It's been long. Isn't it? Well I finished this chap a long time ago but couldn't have the time to post it. School works are also getting on my nerves. I hope you guys understand.
This chapter is a little short considering the fact that I haven't updated for the past three weeks. But I hane already wrote the next chapter so next update will be in four or five days.
Thanks for the reviews for the last chapters. They all are appreciated from the bottom of my heart.
Made For Each Other:-
Chapter 20:- The lion's den.
"Misaki~ tell us what happened?"
"Nothing happened!" Misaki shouted. Why couldn't she just drop it? Sakura was constantly bugging her to tell what happened during their small trip to the beach.
"Then why are you blushing so hard?" Chiyo said flatly.
"Eh?!" Misaki gulped and tried to control her blushing but no use. "Um…we had a lot of fun-"
"What kind of fun?" Chiyo cut her off, showing her a sly grin, causing Misaki to blush harder.
"N-No. L-let's see… we played at the beach, built castles, did fireworks and we also had a cooking competition but that's all"
"I bet you are hiding all the romantic parts." Sakura concluded, looking disappointed.
"What are you guys talking about?"
All three girls looked at the direction where the voice came. "Hinata?" all three of them said in unison.
"Yep!" he said cheerfully as he sat beside them. "So, what were you all talking about?"
All three of them looked at each other and then Chiyo opened her mouth, "Uh…we were talking about, um… about our upcoming test." She said and the other two nodded.
"Oh. Hey, do you know, what happened?" he asked with enthusiasm.
"What happened?" Sakura sounded pretty excited too.
"Yesterday I was watching an interview, Guess who it was?"
"Who?" three of them asked.
"Takumi Walker!"
"What?!" three of them said, astonished as they didn't have any idea about the interview.
"Yes, it was his first live interview. He even said which type of girl he likes."
"What! Who?" three of them again said, astonished.
"He said he likes girl who have raven hair and big amber eyes. She has to be sweet but scary at the same time, caring but violent too. That's a weird combination. Isn't it?"
Sakura and Chiyo grinned as they eyed Misaki, "Yes, indeed." Misaki's suddenly felt out of place and blushed a little understanding the meaning behind his words. "Ah… look my class is going to start soon." She said and ran towards her class.
"Something has definitely happened." Sakura and Chiyo said together.
'Damn, that idiot. He is such a jerk, yes a jerk.' As she proceeds to her classroom, she continued to curse her idiotic husband mentally.
"Miss Ayuzawa" this voice made her stop and turn around to see a middle aged man standing there.
"Hello sir" she said and bowed.
"Come to my office. I have something to talk with you." He said sternly and went to his office leaving her dumbfounded.
'Have I done something? The principle (of the university) asked me to meet him. She stopped for a moment, 'No, I haven't.' She concluded and went to the principal's office.
She knocked on the door and went in.
"Sit." He ordered.
Misaki just did what she was told. "Well, you still are teaching the kinder-garden class, right?" he started.
Misaki nodded and said, "Yes, I am now on leave now but I will join after the festival."
The principle nodded and opened his drawer. She saw him pulling out something. After he was finished he looked at her and said, "I am giving you a task. You have to invite the principle of the school to our festival. Will you be able to do it?"
Misaki smiled and heaved a sigh of relief as she was really worried. "Yes, sir I will be able to do it."
The principle also smiled at her and handed her the invitation cards. Misaki checked the card and saw there were two cards there, "Um…sir, there's two cards here."
"Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you, you have to invite Mr. Walker too. You know he is helping us build a hospital here, so he is very important and as I can remember, the last time he visited he saved you. So you owe him one. So, I thought you would be perfect for this task and besides, you are our best student." he explained while looking at the papers in front of him. He looked up, "Do you have any problems with it?"
"No Sir, but where can I meet him."
"At the Walker corporation building. But go to the kinder-garden first and then go there afterwards . Leave now, I am giving you permission to go and put the invitation in his hand and not anyone else's."
'Let me see…the first thing I saw after getting up was that bastard's face. That's why the day isn't going well'
"Okay."
Misaki was standing in front of the Hakuo Kinder-garden campus. She sure missed that place a lot. A small smile came to her face as she went in. It was their lunch break, so everybody was playing or eating their lunch together. There was so much noise. She missed that noise.
As she walked, in memories from some months ago came to her. She never would have thought that life will change this much. "Friend." She heard a voice and looked down to find one of her student.
