CHAPTER 14: Sabotaging Plan
This particular morning I was doing my own planning of sabotaging Trunks plan, to see how long he could last without making a move. I picked out the 'special' suit that bulma and bra had bought me. It was a little risky but that was fine. It was a nice black suit, the skirt was extremely short, a lot shorter than my other ones, and on top of that it had a slit up one side that showed off a lot of my thigh. I put on a baby blue silk blouse, it was one of Trunks favorite colors on me, I left the top 2 buttons unbutton to show some cleavage but not too much. Instead of putting my hair up in its usual bun, I put my hair in curlers for about an hour, and now my hair was in cascading curls all the way to my back. I went back to the apartment and asked Bra to do my makeup, yah, I know I might have been desperate to ask bra, but this was all part of my plan. Bra just laughed in my face when I told her the plan.
"Panny, are you telling me you still like my brother even after what he did to you?" Bra asked as she did my makeup
"I know I'm stupid for still feeling something towards him, but after what happened last night and my talk with grandpa, don't get me wrong I'm still pissed at him for causing all this crap but that's why I'm gonna make him prove himself first!" I said to bra as she laughed.
"So you're gonna go to work looking like this?" She said pointing up and down as I stood up from the chair and smiled in the full size mirror. I just nodded in agreement.
"You my friend, are an evil little girl, there's no way my brother is gonna be able to keep his eyes let alone his hands off of you!" Bra said smiling bigger now, I knew she had an idea.
"I have an idea, but you have to play along ok?" She said as she turned me around, I just nodded.
"I will order a whole bunch of flowers again and have it sent to your office, with a little card. I don't know what I'm gonna write in it but I'll think of something good, and let's see if he gets as jealous and upset as back in high school. But to make it even better, you have to get him into your office and then I'll send the delivery man up." She said as we slowly made our way to the door.
"Are you sure bra? Isn't this pushing it a little too far?" I asked hesitantly
"Are you crazy? This is a lot less than what I was actually thinking, and you were the one who said you wanted him to prove that he honestly still had feelings for you?" She said as we shut our apartment door and closed it. I just nodded and made my way down the hall.
"By the way pan, you look hot! You're gonna make my brother run for him money!" She yelled to me as I blushed. I drove quickly to Capsule Corp and went in the building. I could feel every man in the building staring at me as I went to the elevator. I got in and took a deep breath, the elevator came to a stop at my floor. I walked out with my head held high and walked passed Mel behind the counter.
"Ms. Son?" She asked in disbelief
"Yes Mel, are there any messages for me?" I asked as I walked back to her desk. Her eyes were still open wide and in shock. I snapped my fingers in front of her face pulling her out of her trance.
"Um, yes, the department needs you to sign the last of the documents so you can get the cure out a.s.a.p? Doctor Central magazine wants to know if they can come in sometime and ask you some questions about the cure for their new magazine? Your dad called to ask if you wouldn't mind speaking at their next conference at the ending of this month? And there was a delivery made to your office this morning?"
"What?" I asked in disbelief as she nodded. I grabbed the sheet of messages and ran into my office. I opened the door and quickly closed it when I saw a small box on my desk with a single rose. What the heck was going on? I pulled out my cellphone and dialed for Bra.
"Moshi mosh?" Bra answered
"Um, bra? Did you make the delivery already?" I asked confused
"Um no, I was going to call them when I reached the office, why?" She asked confused
"Oh never mind, ok see yah!" I quickly said and hung up. I hesitantly walked over to my desk and circled the box like a vulture. There was a small note on the box, so I sat down in front of it and read it.
Go to lunch with me? -T-
Trunks made the delivery. I went to the intercom.
"Mel!" I asked confused
"Did Mr. Briefs come in my office this morning?" I asked again
"Yes, Ms. Son!" She answered my question
I hesitantly took the box and ripped it open, it was another little jewelry box, something I didn't want to see. I opened it and found the ring I had flown at him the day I came back, but he had made some rearrangements to it. The diamonds weren't its normal color but a beautiful light blue color. I looked around to make sure no one was watching and slipped it on to my finger. I began to admire it as the sun shining in the window caught it making light shows around my office.
"Ms. Son?" I was thrown out of my trance and almost jumped out of my skin.
"Yes?" I answered with a shaky voice
"Your father is on line 4?"
"Thank you!" I said as I picked up the phone and answered.
"Hi daddy!" I said with a smile
"Hey panny, did Mel give you my message?" He asked me
"Yes Daddy, I was just about to check my calendar to see when I'm free?" I said as I pulled out my calendar from my desk and began to flip through it.
"When is this conference?" I asked as I looked again through my calendar.
"I think it was Friday the 29th?
"Yah I'm free that day after 1:00, will that be alright daddy?" I asked as I wrote him in and put the calendar back in the desk.
"Yes, that's fine, thank you hun!"
"Anything for you daddy! Hey by the way what happened to Kage last night?" I asked amused
"Well we of course caught up with him, I got my turn and Goten too, then grandpa transported him to somewhere in the states!" My dad told me with excitement in his voice.
"Daddy, you guys didn't have to go and do that!" I said through my laughing fit
"Only for my daughter!" My dad answered
"Well dad I gotta make some phone calls so I'll see yah later, love yah bye!" I said as I hung up just as Mel came through the intercom.
"Ms. Son?"
"Yes?"
"Mr. Briefs wants to know if he can have a word with you?" she asked as my chest felt like it caved in. I quickly stood up and fixed my suit.
