Riiiiing….Riiiiing….Riiiiing…..
Rin snatched the phone from it cradle and held it to her ear, "You've reached the offices of Sesshomaru-sama. This is his secretary, Rin. How may I help you?" Rin forced her voice to sound upbeat and enthusiastic.
"I need to speak with Sesshomaru." The voice on the other end was that of a woman. It sounded like the slurring, seductive sound of a saxophone and had an air of superiority surrounding it. But, damn, why'd she call him 'Sesshomaru'? Why not 'Sesshomaru-sama'? What the flip?
"I'm sorry, ma'am. Sesshomaru-sama is currently at a meeting, may I take a message?" asked Rin. She shuffled around her desk and managed to come out with a small piece of paper and a pen with a gigantic, plastic panda head stuck to it. It was Rin's favorite pen.
"Yes," the voice on the other end sounded mildly amused as well as irritated. "Tell him that Azami called and she wants him to come to her manor tonight. We have….business to discuss." The woman laughed, a sound like the tinkling of small bells, and hung up.
Rin was burning with jealousy and embarrassment as she shakily pocketed the piece of paper to give to Sesshomaru. The woman had been so…suggestive when she said business! Rin wondered whether Azami was sleeping with her boss.
"She's a lucky bitch if she is," Rin grumbled before looking at her watch. "Oh shit! It's 1:55 pm! Sesshomaru-sama's meeting ends at 2 pm. Damn it, Rin! Learn to keep better track of time!" She jumped out of her chair and grabbed her bag. She raced to the elevator and punched the button repeatedly.
"Come on, come on, come on! Yes!" The elevator doors slipped open and Rin leapt into it. She practically killed a man who was trying to enter the elevator in a hurry to push the button for the 10th floor.
The elevator slowly slid itself to the 10th floor, almost killing an impatient Rin. When the door finally opened, Rin sprinted through them and arrived at the meeting room just as Sesshomaru exited it. Rin dropped to a bow and panted softly, trying to breathe. She straightened and shot Sesshomaru an apologetic smile.
"A woman who called herself Azami-san left a message for you." Rin as she drew out the message. Sesshomaru eyed it for a heartbeat before accepting it. He read over it and slid it into his pants' pocket.
"Thank you, Rin." Said Sesshomaru simply and began walking towards the elevator. Rin trailed behind him. Her eyes flitted over his back and she found herself following the slight ripple of muscle whenever he took a step. He walked with such pride; his shoulders and hips rolling in unison as he moved, his back straight, and his head slightly lifted. Rin's sinful eyes rolled to his ass.
'Oh my Kami, what the fuck am I doing?' she averted her eyes and exploded into a blush. They stepped into the elevator and to her surprise; Sesshomaru pressed the underground parking button.
Sesshomaru seemed to sense her confusion. He glanced at her, "We are speaking over lunch." Kami! How could she have forgotten?
Heat flooded her face once again and she giggled stupidly, "I a-apologize, sir. I s-seem to have forgotten…"
"Hmm." He grunted. Rin sighed and gripped her bag tightly. As the elevator went down, the rest of the people in it slowly exited. By the 5th floor, Rin found herself alone with Sesshomaru. Her heartbeat went through the roof. Crap, crap, crap. Rin always found herself in these awkward situations!
She tugged at a loose strand of mocha colored hair nervously and her eyes flitted to Sesshomaru every few seconds. His back was erect and tense, his eyes glued to the elevator door. Wait what? His posture was almost…nervous.
'Hah!' thought Rin. 'Sesshomaru-sama couldn't be nervous about anything! He's probably just worried about the expansion to America.' But something told her that may not be right.
The elevator dinged into the ground floor and Sesshomaru turned towards Rin, "You will ride with me." It was not a request but, a command.
"Yes, sir," said Rin submissively. Sesshomaru shot an unreadable glance her way and lead her to his car. Rin fought the urge to faint at the sight of it.
It. Was. Sleek!
A black as night (or a really dark blue, Rin couldn't tell) 2012 Lamborghini Aventador that gleamed like it was new. As far as she knew about cars, this had cost Sesshomaru more than 300 grand. Holy Kami!
Rin forced her jaw closed and looked at Sesshomaru who, like a true gentleman, held open the passenger side door for her. She shuffled forward and beamed at him thankfully before slipping into the seat. The leather was cool and plush. The interior was a soft beige color and she sunk into her seat comfortably when her weight balanced out. There was a high-tech GPS on the dashboard and a thousand buttons Rin would never press. It was amazing. Oh, Kami. Sooo amazingly amazing!
Sesshomaru slid into the drivers' side and started the car. Rin felt like she was floating on air as he drove. Unlike her car, this one seemed to float over all the bumps, cracks, and stones in the roads providing ultimate comfort.
