday."
She bent and rushed off to find said papers. It wasn't hard as she just had to print them.
"The documents?" Kisara almost dropped freshly printed documents when she heard her boss.
"Yes, I got them." She handed the sheets of paper to Seto, accidentally brushing his hand with fingertips. But any of them gave it much thought.
"Thanks. Let's go then."
"Where?" Did she forget about something? But she didn't get any information yesterday...
"A meeting. Not very important but I want you to be there. Take your laptop; you're going to take notes."
Kisara was nervous as she would embarrass herself or –which was worst- embarrass her boss. She didn't want to be fired on her first day! But the meeting went well. She stayed silent and tapped on her laptop like Kaiba wanted her to. The girl had to write super fast but she managed. She had no idea who was the businessman on the meeting, only that is was somebody from Industrial Illusions. After the meeting Kisara was really tired.
"Send me what you wrote down and you can go on your lunch break." These words were something she needed. Oh thank gods for the lunch breaks!
"Of course sir. Thank you."
Young CEO found himself in his office a minute later. He sat down in his chair and turned to the window, looking at the view. Kisara was a nice polite girl. Not drooling over him. It seemed like she just wanted to work honestly. With all that, Seto discovered that he started to like her. After two days! Ridiculous. But still, he thought about her and felt smile tugging at his lips. Something definitely was luring him towards this girl. Seto stretched and got up from his chair. It was time to grab some lunch, he was a human too. Leaving the office, he noticed Kisara sitting at her desk munching on her bentou.
"I believe I told you to go on your break?"
"I am.." She swallowed her food and looked at him questioningly. She wasn't sure what Kaiba expected her to do on her break. Should she go out? But as a very introverted person, she usually stayed away from the people and a quiet office was a perfect place to relax for a bit.
"Sure." Was she going to sit there alone for more than an hour?
Kisara bent her head slightly. "If I.. did something wrong then I'm sorry.."
"All of my secretaries preferred to go out for lunch. You don't have to sit here on a break. You know this, right?" Seto sighed, watching the girl apologise.
„I know" Kisara smiled. „But I like it here. It's so quiet."
"Right…" Kaiba had no idea why but he suddenly felt stupid for saying such things. Trying to look natural, Seto nodded and headed for the elevator.
