Oh gawwdd, I had to fix this chapter. SO MUCH. It was so messed up and childish and...ruined. Pretty sure I'ma be doing this all day.

The main storyline is still in place, with a few minor tweaks. Most of the chapter titles are the same as well :)

I really hope you like it! ^_^

Disclaimer is in the first chapter.

So it was just us four alone in the large conference room. Uchiha Sasuke looked like he didn't care; Karin looked smug; Sakon was a cross between annoyed and worried. I was shit scared.

"Why were you doing the work...?" Karin asked, finally acknowledging me.

"Haruno Sakura," I supplied. I saw the raven haired hottie's eyes show recognition at my name. Interesting?

"...Haruno?" she finished.

"Coz she's my assistant. She's been doing this shi-, I mean, this work for ages!" Sakon interrupted.

"No one asked you. Shut up." she ordered him. He shrugged. I heard him mutter, "Whore," before he got the evil eye from her again.

"So, let me get this straight." Karin drawled, leaning over the raven haired guy giving him an eyeful of boob. "You read lots of confidential data and even fixed some of the errors?"

She was talking, of course, to me. I clenched my fist, hoping to calm myself.

"Yes, that's right."

Sakon snorted, but was silenced by a glare from Uchiha Sasuke. Saved again.

"You really messed things up for us, didn't you Sakon?" Karin said, evilly. He gulped.

"For us?" that was the boss man again. Karin whirled around to face the owner of the Corporation. I noticed her freakishly tiny breasts wobble and stifled a laugh.

"Yes! For ou-the company!" she explained, overly smiley. He didn't buy it.

"It's MY company." he stood up, and I wasn't too surprised to find he towered over each one of us. "And you shouldn't be so quick to judge, Karin. I have reports on you too."

"On me?" the redhead echoed, pointing a scarlet nail to her barely-there cleavage. I refrained myself from rolling my eyes. Gots to keep the image up at work, after all.

"There's a reason I asked you all to stay back." the brunette explained. "You're fired."

"FIRED?" I yelled, startling everyone, who had turned pale. I retreated the moment I remembered my motto: Don't draw attention to yourself.

"How? Why? I didn't do anything, Sasuke-kun!" Karin screeched, clutching his sleeve. It was SO obvious she wanted him as more than a boss.

"Here's proof of your deals with other companies. You can go over it while packing up your things." he made to leave the room and no one stopped him. Karin and Sakon were busy glaring daggers at the file HE had left on the

table, at each other and at HIM.

"...and I've got copies of that, so don't bother destroying it." the two quickly pulled their hands away.

"Uchiha-san!" I called, hurrying behind him. We were in the hallway where I'd bumped into Karin. He stopped and looked over his shoulder. "Hn?"

"I didn't do anything, sir! I just typed what all was given to me! I didn't cheat the company and I-" I tried to explain, gasping in my haste.

"I know. You're not fired. You're my new PA."

"..."

"Starting Monday."

"WHAT THE HELL?" I yelled. He stopped again and turned around to face me properly this time.

"You need to be more composed if you're going to take on such a responsibility." he pointed out. "Do you not want a promotion? I made sure to read your file before making this decision. Sakon has been giving in good

reports since the exact time you joined the firm, Haruno. It's obvious you're good at your job. This is a better opportunity for you, better pay too. If you still don't want it, it's fine."

I blinked. WOW. That was...sudden. Came out of the blue. I hesitated. He waited. I opened my mouth to politely accept but...

"Omigosh! Thank you SO much!" I shouted, lunging at him. He stiffened, but being the maniac I am, I tightened my hold on him. "I needed a break like this! THANK YOU UCHIHA-SAMA!"

"Get. Off. Me." he ordered, his eyebrows knitted together. Realizing my position, I immediately let go. "Shite! I'm so sorry, it won't happen again, sir." I groaned, bowing and staring at the floor to hide my flaming face.

"Report at nine sharp. D-Don't be a second late." I was surprised at the sudden stutter. It was so unexpected, coming from a man like him. The rumour mill had informed me that he was a cold, unfeeling bastard with no sense of humour and overly confident. And popular with the ladies, as was usual with gorgeous multi-millionaires. So I was allowed to be shocked when the infamous Uchiha Sasuke STUTTERED, right?

"YOSH!" I replied, but he'd already disappeared. The smile on my face refused to, however. I ran to my old desk (in Sakon's old office!) and began clearing out my stuff. It took less than 10 minutes to take my stuff out, pack it into a box and give the desk a swift dusting. I was free. FREE!

What was that feeling right now? A flustered Sasuke thought. Such a strange girl...her hair...her forehead... He shook his head to clear his thoughts.

He had never encountered such a lively girl, her meek, geeky exterior had fooled him. She intrigued him.

I ran out of the huge building and began to walk toward my house. Holding the tiny box under one arm, I quickly took out my cell phone and punched in the number of my best friend.

"Ino-pig!" I squealed the minute she answered.

"Wow, someone's happy! What's up, Forehead?" she laughed and I smiled wider.

"You know my crappy job where I hate everyone for being assholes and they hate me for being a wimp?" I asked, mischievously.

"Yeah, I still don't get why you act-" she began.

"PIGGY!" I cut in, annoyed that she was not letting me continue my story. "Let me finish!"

"What? You asked me a question and-"

"Fine. I won't tell you! I'm gonna call TenTen an-"

"NOOOO!" she screamed and I winced at the sheer volume. "Tell me first! I'm your bestie, bitch!"

"Hah! Okay, so my boss Sakon, remember the greyish haired guy?"

"Um...I think so...he was kinda cute."

"A little." I agreed. "Anyway, so he gave me some work to do and I fell asleep and stayed overnight at the company and this morning he woke me up all pissed off because I hadn't done the work and he got into trouble. Then he tried to pass it off as MY fault to the OWNER of the damn corporation, but turns out he was gonna get fired anyway and the Boss' personal assistant was leaking information to other firms and they BOTH got fired!" I completed triumphantly.

"Um...okay...wow, hot news?" Ino asked me, sounding very confused. I sighed.

"Well, apparently Uchiha Sasuke had read both mine and Sakon's files and was pretty impressed and-" I paused, holding out my hand to flag a cab.

"...Uchiha Sasuke, huh?" Ino's voice was becoming curious.

"Hold on a sec," I told her, then told the cabbie where I had to go. "Yeah, so basically, you're speaking to HIS new PA!"

There was a pause and then my mobile burst into a million pieces of plastic and other...material. Ino shouted over and over again until I told her to shut it.

"Noooo! WOW! Billboard-brow, I'm so proud of you!" Ino squealed, and I could imagine her doing a little jig in her flower shop. "Meet me tonight! I'll tell the girls! I'm so happy!"

We spoke for a while more then hung up. It took around 20 minutes to get to the crumbly street that held up my small cottage-like house, which was equally shabby. I noticed the cab-driver's look while I payed him. He even gave me some money back, saying it was too much. I didn't like being pitied, but hey, I needed some cash. I got a much needed break by getting the job, and now more opportunities were sprouting up and I would grab them and hold on with both

hands - anything to make my life better. Besides, I needed some dough for shopping and hanging with my friends...it had been WAY too long since I'd had any reason to have fun!

Holy. So I'm pooped. And I'm supposed to go swimming later today. I HAVE TO FIX MY STORY!

Please read and review, I hope it's easier to tell when there are "gaps" in the story! :)
