Chapter 1: Reintroducing

510 years, 5 months, 15 days later….

She was nervous for some unknown reason. Sure she was about to sign the biggest contract in her career but it shouldn't cause this much hysteria from her mind. Simone sighed and pulled off her shades with power. She stood outside the intimidating glass building that towered over Japan like the trump tower in New York City. It stood up high and dauntingly with its architectural ingenuity and cold exterior. A colored glass mosaic fountain sprang water over a wall designed into the company's crest which she was told represented the richest family in Japan. Her neck itched suddenly from her stare at the cold She reached up and scratched her neck noticing how itchy it felt as of late since she arrived in Tokyo.

She looked around at all the foreign faces as some passed her without a second glance and while others looked at her in curiosity. It was hot that day indicating the start to the summer season in Tokyo. She looked down at her black skirt and nice ruffled white blouse with her black pumps that made her feel amazing. On one shoulder was her purse and in the other hand held her briefcase. Her face held light makeup since it was too hot to put on anything else. She had light eyeliner and simply glossed her lips giving herself a natural look.

What would a foreign company all the way in Japan want with an event planner from the USA? She wondered. Surely her work was famous in the U.S and Europe but she didn't know she was that renowned in other areas of the world. She had done weddings, product launching, and every different event you can think of for high profile clientele but this was her first contract client in Asia. "Well I'm the best so who else are they going to call?" She prep talked before smiling and placing her Ray Ban blue aviators back on. She flicked her unnaturally straight hair behind her and squared her shoulders back as she sauntered up the marble stairs towards the glass sliding doors.

She walked into the lobby and noticed how extravagant it looked. The furnishings were very well laid out with sofas along the walls and a customer service desk that stretched the length of the wall interior. Glass intermingled with the marble separating areas and incorporated in the dark cherry wood accent fixtures. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling and lit up the purity of the marble white walls and columns. It looked more like a five star hotel lobby than an office building. The only thing throwing it off was all the high tech technology from the computer monitors, to the TV screens displaying stock market values and news hanging upon the walls. Everyone had on a Tashio Corp badge that they used to swipe into the elevator allowing them entry while others waited in the large lobby waiting for appointments and escorts to certain floors.

She saw all the many people, women, men, demons and humans scurrying about and into the parallel elevators. The place seemed very busy she thought before she walked over to the main desk where a woman sat typing and talking away. Before she got there, the woman spoke in Japanese without looking up. Simone frowned wondering if it wasn't too late to take a crash course of Japanese phrases in 5 minutes.

Simone frowned before pulling off her shades and tapping on the desk to get the young woman's attention. "Yes, ummmmm ko-knee-chee-wa…"She said lightly before the woman looked up with apparent disdain. Her black hair was pulled up high on her head and her black suit hid every inch of skin possible. She looked absolutely deadly. She had green eyes and clawed fingers that continued to beat the poor keyboard she was assigned to. Must be a demoness.

"Appointment?" She asked again this time in English.

"Ah yes –I have a 10 o clock appo-"

"Ms. Valentine!"

Simone turned around to see who called her last name when she saw a young woman walk towards her in an orange suit with a short bob and a wide smile. Simone smiled and bowed politely before sticking her hand out for the woman to shake. "Hi! I know I'm early. I just wanted to-"

"Oh you're fine! And the boss loves promptness!" She said too happily. Simone watched the bubbly woman grab her hand and pull her along to the opposite side of the public elevators. "I'm Rin Takagawa by the way!"

"Ok! So you're Ms. Rin who contacted me." She said as the continued to walk down this white hallway towards a pair of cherry wood polished double doors.

"Yes that's me! Pardon my giddiness this morning. I've heard so much amazing things about you Ms. Valentine." She said she came to the doors with an ID scanner. She slid her id through and on the side a box popped open. She slid open the case revealing an electronic number pad. She punched in a code and slid it shut as two doors opened revealing an elevator.

"It's fine. I'm actually very happy that I met someone that speaks English." She said relieved that this wasn't going to be some stuck up meeting that she couldn't understand.

