A shrill noise echoed throughout the room as a pale hand reach out and pressed the snooze button on the alarm clock that was causing the loud and ear-piercing noise. "Damn alarm clock, he just had to get the loudest and most annoying one he could find." A deep voice muddled with sleep spoke from under the black satin sheets on the Californian King Size bed where one Sasuke Uchiha slept.
[Sasuke Uchiha Stats: Age - 25, Height - Six Feet Four Inches, Weight - 200 Pounds, Build - Medium, Marital Status - Single, Occupation - Successful CEO/Owner of Uchiha Industries, Hobbies - Annoying his Personal Assistant.]
The room itself was filled with what you would described as a Wealthy Goth motif, black iron-rod bed frame, ebony colored dresser, nightstand, book shelf, bureau with matching chair, and door that led to a walk-in closet fashion models would be jealous of.
Of course not to mention the thirty-five inch LCD Flat-screen hung on the wall, Bose entertainment system, black leather sofa and coffee table on the far end of the room so he could watch the television. The room also held a mini-bar so he could always have a stiff drink within reach, as well as entertain some "guests".
Sasuke after finally managing to get out of bed went to take a quick shower in the bathroom dreams are made of, black marble double sink and floors covered a red fluffy carpet so he wouldn't slip on the floor while wet. A water-jet bathtub and separate shower unit, as well as large cabinet filled with luxurious bath, hair, and skin products, must take a lot of money to always appear perfect.
Checking the mirror real quick after brushing his teeth, he smirked at his reflection, as dark eyes stared back at him, running his hands through his black hair he smirked once more. "Yes, perfect as always." He chuckled at his own vanity.
After the shower he dressed in his ridiculously expensive tailor-made black business suit and red silk tie, and went down stairs to the kitchen where he was greeted with the sight he had secretly grown fond of over the years. The sight being a blond haired beauty known as Naruto Uzumaki, his personal assistant or man-slave, which he sometimes thought of him as.
[Naruto Uzumaki Stats: Age - 22, Height - Five Feet Seven Inches, Weight - 155 Pounds, Build - Small, Marital Status - Sadly Single, Occupation - Personal Assistant/Man-slave, Hobbies - Art, Music, Martial Arts and trying to find ways to murder employer without getting caught, results thus far are inconclusive.]
Sasuke watched his personal assistant/man-slave make his breakfast just the way he liked it every morning, two fried eggs sunny side up, turkey bacon fresh out of the oven since he didn't like bacon cooked over the stove for some odd reason, two pieces of wheat toast, a cup of hazelnut coffee, and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, no concentrated juice for him.
Doing an once over on Naruto he always admired Naruto's ability to wear the color orange without it looking gaudy. Today's choice of wardrobe was black crisp dress pants, freshly press pristine white shirt which were now rolled up at his elbows since he was cooking, and a citrine colored tie, his black suit jacket was most likely on the coat rack, which Sasuke did not use himself much to Naruto's irritation.
The irritation formed from Sasuke's inability to properly hang up his coats on the coat rack and his habit of tossing his coats wherever they may land thus Naruto has to pick up after him whenever he came over to his home, which was unfortunately everyday. Sasuke was full of contradictions, anal in some ways, a slob in other ways.
He sat at the table watching Naruto delicately and dexterously placed the food on the plate making sure the food did not touch, like noted before full of contradictions. "Delicious as always, Naruto." Sasuke sighed happily as he sipped his coffee Naruto just poured for him, earning a not so hidden glare of annoyance.
Sasuke always love watching Naruto's emotions play out on his face, his blue eyes often changed colors due to each different emotion, when he was happy they were a sparkling sapphire, when he was sad they were a deep cobalt, when he was angry they were an icy lapis, as of now they were somewhere between sapphire and lapis so he wasn't completely pissed off.
"Must you be so condescending in the morning." Naruto huffed as he placed Sasuke's breakfast in front of the dark haired CEO. "I was being sincere this time, anyway why don't you ever sit down to eat with me, you always just make breakfast for me." Sasuke said as he cut into his eggs.
"You ask this question everyday and I always give the same answer, I eat after my morning jog then I come here to make your breakfast, which I'm sure you are fully capable of doing yourself and if you are not why not hire a personal cook." Naruto sighed as he ran his fingers through his long slightly spiky hair that draped down his back to his waist, he tried to get it cut before, but his boss insisted it look good long or rather he told him never cut his hair if he wanted to keep his job, he was weird like that.
