--Four: That's what you'll get --
So what can be worse? Getting fired every week or maybe…I don't know, getting to work 5 hours late then show your boss's boss your underwear perhaps?
I can't believe this is happening to me.
Why me?
What did I do to deserve this?
Maybe I ran over the neighbor's dog once but I just got my license. And the dog's fur was exactly like the pavement. It's not my fault all the time, you know.
Sakura banged her head on the desk repetitively, forgetting something very important.
"Erm… Sakura, what are you doing?" Eriol raised one of his eyebrows.
Sakura looked up. "Oh…shit," she mumbled under her breath, suddenly looking very embarrassed.
Everyone in the meeting room was looking at her and whispering among themselves.
Mental note to self: Do not think about how miserable life is when you're having a meeting.
Sakura thought of an excuse and said the first thing that sounded smart, "I need to clear my head."
"Are you saying that my proposal is hard to understand?" The boss of a very important company asked, looking very insulted.
"No, not at all sir." Thought I can't make out a single word he is blabbering about……
The boss wasn't buying it, "Where is the president of this company?!"
"He cannot make it today, sir. He is engaged in some crisis." Eriol manage to cut in while glaring at Sakura.
Sakura shrugged. It's not her fault; any logical women would do the same. If you found someone peeking from under your desk (in this case, it is Eriol's desk) what would you do? And besides, who in the world would skip an important meeting just because his cheeks are swollen? It's not like his face was deformed like Erik from "The Phantom of the Opera." Syaoran was far from that…
"Then that's it! What can be more important than this? I had enough!" With that he stomped off with his secretary.
Eriol and Sakura stared at door.
"Mr. Big Fat Monkey who never shaves…" Sakura whispered to herself and within a second later, Mr. Big Fat Monkey stomped back into the room.
"It's Keroyonagi! Not big fat monkey!" And he stomped off the room again.
Eriol ran after Mr. big fa- I mean Mr. Keroyonagi. I took the documents on the table and left the room.
I dropped the documents on my desk and I couldn't help but glared at the room across the hall. Who does the room belong to? Sorry, no prize for the winner but bingo! Aren't I lucky? I get to face Syaoran as long as I sit here and look straight. Unless, he closed the curtains of course, but knowing him would he do that? No. Curse you Kami-sama for making me work with someone who believed in Fung Sui.
An icon flashed on my laptop and I clicked on it the email.
From: Syaoran Li
Message: Don't curse Kami-sama. And stop frowning; your face might just stay that way. By the way, I love your underwear. Who would have thought innocent little Sakura would wear something that revealing. I would not mind having the same incident repeating everyday if you wear those kind of underwear more often. Especially green. You look good in them.
That pervert!!!!!! How dare he say things like that!!!!!! I looked over and saw him smirking at me. His face looked just as handsom— I mean horrendous as usual to me. Maybe I should have hit him harder. You know, kick him there. Now that will feel good.
The icon flashed on my screen again.
From: Syaoran Li
Message: You know you should stop staring at me. I know I'm the most handsome guy you have ever seen.
He winked at me and he took a bite of the sushi in his hands. That looked so good, um… I'm talking about the sushi.
I reached over to my bag and search for my lunch box while Syaoran stared at me, observantly. Hoe? I couldn't find it anywhere.
From: Syaoran Li
Message: Thanks for lunch.
Oh no he didn't! Grr! I'm going to get Touya after him! Then he'll really be sushi!
"Photocopy this and send it back to me," Eriol said as he threw a large stack of paper onto my desk and stormed into his office. His hair was messy; it was sticking out in different directions and he looked like he just ran a marathon. Or maybe just our company's stairs. Ha! Now he knew what I went through.
I looked at the huge clock on the wall. Yes! Just one and a half hours more and I'll be free! Free until—
From: Eriol Hiiragizawa
Message: Hey Sakura, just want to let you know that you have to stay till 10.00 p.m. since you were 5 hours late. Have a nice day!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is not happening! Curse you Kami-sama!
From: Eriol Hiiragizawa
Message: P.S don't curse Kami-sama, that's my job. It's your fault anyway.
I rested my head on the table and it took me a minute to calm my breathing and when I was done with that, I was in lala land.
"Miss Kinomoto!"
I tried to pull the sheet over my head but I can't find it.
"Miss Kinomoto! Wake up!"
I jerked my head up and saw the whole class laughing at me. Mr. Yoshita, the middle aged history teacher looked very angry as he stood before me, "Miss Kinomoto, detention!"
