Chapter 3
NEXT DAY
"Sakura… Sakura…" a voice called her in her dreams. Sakura slowly opened her eyes and saw Tomoyo looking at her and calling her. "Wow, I thought it was just a dream that someone was calling me" she whispered in a sleepy voice.
Tomoyo smiled, she was already wearing her business suit. "I think you should get up, take a bath and change your clothes. We need to hurry up coz Syaoran hates waiting" she ordered as if she was her daughter.
"Whatever" she whispered as she got up from her bed. "I think you should wait for me downstairs in the living area" she replied specifically. She walked towards her bathroom and started taking a bath then changed her clothes into white tee and jeans. She sat on her dresser and combed her hair then tied it in a ponytail. She put a light make-up on her beautiful face. Then she gets her shoulder bag and put her cell phone and her wallet inside. She saw a car key on the dresser. "My car" she muttered. She immediately put inside and ran to the living area of the mansion.
Tomoyo was sitting on the couch waiting for Sakura patiently. She saw Sakura walked towards her and smiled at her. "Oh, you are beautiful even you are wearing casual clothes!" she complimented.
She smiled at her. "Thank you. Tomoyo can you tell me where my car is?" she asked.
"Sure, I thought you forget about that" she said standing up.
"Actually I almost forgot about that if I didn't saw the key on the dresser" she replied as she walked out from the living area. She walked towards the parking lot of the mansion and looked around.
Tomoyo followed her to the parking lot. "Well, I think you should press your car-alarm code" she suggested.
"Ooppss… I forgot that!" she said as she gets the key from her bag and punched it.
A black SUV automatically opened behind them. Sakura turned to look at her car then she frowned when she saw an SUV in front of her.
Tomoyo saw Sakura frowning. "Why are you frowning? Don't you like your car?" she asked.
"Just that? An SUV?" she yelled.
"Why? I thought you want to have a normal life? SUV is for normal peoples! And if your car is Jaguar or Mercedes people will get confuse! You are working as a secretary in a company and your car is that! Gosh, Sakura please think!" Tomoyo explained.
"You have a point but… fine!" she said as she got inside and started the engine. "Are you going to ride with me?" she asked.
"Sure" Tomoyo got inside with a smile on her face. "Let's go"
After an hour, they were now in front of the building. She parked the car beside a silver Jaguar. They both got out then Sakura pressed the alarm then her car automatically locked. "Let's go" she said. They both got inside and went to Tomoyo's office.
"Why are we here? I thought we are going to that Syaoran guy?" Sakura asked sitting on the couch.
"I'll call him first" she replied as she gets the receiver and dialed a number. "Syaoran? Uh… you are secretary I was telling you last day, she is here… Okay, we are going there… Bye!" then Tomoyo put back the receiver on its place. Then she looked up at Sakura. "We are going" she announced.
Sakura nodded and stood up from the couch. "Come on" she said as she got out from the office.
Tomoyo followed her and they walked to the left direction and stopped on a white close door. "Here"
"I thought the office is so far" she whispered as Tomoyo's knocked on the door. She heard someone said 'Come in' then they both got inside the office.
An amber eyes man with messy chestnut hair looked up at them, 'He is so handsome and also cute' Sakura thought.
Tomoyo kissed him on the cheeks. "Syaoran, she is Sakura Kinomoto, my best friend and also my cousin" Tomoyo introduced.
"I've heard of that surname… Anyway, I am Syaoran Li" he looked at Sakura. "It seems like she didn't know any works even house chores. Anyway, can I look at her resume? " he said sarcastically.
Tomoyo shook her head. "You don't need to look at her resume" she said.
Sakura looked at Tomoyo then to Syaoran. "Wait, Li? Don't you know—never mind" she asked.
The two of them looked at her and shook their heads "Well, Tomoyo can't you get someone?" he asked looking at some paper works.
"Shut up, Sakura is a responsible woman. I know that she will be a good secretary" she defended.
"Fine, Kinomoto you are going to start today. Your job is answering phone calls asked their names, typing files, doing things I order, that's all" he announced making Tomoyo and Sakura smiled.
"Is that all, Mr. Li?" Sakura asked formally.