"Yes… yes I know, but you know I can't cook as well as you can and why hire someone else to do something you can do and have been doing so for the last three years." Sasuke said as he bit into his turkey bacon, moaning at how good it was, nothing like freshly cooked crispy bacon.
Sasuke also noticed Naruto was running his fingers through his hair again this time it was stemmed from his exasperation from his boss' nonchalant arrogant nature, a habit he developed due to him telling Naruto he looked hot with long hair and he shouldn't cut it, or maybe it was the threat of firing him though he wasn't serious, but nevertheless Naruto decided not to cut his hair, so Sasuke did not argue since he got what he wanted.
"Humph… so you say anyway now shall we get down to business." Naruto said as he reach down and picked up his briefcase, retrieving his black thin wired reading glasses and orange colored day-planner.
"You have a meeting at eleven o'clock with both Sabaku and Hyuuga it is about the charity fundraiser you agreed to host at the end of this month, it is suppose to be a black tie affair. After that your father wishes to discuss something of importance, though he did not elaborate on what, that meeting is scheduled at three o'clock to give enough time to have lunch with Sabaku and Hyuuga and be back to meet with him, the rest of the day is open." Naruto said as he closed the book and looked up at Sasuke, who was leering at him.
"You're sexy in those glasses, did you know that." Sasuke smirked at the red blush that appear on Naruto's cheeks. "Did you even listen to what I told you?" Naruto sighed as he only got a dismissive wave from Sasuke.
"Don't worry so much besides it's only ten in the morning plenty of time to get to the office and have the meeting just relax." Sasuke said as he poured and handed Naruto a glass of orange juice, he knew Naruto hated to drink coffee despite his ability to make the best tasting coffee in the world, in his opinion.
After Sasuke finished up his breakfast, both he and Naruto journeyed out the penthouse, down to the parking garage. "So what car should I take today? I think the Benz will do." Sasuke said as he climbed into the drivers seat, buckled up as he waited for Naruto to do the same before pulling off with unnecessary speed.
"I don't know why you ask then pick the car out yourself without my answer as well as the fact you drive way too fast, it sill amazes me how you never get a speeding ticket." Naruto muttered as he folded his arms, all too familiar with Sasuke's borderline reckless driving, he still was on the fence whether it was a good or bad thing.
"You know it's a rhetorical question besides you were worried about the time, I'm just making sure we get there to meet Sabaku and Hyuuga." Sasuke smirked as he dived in and out of traffic before reaching the Uchiha Industries Headquarters, and with some impressive driving skills or rather parking skills he whipped his car into his designated parking space.
"One of these days you will kill yourself and take me along with you just so I can still cook breakfast for you in the morning!" Naruto shouted as he slammed the car door shut upon coming out of the car.
"Yes… yes my reckless behavior is going to get me killed and without an heir who will take care of the company and then where will all the proud and hardworking employees and their families be, I heard this lecture before." Sasuke sighed cutting short Naruto's soon to be anger-filled rant on Sasuke's irresponsibility.
"You're impossible! Anyway let's just go up to your office and get ready for the meeting." Naruto sighed, rubbing his throbbing temples as they went into the elevator to go to his office on the top floor.
When they exited the elevator they saw a young girl sitting at a large desk, the secretary most likely. "Good morning Mr. Uchiha, you're looking good as always." The secretary greeted the handsome CEO, her eyes practically sparkled in unbridled affection. She had bright cotton candy pink color hair and emerald colored eyes, dressed in a moderate dark green dress suit and black pumps.
"Please don't inflate his ego anymore than it is, Sakura have Sabaku and Hyuuga arrived yet, it is an half an hour to eleven o'clock and we all know they like to arrive early to check their rivals and allies for professionalism." Naruto said as he checked the clock on the wall of the main lobby.
[Sakura Haruno Stats: Age- 23, Height Five Feet Five Inches, Weight - 130 Pounds, Build - Small, Marital Status - Single though looking for a man, one such man named Sasuke Uchiha, Occupation - Personal Secretary to Sasuke Uchiha, Hobbies - Reading and finding new ways to get her crush to fall for her.]
