"so what did you want boss?" asked minoo
"well, i wanted to talk to you guys about the budget cut"
*groans*
"i dont' want to cut your salaries.. and i can't just stop our orders... so i was wondering if you guys wanted to work just a little more than usual... so we can go out and advertise show little samples that we have here.. "
"sounds good to me...it is better than getting our salaries cut"miri

"okay. so how shall we do this?" asked sakura
"hmm i was thinking how about we sell some of our merchandise outside the store.. like on a nice day. go out and have an outside sale. greet people.. " suggested minoo
"hmm sounds good to me... but instead of any sale we should have like a little contest or something.. not like anyother sales" advised sunhee
"that is better... but we can't go over our limit i have set... and i m not sure how we will set up the contest..."
"i know... in one of the make up boxes we can put a you win thing.. and if you get that ticket you get to have a certain amount of money for our gift certificate..."
"so its kinda like get one. get the second one free..."
"yeah.. i am starting to like it... but not enough excitement... "
"yes i know.. what can we do to make it more exciting... I KNOW" minoo exclaimed
"what?"
"we can let them date sakura.."
"WHAT?! NOOO!! "
"oh come on.. if the guys buy our products too we can make twice as much money.."
"by why me?"
"because you are the prettiest sakura" sunhee replied...
"and the girls can date me.."minoo
"uhhuh like any girl would want to date you minoo..."
"hey be nice"
"okay.. so me and minoo will be the 'wanted dates' sooo how will that work... "
"hmm you guys can take them out for dinner.. than to the movies or something.. than leave.."
"sounds good enough to me... just a typical date.."
"ok.. so when should we make this little thing of ours?"
"can you guys go tell the others taht.. and i'll figure out the date..."
"okay boss"
"bye.."
and they went off the work.. the other two said it was a great idea...
"hey you guys.. can you take care of the store for the rest of the day? i have to go somewhere today.."
"where boss lady?"
"umm i'm going to model for my friend..:"
"OO you mean the one daidouji tomoyo? her clothes are soo kawaii" miri exclaimed.
"yeah.. her... "
"i guess since it is for someone famous we can let you go" minoo said acting as if he was the boss
"oh thank you great minoo. bye.. if i get off early i'll come and help out"
"hehe. okay boss. bye"
"good luck" her other employees/friends shouted as she left the building...
sakura rushed down the sidewalk to her car... she was running late.. (somethings never change *sigh*) she drove as quickly as she could to the hotel where tomoyo was having her fashion show.
"tomoyo!" sakura cried out trying to get her attention
"sakura!! here's the dress you have to try and after you get on that you go to minhee(girls name) to get your hair and makeup down.. i'll call you when you have to go on stage.."tomoyo said trailing off and yelling at a guy who was doing nothing to help.
"okay..."
she pu ton her dress. It was a pink spagetti strap that went down to her knees showing off her slender legs. it had a thin white lace on the bottom of her dress and on the top front... wearing white sandles, a denim jean jacket she quickly made it over to her minhee.
"well don't you look cute ... now close you eyes from me... " minhee said as sakura made her way there.
minhee put on sakura's light pink eyeshadow. mascara. and added a little bit of lip gloss on her eyelids and lips to give it a sparkly touch. she tied her hair loosely with a white ribbion
"SAKURA!!" tomoyo shouted.
sakura quickly made it over there.
"okay. you know what to do right? breath sakura.. don't get nervous" tomoyo said trying to make herself feel better by telling someone else not to get nervous..
"i know.. i know.. oh and tomoyo i think you are the one who should be breathing" sakura said quickly and left before tomoyo could yell at her...
she walked out on the stage.and she did her thing... everyone was amazed how sakura had looked. they all wondered why she wasn't in all the magazines, why there was no pictures of her in tomoyo's clothes or any other brand name clothes.. they also awed at tomoyo's unique style to get something so simple and make it casual and beautiful looking..
when sakura came back, she saw tomoyo yelling out the next person's name. sakura giggled as she saw how stressed tomoyo looked. but after the last model went. all the model's came back out welcoming their designer TOMOYO... and after all the clapping they all went back in.