"And I don't like my secretary asking me" he added making Tomoyo glared at her. "Tomoyo you can go" he said.
Tomoyo nodded. "Fine, Sakura call me if Syaoran do something bad at you, clear?" she replied looking at Sakura.
"Sure" she replied with a smile.
"Kinomoto, your desk is right outside my office" he added.
"Whatever" she whispered. "Give me the files that I should type" she said.
He looked up at her. "Are you dictating me?" he asked.
"You told me that you don't like your secretary asking you" she replied sarcastically. 'Gosh, I hate you!' she yelled in her thoughts.
He shook his head and gets ten folders on his desk and gave it Sakura. "There, mail it around 3 o'clock in the afternoon that documents are so important so if you didn't mail that, I will fire you!" he said.
She glared at him and gets the folders then got out. She saw her desk and immediately put it on the top of it. It was complete, a computer, phone, intercom and other things. She sat on the swivel chair and turned on the computer. She gets one folder off the pile and started typing it. "I can't believe Tomoyo lied to me! She told me that he is nice and sweet guy but he is so… never mind. Well, I am so happy that he didn't know my real status in life" she murmured while typing.
Tomoyo poked her head on the door and saw Sakura typing quietly on her place. She smiled and got inside her office, she looked at Eriol. "She is working in her place" she said.
"She should because if she isn't working I bet that Syaoran will immediately fire her even she is your best friend" he replied.
"Hey, why are thinking that?" she asked pouting.
Eriol shook his head while laughing. "Just kidding" he replied as he gave Tomoyo a kiss on the lips. "Aren't you attending your meetings?" he asked.
"I almost forgot!" she yelled as she get her things and ran out from the office.
He smiled at his girlfriend; he walked out from office and closed the door behind him. "I should visit Syaoran" he whispered as he walked towards Syaoran's office.
Sakura didn't notice Eriol was looking at her, she continued typing.
"Sakura!" Eriol called making Sakura shrieked. He laughed a bit. "How are you?" he asked.
She took a deep breath and smiled at her. "I am fine but your best friend gives my ten folders for me to type and I should mail it at around 3 o'clock. He is such a… never mind!" she replied as she looked back on the screen of the computer.
"Oh… so are about to finish?" he asked.
"Actually, I just finish two folders!" she said proudly. "Wait… are you here to visit your arrogant and mean best friend?" she asked not looking at her.
"Yeah, I should go inside now" he said as he got inside.
Eriol sat on the couch in front of Syaoran's desk. "So how's your new secretary?" he asked looking at him.
Syaoran looked up at him. "I don't like her" he whispered.
"Why? Is something wrong with her?" he asked as he put a finger on his eyeglasses.
"Yes, I think she can't do anything except for putting a make-up on her face and everything that flirty woman does" he replied as he looked back on the document that he was reading.
Eriol shook his head. "Syaoran! Don't judge people on their looks. Sakura, have an angelic face, right?" he replied.
"Yes she does but I still don't like her. Wait you like Kinomoto? What will you do to Tomoyo?" he asked looked at her curiously.
"Oh… even Tomoyo think that I like Sakura! Of course not! I love Tomoyo and I will love her all of my life!" he replied chuckling.
"Please stop being so mushy! I hate it!" he shouted.
"You know Sakura hate mushy things!" he said.
"Stop comparing me to that woman!" he yelled. "Why don't you go back to your office and do your work!" he asked sarcastically.
He nodded and stood up. "Fine" he smiled and got out from the office.
Sakura was about to finished the last sentence on the tenth folder when the phone rang. She looked first at the phone and answered it. "Yes hello, Daidouji's Company, can I help you?" Sakura answered with an American accent.
"Yes, is Syaoran there?" a woman answered on the other line.
"May I know who is this?" she asked.
"Please tell him that this is Suzuki" she answered cheerfully.
"Please wait for a moment" she said, she pressed a black button, opening the intercom.
"Yes?" Syaoran answered.
"Mr. Li, a woman wants to talk to you. I believe that her name is Suzuki, should I connect the call to you?" she said formally.
"Okay" was all he reply.
"Please wait for a moment" she said as she connected Suzuki to Syaoran then she put back the receiver on its place and turned off the intercom. Then she finished the last sentence from the last folder.
