I carefully picked out my clothes for my interview at Uchiha Corp., wanting to look my best. I had been waiting for months for this day, and it was finally happening. I brushed my hair, pulling it's black, wavy mass into a messy ponytail. I adjusted my blouse and skirt, then put on a bit of lipstick.
I really want this job... It's all I can think about. I picked up my forms, then started walking to the Uchiha Corp Building. When I arrived, my heart skipped a beat as I saw the head of Uchiha Corp., Itachi Uchiha. He turned to me, a gentle smile on his face. "You must be the young lady that has the interview. You're early." I hadn't realized I was staring at his beautiful face until he chuckled. "Y-yes! I live a block away from this building." I felt my entire body become hot. "Follow me, then we'll start your interview." I nodded, following him to a small meeting room on the top floor. There was fresh coffee waiting for us, and a beautiful view of the city. We sat down, and I handed him my papers. He read through, a smile dancing across his angelic face. I again caught myself staring. He looked at me, breaking my trance. "Well... All I can say is welcome to the company." I felt my heart flutter and I slightly screamed. "Thank you, sir! I won't be a hassle for you." He laughed, and then stood and shook my hand. "You start now. Follow me." I nodded, following him through the workplace. We reached his office, and he pointed to the desk on the left side of the room. "That's your desk, you will answer calls and help me with paperwork." I nodded, sitting at my desk.
The work day was peaceful, not a lot of calls, and minimum paperwork. I tried my best to not stare at him too much, but I couldn't help myself. "Here's the file on our overseas profits and income." He took the file, our hands slightly touching. He was so focused on his work, it took me by surprise. No wonder he's CEO... But he still looks graceful as he works... I shook my head, walking back to my desk. The phone rang as I sat down.
" Mr. Uchiha's office... Yes, he's in... Hold on" I turned to face him from my desk. "Sir, this call is urgent." "Forward it to my phone." I nodded, forwarding the call to his phone.
"Itachi... Mhm... Ah, I see, yes, I'll gladly come." He hung up the phone. Whatever it was, it seemed important. He marked something on the calendar a few days from today. "Rain, I need you to run this down to the overseas department, my brother needs this file." I nodded, taking the file and heading to the 3rd floor. I walked to his brother's office, knocking on the door. "Here's that file you requested." Sasuke stood up, walking towards me, then taking the file. I watched his eyes as he sized me up. "Not bad... He chose well this time. But, you should wear something more... Sultry if you're going to get his attention." I blushed as he smirked. I recollected myself and headed back upstairs. The work day drew to a close, everyone leaving except myself and Itachi. He saw me out before getting in his car and driving away. I reached my apartment, falling onto my couch, kicking my heels off. I was happy that I got the job... But being in the same room with Itachi might be a issue. Something about him attracts me to him. I shook off the feeling, taking a well deserved hot bath. I felt the work day melt away, relaxing. As I got out of the tub, I received a text from Itachi. Wonder what it's about? Maybe just a reminder that I need to work on those files again tomorrow... I checked the text as I dried my hair.

Are you free for tonight? I want to treat you to dinner. Does 8 sound reasonable?
I was at a loss of words and up replied to him. I didn't own anything fancy, but I need to look my best. I found my black dress that I wore to important dinners and my black pumps. I put them on as I let my hair down. I grabbed my black purse and waited outside for him. He pulled up, and opened the passenger side door for me. I got in, closing the door. I felt his eyes looking at me. His face turned slightly pink as he pulled away from the curb. "You look beautiful, Rain. I didn't know you wore designer apparel." "Oh no, it's only a few things.. not too fancy." He chuckled, taking a small portion of my hair in his fingers, kissing it. I became hot, my face burning bright red. "You should wear your hair down at the office, you'd look even more beautiful that way." We reached an upscale restaurant, him getting out of the car, opening my door. He took my hand, helping me out of the car, kissing my hand, his lips lingering. He had reserved the best table they had to offer, with a beautiful view of the city lights. We sat down as the waiter brought us a menu. Itachi looked intently, occasionally glancing at me. "I would like your Lobster Thermidor, as would the lady." I was in shock. He knew what I wanted even before I did. He smiled as the waiter took our order, briskly walking towards the kitchen. Itachi's hand gently grabbed my own. "I'm glad you wanted to work for me. I've been through many secretaries, and you are by far the best." "Mr. Uchiha, I don't deserve such praise.." He chuckled, kissing my hand again with his soft lips. "No need to be so formal with me." I blushed, our eyes meeting again. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth as our food arrived.
We dined, just casually chatting, and occasionally laughing. "So you honestly haven't had a lover in your life?" Itachi inquired, looking shocked. "That's right, never been in love.." "I just can't believe that... Who ignores such a beautiful woman?" I sighed, gazing at my cocktail glass. "I just don't stand out. I don't mind it at all." He looked upset, then he gently grabbed my chin, turning my head to face him. "The best women are the ones that don't try to stand out, they are smart and know what they deserve and is willing to make slight changes in order to make their relationship perfect." His words resonated in my mind, warming my heart. He paid our table, walking me back to the car. He dropped me off infront of my apartment. I went upstairs and into my apartment, taking my heels off, then walking into my bedroom, falling onto the bed. I squirmed out of my dress, climbing under the warm blankets. I fell asleep, with him on my mind.
