Chapter II: The dreaded Sunday
Kaiba sat in his office it was almost 8:00PM, " Where is that stupid girl I told her to be here at 8 sharp." He drummed his fingers against his hard wood desk, glaring at his watch every few minutes with hard looking eyes.
Nikko at that moment was just stepping out of the taxi that she took from the airport, she was at the airport saying goodbye to her sister before she left. Nikko looked at her watch with a worried looked, "Oh my God!!! I am so late, I know I'm late for most things but this is too important to be late for. Why must this always be a bad habit for me?" She rushed into the building and ran to the information desk.
The secretary at the desk was typing not even noticing what's going on with the world, until Nikko ran up to her desk and blurted out, "What floor is Kaiba Seto's office?" The secretary jumped at that, then calmed down. The secretary glared at her very angry at the fact that she scared her, "Do you have an appointment?"
Nikko looking very much out of breath replied, "Yes, I do."
The secretary just shuffled some papers together and said, "He's on the 22 floor, just go down the hallway and turn to you left and ask the secretary their to see him." She then went back to her typing.
Nikko then raced to the elevator at the moment she got the information, but when she got to the elevator it was jammed pack with other workers and she had to squeeze her way in. Nikko then got a nervous feeling in her stomach it seemed to take forever for the elevator to get there, it made stops on every floor, and most of the time it just gathered new passengers squishing her more. Nikko could hardly breath when finally she couldn't take it anymore she just wanted everyone to get out of there, so she shouted, "BOMB!!!! I see a bomb!! AHH!"
Everyone else at that moment freaked out and rushed out of the elevator as fast as they can. When everyone was out Nikko pressed a button to close the elevator, she leaned back on the wall and sighed, "I know it was a bit corny and all but their was no other way." She then laughed at the thought while the door opened on the 22nd floor, she step out and made her way.
Nikko was standing at the secretary's desk and asked her with full intent in her eyes, "I have an appointment with Kaiba Seto, my name is Matahiro Nikko."
The secretary then looked down at the schedule on her desk to find Nikko's name, "Oh yes go right in." She lifted her hand and pointed at the door.
Kaiba looked again at his watch it was 15 minutes passed 8, "I'm not waiting for that wretched girl any longer. I'm deleting her files and refuse to fix her car anymore; I'm also going to have that girl pulled from the paper. I'll show her that no one messes with Kaiba Seto's time!!" He got up from his chair and marched towards the door turning the knob. At the moment he opened the door a person flashed by him and shot out his arm catching this person before they fell.
Nikko was opening the door when she felt a jolt and the door snapping open more quickly before she could maintain her balance. She started to fall forward, she closed her eyes waiting to fall face first into the floor but she didn't, and when she realized that she snapped open her eyes and found herself in someone's arms.
She looked up at the person who caught her and found Kaiba's face staring right before her. He stared at her with a disconcerting look, he help her stand up and stated, "Your very late you know that I disapprove of lateness, I will remind you to be more on time for the next time." He walked over to his desk and sat down.
Nikko just blushed for a moment being embarrassed by what just happed. She then set her glasses straight and fixed her gaze on him letting him know she means business, "I was seeing my sister off before she left, and since I don't have a car, I-"
She was cut off by Kaiba's voice. "I don't care for you feeble excuses you still should have been here on time. Next time I won't be as light. Now lets get down to the details." He handed her a couple of file folders. "I will be briefing you tomorrow on this and I at least expect to you read the first folder by tomorrow." He said with a voice that made him sound like he wasn't really taking to her.
Nikko then gasps and said, "By tomorrow? I have school and the paper, you know that." Nikko was then overcome with worry and doubt.
Kaiba just stared like he didn't give a care, "You will be at least finished reading the first folder, I don't want to talk to you at all until you know almost everything, it would be useless for me to explain it all to you. We will start everything after school tomorrow."
Nikko then felt frustration and shouted back, "I have the newspaper meetings after school, on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Since I'm the editor I have to be there!! It's my commitment! You of all people should know about commitments!!"
Kaiba then lowed his head as in defeat; Nikko looked at him surprised that her words finally reached him, "Ok then well do it over lunches and after your meeting, but that means we might have to work late. Just because you have prior commitment's doesn't mean that you should take this any less seriously, I expect more than your best!"
Nikko then smiled and was so relived at the fact, that she hugs Kaiba not realizing what she was doing. Kaiba was shocked at the fact she hug them and pushed her away, as in defence.
Nikko then realized what she did and lowered her head and apologized, "I'm so sorry, I was just so happy, I thought I had to give up the paper. It means so much to me."
