Last Chapter:
"Before I continue, I would like you to meet the Vice CEO of the Kinomoto Insurance Company, Ms. Sakura Kinomoto" And Sakura nodded to them and smiled. Her smile faded when she found the mysteriously handsome man looking directly at her. More likely, he was smirking at her.
'Damn it! Why is he smirking? What could he possibly be thinking while looking at me?' Sakura mentally asked. Unfortunately, she doesn't need anyone to answer her question. She knows it and she doesn't like the answer.

Chapter 3: Arguments
"I'll wrap the meeting for now... Gentlemen, let me know your decisions soon" Touya finished.
And everybody exited the conference room... almost everybody, that is. Touya left the room the moment the meeting ended because he still have to attend a certain convention Sakura didn't bother ask what about. Sakura was left for a while to arrange a couple of things. It would have been easier to accomplish her deeds if there were no certain amber-eyed guy watching her. Unfortunately for her there is... and that bothered her.
'Damn! This is the last thing I need... being left alone in this room together with him!' Sakura thought as she fumbles on the documents.
There was silence for quite a while until she felt the presence towering her. Sakura closed her eyes trying to think for a reasonable thing to do at the moment. More likely, plans to escape this awkward encounter. Finally the silence was broken when the man finally spoke up.
"So, it was nice finally meeting you, Ms. Sakura Kinomoto" the man said emphasizing her name very clearly. Since they never knew each other's names, it's the first time they were properly introduced.
Sakura's head jerked up to look at him. And at the very instance... there it was, the same powerful attraction she felt the first time she saw him. It must have taken her some time staring at him because he coughed to get her attention.
"Oh! I... I'm glad to meet you too Mr. Li" she spoke as civil as she could. Sakura hoped that her effort in hiding her disturbance was effective.
The man chuckled and offered his hand for a shake. Sakura was hesitant at first, but was obliged... after all, he's one important man in their business.
When their hands touched, Sakura instantly felt the spark. To her surprise, instead of a shake, he pulled her towards him and kissed her in the cheek.
Almost immediately did Sakura jerked away from him and slapped him. She's really outrage by the fact that this man has the guts to show his face to her after a month and kiss her just like that.
"What the heck was that for?!" Syaoran complained.
"What was that for?! The nerve of you to ask me that! Why did you just kiss me?!" Sakura shouted.
Syaoran rubbed his cheek to lessen the pain 'Damn! This woman slaps real hard!' he thought. "What are you complaining about? That was just a friendly kiss... you know, between two people who know each other really well..."
Sakura just stared at him containing her anger 'Friendly kiss huh?!'. Before she could speak, Syaoran looked at her and continued "Besides... it's written all over your face, you liked it! So why complain?"
That's it. Whatever it was that was holding Sakura from exploding finally snapped. "The nerve of you! I did not like it... you... you bastard!"
Syaoran held her from strangling him to death. "Hey, calm down... I was just joking around"
"This is no joking matter mister... whatever happened between us a month ago was nothing to me. You were just ordinary guy who incidentally passed by me that night. If that was any other guy, it could have been him I did it with. So don't ever think we're close alright?! We are not friends or anything! So don't act like one..." Sakura rambled out of anger.
Her emotions blinded her capability to think straight and because of that, she told him things, which are not fully true. Of course it's not true that she'll sleep with any other guy, that's not just her. But having sex with any man without exception, even if it was Syaoran isn't her as well, right? So, why did she do it? Maybe there was something in him that pulled her towards him. That night, she felt that she's being cared for and that she's safe when she's with him. There was this certain feeling not even Sakura can describe.
Syaoran just listened to her as she spoke those hurtful words to him. It startled him because he's not actually hurt about what she said, he was in fact amused. If it could have been any other woman who spoke those words to him, it could have been a disaster. But hey, this is Sakura Kinomoto, and the fact that he sees through her eyes makes him sure that what she said isn't actually true. For the sake of enjoying this little conversation with her, he decided to play a game. He would annoy her.
Syaoran made a face as if he was hurt and sat at the edge of the table. "That was very frank of you, never considering my feelings...But anyway, I agree with you one way or another. We're not friends... we're lovers"
"You jerk! You never give up do you?"
Syaoran smirked. "You know what? You're wasting your beautiful mouth in throwing such insults. A mouth such as yours should be used for more enjoyable purposes..." And he finished his sentence with a smacking sound to indicate that the purpose he's referring to is kissing.
Sakura's eyes grew big and began to cover her ears. "Shut up! You inconsiderate idiot!"
"Now who's inconsiderate? Who was the one throwing insults, it's you right? I should be the one pissed off at you right now. You, on the other hand, should feel fluttered with the compliments I give you."
"Ha! You call that a compliment? Let me tell you, it's the worst compliment I've ever heard in my entire life"
"Really? Then I should practice more... How about I try it on you?"
Sakura let out a heavy breath to calm herself. "You better go Mr. Li, You're wasting both our time"
Syaoran let out a chuckle. "I have a lot of time you know..."
"And I don't"
"Then I'll make time for you"
Sakura laughed. "What? Are you crazy?"
"Finally, I made you laugh... I'm glad" Syaoran smiled, a genuine one.
For that particular moment, time stopped. Sakura just can't believe how her whole mind and body is reacting to his smile. It was then that their conversation turned serious. Syaoran grabbed her arm.
"Sakura... god, it's feels good to say your name. We need to talk."
Sakura's body felt weak at the touch of his hands in her arm. "But... we're... um... already talking, right?"
"No, what I mean is... about that night." Syaoran looked in her emerald eyes. He felt like drowning in her eyes. 'Say something, before I lose all my control' Syaoran thought.
'Why does he have to bring that up? Now what am I going to say? Didn't I already told him it was nothing to me?'. So much as Sakura wants to look in his eyes, she was afraid he'd see through her. She began shifting her eyes to different directions.
"You know what? Um... we, I think... we should just forget about it and act in a more business like manner."
Syaoran's grip suddenly tightened and it began to hurt her. He seems furious, and it scared her. "What did you say?!"
"Hey! You're hurting me... let go! I said, let's forget about it, didn't you hear me?"
Then Syaoran let go of her. "I heard you, but I can't believe you'd say that!"
"Let's not talk about this anymore... I'm leaving" And with that, Sakura gathered all her things and began to leave the room.
"Alright, you escaped this one... but don't expect it'll end here" he called out.
"Say whatever you want!" Sakura shouted back. And she left the tension filled room.
Syaoran who was left inside brushed his hair with his fingers. He smiled to himself. 'I'll make you realize that there's attraction between us and that we want each other, if that's the last thing I do'. And he went on his way.
To be continued...

A/N: How was it? Good or bad? Even I, can't wait about what Syaoran will do to make her realize she wants him...
