Last Chapter:
She stepped in the elevator and pressed floor seven. She waited until the door opened from floor to floor. A man untying his tie entered the elevator. He must have a problem properly wearing it. As Sakura looked up to him...
"Oh no, not again..." is all she has to say.

Chapter 4: The Finding
She was about to cover up her face when the man she dreads to see noticed her existence.
"Hey! Sakura, nice to see you... again" he said emphasizing the word 'again'. "What a coincidence meeting you here." He continued.
"Yeah, what an unlucky coincidence..." Sakura said dryly.
She looks at him and only did she realize that the business attire do looks good on him. She shook her head realizing she just praised him mentally. She only returns his smile with glares. Syaoran, on the other hand, is very amused of her reaction towards him. He could laugh as hard as he could but he decided to restrain himself for that wouldn't be good. The elevator opened as it reached floor seven. Sakura walked straight past him as if she never knew him. "I guess I'll see you around" Syaoran called out. She just ignored him.
"Idiot!" she muttered to herself.
She returned to her room and started her agenda: Find of ways to find Yukito. Hours passed and still, she hasn't got any clue of his whereabouts. She threw herself in bed. She just wants to sleep, if only for this day. Her gaze shifted to the phone in the end table. She's been battling with herself since an hour ago whether or not to call in Japan. Not that she wants to go home, she just wants to know how everybody's doing. Finally, after moments of thinking, she decided she should call. She dialed the number and the phone on the other line began to ring. Her hands are wet and she is shaking. She really is nervous of the consequences of this call, but she knows she needs to do this.
"Hello, Kinomoto residence" the voice on the other line greeted.
Sakura instantly recognized the voice. It was Touya's. "Hello, Touya, it's me Sakura"
"Oh my god! Where are you?" Touya rambled.
"I'm somewhere Touya, which you and our parents doesn't need to know."
"Do you know how much I'm worried of you?! Everyday of thinking that something might have happened to you is killing me!"
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I just need some space ok?"
"Thank God mom doesn't know about this or else... you might have given her a heart attack!"
Sakura stopped and it took a couple of seconds before she had processed what her brother just told her. "Wait, mom doesn't know about this?"
"Of course not, both mom and dad doesn't know about this. They went to a business trip the same evening you left. And because of that, I was left here alone worrying about you."
Sakura was lost of words. She doesn't know what to feel. Is she supposed to be happy that her parents doesn't know of her disappearance or is she supposed to be disappointed that her parents wouldn't know she needs her freedom?
"Sakura! Are you still there?"
She snapped back. "Yeah, alright Touya, thanks for the information. I love you"
"Hey! Wait a min..." she just hung up on him.
~- ~- ~- ~- ~- ~- ~-
Days have passed and still no clue of Yukito. She realized that her credit card would soon be empty. And because of this, she decided that once she finds a job, she would check out of the hotel and rent a small apartment.
"Excuse me, do you have a vacancy around here?"
"I'm sorry ma'am but we don't have. Please come back some other time."
Every time she inquires for job vacancies, the same words from employers were said to her. She now realizes why a lot of people are unemployed. All of a sudden, she felt the hardship in life she never felt her whole life. Despite the fact, that won't make her give up. That won't make her lose this fight.
She was thinking of a lot of things when she crossed the streets. She didn't notice the speeding car towards her. There was a certain flash and everything turned dark.
~- ~- ~- ~- ~- ~-
When she opened her eyes, she was in a bright colored room. Where could she be? She had no slightest clue of her whereabouts. This couldn't be the hospital, right? She knows what a hospital room looks like. Except if hospitals in Hong Kong really are different from that of Japan's, that would be a different case. The door opened and revealed a male figure...
"How are you feeling?" the concerned man asked her.
She feels she knows that voice. Could he be?... Sakura opened her eyes wide to recognize the person now in front of her. He has grayish hair, and those eyes... he has those eyes she would never forget. She burst out in tears and hugged the person.
"Yukito! I... I was looking all over for you. I'm glad I finally saw you." she said between her sobs.
Only did the man realize who the young girl in front of him is. "Sakura?". She only nodded.
"Oh my! I didn't recognize you. You are... a grown up woman."
Sakura released him and they both laughed.
"I am sorry for what happened a while ago. It was an accident. By the way, why are you here in Hong Kong? Does your parents know about this?" he asked.
