Review

"Hey! Are you alright!?" The man inside the car got out, seeming genuinely worried about me, rather than clearly flamboyant scratch on his car. Well, it looked like a piece of junk anyway, like it was going to break apart at any moment.

It took me a moment to realize how good looking he was. He wasn't that well-built, but it wasn't bad either. He had messy, chestnut-colored hair, and his eyes were brown and warm. He had the sweet and innocent expression of a child, someone familiar.

Wait! Why was I noticing those things anyway? I had to snap out of it. I need to get to that appointment on time. Right now, however, I just hope he wouldn't be difficult about the incident.

Ch. 2

Finalizing the Deal

Sakura's P.O.V.

"Y-Yes, I'm fine," I stuttered.

"Great. Then you remember everything? No concussions? No head injuries or anything?" He seemed too concerned.

"I don't think so," I decided to be cautious.

"Great! Then pay up for my car," he chirped, with a wide grin, "'Cause you and I both know whose fault this is, or should I involve…" He didn't bother to finish the sentence.

What. the. hell? So that was his motive. Tsk. Knew it.

"OUCH!" I cried, clutching the side of my head exaggeratedly and lied, "I think I should see a doctor. Like, now!"

He eyed me incredulously. "I can drive you—"

"Oh, no, of course not. I wouldn't want I bother you," I pretended to be sincere, "I think I can manage to get to the hospital myself, thank you. If not, my friend can always take over the seat."

"You don't seriously think that you can get away without paying me first, do you?"

"Of course not!" Acting innocent was easy. After all, I've had years of practice. "But I really need to see a doctor now. Maybe get some x-rays done," I sighed, "Well, good-bye!" With that, I drove off, not leaving him a chance to stop me.

"Why didn't you just give him the money?" my assistant asked.

Of course she would be surprised. I could have easily afforded fixing such a crappy car with my income.

"It's a waste of money to fix it, which is undoubtedly what he'd do with it," I lied, but truth was that I'm just stingy. Very stingy.

"Oh," was all she could say in response, and that ended the conversation.

The moment we arrived at the building of the dealer's office, I was filled with enthusiasm. Though we had the right to sell about half of this company's products, the contract to selling their soap bar was something we couldn't afford to lose to the other companies. Already, many have expressed their interest on it.

"Ah, Ms. Kinomoto. We've been expecting you. Please come right this way," their secretary motioned for us to follow her in a large, bright room where two people stood to welcome us.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Kinomoto," the blue-haired man with glasses smiled, "I'm sorry to say that our CEO cannot make it to this meeting today. He encountered an incident on the way. Don't worry; it's nothing serious. He's just getting it repaired. He adores that car, you know."

"Oh, I see. Send him my regards then. But doesn't the chairwoman usually meet us herself?" This was unusual.

"Oh, the CEO is her son, and he's picking up most of the work nowadays."

"I see. I've never heard her mention this, though," I murmured. The chairwoman and I were quite close, so she would've probably told me about this. Yet, she didn't. Why?

"She probably forgot to tell you," he said. "But shall we get on with the deal?"

"Yes," I agreed, "We should."

A/N: Woot. Second chapter of my first ever fanfic is up. =]

And don't these descriptions sound awfully familiar? I wonder what's gonna happen… Heheh.