"tomoyo that was great!"sakura
"thanks.. but it was soo tiring."
"hehe. at least it was a big success"
"yeah.."
"oh. i have to go... have fun!!" sakura said as she saw all the people going after tomoyo to ask her if they could buy her clothes to sell in their department store or whatever.
sakura noticed she had an hour left before the store closed so she decided to go and help them close up.
"hey you guys!! how was buisness today?" sakura said cheerfully but than she noticed how gloomy and said they looked...
"what's wrong? did something happen when i was gone?"
"yeah.. um sakura.. the company owner came here today to speak to you.. and since you weren't here... he said he wouldn't help us in any way, saying that our manger was irresponsible leaving us here... and stuff like that" minoo said softly
"but. minoo you are the 2nd in command..."
"i told him that... than he started asking all these company questions that i didn't know the answer to because we didn't have this weeks 'how is the company going?' talk..." minoo replied sadly
sakur a was stunned.. she thought today was going to be a good day, they found out good ways to earn more money, tomoyo's fashion show went great, and all of a sudden this. they had lost the money to help their store...
"you guys...*sniffle* i'm so sorry.." sakura said breaking down into tears..
"its okay sakura.. you were helping out your best friend... any ways we still are holding up and today's profit went up." miri said trying to cheer up sakura
" plus that guy was totally unfair.. he wouldn't let any of us talk ... and he even wouldn't let me explain where you were" minoo exclaimed
"hehe..."
"that's better.. this is the boss that we know..."sunhee said
"thanks you guys... plus we can still be a well maintained store because you guys are the best" sakura said getting back her cheerfulness
"yup. that's right!"juwon said proudly
"hehehe... "
"now how about we all go and eat something... it's on me" minoo said
"still hungry i presume?" sakura remarked
"who wouldn't be?" minoo replied everyone laughed afterwards...
sakura called tomoyo telling her that she would eat out tonight.. and than her fellow friends told her that they wanted tomoyo to come to so sakura told tomoyo to come to the restraunt they were at to celebrate...
"no wonder sakura loves her work... you guys are so much fun" tomoyo remarked
"ah bon? sakura talks about us? did she tell you how great looking i was" minoo replied making sakura playfully hit him on the arm.
"yes i think she did.. if i recalled..."tomoyo started as sakura hit tomoyo on the arm
"i think its so kewl to meet the famous daidouji tomoyo.. your clothes are soo cute.. " sunhee commented..
"thanks.. but i couldn't have done it without sakura."
"and why is that?"
"all our childhood years she was my model for my creations and she still is... and no matter how ugly the clothes looked sakura made it look marvelous"
"sure...tomoyo.. "
"but you did!!"
"hey boss why didn't you tell us you modeled for ms. daidouji?" juwon asked
"please call me tomoyo"
"alright tomoyo.."
"i did.. after i hired all you.. the first thing i assigned to you was to look over EVERYONE'S resumes...." sakura answered
"looks like someone didn't do their homework" miri remarked
"uhhh i did it .. i just don't remember"
"ssuuuuuuuurre" sunhee said
they finished their dinner and talked some more and thanked minoo for the dinner...
**syaoran's place**
syaoran couldn't get the picture of the girl out he met in the morning out of his mind..
"ARGH...why can't i get that girl out of my mind.. i'm here to work NOT to fall in love again...i wonder how eriol, tomoyo, sakura and the rest are doing... maybe i should call them... *sigh* or maybe i should get some rest... today was a hard day..."
he decided catch some shut eye and thought about the girl next door...
**sakura's place**
tomoyo went right to sleep while sakura kinda lingered...
" 'that guy next door is hot... gosh damn it sakura... oh well. at least my store isn't in the dumps like all the others.. but we did lose probably our only chance for gettin money.. *sigh* but that guy next door is so kawaii.. maybe i should give him a chance.. if he likes me... gaw i can't believe my friends are going to make me date during that sale day.. which i think i'll make it the first of next month.. that should be a good day.. ..'"
sakura's mind lingered off onto the boy again and fell asleep...