Kaiba then spoke softly and replied, "That's ok, but I don't want anything like that happing again. Remember you can't show that type of emotions when you in business, and you must learn that if you are going to walk into that meeting with me on Friday, or else everyone their will rip you apart." He then walked over to his desk, grabbed a folder, and made his way towards the door. He then turned around and looked at Nikko, "Are you not coming? Come I'll give you a ride, or do you prefer if I lock you in and you stay here all night." A smirk made it's way upon his face at the thought of locking her in.
Nikko then shot a stubborn look at him, "Oh no your not locking me in!" She made her way out the door and charged down the hall.
Kaiba locked the door and walked down the hall after her and went into the elevator with her. While they were in the elevator Kaiba wondered why there was no one in it, because usually it's packed. They stepped out of the elevator on the first floor, when a worker went up it Kaiba and said, "You took the elevator sir? I heard that there was a fake bomb scare in that elevator. We don't know who did it." The worker then left leaving Kaiba wondering what he meant.
Kaiba mumbled to himself, "I didn't hear anything about a bomb scare?" He looked over at Nikko and asked her, "Did you hear of a bomb scare?"
Nikko then smiled maliciously, "I maybe slightly suggested it. There just was too many people in the elevator, I thought I was going to die!" She then laughed and continued to walk.
Kaiba smiled a hidden smile and said to himself, "Clever girl too bad she can't be my assistant for more than a week, she would surely smarten everyone up here. "He then stepped out of the building with Nikko and walked into the limo.
Nikko stared out of the window ashamed at the fact for be late, but she wondered why. She had never once in her life felt awful for being late, everyone expected it from her, and she was used to it, 'Why is it so different this time', she thought. Kaiba was looking at her while Nikko stared into space. He wondered why he was so kind so her when she was late normally he would yell at the person and ask them to leave for the rest of the day, he always believed strongly that being on time was a very important thing. 'Why? Why is it different with her? She admitted to pulling the bomb scare, I should be furious at her for putting the company at risk like that. I don't know, this girl amuses me.' he though while he grinned.
Nikko looked at him and wondered what was the grin for, was he trying to taunt her? He then shifted his glaze away from her. Nikko spoke, "I'm very sorry again for being late. It's just that I'm always late."
"Stupid excuse! Theirs no reason on Earth for you to be late, I just expect you to be on time tomorrow for when we discuss things over lunch. I also hope that you are not one of those girls who like to waste their time with useless chatter!" he replied without looking at her.
"No I'm not. I can be shy at times I guess. I usually just sit and listen while my friends talk." Nikko looked out the window and saw her house. "This is my stop, and I guess I'll see you tomorrow Kaiba. Goodnight." Kaiba didn't say anything as she got out of the limo.
Nikko made her way to her house, as the limo left, and walked into the house. Her mother saw her come in and questioned her; "It took you that long to drop off you sister at the airport?"
Nikko then realized that she hasn't told her parents about anything, "I-I went over to a friends house and we did homework. See?" She lifted up the files to prove that she did something.
Her father then threw her another question, "Where's your car Nikko? I don't see it anywhere in the driveway." Her fathers lifted his brow as if challenging her to answer it.
Nikko hesitated for a moment and thought up a good excuse, "I got some scratches on the car and I'm having the paint fixed. I also decided to get a maintenance check just in case I needed to replace or to repair anything. Don't worry about anything! I got my friend to drive me home." She added in the last part just to make sure her parent's stop asking her any questions.
Her mother's faced brighten up, "Oh that's good you are making friends! I was getting so worried; about you spending all your time cooped up in your room on the computer, I was beginning to wonder. I'm happy that you are adjusting ok" She left the room and went into the kitchen.
Her father was still sitting in the room and as her got up from the chair he replied, "It's good that you are taking good care of your car. You are very responsible, I'm very happy." He went up to her and kissed her on the forehead and went upstairs.
Nikko sighed as she fell in to the chair, "I can't believe that I lied to them! Well I couldn't say, 'Hay mom, dad, I got into a car crash with the head of Kaiba Corp. It's ok he will pay for the damages as long I do a favor for him, I just have to be his personal assistant, nothing bad. It's only for the week, so after that everything's going to be back to normal again!' Oh yeah they'll go for that!" She brushed her hair away from her face, "They'll probably think I'm someone that can be bought off easily, and I just wish I'd never gotten into that accident, especially with Kaiba Seto. I just stared going to Domino High and already I'm in a jam!" She got up and went upstairs towards her room.
She got into bed took out the folders and started to read them when, she said, "Waiting for this week to be over will be like waiting for an eternity to end." She looked at the page and started to read it realizing it would take her probably half the night to read it, but she didn't care she just didn't wanted to look stupid in front of Kaiba tomorrow.
