"I
don't care if your world is endin' today, because I wasn't invited to
it anyway..." A rather dark voice began, each word leaving her
mouth with practiced ease. One couldn't say that the voice was bad,
as she pulled off that drawl quite well. "You said I tasted
famous so I drew you a heart, but I'm not an artist I'm a fucking
work of art." The familiar jingle of the bell sounded, telling
her that someone entered. The words that flowed from her mouth almost
mechanically stopped immediately, the headphones still plugged into
her ears but the volume turned down a good amount, just enough so she
could hear words that were spoken to her and the music all the
same.
"Hello there, welcome to KIA Inc., is there anything I
can do for you?" She questioned in a sickly sweet voice, a fake
smile forced onto her lips, once more one of the many over practiced
actions she'd perfected.
"I have a meeting with Miss
Kawasaki at 2:30, I'd appreciate if you told her I'm here." That
fake smile was sent straight back at her, causing the smile to drop
from the girl's face.
"I'm sorry, but, ma'am, you are fifteen
minutes late, Miss Kawasaki no longer wishes to speak with you
because of such. She told me to tell you that if you cannot bother to
show up to your first meeting with her, than you are not worth her
time. Have a good day, ma'am." The little name-tag that was
pinned above her right breast read Thirteen, which was obviously her
name, hence the name-tag. Now replacing that frown with a
semi-twisted grin, her lips curled up mockingly and an amused sparkle
in her eyes. With this she turned up the volume on her iPod Video,
now playing was 'Down With The Sickness' by Disturbed. Aww... she'd
missed the entire song of 'sAINT' by Marilyn Manson. What a
bummer... If only that damned lady hadn't barged in.
Her head
lightly rocked to the beat of the music, her lips murmuring the
lyrics in that every so dark voice that she had perfected. Nimbly did
she sort through documents, once in awhile typing new information
into the program on her computer.
You see, Thirteen is the
personal secretary of Miss Kawasaki herself, the CEO of KIA
Incorporated, which was actually a Designer Company. Their clothing
was expensive, and only the wealthy could afford their products, and
oh boy, that brought in a lot of sales. Even Thirteen herself owned a
wardrobe with consisted of nothing but KIA brand clothing. You're
wondering what KIA stands for, aren't you? Well, we'll just get to
that later, now won't we?
Thirteen minutes passes, oh, how
ironic. Her entire focus was on her job, and she had failed to notice
the presense that had been standing before her for the last three
minutes until the deep 'Ahem' sounded, shaking her from her world of
music and work. Quickly did she painfully rip the headphones from her
ears, as she snapped her head up, obviously scared out of her wits.
Her cheeks seemed to be on fire, the heat spreading over them
rapidly. Did I mention she was also embarassed?
"M-Mr.
Eloton! I wasn't expecting you for another..." Thirteen's purple
eyes shot down to the little digital clock that sat beside her
computer. 2:59:30, "Thirty seconds... I expect you're here for a
meeting with Miss Kawasaki, yes?" That sickly sweet tone
returned to her voice, that smile reappearing. The only reply she
recieved from the mysterious man was a nod, and he looked away
quickly, as if Thirteen wasn't even worth his time. Pft... Moron.
Pressing down on the small green button, she spoke loudly and
clearly, "Miss Kawasaki, Mr. Eloton has arrived on time for his
meeting. Do you wish to see him?" A pause left silence to hang
eerily in there air for a moment.
"Yes, let him in,
Thirteen."
With a single look up to Eloton, she flashed a
weak smile, and stood. "Follow me, Mr. Eloton." She
murmured quietly, bowing in respect, Miss Kawasaki would have her
head if she showed ANY form of disrespect to anyone that entered the
building. Most likely her job would be down the drain.
Shuffling
from behind her desk, Thirteen began walking towards the large double
doors about twenty-five feet from her desk, her walk quite confident
and her head held a bit higher than it should have been for a
secretary. Now will be a good time to explain what she was wearing. A
pair of tight black jeans, you know, the straight legged ones that
clung to every curve of your legs. A long-sleeved, striped black and
grey top fit her torso quite snugly, the collar dipping quite low,
but a grey tank-top somewhat helped that. She was still flaunting
cleavage. Her hair was pulled into pig-tails, curled light at the end
with a pair of darkly tinted sunglasses on her head. Once she reached
the large doors, she pushed the right side open for Mr. Eloton,
bowing once more.
"I wish you good luck, Mr. Eloton."
She told him, looking up to see him nod once more. Damn, he was such
a cold person to everyone, wasn't he? With a shake of her head she
silently closed the door then basically darted back to her desk. Her
music was still playing, and she was missing good songs!
Sitting
down and plugging the head phones back into her ears, she grumbled.
She'd missed at least four songs, and now playing was 'Bed of Roses'
by MSI. Oh well, she loved this song as well. Once more was she taken
away by the music, mindlessly filing the papers without much of a
thought. Her head bobbed slightly to the music, sending her
multi-coloured hair for a light ride, and she mouthed the words to
each song that played. But then she heard voices. It was Miss
Kawasaki and Mr. Kaiba! Miss Kawasaki must have been accidently
turning the intercom on.
"Are you... really... Thirteen...
could... valuable." It was Mr. Eloton.
"Yes...
positive... no use... lazy... you can have..." It was Miss
Kawasaki.
Then, it stopped.
.6:31:01.
Her shift was over,
finally, but she thought it would be better to inform Miss Kawasaki.
Mr. Eloton still hadn't come out, and her boss may be quite furious
if Thirteen wasn't there to show him out.
Knocking lightly at the
door and waiting for the command to enter, she began to zip up the
semi-tight black jacket, then flipped her sun glasses down over her
eyes.
"Come in." The strong, stern voice called back
after a moment, and so she stepped in.
"Miss Kawasaki, my
shift is over so I shall be heading home now. I bid you a good day,
you too, Mr. Eloton." With that, she bowed respectfully and
turned on her heel to leave, still furious about the bits of the
conversation she heard.
"Thirteen, wait a moment. There's
something I have to tell you."
'Oh shite...'
