Notes:Hey peeps! Sorry I have taken so long to write this second chapter.
*ducks as a book is thrown at her* =o) I've just been working on my web page
which is very kawaii (in my opinion, though I think it may be a bit biased)The
addy is www.angelfire.com/va2/dreams. Take a peek, you'll find fan art, profiles,
fan fiction I have posted on ASMR and some I have not. Well enough of my chatter. Enjoy
"Oww that hurt, Rei," exclaimed Serena as she jerked away her foot
from Rei's grasp.
"Stop whining, meatball head!" grumbled Rei as she pulled yet another
glass sliver out of Serena's foot with a pair of tweezers. Serena winced.
"How can you call me meatball head, when I am not even wearing my hair like
that?" asked Serena with a smirk.
"You ok, Sere?" asked Mina.
"I am fine," she winced again as Rei pulled out another sliver.
"As long as Rei doesn't kill me first," added Serena.
"How could something like this happen, I don't remember seeing any
glass on the stage and I went right before you," said Avery.
"I don't know," said Serena with a frown. "Beryl was before her
remember? Because we had to switch because you couldn't get that dress on
in time," piped in Ami.
"Dinner is served! I am starving," exclaimed Lita as she entered
the room with her arms full of bags.
"Gee that's a big surprise," said Mina receiving a dirty look from
Lita.
"Let's see. A salad for Mina , a diet coke and chips for Rei, yogurt
for Ames, tofu for me, and a hamburger and French fries for Sere," said Lita
as she pulled out the food.
"I still can't see how you eat that stuff," said Mina as she wrinkled
up her nose at the tofu.
"Yeah it smells awful," piped up Serena.
"Not to mention how it looks," said Avery with a snicker.
"It is totally no fair how you can eat all that fattening stuff and stay
so tiny," said Mina as she looked longingly at the hamburger and fries.
"Serena's just a little piglet. Oink oink," snickered Rei good-naturedly.
"And Rei's a stubborn mule," commented Serena as she took a bite
of one her fries. There were snickers from all the girls around the table.
"Burnt," laughed Ami.
"I am gonna stuff those french fries down your throat!" said Rei
as she started tickling Serena who fell to the floor giggling. Rei stopped
suddenly as somebody cleared their throat.
"I hope I am not interrupting anything," said a very refined voice.
Rei looked up to see a gorgeous guy looking down at them. All the other girls
said nothing.
"No, Mr. Chiba, far from it actually," said the blonde on the floor.
Darien looked at her in surprise. Had he met her before? Surely not, he
would've remembered. The other girls sat at the table with their mouths
opened in shock.
"That's Mr. Chiba, the owner of Rose Fashions?" whispered Mina to
Ami. Ami nodded.
"Excuse me, have we met?" asked Darien with a frown.
"No, not face to face anyway. I was the one, who discussed the terms
of the merger for Setsuna over the phone," said Serena as she got up from
the floor and sat back down in one of the chairs. The voice suddenly clicked.
"Darien, what a surprise," purred Beryl who had sneaked into the group.
"Hello, Miss Emerald," said Darien coldly. "Miss Emerald is it? My,
you weren't half as formal a year ago," she purred in his ear. Darien said
nothing.
"Ah, I've seen you have already met my angels," said Setsuna with a
warm smile as she shook Darien's hand.
"No, actually I haven't," said Darien.
"Me either," piped up 4 voices behind him. Darien turned to see Jeremy,
Zack, Matthew, and Nick looking totally pathetic over the female models.
"Here let me introduce these guys who enjoyed your fashion show
immensely," said Darien. He motioned to each one as he said their name,
"Jeremy, Zack, Nick and Matthew." The others greeted them warmly. The girls
were going gaga also over the guys except the blonde, wearing sunglasses, who
was simply sipping on a soda.
"This is Rei, Mina, Ami, Catsy, Lita, Avery and Serena," introduced
Setsuna. "Would you like a tour?" asked Mina to the guys. All 4 guys nodded.
"How about you, Mr. Chiba?" asked Rei.
"No thank you," he said simply. The others shrugged and left. Setsuna
looked at Beryl with a frown. "Don't you have somewhere to be?" she asked. Beryl looked
hatefully at Setsuna, spun on her heel, and walked off angrily.
"How is your foot?" asked Darien lowly. "Pretty good, Mr. Chiba,"
said Serena.
"You saw that I assume?" asked Setsuna softly.
"Yes, do you have any idea how the glass might have gotten there?" asked Darien.
"No, but I am looking into it," said Setsuna. Serena sat quietly and munched
on her hamburger. Darien just couldn't resist and smiled. Never in his life, had
he seen someone just sit during a business meeting eating a hamburger.
"I assure you those things usually don't happen around here," said
Setsuna who had caught Darien watching Serena. So maybe he wasn't as cold
as all the entertainment magazines that surrounded the elite of fashion said he was.