"They do not know. I ran away from home. Yukito, please help me. I want to live my life. I want to feel the freedom I've wanted all my life!" she explained.
"Ok, calm down. I'll help you. Do you have a place to stay?"
Sakura shook her head. "I am staying for a while in a hotel"
"Alright, you can stay here with me since I'm all alone here in my apartment and plus I'll find you a job. Will that be alright for you?"
She smiled at him. "You'll never know how much I'm thankful. Thank you." And she hugged him once again.
~- ~- ~- ~- ~- ~-
She now lived with Yukito. He is very kind to her and helped her know things she needs to know living in Hong Kong.
Today, he would bring her to his office to meet his boss. It was a good news for her when she learned that the company where Yukito is working needs to hire a secretary. She dressed herself properly and applied a little make up to impress the boss. She faced the mirror and admired at herself. "Now is your time Sakura..." and smiled at herself.
"Sakura, hurry up" Yukito called.
"I'm coming" she replied.
~- ~- ~- ~- ~- ~-
She stood with Yukito in front of the CEO's office. She is now very nervous. All her life, being the daughter of a prominent man in the business world, she never thought that she would get real nervous when it come to this. She closed her eyes and told herself that she is no longer a Kinomoto. She is now Sakura Avalon, an ordinary woman looking for a job and is now waiting for her luck to be hired.
Yukito knocked at the door.
"Sir, It's me Yukito. I'm here with the applicant."
"Ok, come in."
The door opened and revealed a spacious office room. It was colored green all over. And the scenery from the large windows gave a serene atmosphere.
Sakura placed her brightest smile getting ready to meet the boss. The CEO turned his chair to face them. And much to Sakura's expectation...
...it was no other than, Syaoran Li.
Her heart fell. This couldn't be happening. Endless thoughts ran through her mind. How could this flirtatious idiot become a CEO? As far as she could remember, he doesn't even know how to do his tie properly. Oh no...
"You could go now Yukito. Thank you" he firmly ordered Yukito.
Sakura tightened her hold to Yukito as if asking not leave her side. But the effort didn't do much since he easily freed himself. He whispered "Good luck" and went away.
Sakura was left alone. She doesn't know what to do or what to say. Her mind is in a battle of whether she would run away from the office and never return again... ever. She is very embarrassed. This man who she just insulted a couple of times and this man who claimed to be her first kiss is in front of her, now not just a nobody but the CEO of a known company. She struggled for words to say, but nothing came out. She was about to try again by greeting him but instead, he spoke for her in a very manly voice.
"I could see you are a very quiet person, Ms. Avalon. But the business world doesn't need quiet people. We need people with great communication skills, do you by any chance know that?" he said while scanning her resume'.
His voice was very different. There was no sign of amusement or of any kind. It was like her father's tone of voice when he talks to employees. Hard. Her heart beat faster. Is she afraid? Of him?
"I'm sorry sir. Um... I'm Sakura Avalon and I am applying to be one of the company's secretary."
"I know that. Just what makes you think I'll hire you over those who are more qualified to be in the position?"
She was taken aback. How could he be so strict to her? Is this his way of revenge for her? Whatever it is, she will not lose.
"I believe that only few people have a heart for business and living all my life with it makes me have one. And that is what gives me an edge to get the position."
Sakura have no idea why she told him about that. What if he finds out about her? Right now, she just doesn't give a damn. She needs a job.
"What do you mean living all your life? You had a business like this?" Syaoran inquired pointing out their big company.
"No sir, but we had a small one, which we cannot compared to yours. Despite that, I believe that what I've learned through it is enough. But if you believe it isn't, then tell me for I would gladly accept it if you wouldn't hire me." Sakura retorted slowly raising her voice. She mentally added, 'arrogant'.
"Alright, in that case, I'll overlook your lack of experience and qualifications. You're hired." Syaoran said looking intensely at her.
Oh boy, she was surprised.
To be continued...
A/N: Oh well, so much for chapter 4. What do you think will happen next? How will their relationship work? Sorry for the slight delay, I really enjoyed your reviews. And anyway, I'm in grave need of an editor. My friend and I actually did this together, but since she left, I have to continue this alone. I'm afraid the grammar would be worse so please help me. Right here, please bear with my errors. English is not my first language and I'm still studying. So thank you for everything and continue to review and review. Luv yah all!
P.S. I need 30 reviews to continue... thanks.