They glided into the parking of an expensive café that Rin had only seen, never entered. Sesshomaru slipped out of the car and had her door open in a heartbeat. They strolled into the café and Rin willed her pace to be casual and fought the urge to hyperventilate like an insane person. The café was breathtaking. She doubted this could even be called a café!
It was softly lit to imitate the sunlight outside but, it was less harsh. The carpets were lush, and a soothing caramel color. The walls were beautifully decorated with lovely maroon squares overlapping with perfect off-white squares. The tables were circular (promoting intimacy, Rin noticed) and the same color as the carpets. The wall that faced the street was made from bullet proof glass and it flooded the tables there with light. The counter elegantly swept from one side of the establishment to the other. There were cute hanging light over the counter that made the faces of the people behind it framed with white light. The café was half full and half empty, there were light murmurs and snatches of conversation but, other than that, it was quiet. Rin had never seen a quiet café before. Rin felt herself shrink with embarrassment and discomfort. She knew she did not belong here.
She quietly drifted after Sesshomaru as he walked to the counter. The women behind seemed to melt and fall over themselves to tend to his every need. Girl, puh-leez, you made me sad!
"How can I help you today?" asked the lucky girl breathlessly, turning to Sesshomaru and refusing to acknowledge Rin's existence.
'She's tall, dark haired dark eyed, tanned, and gorgeous,' thought Rin sullenly. 'She's sure to catch Sesshomaru-sama's attention.' To her surprise, Sesshomaru looked mildly irritated at the girls' stupidity.
"We will have two servings of today's special." He said. The woman looked like she wanted to fan herself but, was refraining from it. She flashed a dazzling smile and quickly tapped the order into her computer. She opened her mouth to speak to him but, Sesshomaru turned away, "Come, Rin."
Rin followed him wearily and tried to ignore the girl's burning glare on her back. Sesshomaru led her to a table by the window and pulled out a seat for her then, took the seat across from her.
"I'd like to see the files of the employees who have requested work at our Company." Sesshomaru said curtly. The Taisho Company had purchased another American company and some of the employees from there had requested a job at Taisho.
Rin dug out the neat files from her bag, "I've marked the files of those who seem ready to take higher positions and I've alphabetized the files. I've looked over references and have concluded that they are all worthy of the new company. Although, a man by the name of Jonathan P. Stevens has a criminal record; he was charged for petty theft and assault but, the charges were dropped. I'd advise not hiring him but, that is just my opinion, sir. Also, Ikeda-san (our American liaison) called and informed us that Jennifer C. Hobbes has requested a (quote on quote) "…water related event in which we may all have the golden opportunity to bathe in the refreshing warmth of the Japanese sun…" for our company party in two weeks. Might I suggest a trip to our private beaches?" Rin found Jennifer extremely annoying. For Kami's sake, the woman wore so much make-up she looked like a clown on Halloween. And that's saying a lot.
Sesshomaru riffled through the files, golden eyes scanned the book with amazing speed. A woman swung over to their table. She swayed her hips with dramatic thrusts and when she leaned down to put the food on the table, she made sure to show Sesshomaru everything inside her shirt. What the fuck?
Rin flamed with anger and dug her fingernails into her bag.
'What the hell am I getting so riled up about?' she asked herself angrily. She wasn't the only one who was annoyed with the waitress though.
"Excuse me," said Sesshomaru in a voice cold enough to freeze a desert. "What are you doing?"
The waitress proceeded to look innocent, "Um…I don't understand, sir."
Sesshomaru snorted cruelly, "Do you think that I do not notice your futile efforts to get my attention?"
The waitress looked hurt, "But, Sir I-"
Sesshomaru stopped her with an irritated hand, "Simply leave. I do not want to see you. Leave." The waitress stuttered before turning around and disappearing into the doors that lead to the kitchen.
Sesshomaru turned to Rin with a slightly irritated look on his beautiful face, "This party Mrs. Hobbes has requested, you will be there. You will be the assistant host and you will be planning the party. And do not forget that the party is in two weeks." Sesshomaru raised a spoonful of the spring green soup he had been served and raised it to his lips casually.
Rin fought the urge to scream and cry at the same time. She had to plan the whole party? In two weeks? It was impossible. Absolutely Impossible. She looked down at her soup with a deep, burning hatred.
Might as well start thinking about the party. She reached into her bag and yanked out her notebook and her pen. She scribbled ideas onto a blank page quickly while lifting the glass of water next to her bowl of soup and lifted it to her lips.
"Rin."
"Yes, sir?" her voice was muffled around her glass.
"I cannot wait to see you in a swimsuit."
Rin choked on her water and coughed into her arm. She gasped and her heartbeat pounded in her ears, 'Did he just say he couldn't wait to see me in a swimsuit?
Oh my gosh. So terrible. I'm really sorry, this chapter sucked. :
