The minute I got home, I called Raiko. When she didn't pick up after my fifth call, I gave up and threw my phone onto my bed. I still had to call the firm and let them know. Something in me didn't want to call, but the other side did. I don't know why it bothered me so much. I mean, the name Uchiha had never effected me before. Maybe I was just in shock that I was given this opportunity to work for one of the top businesses in the country when my expectations were only for a generic hospital setting.
I finally decided to pick up the phone and call the firm. The sooner the better, right? I dialed the number given to me on the paper. With every ring, my heart jumped and my palms grew sweaty. After about five rings, a voice came over the other line.
"USI Business and Accounting Firm. How may I help you?" a women's voice clearly recited.
"Y-yes. My name is Reina Takegawa. I was offered an internship position at this firm and was told to call this number." I tried to speak as calmly as I could. I was sincerely nervous as well.
"Ah yes! We were expecting you to call in." There was a temporary silence over the phone as the woman flipped through some papers. "Here you are. Reina Takegawa. You are interning for the administrative positions for the clinics, correct?"
"Yes!"
"Okay great. Are you free to come in for a quick interview today?"
"T-today?" I looked at the time. It was almost 4pm. "Umm, yes! yes, today is fine." I stammered.
"Ok! I will schedule you for 5?"
"Alright. Sounds good. Thank you!"
"Thank you! See you then." and she hung up.
I shut my phone and wasted no time in getting ready.
Before long, I had manage to get ready in thirty minutes and take the bus to the Enterprise building. After signing in, I took a seat in the large, yet luxurious lobby and anxiously waited for my name to be called. My phone suddenly vibrated and I hastily looked for it. I looked at the caller ID which read "Mama" and picked up immediately.
"Mama! Hi." I said ecstatically.
"Reina! How are you? You didn't call so I took initiative to call first. I know your busy anyway. How are you?"
"I'm great, mama. I'm sorry. It has been hectic. I'm about to go in for an interview for my internship."
My mother gasped on the other line. "Congrats, Reina! Your father and I are so proud of you. Say, where is it at? your internship that is..."
"It's for a Business firm in Tokyo? I know doesn't sound like anything related to medicine but I will explain later."
As if it were perfect timing, my name was called. I looked in the direction of the voice and made eye contact with the woman who called my name.
"I have to go, mama. I'll call tell you about the interview later, ok?"
"Alright, sweetie. Good luck!" and with that, I hung up and made my way to the woman.
"Please follow me." she said sternly and lead me through the halls until we got to a large presentation room. "Please take a seat and Mister Uchiha will meet with you shortly."
"Wai-" before I could say anything else, she abruptly left the room, leaving me alone in the silence.
'Mister Uchiha?' I thought to myself. Alone in a room with Mister Uchiha? I chill ran through my being. How intimidating. I never did good in one on one interviews anyways. I was always shy.
A few silent minutes passed by when I heard the sudden click of the door knob behind me. I waited for the person to reveal itself before saying anything.
I heard a little shuffling and the closing of the door.
"Sorry for the wait."
I froze at the charming voice and looked up, staring in awe at the person before me. Oh wow...
Was this person even human? I have never seen anyone as good looking as the man who stood in front of me. EVER. Sleek backed hair pulled into an elegant ponytail, a smooth complexion, and the darkest eyes I have ever looked in to.
When I realized I was staring, I blinked myself into reality and stood up abruptly.
"P-pleasure to meet you, Mister Uchiha! Thank you for the wonderful opportunity!" I said, a little over excited. I mentally punched myself for that.
"No need for such formalities. This is but a casual interview. Please, call me Itachi."