Finally, she was finished; she looked at her wristwatch, 2:00 in the afternoon. She took a deep breath and gets all the 10 folders. She knocked on Syaoran's door and heard him say 'Come in'. She turned the knob and got inside. She saw Syaoran still talking with Suzuki, he was smiling. She never seen him smile, he was more handsome if he is smiling. She shook her head and put the folders on the top of his desk. She got out from the office and looked at her desk.
She gets her cell phone from her bag and dialed Tomoyo's number. "Tomoyo! This is Sakura!" she whispered so nobody would hear her.
"Yes? Do Syaoran do something bad to you?" she asked.
She chuckled. "Nothing happen to me, uhm… can I ask one of your bodyguards to come here?" she asked.
"Sure but for what?" she asked curiously.
"Uhm… just tell one of them to go here, now" she ordered as she hang up and put her cell phone on the top of her desk.
A moment later, a man who seems one of Tomoyo's bodyguards. "Miss Sakura, I the one Miss Tomoyo send to help you" the man bowed.
She smiled at him. "What's your name?" she asked.
"Mel"
"I want you to mail this to the post office and go back here. Please make it fast!" she ordered as she gave to Mel the documents. Then Mel hurriedly walked away from Sakura.
She sighed and sat on her swivel chair and waited for something to happen. "I thought being a secretary is so hard" she whispered. Suddenly, a beautiful tall woman that has black long hair and blue eyes was walking towards her direction. She took a deep breath as the woman was now in front of her. "May I help you?" Sakura asked.
"So you are Syaoran's new secretary, well, he is right you are beautiful, anyway I am here to visit him, and I am Suzuki" she said.
"Please wait for a moment" she said as she turned on the intercom. "Mr. Li, Miss Suzuki is here" she said.
"Please let her enter" he said.
Sakura nodded and turned off the intercom and looked at Suzuki. "Miss Suzuki, please get inside" she said.
Suzuki smiled and got inside Syaoran's office.
She took a deep breath. "They are so perfect for each other" she whispered as she saw Tomoyo walking towards her. She smiled at her, "Why are you doing here?" she asked.
"I need to talk to Syaoran" she replied.
"Sorry but he is with Miss Suzuki" she answered yawning.
"What? He is with Suzuki? Wow! I miss Suzuki!" she exclaimed.
"Wait, who is Suzuki, anyway?" she asked curious why Tomoyo is so excited to see Suzuki.
"Oh, Suzuki, she is our best friend but she fly to Hong Kong to help her parents to work in their company there. So I am excited to see her!" she explained as she got inside Syaoran's office.
"Suzuki!" Tomoyo exclaimed. Syaoran looked at Tomoyo while Suzuki hugged her tight. "I miss you!" Tomoyo added.
"I miss you too!" she yelled as she let go of Tomoyo. "How are you?" she asked.
"I am fine" she replied.
"Syaoran told me that Kinomoto is your best friend, is that true?" she said.
Tomoyo nodded. "Yeah and if you know Sakura well, you will like her!" she said.
"I hope so, well she is beautiful also like us!" she replied. "I like to be her friend but I don't know how to ask her" she added.
"Oh, later I'll tell that to her. Anyway, Syaoran I like you to study this for me" she said giving him a folder.
"What's this?" he asked opening the folder.
"Well, Mr. Takashi wants us to have a fashion show and he will help us. The other details are in there and if you want that proposal he will call you some time this week" she replied.
Suzuki sat on the couch and looked at them.
"Sure" he replied as he started studying the document.
Tomoyo nodded and looked at Suzuki.
"Are you free tonight?" Suzuki asked.
"Of course for you, where are we going?" Tomoyo replied.
"Uhm… to my club downtown" she replied admiring Tomoyo's beauty.
"Sure, so can I bring Sakura and Eriol with me?" she asked.
"Of course! I love to!" she said. "Okay later at 8 o'clock you should be there" she added.
"Okay" then Tomoyo got out from the office. She saw Sakura her head resting on the table. "Sakura?" she called.
Sakura looked up at her. "What?" she asked.
"I am going to tell you something" she said.
"Fine" she whispered.