Rin turned as they got on and she pressed 50 on the dial. "Yeah, I hope your arrival was smooth. Mr. Taishio spared no expense with your arrival." Rin stated with a smile.

Simone nodded remembering her journey to get here. The Tashio Corp company took care of literally everything. She flew first class on a non-commercial flight from Florida straight to Tokyo, Japan. Everything she could ever want was on the flight. When she arrived at the airport there was security there who met her miraculously knowing who she was and having never seen her before. They took care of her luggage and a limo came to pick her up dropping her off at a luxury hotel in a five star suite room. She had woken up to have breakfast in bed and a car service ready to take her directly to the facility. Overall she was treated like she was royalty or something close to it.

Simone nodded and smiled brightly. "I have to say, I've never experienced anything like it in one setting before. And I've done an event for the Queen of England and that really says something."

Rin beamed brightly as the elevator continued to move upward. "Well he did say, he would have no other."

Simone smiled feeling really great about herself. It seemed all her hard work, sleepless nights, sucky internships that worked the nails off her fingers had paid off. Her business had grown exponentially since she was called to work with two other famous planners at the royal wedding in Britain. Thanks to her lucky stars her previous world renowned boss called her and demanded her designing skills. If she didn't think she had made it before, she had made it now.

"So do you know anything about this huge gala event I'm supposed to be putting together?" She asked out of curiosity.

Rin nodded enthusiastically. "Oh yes! Every year our company throws an end of the fiscal year celebration for our business. This year is very special however because our company is celebrating 200 years of success well 500 if you count the age of our CEO and his reign. Every important business executive in Japan will attend this event along with their special guests from celebrities, designers, spouses, and mistresses."

Simone and Rin shared a laugh at the last bit. "Anyway, it's really important that we do an amazing bash that really makes us stand out as an event to be remembered for the next 500 years!" Rin waved in a flourish. "We even are allowing press coverage, it's that important. We never allow press and even then we are only allowing 10 press representatives inside."

Simone sucked in some air before releasing it feeling a little bit of pressure. Rin saw this and smiled. "Don't worry, you can do it. You've done so much great stuff already." The doors opened up and they stepped through. "Besides, you're so amazing, he really couldn't have any other but you to do the job. He personally put in this request for your services only."

Simone smiled and followed the young woman down the hallway away from glass offices and doors. Her heels clicked against the marble floors and her eyes danced at the opulence of the company's interiors. She passed a pair talking outside a large office and they stopped conversation openly gaping at her. It was an odd sight. A man with long fluffy silver like hair and golden eyes stared shockingly at her before being hit by a raven haired woman in white medical scrubs of all things.

Simone politely said her pleasantries before moving forward pass the two gaping and whispering. She held her head up high and walked forward ignoring some of the looks and focusing on her meeting with the boss of the immaculate company. She had done her research and saw what he looked like online. She was impressed. He was indeed very handsome and held a pedigree that would shock England if they weren't already. The demon looked on paper like a person that was untouchable, yet, he called out to her. Rin came to two brown doors and opened them letting her inside. It was a giant size waiting room with beverages and polished dark cherry wood furnishings. On the walls were paintings of giant dogs and people in what looked to be historic Japanese battle armor.

"I'll let him know you're here and you can make yourself cozy on the couch." Rin stated before walking ahead towards the double doors and exiting. Simone took in a nice big fresh breath of air before opening her briefcase and making sure all her materials were inside. She had a portfolio of her work, her contract, her iPad, paper, and pens. She was ready for this!

"Ms. Valentine?"

"Yes?" She asked as her heart began to beat fast in her chest for unknown reasons. Her palms quivered and her neck itched like crazy much to her chagrin. Her nerves were on edge as if something important other than a meeting with a potential client was about to happen. Never had she felt this way with any client or business venture ever. She imagined this is what it felt like before committing to buying a house. She was usually very confident and poise but today was something different.

Rin smiled and nodded. "Mr. Tashio will see you now."

Due to popular demand, I am writing this sequel. So this is the sequel to Assassins Creed

However, it can stand alone if you don't feel like reading the 1st one. I made sure to write in a way where anyone can easily just read this without reading the first one
