DISCLAIMER: NARUTO DOESN'T BELONG TO ME. IF IT DID, DANZO WOULDN'T EXIST AND SASUKE WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT THE VILLAGE.

When the head of Uchiha Corps, Fugaku Uchiha contacted Sakura she lready had her own set of suspicions. It wasn't that he was,by any means, rude. The fact that he loathed extra conversations was a proof enough for Sakura to get an idea that something was wrong. She arrived at his office at 11.00 a.m. No sooner did she go outside his office door than Itachi Uchiha, the elder son of Fugaku Uchiha and the legal heir of the company before he transferred the ownership to his younger son.

Itachi Uchiha was probably one of the most respected persons shehad the privilege of knowing.

"Ah, good morning, Ms Haruno. I assume you have come here to meet my father. I"ll see you later. Have a nice day."

"Good morning to you too Mr Uchiha. Have a nice day."

She was about to knock the office door when the door flew open and Fugaku ushered her inside and made her sit on the chair opposite to the desk. She already started feeling anxious and prayed that he didn't call her to fire her. As much as she remembered, she could not recall a time when she had offended the elder Uchiha. Meanwhile, the said elder Uchiha sat on his office chair with an impassive expression on his somber face. He initiated the conversation which was something that shocked Sakura and increased her anxiousness.

"So Ms Haruno, as you have seen, I have called you to have a private conversation"

"Yes, sir."

"Ms Haruno, I have a favour to ask from you. This decision will exclusively be yours. You have been my secretary for long enough for me to trust you. Ms Haruno, what I am going to tell you is very important."

This did nothing to decrease her anxiety at all.

"Yes, sir"

"As you know I have two sons and my younger son, Sasuke has been named to be the future owner of this company after Itachi left. But in order to become the rightful owner, the Board has demanded that he be married." Sakura had a look of confusion on her face thinking what she has a part in it. Fugaku continued, "As much as I dislike saying but I must. Sasuke is a business major at 24, the same age of you. He has no one in his mind to court and has no qualms to allow me to sleect a bride. Miss Haruno, iI will be eternally grateful to you if you marry my s son"

The look of horror and surprise was quite evident on Sakura's face.

"But sir, I have never met your son before."

"Yes I know. I want you to meet him tomorrow. I will give you his address. Please Miss Haruno. If not for me, please agree for the company."

For the first time in her life serving him, she saw the expression of pleading on his face and decided that maybe it wouldn't be too bad.

"Okay Mr Uchiha, I accept."

Sakura smiled at him and noticed the look of pleasure on his face.

'"Thank you Miss Haruno. I am grateful to you."

Sakura left the room after she was provided with the address of the younger Uchiha. She was supposed to meet him near a park the following day.