"Yes they are in the waiting room, I had refreshments sent there as well. I can handle things, Naruto." Sakura said with a slight sneer as Naruto merely looked unaffected by her glare, which angered her more since she knows Naruto did not even feel slightly threatened by her.
She always aspired to be close to Sasuke Uchiha, when it time to hire a new personal assistant both Naruto and her went after the job though Naruto only wanted the job temporary even stating so himself since he needed the experience to further his own career after finishing his degree program.
While Sakura herself stated she would have been happy to remain his personal assistant for as long as she could, it was a clear choice for Sasuke as he hired Naruto on the spot, and she was left with the secretary position that was available for whomever was not chosen.
Sakura always resented Naruto for that, she did not see how he was picked for the position after stating he wished to have his own business someday, why hire a would be rival as your personal assistant, so she made it her goal to always do her job well and to try to perform some of Naruto's tasks.
However it would often backfire, she recalled one time quite clearly when she heard Sasuke requesting some coffee to drink, she immediately went to make some using the mini coffeemaker she had hidden at her desk while Naruto left to make a cup in nearby waiting room. She knew his favorite was hazelnut, once she was done she went to his Sasuke's office and handed him the cup as he never looked up from the report he was reading.
She watched her beloved drink her coffee in loving hope that he would appreciate her efforts as he took a sip of coffee only to spit it back out into the cup right after.
"Damn it Naruto what the hell did you do to this coffee, it tastes like crap! Oh… you're not Naruto." Sasuke yelled at first as he finally looked up at Sakura who looked heartbroken at the fact that her crush hated the coffee she made.
A few moments later Naruto came in with his own cup, wordlessly handing the cup to Sasuke before taking Sakura's coffee out of Sasuke's other hand. "Ah… much better now this is coffee." Sasuke said as he groaned into the cup. "I always say you make the best damn cup of coffee in the world."
"You always say that and I always tell you, I'm sure there are others who can do better." Naruto said carelessly as he went into the adjourning bathroom to dump out and rinsed out the other coffee mug.
"Well I still have yet to find said person." Sasuke retorted, as Sakura walked quietly out the room, not that they noticed, it was as if she did not even exist to them once they started talking. She did not understand their relationship, she overheard another co-worker ask if Naruto had feelings for Sasuke, but after a quick glare that nearly scared the man to death, he monotonously replied, "No" and walked away without another word.
She believed Naruto then, he did not act as if he even liked Sasuke at all, in fact he often acted quite the opposite, so why did Sasuke keep Naruto around. Though she never dispute that Naruto was always on top of things and professional, she still failed to see what could the blond have to offer that she could not, even if he could make a damn good cup of coffee as she admitted after trying a cup for herself.
"Sakura could you show Sabaku and Hyuuga into Sasuke's office please." Naruto asked Sakura from Sasuke's office door before going back inside.
Another thing she could never get was that Naruto was the only person allowed that worked for Sasuke to call him by his first name everyone else had to call him Mr. Uchiha, Sasuke was pretty insistent about the issue.
"Mr. Uchiha will see you both now, please right this way." Sakura said as she came into the waiting room where two handsome men stood before her, she quickly noticed her coffee was barely touched, she sighed at the fact her coffee making skills have not improved.
Standing before her was one long, dark haired good-looking man with strange pearl colored eyes, the other was an equally fine-looking man with short crimson colored hair and green eyes about a shade darker than her own, with a rather weird scarlet tattoo of the word "love" in kanji, quite peculiar for a businessman to have.
[Neji Hyuuga Stats: Age - 26, Height - Six Feet Four Inches, Weight - 204 Pounds, Build - Medium, Marital Status - Single, Occupation - Successful COO of Hyuuga Corporations, Hobbies - Art and not so secretly into Astrology, he is interested in fate and the celestial bodies.]
[Gaara Sabaku Stats: Age - 24, Height Five Feet Ten Inches, Weight - 180 Pounds, Build - Medium, Marital Status - Single, Occupation - Successful CEO of Sabaku Incorporated, Hobbies - Music and trying to find news ways of communicating without having to actually talk to people.]
After walking them into Sasuke's office she was dismissed back to her desk, quickly heading towards the exit, but not before taking one last glance at three of the most handsome men she had ever seen and one of the most beautiful ones since Naruto was too pretty looking to be considered handsome she finally closed the door.
"Damn it I could be sitting in that room with all those hot guys right now instead I'm out her bored." Sakura sighed as she went back to her desk and sulked.

