Interns Chapter 3
Polarshipping
The day after the incident, Mai received an email from Seto Kaiba. He wanted to inform her that the new interns would be coming in that day just before lunch. He expected her to treat them well, and do everything in her ability to teach them as much as she could.
Mai sighed as she finished reading the email. She closed the web page and groaned loudly.
"What happened now?" Vivian asked as she peered over her cubicle to look at her blonde haired friend.
"Those interns are coming in today." Mai explained, turning to her co-worker and close friend.
"Awesome, aren't you excited?" Vivian teased, laughing as she got up to walk into Mai's cubicle.
"Actually, I'm feeling nauseous and annoyed."
"Oh Mai, quit the dramatics, it's going to be fun and I'll be here to help." Vivian said reassuringly, placing a hand on Mai's shoulder. Mai smiled at her friend and placed her hand over hers.
"Thanks Viv." She said with a genuine smile.
"Hey Mai, sorry to interrupt." The two women turned to see Mokuba Kaiba standing in front of Mai's cubicle smiling widely.
"Hello Mr. Kaiba, what can I do for you?" Mai greeted professionally.
"I'm guessing you got my brother's letter. Well, security cams show that the interns just arrived in the front lobby. I thought you would want to know beforehand." Mokuba explained. Mai felt her heart drop.
"Oh o-okay, I guess I'll go wait at the elevator for them." She replied half-heartedly.
"No, you won't have to do that. They'll be sent to your cubicle." Mokuba explained with a smile. Mai bit back another sigh.
"Anyways, I have to go to the other floors and inform them about the interns. I like doing it personally, sending messages over the intercom gets boring." He said with a giggle, before walking away from Mai's cubicle.
Mai watched his retreating figure and shook her head.
"Mai, you're being dramatic, just get back to work. If they're filling up the elevators, they probably won't be here for a while." Vivian said before returning to her own desk, pausing momentarily to send Mai a thumbs up gesture.
Mai pondered what Vivian had just said. It was true that the interns would probably take a while to show up and she knew she had files to complete.
She spun around in her office chair and faced her computer monitor. Shoving her earphones in and pressing play on her mp3 gave her temporary relief from the situation at hand.

"So this is the 35th floor huh?" Joey asked as he stepped out of the elevator with Tea'. The floor was set up like a classic accountant's office except for the fact that every wall and door carried the Kaiba Corp Logo and almost all of the office appliances had a custom glass finish.
"It sure is beautiful huh?" Tea' exclaimed, looking around in awe. Joey nodded in agreement.
"It sure is, I think I'm gonna like it here. So who are we looking for?" The blonde replied excitedly. Tea' looked down at the sheet one of the Kaiba Corp employees had given her in the lobby.
"Okay…35th floor…so we're looking for a 'Mai Valentine'." She replied, looking up confidently. Joey raised a fist and grinned at her triumphantly.
"Alright let's go fin- ouch! Tea' was what that for?" Joey asked as he suddenly felt two fingers grab his ear and squeeze tightly.
"No running this time! Did you forget about that food court incident so quickly?" Tea asked angrily. Joey sighed and moved out of her grasp.
"Look, I said I was sorry. And that was just a big accident." He replied, rubbing his ear indignantly and looking around to see if anyone was watching. Tea' sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Let's just find Ms. Valentine."

"Getting some work done, Mai?" Vivian asked peering over the blonde's cubicle. Mai turned to her and nodded.
"Yup, I guess that extra strong coffee I got from the lunchroom helped." She said with a smile.
"You could have asked me if I wanted one." Vivian replied with a pout, sticking out her tongue. Mai smirked.
"You know, I really would have loved to, but I didn't want to interrupt your skype conversation with your boyfriend. You know these computers are checked by the hour, right?" She said trying to hold in a laugh. Vivian's face went a bright red.
" .nothing." She said through clenched teeth, which only increased the volume of Mai's laughter.
"Excuse me, are you…Mai Valentine?"
The two employees turned to the source of the voice, already irritated that their conversation had been interrupted for the second time today.
Mai turned to see two young teenagers. The girl had brown hair and was wearing a black top with a gold skirt. Mai vaguely remembered her, but from where, she couldn't grasp. The boy was tall and blonde, wearing a white top with a blue jacket and matching blue pants. Mai knew exactly who he was.
"OH HELL NO!"
