Chapter 4
"You sent me? Why? In the first place, how did you know I was working here?" I asked.
"Simple. One of my friends renovated their place and recommended you to me. And, since Syaoran needed his place to be furnish his place, why not heed the advice? I doubted that it will be the same Sakura Kinomoto that I knew once. After all, there are bound to be more than one Sakura Kinomoto in Tokyo alone." Shiefa replied, chuckling a bit.
I was dumbfounded but she continued. "Anyway, I know things may not have been smooth between you and Syaoran but this time, he is just your client. Just think of it that way." She further added and left Yukito's office for her engagement. "See you Sakura, take care" she said before leaving and giving me a peck in my cheek.
As soon as she closed her door, my legs gave up and I sat on the floor. I sighed deeply. Sympathetically, Yukito came by my side and asked in a gentle tone, "Do you want to drink?". I nodded. Grabbing our bags, we left the office and went to Yukito's regular bar nearby the office.
"Slow down Sakura. You will experience hangover tomorrow" Yukito said. But I could not care less and emptied another shot of Jack Daniel.
"Why me? Why me? When I just found my own life..." I ranted, frustrated about the situation. Yukito looked at me compassionately. "I am sorry" he said. "I am extremely sorry Sakura. I could not stop her." He explained - his words sincere. I sighed and reasoned. "It is not your fault. I am sure she would have razed the whole place down if you refused her. I know she knew it was me. She has her ways." I merely stated, emptying another shot, trying to ease my current situation as if alcohol can solve my current predicament.
"But why is it that she wants to connect you to Syaoran badly? I thought you guys were over." He asked, still looking sympathetic yet quizzical at the same time. However, before I can answer, another person intervened, "That is none of your business." And the person grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the seat. Surprised by the sudden gesture, I turned around and saw that it was Syaoran, the culprit who fouled my mood this afternoon. I was shocked and tried to wriggle out of his grip but he just gazed straight to Yukito and stated "And, we were never over."