"Yes, send him in!" I said as I picked up my office phone and dialed for Bra's cellphone. Trunks walked in as I stood by the window on the phone, I saw his jaw and eyes drop as his eyes scanned my body. I smiled at him and turned back to the window.
"Bra Briefs?"
"Hey are we on?" I asked softly
"Oh is he in there right now?" She asked
"Yes!" I said a little louder
"OK mission in progress!" She said acting like a spy
"Thank you, bye!" I said and hung up. I looked at trunks and he was still staring at me.
"Um, Trunks your drooling?" I said pulling him out of his trance and getting him to pay attention.
"Oh sorry, um, that's a nice suit you got there?" He said as I blushed
"Thanks!" I said as I sat on the edge of my desk and smiled at him.
"Hey you're wearing my ring?" he said with a smile as I nodded.
"That's good!" I heard him say under his breath.
"So you wanted to talk to me?" I asked as he looked up to me.
"Um, I wanted to apologize about last night!" He said as I went to interrupt him, he put a hand up to stop me.
"Let me finish, I'm sorry, everything was my fault, you wouldn't have gotten your heartbroken last night if it wasn't for me breaking your heart in the first place. So I wanna start over? Will you go to lunch with me today?" He asked as I put on a serious face and turned towards the door.
"Sure, I guess! It's not like I have anything better to do!" I said rolling my eyes and making my way back to my chair. I sat down just as Mel called over the intercom.
"Ms. Son?" Trunks just smiled at me
"Yes?" I said acting confused
"There's a delivery here for you?" Mel said with a smile
"Um, ok send it in?" I said acting confused
"Did you order something?" Trunks asked me as I stood up
"NO, did you order something for me?" I asked sarcastically as I saw the worried look in his eyes. The door slowly opened and 3 men with carts came walking in. Trunks eyes grew 3 times larger as the men placed the flowers around the room and then passed me a card. I tried to act as confused as I could without laughing at his face. He looked like he was going to blow a casket. The men soon left as I walked over to my desk and sat down, pulling out the card from the envelope, by then Trunks was now reading over my shoulder at the letter in my hand.
Beautiful lady,
I hope we will meet again, properly so I may get to know you a little better! Don't waste your time on that bad excuse for a president and settled down with a real man! I will catch you later!
-B-
I wanted to break out in laughter as I read what Bra had written on the letter but I had to keep with the plan. I felt Trunks Ki rise as he ripped the note out of my hand.
"Who the heck is this?" He asked me as he read it again
"I have no idea, but the flowers were a sweet gesture!" I told him as I squeezed passed him and went to smell a set.
"I have to go!" He said as he took the note with him out of my office. When the door closed I ran to my phone and dialed for Bra.
"Bra Briefs?"
"Bra it's me, it so worked!" I said laughing
"I told you it would! Is that who I hear yelling in the hallway at Mel?" She asked as I began to hear him yelling.
"Hey I'll call you back!" I said as I hung up and went to put an ear to the door.
"Mel, next time pan gets a flower delivery or any kind of delivery on that, make sure that it goes through me first, for um, security reasons?" He said as he stormed off into his office, slamming the door. This plan was working perfectly.
"Ms. Son, Justin line 2?" Mel said over the intercom as I went to the phone and answered it.
"Yes Justin?" I answered
"Ms. Son, How many pills should we send to Yamamoto General this coming week?" he asked as I rolled my eyes, I lost track of how many time I had told him that number.
"Justin, for the 100th time its 2,550. If you ask me for that number again, your fired!" I said as I hung up and slammed my head on the desk. I looked at the clock that read 11:00, my lunch break was at 12:00 and I was going out with Trunks. Soon there was a knock at my door and Bra came bursting in.
"So how was it?" Bra asked as he made her way over to my desk and sat down
"Just ask you said, he fumed out and took off, by the way I can't believe you put all that in the letter!" I said breaking out in laughter.
"Well it had to be something that he would actually get mad about!" She said joining me laughing.
"Oh and he asked me out for lunch?" I said hesitantly as Bra stopped her laughing
"And you said what?" She asked
"I said sure, but don't worry I'm not gonna do anything, and I had a plan about it?" I said as I gave her an evil smirk
"What?"
"I'll tell him to go and eat at that Chinese restaurant down the road?" I said winking
"No, the one that Kage works at?" She asked with a smile
"Yah, that's the one? Hey why don't you and Goten come along so you can back me up when he asks me why we went there when I knew he worked there?" I said rolling my eyes.
"OK, I'll let goten know, but what's gonna be our excuse?" She asked as I put my pointer finger to my chin.
"We'll just say something along the lines of we thought he got fired, and that this was still our favorite restaurant!" I said as Bra smiled
"You're almost as evil as I am!" Bra said laughing.
"Ms. Son?" Mel asked over the intercom
"Sorry gotta take this, we leave at 12 ok?" I said as Bra waved bye to me
"Yes?"
"There's a man here for you?" Mel said hesitantly as I seemed confused.
"Who is it?" I asked
"He won't tell me his name!" Mel said
"Hold on, I'm on an important call right now, so have him wait in the waiting area!" I said hesitantly
"Yes Ms. Son!" I quickly dialed Bra's office
"Bra Briefs?"
"Bra there's a man in the waiting area that wants to speak to me, but he won't tell Mel his name. I have a feeling it's Kage!" I said quietly into the phone.
"WHAT? I'll go and check it out!" bra said hanging up.
I watched her through the fogged glass; she walked out into the hallway and down the hallway towards the waiting area. She stopped and I saw her eyes grow, I knew it was him. She pointed at him and started yelling as I saw him come out into the open that's when my heart broke.
