Chapter 6: Overtime
Early next morning, I left the apartment without even checking whether Syaoran was up or not. I already had enough of him last night and I wasn't going to let him spoil the very next morning for me either.
Walking unenthusiastically into the office and plopping down at my desk, Tomoyo bounced over to me and felt my head. "Hmm, no temperature," she informed me.
"What on earth are you talking about?" I asked, looking at her.
"For your information you are 15 minutes early, can you believe it? You are actually early for once!" she shrieked. "Even Miss Meng isn't here yet!"
"Well who wouldn't be early if they didn't have a decent night's sleep," I told her, stifling a yawn.
"Why what happened?" Tomoyo asked, concerned.
"Well firstly Mr. Li blew the television yesterday night and then he had the cheek to make malicious calls to my mobile," I told her angrily. "And you know what, he didn't even apologize!"
Tomoyo shook her head in disbelief. How on earth did we end up getting under each other's nerves she must've have wondered. Well I do only have one statement to make: I HATE HIM.
Oh speak of the devil, look at who just walked in. Surprisingly not, a pretty cheerful Mr. Li strolled in through the doors and bid everyone good morning, chatted up the receptionist and then headed for his room. I stuck out my tongue behind his back as swung my chair round so that I was no longer facing directly at his room. Why was it that coincidental that my desk happened to face directly at his room? Was this some kind of curse? Sigh.
So basically for the entire day, I avoided going into his room and bumping into him. This was getting easier as the working hours ended since he disappeared right after lunch and never returned. Even Miss Meng who was known now to be stalking him every minute of the day, hadn't a clue where he had gone. Well, that didn't bother me because that meant peace and quiet during the journey home before I really had to face him again. Just as I was getting ready to leave, Miss Meng stopped me in my tracks and handed me a document.
"Sakura, could you please be a honey and help me type up this proposal?" she asked me nicely. ARGHH, she always uses that attitude to get what she wants especially when she's got this glamorous event to attend to.
"What event is it this time Miss Meng?" I asked her, taking hold of the document.
"Important business meeting," she told me briefly, " You wouldn't understand. By the way, when you're finished just place it on my desk."
"Hey! Do I get paid extra for this?" I exclaimed but was too late as she had already rushed out of the door. I stared at the document and wondered whether I should rip it up and dump it in the bin. Why should I help her do her job when she doesn't help me with mine? She didn't even thank me! Although I was extremely tempted to take the document and give it to the stray dog loitering outside, I sat down at my desk and started to take off my coat. Looks like I have to work overtime after all, though that would be a good thing wouldn't it? Since I wouldn't have to face Syaoran tonight. Yeah, working overtime is a better option I guess in this situation.
Switching on my computer, I opened up the document and my eyes nearly jumped out of my sockets. Holy Shmoly! What kind of proposal was this? It had thirty pages and was written in Miss Meng's wonderfully not so legible handwriting. Peering at the horrifying swirls on the page, I wondered what a particular word said. Oh well I'd have to make a guess. My goodness was it going to be a long night…
I yawned as my back started to ache and my vision started to blur from reading the dreadful text and the computer screen. I clutched my stomach as it growled and gurgled for food. I wonder if there are any snacks in the tearoom? Getting up from my seat, I headed into the tearoom and raided the fridge. I was disappointed to find that there wasn't a single cupcake or tiny bit of leftover chocolate left not to mention that Ella, one of our colleagues forgot to buy milk again today. Sigh, so that meant no coffee or tea. I walked back to my desk and slumped into my seat unenthusiastically.
Food thoughts drifted through my head as I thought of a nice curry dish, fried rice and spaghetti…. Yum! Hold on a second, I think I can smell chicken soup. No seriously I think I can smell it. Oh my god, I think I'm hallucinating, my desire for food is making me quite delusional. Before I could question my senses again, a familiar figure appeared at the door with two white plastic bags.
"Syaoran?" I called out, surprised.
"Yo!" he greeted, as he placed the bags on my desk.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him, still staring at the bags.
"Well, I heard from Miss Meng that you were working overtime so I decided to bring some food for you to pig out on," he said, unpacking the boxes of delicious hot soup.
I licked my lips as the smell of chicken soup filled the room. However being the stubborn person I usually am, questioned, "Who says I'm hungry?" Just then my stomach growled and gurgled again causing Syaoran to laugh. "Says your stomach," he replied. My face turned beetroot red and I glared at him jokingly.
"Hey it's not funny!" I stuttered trying to stop it from growling again. "You try being hungry and not having anything to eat!"