Misaki smiled and sat down, "Hi"
His smile brightened and he shouted, "Hey, look who's here." catching everybody's attention. All the kids looked at her, all their smile widened and they all came running at her. Some hugged her, some even cried, some said, how they missed her, some said what happened after she left. Misaki just smiled all the time and patiently listened to what they all told her. She patted their heads and said that she will back at school soon and their reactions were priceless.
She stood back up and greeted all the teachers. Every time she would come across a student, he or she would tell her everything she missed during her absence and it made her smile every time. It took her 1 hour to go to the principal's office when other times it only takes 10 minutes maximum.
She knocked on the door. "Come in" came a stern voice. Misaki smiled as she remembered on her first day exactly same thing happened. She opened the door and went in, "Good morning, sir."
He looked up, "Ah, Ayuzawa-san no I mean Mrs. Walker, long time no see. Please take a seat"
Misaki sighed and sat on the chair opposite to him, "Sir, please don't call me that, I am fine by what you called me back then"
The principal laughed and said, "When I heard all the chaos, I presumed that you were here. Took you long enough."
Misaki smiled and nodded, "Sir, I came to invite you in the University Festival."
"Oh…I see." He said and took the card from her. "Please do come."
"I will. So, when are you going to join."
"Right after the festival." She said and stood. They shook hands and he said, "I will be waiting, I look forward to that day." Misaki chuckled, "I do too."
She came out and heard a small whisper saying, "Mommy"
She turned and saw her two precious angels standing there. "What are you doing here?" they asked.
Misaki sat on her knee and answered, "I am here to invite someone to our school."
Taichi thought for a moment, "Will you stay here?" he asked.
Misaki slowly shook her head, "No I have to go somewhere else." She kissed their foreheads before waving and started her journey to her next destination.
'So, next is the lion's den.'
She sighed for the millionth time. She was standing in front the Walker Corp building, but couldn't go in. Maybe because she was nervous meeting him or maybe because of the 20 floored building's outlook which caused her eyes to widen. She shook her head to clear her thoughts, some people were eyeing her suspiciously. Who wouldn't? She was standing there for the last 30 minutes and was watching the building.
As she entered, her jaw dropped. It was…it was like some five star hotel, besides the fact that everyone was busy talking to people, taking calls or typing in computers.
She swallowed and went to the reception. She noticed there was one lady there. She approached her, "Um… Can I meet with the CEO?" The lady looked up, surprised, after all not everyday someone comes and wants to meet with the CEO.
"Excuse me?" she asked, doubting that what she heard that correctly.
"I-I want to meet with the CEO." Misaki repeated. The lady blinked, "Do you have an appointment, miss?" she asked.
Misaki shook her head. The receptionist smiled at her and said, "Then, I am sorry. He is busy and doesn't have the time to visit anyone" and then she went back typing something.
"Actually it's very urgent and I have to meet him. I am from Hakuo University and I am here to invite him in our festival"
The lady looked up, "You can give it to me. I will hand it to him later."
"I am sorry, but I have orders."
The lady sighed and called someone and said something. She cut the call and said, "You can proceed. Go straight and then turn left, take elevator and go to the top floor. There you will find his secretary and personal assistant. Talk to them and see if they can let you enter without an appointment. "
"Thanks" said Misaki and did what she was told. But a thing surprised her that she couldn't find any left turns.
'Did she tell me wrong directions. No I guess, not. I should try asking someone.'
She noticed some one was coming towards her direction with an envelope in his hand, so she tried asking him, "Excuse me, do you know where the elevator is?"
The said person looked at her and eyed her before smiling, "Go straight then turn left."
"More straight?" those words left her mouth before she could understand them herself.
The other person laughed after hearing her question, "Yes, more straight. This building is bigger than it looks." He stopped a moment before continuing, "May I ask where you are going, Miss?"
"I am going to the CEO's office." She answered like it was the most obvious thing.
"Are you a terrorist?"
"What! No!"
"Then, do you have an appointment?"
"No."
The mans mouth dropped, "Then, how are you going to meet him? Do have permission to enter."
"Um…yeah, the lady in the reception said to talk with his secretary if they can allow me in."
The man raised one eyebrow and chuckled, "Then, best of luck."
"Thanks."
Just when she was going to start walking, the other person opened his mouth, "Beware of his secretary."
She turned, "What?"
The man just smiled, "You will know soon." And he went on his way, leaving Misaki dumbfounded.