"I assumed it was an accident," said Darien simply. Ringing pierced the
silence that had momentarily settled over the three. Setsuna pulled out her cell phone.
"Excuse me, while I am talking why don't you show Dev to Mr. Chiba?" asked
Setsuna as she walked away talking.
"Who may I ask is Dev?" asked Darien. Serena grinned as she got up from her
chair.
"Not who, what," corrected Serena as she walked into an office.
The office was decorated with blue wallpaper with white flowers and vines that
intertwined. A computer was on a mahogany desk. In the windowsill was filled with
tiny white roses. Serena sat down in the chair.
"Pull up a chair, Mr. Chiba," commanded Serena. Darien did as he
was told.
Serena put on a set of headphones that had a small microphone that was
near her mouth.
"Wake up Dev, I have someone I want to introduce you too," said
Serena as she typed a password on the computer.
"So how long have you been working here?" asked Darien as the
computer warmed up. "She's been here for 5 years, 29 days, 6 hours, 12
minutes," came a female voice.
"Thank you Dev. She's just showing off. I've worked her 1 and a
half years as a model and the rest as a secretary, public manager, and just
about any thing else they want me to do," said Serena.
"Was that the computer?" asked Darien in shock.
"Yes, as I said she was showing off. Dev, this is Mr. Chiba," said
Serena. "That's amazing!" said Darien still in shock.
"That's nothing. Give me the stats," said Serena.
"Black hair, blue eyes, 6'2, 25 years old..." started Dev.
"Dev, on the fashion show," interrupted Serena. Darien looked over at her.
She was blushing. She looked very business-like in a pair of black slacks,
and white turtleneck. Around her neck was a gold crescent moon necklace.
Her hair was french braided down her back.
"There was a 60 percent increase on the sales of Inner Designs.
91% increase on the orders on the new line of clothes," said Dev.
"So why is she named Dev?" asked Darien.
"It short for 3 of her titles, Digital Electronic Voice. She has
about 6 other titles," said Serena.
"He's impressed," said Dev. "Well I am not, Why don't you be good
and print out the results of the fashion show. One Br and two pr," said
Serena as she entered the commands into the computer. "Br and pr? What's
that?" asked Darien.
"Ah I see Setsuna's little angel is showing off that dumb computer,"
said Beryl who entered the room.
"I didn't hear you knock, its usually customary to knock before
entering someone's office," said Serena in a low tone. Darien could feel
the friction between the two. The printing of the documents was the only
sound in the room. "I'll show you what pr and br means," said Beryl as
she pulled the newly printed papers.
"This is Pr. Regular print in other words," said Beryl and Darien
looked over the printed page. He was impressed; Dev did a good job.
"This is Br for Serena," said Beryl as she ripped the piece of paper
that had just barely finished printing. Darien glanced at the paper.
"There's nothing on it," he said. Beryl was up to something. He
knew it.
"Its Braille, pathetic isn't it?" asked Beryl as she handed Darien
the document. "That's a good idea to have some things in Braille, isn't
there a law that has tells companies they have to have Braille up?" asked Darien.
"The disability act of 1990," spoke up Dev.
"Thank you Dev" said Serena still keeping a low tone of voice.
"He doesn't know, does he? Oh this is too much!" exclaimed Beryl and
started laughing. "Know what?" asked Darien confused.
"She is as blind as a bat and you didn't know it!" laughed Beryl.
"He knows now, now don't you have someone else to entertain since
you've done such a bad job here," said Serena simply. Beryl stopped
laughing and glared at Serena.
"Watch out Serena or you will live to regret those words," said
Beryl as she stormed out. Serena winced, as the door slammed shut.
"Well that was interesting, her blood pressure raise 2 1/2 points.
If she keeps up she is likely to have a heart attack at age 49," said Dev.
Darien looked at Serena. She was clutching the side of her desk and her
knuckles were white from the pressure. She was taking deep breaths.
"I am sorry about that," said Serena breaking the awkward silence.
"Don't be. She wasn't lying?" asked Darien not sure what to say.
To his surprise, Serena smiled.
"Nope, she was telling the truth," said Serena as she took off her
sunglasses. Beautiful light blue eyes stared sightlessly at him.
"You can do the hand wave in front of my face if you want to,"
said Serena. Darien did yet her eyes didn't move toward his motions. She
put her sunglasses back on. "You don't' act like a blind person," said
Darien rather bluntly.
"And you don't act anything at all like what the newspapers describe
you," said Serena with a smile.
"You read newspapers?" asked Darien. Even as the words left his
mouth he was cursing himself for saying it. He knew what the newspapers
said about him and hardly any of it was to in his favor. "In Braille, you
have a lot to learn Mr. Chiba," said Serena.
"Call me Darien, Miss Tskino," said Darien with a smile.
"You can call me Serena, Mr... I mean Darien," said Serena. Neither
one knew that the other was going to be a shinning light in their lonely worlds.
