In My Dreams-Ch 10

I didn't want things to turn out this way.

I really didn't.

I didn't mean to push him---well, at least myself out the window too. I had only wanted to hurt him---badly that is. When I lost my footing and fell out the window, I thought my life was over.

But Seto---I no longer call him 'psycho' nor 'bastard' anymore---he saved me. Saved me in anyway a girl could've been saved.

Just before my body hit the hard cement floor, he wrapped his arms around me, protected my head and my neck. He shielded me with his. When we hit the ground, we rolled several times before we came to a stop. He grunted as he wrapped his arms tighter around me. We laid there; I could hear footsteps at a distance. I couldn't move at that time for my body was sore all over.

I ended off with a twisted ankle and a bleeding elbow, and that was because he protected me. He on the other hand---

I couldn't stand looking at him right now. It would be too painful. I tried to bottle it inside but couldn't. I was like a balloon, under excess pressure, like I am going go explode any moment.. That was exactly what I was feeling now.

I tried to hold it in, now was not the time. I need to be strong.

But it was too hard---

I burst out laughing.

Seto narrowed his eyes and looked at me for a moment before continuing to look at the scenery outside of the car. We were on our way to Kaiba Corp.

At that time, people came running out of the house. Lucky for us, we landed on the awning before we hit the ground. One of the maid, I presumed called the doctor. The doctor arrived no long after, when he saw us; he looked at me before turning to see Seto. Then he just burst out laughing.

He continued to laugh as he wrapped bandages around Seto's arms and legs, just then I was starting to wonder whether he cared about his patient, aka Seto Kaiba, or not. He didn't exactly look like someone anyone would depend on. However, his laughing didn't seem to impede him from his work. At last he finished wrapping Seto's head. He picked up his bag, and started to treat my wounds.

I flinched as he put antiseptic on my elbow. That was the time when I took a good look at him. The doctor was only in his early twenties, I didn't know exactly how old he would be since men can look younger than he actually was. Not that I had no ability whatsoever in differentiating how old someone actually was. He looked like an Egyptian since he had dark skin and wore gold bracelets. His silver hair made him looked handsome. The glasses he wore made him looked like he was some highly educated royalty.

In summary, he didn't look like a doctor to me at all. He took a bow before he got out of the door. There was another one of those weird people on my list. What was his name? Marik.

I snapped out of my thought as the car rolled to a stop. When we got out of the car, there were people standing on two sides, leaving the middle empty. I felt like as if I was some famous Hollywood star that was about to walk on the red carpet. Even though there were none. People bowed as he pasted one of those weird Japanese etiquettes, they were always so full of manners. However, from time to time, I could hear a few workers gasping and a few of them looking dumbfounded at Seto.

It seemed that no one had seen Seto wounded and late before. Guess they did now.

Seto didn't even bother looking at them; he walked into the building and went into the empty elevator that was waiting for him. I slipped into the elevator quickly before it closed.

We reached the top floor; it was the same floor which Mokuba had led me to yesterday. I recognized the counter and the two entrances right away. He walked past the once busy working area. It was new empty, probably because everyone was still waiting at the main floor. I just couldn't understand why anyone would still do that anymore. It was a waste of time and energy. If I were the CEO, I would've never---. I gave a sigh, what was I thinking, I was only a secretary. Who cared about what Seto does to his company, it wasn't as if I were the one paying the wages.

Seto opened the door to his office, stepping aside, I soon followed. He walked over to his desk, picking up the phone, he dialled some numbers, "you can come up now."

I could only watch him as I didn't know what I was supposed to do. After all, I had never been a secretary before. I've worked, but only as a bartender. Even so, during the time when I was in high school, I had done some office work as I was in the Accounting Career Preparation Program. It was suppose to allow you to gain some experiences in the field of business through volunteering. It sounded convincing, after all, no one would want to hire you if you had no experience in working. Therefore, I joined, thinking that I would gain something valuable. I ended up feeling like I was cheated.

Why? The company probably wanted cheap labour, I worked for nothing and I had to pay for transportation. I wanted to join Co-op in college but then I realized that I would never be able to support my living expenses. I didn't want to go and ask my step-parents for money. It wasn't because they wouldn't lend their money to me; hell, they've even made it clear that they would give me money, with no strings attached. However, it just felt wrong. I walked off without a degree.

Nowadays, even if you were a bachelor, it would mean nothing since the other person who is competing with you have a master degree. The company, of course, would then hire the other person who had a higher qualification than you. That was how the world works; it was no longer about your ability to learn, but a piece of paper saying that you've successfully finished a degree. Many people seemed to forget that even though people may not be doing well in school, they may be able to do the job well.

As I was thinking, I heard a knock on the door before someone opened door. A chubby man, in his late forties walked in. He was dressed in a black suit with a red tie. His shiny black shoes clicked as he walked toward Seto. He said as he bowed, "Mr. Kaiba."

Seto nodded in response, motioning toward me, he said, "she will be my new secretary from now on. Take her to her place and I want her to know what responsibilities does she has. Also, I want her to be somewhat familiar with the company by the end of the day."

The chubby man said a firm yes before leading me out the door. This was the first even that changed my life forever. I would never be the same "Elle" again. However, at that time, all I could think of was how to make the death of Seto Kaiba look like an accident---

**********************

The chubby man, who called himself Wilson, had already led me to my office. Although I was Seto's secretary, I had a room. That's what so good about working for a big company, I didn't have to sit outside of Seto Kaiba's office, I got my very own room.

My room was pretty empty, it wasn't as big as Seto's but it was large enough. My desk was made of wood. It seemed that Seto preferred to keep his cool high-tech looking glass desk to himself. Fine be that way. My desk was placed in the far back of the room, with my back facing the large window that was extended to all sides of the back wall and my face facing the door. I had several large lateral file cabinets placed on my left. Since the slide cover was closed, I couldn't tell whether there were any files in it.

The Wilson man came back in again, holding a large pile of files. My god! My eyes widened. It couldn't be---

SLAM!

I blinked and I blinked again. I stammered, "What are these." I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I looked up and his face was practically blocked by the file!

"These", he said, "are the records of the customers of Kaiba Corp for the last ten years. Kaiba Corp is an electronic company. Not only did it develop the technology for duellists, it also makes products for common people to use, like cell phones and television. Therefore, it is important for you to know what kind of customers and associates we have so when you see one of our main clients, you will know automatically what products or deals they are looking for."

I raised my hands.

"Can I not read this?" I questioned.

"No." With that, he walked out of the door. Well damn him.

I wanted to beat up someone but it was not up to me to make that decision anymore. I couldn't be that way anymore. I was getting paid, I had to do something right? After all, what was better than to do a simple task like reading? Even though it was dull, it was better than doing other complicated stuff right? Right? I was trying to lie to myself at this moment, please don't interrupt.

I sighed, as I began flipping through the files. This was going to be a long day.