Syaoran chuckled again. "Well then, what are you waiting for? Tuck in!" he said as he handed me a spoon and a plastic cup filled with delicious soup. "What do you say?" Syaoran prompted as I reached out to grab the cup.
"Thank you Syaoran, you're such a sweetheart!" I joked, imitating Miss Meng's high-pitched flirting tone. "Now, give me that soup!" I growled in my ordinarily manner and started to slurp on the soup loudly.
"You're so un-lady-like," he commented, looking at me downing the soup within minutes.
I ignored his comment as I continued to finish the soup. Eating time was for eating not arguing I told myself.
Syaoran glanced at the screen displayed with the typed up copy of the proposal and then flicked through the original thirty sheets of paper. "You've only typed up five pages of the proposal within these two and a half hours?" he exclaimed. "You haven't been working hard!"
Finally I finished my soup and I slammed the cup down. "What do you mean I haven't been working hard? I've been sitting here all evening trying to work out what half the words on the damn pages say unlike SOME lazy people," I retorted, obviously referring to him and Miss Meng.
"You try sitting here for half of your evening, hungry and not having a clue what you're supposed to be typing!" I snapped. I cleared my throat and excused myself to the ladies. I couldn't stand talking to him! That ignorant so-called line manager!
Splashing some cold tap water onto my face I took a deep breath and examined my face. Oh my goodness I'm getting wrinkles already! I quickly pulled out my concealer from my trouser pocket and dabbed over the foreign lines under my eyes. See what all this stress is doing to me? Maybe I should ditch this job and do something that I really want. Fly to Australia and bungee jump? I'll think about it. Now back to work before that Syaoran sidetracks me from doing my job.
I headed back towards my desk when I saw Syaoran meddling with my computer. AHHHH! I let out a piercing scream that echoed throughout the quiet room and Syaoran froze with fright before turning to look in my direction.
"Could you please quit doing that?" he hissed as he tried to relieve himself from the shock.
"Who says you could touch my stuff!" I screamed, marching over to him and pushing him off the seat. "You better not have messed up the document!" I snarled at him, scrolling through the word document for any suspicious changes.
"Hey! I was only wanting to help," he said, feeling hurt.
"Well nobody asked for your help," I told him though I felt kind of bad since he really didn't do anything to the document except help me type up another page. Wow, he sure was fast!
"Well, erm…..I guess I better leave you to it then," he replied in a small voice and started to head for the door, knowing that I was soon to start another of my tantrums.
Okay, I never knew I would be doing this but I actually called for him to come back. Well I'm bored so why make the situation worse by driving away someone who is willing to accompany you. "Hey Syaoran!" I called out before he turned the corner.
Oh my goodness that's the first ever time I've called him by his actual name. Usually I just go 'Hey you!' because I'm so irritated. Syaoran's sad expression immediately turned to a grin and he practically bounced over back to my desk. Yes bounced, he definitely DID NOT walk like a normal human being. "Yes Ying Fa?" he chirped and I looked at him, raising my eyebrow. Since when did my name become Ying Fa?
"Hey the name's Sakura, NOT Ying Fa," I told him. I hate when people start making up these weird nicknames for me without my consent. Yamaki used to do that and I hated it. GRR!
"Okie dokie Ying Fa," he replied with a smug smile. I shot him an irritated look. You know he's starting to get on my nerves again. "So what was it you wanted Ying Fa?" he continued to blab and I could feel the steam ready to explode in my head.
"SYAORAN, WHAT PART OF DON'T CALL ME YING FA, DO YOU NOT GET?" I screamed in his ear, causing him to jump back a little.
"What's the matter Ying Fa? Don't you like me calling you Ying Fa?" he asked innocently. Right, that's it! He asked for it! I leapt from my seat and started to chase him around the office with one of the huge folders on my desk.
"Help!" he shrieked as he ran around laughing. This went on like about ten minutes and I can't believe I didn't get to hit him once! Not even once! Well, Syaoran was getting a little too excited because he didn't look where he was going and crashed into an oblivious figure who just walked through the door. Uh oh. I better rush back to my desk.
Syaoran however, pushed the poor person onto the ground but he was quick and pulled them back onto their feet with a graceful movement. Or rather pulled them into a graceful embrace. Yuck. Can you guess who the person was? No? Well's here's a clue. She was ready to scold the horrid person who had bumped into her but seeing immediately that it was none other than THE Li Syaoran, she blushed and stared dreamily as she felt herself in his embrace. Know who it is now? Yep, it was none other than the wonderful Miss Meng.
