Looking Back
--
A voice on an intercom stated out loud that the workers should 'pick up the slack' and work, "The boss is coming in!" a male's voice snapped in frustration over the speakerphone.
A few minutes later four people arrived into the Kaiba Corporation. People turned from their 'hard work' and gasped. Seto walked swiftly to the elevator with Mokuba and Veronika walking behind, to his old office while Angel stopped to give autographs for the people who recognized her. After her last autograph, "To Kassandra, XOXO Angel Cicilly!" she went to the elevator.
--
A few minutes after giving them the tour of Kaiba Corps upper levels, they returned to his office to sit down, each couple had their own conversations until they were interrupted by a loud 'ding'! They all looked, up but Seto answered them dismissively, "It's the janitor, ignore him."
There was a chorus of three, "Oh" s. Mokuba and Veronika decided to run out and play some foosball. Leaving Angel and him alone.
Ignoring the janitor who started to sweep the polished floors, Angel continued talking about her up-coming show. "And, it'll be so cool. You're going to show up, right?"
"Of course." He replied giving her a quick kiss.
She smiled and pulled him closer, behind her the custodian could be heard making wretching sounds and muttering under his breath, "I didn't know when I got the job I'd be watching make-out sessions."
Seto glared at him, "Shut up, besides in your dreams you'll have a girlfriend like mine!"
Biting his lip, he didn't say anything further, he wiped his golden bangs out of his forehead, "Damn rich-boy..."
"WHAT did you say?"
"Nothing..."
Seto focused his blue eyes on the boys face, "MUTT?!"
"Hn! Took you long to notice." Joey replied bitterly.
"You know him?" Angel said in disgust.
Joey shot back at her, "Yeah, he knows me, but we're nothing like friends spoiled brat!"
"Ugh!" she said, "I'm going outside."
Seto didn't comment as she whipped her purse open and carelessly tossed two fifty dollar American bills at Joey, "And go buy some breath mints!"
Joey caught the bills and crushed them in his fist before hastily stuffing them in his pocket. "Kaiba what're you doing here?" ((Angel was now gone.))
"Visiting, wanted to see how things were doing. Thing is, what are you doing in my company?"
"Couldn't find a job elsewhere, dropped out of school..."
"I'm not surprised." He said coldly.
Joey bit his lip, he had to resort to this, anyways it might've worked. "So, uhm Kaiba I was wondering if you could help me? I haven't got enough money for college and..."
"You? Ha! Have you know idea the costs of college? If it's ten dollars you think you can't afford, try for about oh twenty-thousand!"
"Please..." he whined pitifully.
"Go back to cleaning!" he snapped at Joey, and walked out of the room, trench coat billowing out behind him.

Angel was talking to the children about her meeting with a 'mutt' and Mokuba pretended to care until Seto came in, "Seto, Joey was in there?"
Without waiting for an answer, he dashed into the office.
"Joey?" he asked kindly.
"Eh? Oh it's you kid, yeah hey."
"Angel told me what happened?"
"Some Angel eh?"
"Uh, yeah well she's just...herself. Listen, I know this won't be enough but..here." Mokuba pulled out a leather wallet and handed Joey ten bills, it's a part of my birthday money.
Joey counted the money with wide eyes, "Kid, if a thousand is part of your birthday money I'd hate to see what you get for Christmas, but thanks. You should go now, their all lookin' for ya I bet." He smiled and gave Mokuba a hug.
"Later!" Mokuba ran out the door again.
"Mokuba, we're going out for lunch ok?"
"Where to?" Angel asked.
"Fast food." He said.
"And what kind of people are going to be hanging out there?"
He considered her question before answering, "You know what? Honestly, I don't want to know."