'I get it, everyone who works here is weird.'
She continued walking after a moment she saw the elevator and a sigh escaped through her lips. She waited in front of it and after some time the door opened to reveal a person standing inside it. She hesitantly got in and said top floor.
The other person in the elevator turned and eyed her suspiciously. "What did you say?" he asked.
"Top floor."
"Do you, who's floor that is?"
"The CEO's, I guess."
"Do you work here?"
"No"
"Do you have an appointment?"
'Again that question.'
"No"
"Then what are you doing here?"
'He is so rude'
"I am here to invite him in our festival. I am student of Hakuo."
"Do you have the permission to go up."
"Yes, the receptionist said it."
"Okay." He said and finally pressed the top floor button and the door of the elevator closed before it started going up. After 10 minutes the door opened and Misaki's eyes widened. Takumi's floor was way more beautiful than the lobby. Before she left the elevator she heard him say, "Take a right turn and you will find his secretary."
Misaki smiled at him and bowed before she went on her way to the secretary desk. She noticed that there was a lady there writing something on a notebook as well as in a computer. She was beautiful.
Misaki approached her and asked, "Can I meet with the CEO?"
"No." she said flatly. She didn't bothered to look at her.
"Excuse me?"
She looked up with a bored expression, "I said you can't go in."
"But why?"
"Because I said so."
'She is getting on my nerves.' She thought but kept her cool, "Excuse me miss, but I have a invitation card for him."
"What? Invitation to go in your room?"
'WHAT THE HELL?'
"N-No, why would I do that? And besides I am here to invite him to the Hakuo Festival."
"Leave the invitation here. I will hand it to him later. I can't let you enter without an appointment."
"I have orders to hand it only to him." She said a little louder than the other times. That lady was getting on her nerves.
The secretary raised her head, "How dare you talk to me like that?"
"I am sorry but you are insulting me."
"Me? Insulting you? I just said he does not have the time to meet someone like you?!" she said, annoyance was evident in her voice.
Misaki sighed and fought hard not to yell and kept her cool, "But you didn't even ask him."
"Are you trying to tell me how to do my job?"
"N-No, why would I do that?"
"Then, leave whatever invitation you have and get lost. I know people like you, always running after people with money."
Now, Misaki was annoyed truly annoyed. How could someone insult her like that when she hasn't done anything, but she decided not to say anything because she couldn't say she was actually his wife. She turned but bumped into someone.
"May I ask who you are?" he asked causing her to look up to meet with someone about her age. Misaki looked at him and answered, "I was here to talk with the CEO."
"Then why are you going back?" He asked politely.
'Because she told me so.' She thought but answered, "I don't have an appointment with him."
"Well, can I ask why you wanted to meet him?"
"She had an invitation for him." The other lady answered, in her place. 'Wow! Her personality changed.' Misaki thought.
"Oh! Then you should give it to him yourself." He said, "By the way I am Kanou Shoutaro, personal assistant of Usui Takumi Walker. Well, he is in his office right now, you can meet with him."
"Okay. By the way I am a Hakuo University student. My name is Misaki Ayuzawa."
Kanou smiled, "Please, follow me."
He started walking and Misaki followed him. She heard the other lady murmured, "Go, you commoner but I am going to be his wife soon."
Misaki turned and shouted, "Best of luck!" before she continued to follow Kanou.
"I have to say, you have a lot of guts." Kanou said while walking.
"Huh?" She asked confused.
"She is known for her mean talking, not everyone can talk to her like that."
"Yeah, she was getting on my nerves. I think she is fortunate that I didn't lose my cool."
Kanou laughed but stopped immediately when he noticed she was emitting some kind of black aura behind him. He flinched a little and turned, "D-Don't t-take her w-words seriously."
Misaki looked at him and asked, "Does she have some kind of crush on the CEO."
Kanou thought for a moment before answering, "Doesn't everyone here? I mean they all work hard to get his attention but it's all in vein. That's kind of person he is, always strict and bossy but also dependable."
Misaki agreed with him, after all he is always dependable but before she could reply, they were already in the front of his door.
Kanou knocked on the door, saying, "Sir, someone's here to give you an invitation. Should I send her in?"
Misaki heard a voice saying, "Yes, send her in."
Kanou slowly opened the door and Misaki could already feel her heart racing. 'Oh! Stupid heart, stop racing!' she thought.
