Kaiba sighed "Mokuba get the door," he yelled at his younger brother. Mokuba rushed to answer it. Oppening the door he saw a young red headed girl standing on the front steps. "Can I help you?" he asked eyeing her curiously.
Oh my he reminds me so of Brandin. "My name is Tigone Mantenya and I was hopping I might be able to speak to Mr. Seto Kaiba," Tigone answered. Mokuba stood a little taller as he said "Anything you can say to him you can say to me he is my big brother."
Tigone smiled. "Ok you take me to him and I promise you can stay in the room while I speak to him will that suffice?" Mokuba thought for a moment, "I guess so, follow me," Tigone stepped through the door and was instantly taken back by what she saw its so big and well……..big following Mokuba up a long flight off marble stairs Tigone listened to the sound of her high heals click on the stone and tried to take in just the size of the place she had never seen anything so big before.
"In here," Mokuba said bringing her out of her reverie. "Can I help you?" Kaiba said looking up from the stack of papers on his desk. Tigone looked around the room was very plain one wooden desk and two chairs on opposite sides the only thing other than paper on the desk was a lamp. "Um….well my name is Tigone Mantenya and I was um just hoping maybe you might be able to well give me a job." Tigone answered not looking at Kaiba.
Kaiba laughed slightly, "Do you have any qualifications?" Tigone answered him still not looking at him. "I can clean and I am good at keeping track of things." Kaiba smirked "We don't need a maid Mokuba has everything under control. I don't think we are in need of your services."
Tigone put her bandaged hand on the desk, "Please I really need this you wouldn't even have to pay me just give me a place to stay food and clothing. I'll do my work. I promise."
I am intrigued by her persistence I wonder how she got such an injury what is her story "Tell me Miss. Mantenya how did you hurt your hand? Does it have something to do with why you need the money." Tigone look at the floor her eyes filling up with tears. She let it all out she told him about the fire, about how hard it had been going on after losing it all, for some unknown reason she even told him of how Malik had followed her. Everything pored out like a water from a broken damn. All the pain of resent events was lifted from her chest she could breath without regret. And somewhere deep in Kaiba's heart of ice, a spark was lit and some of the ice melted away.
She has lost it all, has nothing to her name but an inheritance that will never take away what she has lost. Money in the bank she can't even use. She lost her parents her brother and still she has some how found the will to live. I admire that I my self could never make it with out Mokuba. Kaiba stood up and walked to the other side of the desk as Tigone finished her story and concentrated on the floor letting the tears stream down. "Miss Tigone I'll tell you what I'll do. You are going to be my personal maid you will take care of serving drinks to business associates and clean select rooms. I expect you to where a uniform Mokuba will provide and you'll have a salary of 500 yen."
Tigone couldn't believe it she looked at his boots studying them for a long time before looking up into his face those eyes blue as ice, so cold. "Thank you so much," was all she could say.
"Mokuba will take you to your room, you will dine with us dinners are formal. Mokuba will provide you with a dress. Oh yes I will give you this weeks money so you might buy some clothes. Tomorrow Mokuba will show you around and give you some orders ok,"
Tigone nodded. Mokuba stood up and beckoned for her to follow him. Tigone turned back in the door waystudding him He so different from anyone I have ever met before Shemet his eyes and held his gazes I don't think I will ever get used to those eyes. So without warmth. They make me cold." "Thank you again," she said before turning around and following Mokuba through the door.