I groaned and looked at my left by accident and immediately regretted it. Li Syaoran was looked at me with a smile. I know that smile…
"What are you smiling at, jerk?" I asked as I glared at him.
"Oh, nothing." He answered casually. Something is up, I just know it.
The bell rang and I packed my stuff. I noticed that Li Syaoran was taking his time.
I tried to get up but was pulled down by an invisible force. What the—?
Syaoran walked in front of my table, putting his face inches from mine and ask, "What's the matter Sakura? Stuck?" he empathized the word 'stuck'.
DAMN YOU SYAORAN LI!
I woke up abruptly due to an annoying beep. I realized that it was coming from my phone. I dug my phone out of my bag and flipped it open.
From: Pig-headed Pea Brain Freak
Message: Have a nice nap Kura? You were moaning my name over and over again… I didn't know you were having those kinds of dreams about me…
I felt the heat on my face. I looked over to Syaoran office and saw that it was empty. Then I realized that everyone was running around like crazy and the office was a mess. If someone didn't know better, they would think that the office was hit by a tornado. Girls were appalling more makeup and putting on branded shoes that could kill. Literally, if I wore them, not only will I get hurt, others will too.
The guys were trying to tidy up the mess that the girls made but it didn't seem to be working.
I got up and manage to stop one of my colleagues and asked what was going on.
"Oh my god! Like you don't know?!" she looked at me as if I had grown another head or something. What's with the way she talked anyway?
I shook my head and replied, "I don't." I mean, if I do, then why the hell would I be asking her? Sigh, you can't expect anything from women these days. Wait, what am I?
"Today's like the most important day of year!" She said; more like yelled matter-of-factly, "She's like so totally coming!"
"She? Who?" I asked curiously. But she didn't have to answer because the door suddenly burst opened and my 'answer' walked in. I noticed that everyone in the office line-up in two straight line and I'm right in the middle of it. My colleagues quickly move into the line while I just stood there dumbfound at the beautiful women. Not the smartest thing to do, Sakura…
She was giving me the move-or-die look and I gladly move aside as I blushed crimson. Today is not my day, then again when is?
I wonder who she was as she passed by me and then I realized that I was looking at Yelan Li herself. Wow, she has not changed much…come to think of it, she was always at my school. I wonder why… wait, wait, wait a minute. Isn't pig-headed pea brain freak's last name 'Li'? I mentally smack myself on the head.
Eriol ran towards me and asked, "Where is the document that I asked you to photocopy?"
I gasped. Shit! I forgot all about it!
Eriol sighed, "Never mind, just photocopy it now. Twelve copies and twelve cups of coffee to the meeting room, now." And he ran towards the meeting room.
I grab the documents without looking at it and went to photocopy it. Not knowing how my new blouse got stuck in it, the whole machine jammed. But at least my blouse was saved. I made the coffee and rushed over to meeting room and make myself presentable before entering.
Thirteen pair of eyes turned to me as I pass the document to Eriol and placed the coffee on the desk. Eriol rushed me to the side of the room.
Yelan was sitting at the end of the table. Syaoran was standing at the other end of the table, looking very confident as he held document. The front page looked very very familiar to me.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the document you are now holding, holds the future for HC," Syaoran finally speak. I stared at the document that he was holding. It was very familiar indeed.
"The first page contains our new logo," he continued as he flipped open to the first page. Kami-sama, tell me that this is not happening…
Everyone in the room gasped while I stand there speechless. He was holding my…
Yelan, who was drinking the coffee, spat it out the moment she drank it. How rude! It was my first time making coffee; I mean what harm could a mixture of salt, sugar, vinegar, pepper, ketchup, onions, soy sauce, cold water, oyster sauce and chili sauce do to you? I guess I found out the answer the hard way……
She fainted the next second. Okay, maybe it's really bad…
Maybe it wasn't my coffee. It was the new logo. I walked to the table to have a peeked at the new logo while everyone else rushed towards Yelan. My eyes nearly popped out of my eye socket when I saw it. I photocopy the wrong thing! I accidentally photocopy my notebook that I used to…
HK Daily
HC, probably the largest company in Hong Kong, Japan, China and America is believed to be worth more than 25 billion.
Li Syaoran, the current president of HC, after his mother Li Yelan, the pervious president of HC passed the company to him,
had presented the world with the new HC logo yesterday at the HC's main branch. The 22 year old prodigy is one of the world
youngest president and yesterdays incident had proved that this is no mistake. At least the world hoped so.
HC's new logo: FUCK YOU LI SYAORAN!!
…curse Syaoran. Not good…
