Thursday

Madoka packed all the necessities in one bag, and she was all set to go. She packed her makeup kit, six outfits, and three pairs of shoes. She had a backup for everything, incase anything fails to please her.

She reached her office right on time, and checked the final details in her cabin, when she and her boss were all set to go. She packed the important documents she was supposed to carry with her in her laptop bag.

"Ready?" Kyoya fixed his black tie that complimented the white shirt he was wearing, and advanced towards the brunette, who was wearing a light pink dress shirt with a pair of black pants.

"Yes sir." Madoka nodded like an army officer, and was all set to go.

"I'll get the car. Get a cup of coffee for me, and come to the parking lot immediately." Kyoya ordered, and left to get his car.

While pouring in coffee, Madoka heard a familiar voice from behind, "One last cup of coffee before you leave?"

She turned her head to check for the source of the voice and found Gingka already holding a cup.

"I'm leaving. Wish me luck!" Madoka took in a deep breath.

"All the best, Madoka. Do your best and make good decisions, after all, you deserve this spot!" Gingka gave her thumbs up and winked at her, leaving Madoka in astonishment.

"Thanks, I will", was all Madoka could manage to say since she was in a hurry, but she sure was surprised at Gingka's kind words.

She quickly rushed down to the parking lot and got inside the gigantic black car. Kyoya was seated at the back seat, with Madoka now seated beside him, while the driver drove the car to the airport.

"Do you have all the important documents with you?" Kyoya asked.

"Yes sir." Madoka replied while checking her laptop bag once again. She didn't want to disappoint her boss, so she made sure she had all the important papers with her.

"Have you been to Australia before?" Kyoya started a conversation.

"No sir." Madoka shook her head.

"Kyoya. Sir seems way too formal." Kyoya smirked.

"Is this not a formal business trip?" Madoka joked.

"Call me sir when we're on a meeting, otherwise, Kyoya it is." He explained.

"I'll try." Madoka winked.

Did I just wink at him? Are you in your senses Madoka? Even if you are not required to act like he is your boss, but he is your boss! Now he must be thinking I'm a flirty jerk!

She immediately averted her gaze, feeling ever to embarrass at her sudden uncalled for move. But thankfully for her, Kyoya didn't seem to mind it.

"What product should we develop under our joint venture? Would you like to share any ideas?" Kyoya changed the topic.

"How about we design a magazine featuring our company?" Madoka suggested.

"That's actually a very good idea. I was thinking about negotiating with Dynamis and then deciding on what to develop, but you actually initiated a brilliant idea." He appreciated the brunette's innovative mind.

"Thank you sir, I mean, Kyoya." Madoka giggled softly.

"That's more like it." Kyoya smirked at her.

Both Kyoya and Madoka boarded their luggage and made their way towards the airplane.

Once seated, Madoka took the window seat, while Kyoya sat down beside her. They travelled overseas, and the distance was pretty long, but they made small conversations in between to keep each other entertained.

"Are you comfortable?" Kyoya asked for almost the tenth time.

"Yes I am. I'm not afraid of flights, until we are landing." Madoka laughed nervously. Landing was always the worst part for her. She remembered when she was travelling with her dad, and how her ears started to hurt while they were landing.

"I'll keep you distracted when we're landing. You won't even know when it will be over." Kyoya affirmed.

He is such a gentleman.

Soon, they had lunch served in flight. Madoka listened to some music, while Kyoya read the newspaper.

Kyoya asked Madoka to take down her earphones and started a small talk. "How have you and Gingka been now? Ryuga told me that you two are good friends."

"Ryuga? How does he know?" Madoka furrowed her eyebrows.

Kyoya nudged his shoulders, "Beats me. Maybe Gingka talks about you."

"I'm sure he tells his boss how we always meet at the coffee place." Madoka laughed at the weird coincidences they always have.

"That may be a possibility." Kyoya showed full interest in the conversation.

"As for Gingka, his behavior has changed, thankfully. He acts more mature and generous now." Madoka smiled, thinking about how Gingka has been around her lately.

"That's good. But don't get too ahead of yourself." Kyoya humbly warned her.

"What do you mea-" Madoka immediately stopped talking when the plane trembled a little.

"We're landing, aren't we!?" She panicked, when Kyoya nodded, trying to make her stay calm.

Without thinking anything, and without any hesitation, Madoka took Kyoya's hand and grabbed it hard. She didn't care about what Kyoya would think of her, or what others would comprehend looking at them. All she cared about was the landing process at the moment. To her, it felt like forever, a never ending travel.

Kyoya grabbed her hand firmly in return. He didn't expect her to grab his hand all of a sudden, but he knew how people react in situations like these, so he thought it would be best to stay silent, and let the passenger go with the flow.

Madoka had her eyes shut from the moment she realized they were landing. She did recognize Kyoya's grip getting strong around her hand, but it was the least of her concerns at the moment.

After a few minutes, the plane slowly came to a halt. Madoka breathed in deeply, and gazed outside the window. "It has stopped! We have finally landed!" Madoka cheered, earning some chuckles from other passengers.

Kyoya gave her a reassuring sign that they have landed safely.

One by one, the passengers started to get off their seats and took their luggage out from the top.

"Um, Madoka, you can let go of my hand now." Kyoya smirked and laughed at her at the same time.

This caused Madoka to blush real hard in embarrassment, "I'm so sorry," she immediately let go of his hand.

His grip sure was comforting though.

They both got up to get their luggage, and got off the plane.

Ordering a taxi, they drove off to the hotel allocated.

"You made that Gingka based conversation to make sure I'm not focusing on landing, right?" Madoka smiled at the older lad.

"Pretty much." Kyoya nodded.

"That was super nice of you. Thanks!" Madoka was impressed with Kyoya all in all. She would admit that he had impressed her since the day she started working for him. He was Kyoya Tategami after all.

Kyoya smiled at the brunette.

When they reached the hotel they had booked, they got off the car, and made their way inside. It was the finest hotel in Sydney, with a five star rating.

"Wow. This is huge." Madoka gasped in awe, looking around the huge building. It looked no less than a palace.

Making their way towards the reception, Kyoya asked for their room keys.

"I'm sorry sir, but one of the rooms you have booked is out of order. You'll have to share one room for today." The receptionist claimed.

"What!?" Kyoya and Madoka burst out in unison.

"Yesterday, the room was on set fire while the staff was cleaning it, so it is under maintenance right now. We'll surely get it fixed by tomorrow. We are really sorry for the inconvenience sir, but you'll have to cooperate with us today. But as compensation, we offer you free food from the buffet." The receptionist explained.

"Let's see what we can do." Kyoya was riling up, but he inhaled in, in order to keep himself composed.