"Welcome gentlemen can I offer you something to drink." Naruto greeted them as he showed them to the small sitting area Sasuke usually hold small meetings at.
"How about your infamous hazelnut coffee, Sasuke would not stop bragging about it." Neji said with a small smile, as Naruto blushed slightly, looking over to the right Gaara nodded his head as well.
"Very well." Naruto said as he walked to the other side of the room to make coffee, Sasuke finally put a coffeemaker in his office after the incident where Sakura nearly poisoned him with her own coffee so Naruto did not have to leave the office to make any from now on.
"Trust me you will think you had nearly die and went to heaven after drinking this, so while we wait shall we begin. You have any ideas for the fundraiser, I think it was for the Konoha Orphanage." Sasuke said as Naruto nearly dropped the coffee.
"Naruto is everything alright?" Sasuke asked emotionlessly however his eyes betrayed how concerned he was, Naruto never had a moment of clumsiness before, he watched as Naruto's hands trembled a bit.
"I'm fine I just need to step out for a moment, enjoy your coffee gentlemen." Naruto said with a slightly strained voice as he got his hands under control to pass them their coffee and then left the office without another word.
"So that's your personal assistant, you're very lucky." Neji commented as he walked Naruto leave the room, his eyes locked on Naruto's back more specifically his behind, earning a glare from Sasuke.
"His coffee is really good." Gaara said as he took a big sip and smiled slightly. "It must be if it got you to talk, that is the most I ever heard you say in one sentence in a long while let alone smile." Sasuke muttered.
"Do you know what got him spooked, he doesn't seem like the clumsy type." Neji asked as he noticed Sasuke's worried expression returned to his face.
"Not sure, but let's just continue on with our business. Naruto just probably went out for some air." Sasuke said as Naruto came back into the office a few moments later, composed as ever.
"I hope I did not hold up the meeting." Naruto said as he took his seat next to Sasuke, preparing to take notes. "Not at all." Gaara said as they failed to notice the slightly shocked looks from Sasuke and Neji, Gaara is usually not so understanding.
"Shall we continue then." Naruto said as they men nodded their heads and then got the meeting under way, much to Naruto's surprise they asked for his input.
"Well to be perfectly honest, I find the whole idea of a black tie event for an orphanage a bit strange and if you do not mind me saying, but I find it pretentious. The fundraiser should be about the children not the wealthy who choose to donate their money as a tax write-off or to make themselves seem less arrogant, but sadly only do the opposite with showy affairs like this." Naruto said strongly, he blushed a bit after he noticed he had their undivided attention.
"So what should we do, in the manner in which you are speaking I agree it is a bit pompous of us to have a party and then donate a check at the end of it, the child aren't even invited and even if they were they would not enjoy themselves." Neji agreed, after thinking about it for a bit.
"How about taking them to an amusement park, it is spring and those poor children never get to go unless they are fortunate enough to get adopted and their families take them to one. We rent the park out just for them for one day, they'll be sure to love it. You can still donate to the orphanage directly, but you really want to give them something they'll never forget." Naruto said with a stunning smile that captured the three men's hearts.
"An excellent idea, I actually know the guy who owns the nearest amusement park." Sasuke smirked. "You don't mean Kiba, back in high school he always said he didn't want a boring corporate job like us. Who knew he would end up owning a chain of amusement parks." Neji chuckled.
"Well for now I say this meeting is closed, we'll continue talking about the fundraiser at a later date for now let's head for lunch." Sasuke suggested as they all got up from their seats and headed out.
"Haruno hold all calls, I'm heading out to lunch." Sasuke said as he left the office with his small entourage in tail. "Of course have a good lunch, Mr. Uchiha." Sakura smiled but it quickly left her face when she noticed that Sasuke was not even looking at her, Sasuke was watching Naruto call up the elevator and was waiting for it to come up.
"Let's go so Sasuke where are we going for lunch?" Neji asked as he came out of Sasuke's office with Gaara. "A restaurant I have be wanting to try out, it's call Hokage." Sasuke replied as they entered the elevator never noting Naruto's slightly nervous expression, all except for Gaara who in the back of the elevator watching Naruto the entire time.
"Damn it of all the places, why there." Naruto thought as he mentally sighed and schooled his face to his normal blank expression.
