Mikan woke up in her newly bought apartment, her grandpa brought her and Hotaru yesterday, it was already night time when they arrived the city so she slept as soon as they reached the apartment.
Mikan looked around her room, it sure was beautiful, then, she looked out of the window, it had a great view, tall buildings and everything.
"Today's my first day at my job! Better hurry up!"
She did her daily morning routines and went downstairs, there, she was surprised to see Hotaru watching TV, "Hey Hotaru-chan! Don't you wanna eat?"
Hotaru raised an eyebrow, "I'm done eating, I woke up 45 minutes ago.. oh! Not 45… 46 already… "
Mikan gave her a "WHAT?" look and proceeded to the dinning hall, she grabbed a bowl and poured some milk, then, she grabbed her cereal and put some on her bowl, then, she ate. Thankfully, she was satisfied.
After Eating…..
Hotaru was waiting for her near the door, she was tapping her feet against the floor and was twirling her hair round and round.
Oh yeah! I didn't mention this a while ago! Hotaru is now girly, but of course, she's still not that emotional but she's already wearing girly stuffs and now, she has a long hair.
Mikan grabbed her hat and followed Hotaru out of the house, "My.. what busy streets!"
Hotaru just nodded in agreement. Then, she went into their garage and turned on their car. Their car was a porche. (invented by Hotaru)
Mikan leapt in joy, "Wow Hotaru! You're good in inventing things!"
Hotaru sighed, "Never noticed before?"
Mikan just followed Hotaru and went in the car, Hotaru will be the one to drive since she's the one who's good at driving, Mikan on the other hand was tuning the radio, she was getting irritated because it was making some weird noises.
"Stupid! We're in the garage so there's no signal… "
Mikan looked at Hotaru and gave her a smile, "Oh…"
Mikan works in a flower shop while Hotaru works as a high engineer, Mikan didn't have any choice but to work at the flower shop since the other shops didn't need an employee.
Mikan entered the flower shop and looked around, "Sugoi! Full of flowers!"
"Quit gazing around, go to work!"
Mikan searched where the voice came from, finally, she saw him, her boss, "Hehe… goodmorning… Mr.. uhm…?"
He rolled his eyes, "Mr. Hachiro is the name.."
Mikan: Oh.. heeheehee… ohayo Mr. Hachiro!
Mr. Hachiro: Get to work will ya? You're uniform will be given to you by one of my employees.
Mikan: Hai!
Mikan entered the door where her boss was pointing to, as she entered, she smelled a good aroma, she followed the scent and it lead her to the shop-kitchen.
Cook: New here huh?
Mikan nodded.
Cook: Go through that door and turn right, that's the locker room, this is the mini kitchen, where employees eat. Beside the locker room is the bathroom. If you need a uniform, then you also need to go to the locker room.
Mikan gave him a smile, "Thanks!"
Cook: No prob. Now hurry up, our boss is a lion!
Mikan: A lio.. on?
Cook: You'll understand that next time.. now GO!
Mikan entered the locker room and found 4 employees, "O.. ohayo"
The 2 gave her a nod while the other 2 gave her a smile.
silence
Mikan broke the silence, "Uhmm.. I'm new here and I need a uniform."
One of the employees approached her holding a plastic, "Here.. goodluck if you're new.. our boss is a lion!"
Mikan: What do you mean by that anyway? The cook said the same!
The other employees' smiles faded and gave her sad look.
Then, the employee who gave her her uniform started to cry, "You'll know someday.."
Mikan was surprised about the crying thing, "What's wrong..?"
"Betsuni.. (nothing)"
Mikan went to the restroom to change, she sighed every now and then, the words "You'll know someday" was repeating in her mind, she wondered, "I wonder… is he unkind?"
Mikan went out of the restroom wearing her new uniform, then, she proceeded to the main room, the shop. "I'm.. back.."
Mr. Hiroshi glared at her, "Why took you so long?"
Mikan gulped, "Well.. uh.. I kinda talked with the employees first, you know, to get to know the-"
Mr. Hiroshi grabbed her arm, "I hired you here to talk, not to chat with my other employees, they are having their lunchbreak now and you.. AREN'T!"
Mikan backed away from her boss, "Ye… Yes sir…"
The door opened and in came a raven-haired boy. At first Mikan didn't notice, "Welcome!"
Natsume's heart beat fast, That voice… sounds like… He looked at the saleslady and.. "Mikan?"
Mikan stared at Natsume, happiness in her eyes, "Natsume-kun!"
Natsume: You work here? What about your fiancé?
Mikan's smile faded as she heard the word 'fiance' "He.. he's coming back tomorrow…"
Natsume: I.. I see…
But then…
"STOP CHATTING AND BUY SOMETHING WILL YA?"
Natsume looked around and saw a man.
Mikan: Mr. Hiroshi, he's my childhood friend and-
Mr. Hiroshi: I DON'T CARE!
Natsume smirked and started raising his hand, he was about to
Make a ball of fire when..
"STOP NATSUME-KUN! You know the rules!"
Natsume sighed and put his hand down, "I'll come back next time.."
Mikan waved goodbye to Natsume, she turned around and started to cry, "Why do you have to be so mean to him boss? He just wanna talk to me that's all!"
Mr. Hiroshi: He should do that during your breaktime!
Mikan: When IS my breaktime?
Mr. Hiroshi: Every 12 o'clock… 15 minutes!
Mikan: 1.. 15 MINUTES? And you expect your employees to work the whole day?
Mr. Hiroshi: Any problem with that?
Mikan: You're torturing your employees sir! You must not do that! They only eat once a day?
Mr. Hiroshi: Yes.. Shut up will ya? You're annoying!
Mikan: I.. I cannot stand this anymore! I'm outta here!
Mikan took of her apron pgg and marched all the way to the door and slammed it as soon as she went out.
She started walking and passed by a building which had a sign says …
Needs an Employee, 15-25 years old, secretary.
"I .. I can work here!" Shouted Mikan in joy.
Mikan entered the building and approached the information booth, "Uhm.. I'm here to apply for the secretary job?"
The employee there raised her head and smiled at her, "You're very beautiful ma'am, I'm Ms. Izumi, follow me please?"
"I hope everyone here is kind.. " Mikan whispers to herself.
Unfortunately, Ms. Izumi heard her and looked at her, "Don't worry ma'am, Mr. Hyuuga is very kind.."
Mikan's eyes shot wide, "Di.. did you just say.. Mr. Hyuuga?"