Then Tomoyo went to her office. Sakura followed her by her eyes and shrugged. "Gosh, I am so bored!" she said as she saw Suzuki got out from the office followed by Syaoran. She looked at them.
"Kinomoto, you can now leave" Syaoran said.
Sakura nodded. "Okay" she whispered as she gets her shoulder bag and left. She went to the parking lot and unlocked her car. She got inside and throws her shoulder bag on the passenger's seat then she started the engine and drove to the mansion.
After an hour, Sakura get her bag and hopped out then she locked it. She walked towards the mansion and got inside. She saw Lisa ran towards her, "Why?" she asked.
"Your father called" she said as she gets the bag from her.
"Why didn't he call to my cell phone?" she asked.
"I did not tell you that he is finding you" she replied making Sakura wrinkled her nose at her.
"Okay" she said. "Please give me food I am starving. I did not eat my lunch earlier" she said as she sat on the couch.
Lisa nodded and went to the kitchen. Sakura think for a while, "Wait, Mel didn't come back to my desk earlier, I hope that he mailed it and if he failed I don't know what will I do" she said to herself.
Then Lisa came back. "Sakura, your food is ready in the dining room" she announced.
Sakura nodded and walked to the dining room and started eating her lunch.
A moment later, Sakura looked at her wristwatch; it was 5 o'clock in the afternoon. She took a breath and went to her room. She sat on her dresser and combed her hair. "I am bored" she whispered. "Wait, I can watch in the entertainment room" she said as she hurriedly ran to the entertainment room and looked around.
It was painted a white; there was a big TV and everything. She sat on the couch and turned on the TV. She decided to watch a cartoon and watched quietly.
Then, somebody opened the door. Sakura turned to see who had just entered, it was Tomoyo. "Yes?" she asked as she looked back on the screen of the TV.
Tomoyo sat beside her. "You know Suzuki, right?" she started.
She nodded and still looking at the screen of the TV. "So what?"
"Well she wants you to be your friend" she said while looking at her. "So she is inviting us to go to her club downtown and we should be there at 8 o'clock" she added.
"Sure" she announced. "What time is it?" she asked.
"5:30" she said while looking at the clock in the room. "I am just in my office" she said as she left.
Sakura nodded and continued watching. Suddenly, she slowly fell asleep.
Sakura slowly opened her eyes and saw Tomoyo was waking her up. She looked at her, "Why?" she asked. She looked at Tomoyo, she was wearing a black tube top and cropped pants, her hair was curled and she also put a light make-up on her face. "You are beautiful" she whispered.
"I know that already, you better get up and take a bath. NOW!" she ordered as Sakura started to run to her room and to her bathroom.
A moment later, Sakura stepped out from the bathroom and saw Tomoyo admiring Sakura's clothes. "Hey, where's my clothes?" she asked.
Tomoyo looked down to her bed and Sakura saw her clothes. "Wow! That's my new clothes, I haven't worn that!" she yelled.
"Okay, wear this!" she said giving Sakura her clothes.
She received it and walked inside her walk-in closet. She wore it and looked herself on the mirror. She was now wearing her knee length pink dress. She stepped out from the walk-in closet.
Tomoyo looked at Sakura. "Wow, you look so beautiful" she said. "Sit there" she said pointing to the chair in the dresser.
She nodded and sat there. She closed her eyes and felt that Tomoyo was putting a make-up on her face and fixing her hair.
"Done!" Tomoyo yelled.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked herself on the mirror. "Wow! I look like an angel!" she said as she saw a pink scarf was tied on her hair. Her face has a light make-up, she still beautiful… More beautiful.
"Okay, I think we should go. Eriol's waiting for us" she said.
Sakura nodded and get her shoulder bag then they went outside. They saw Eriol's Mercedes waiting for them. Tomoyo hopped into the passenger's while Sakura sat on the back seat.
"You two look like an angel" Eriol said as he started to drive towards the club.
"Thanks" they replied in unison.
After a while, they were now in front of Suzuki's club. Sakura and Tomoyo got out and walked inside. Tomoyo spotted Suzuki talking with… Syaoran.
"Gosh, I guess I should leave" Sakura said as she turned but Tomoyo hold her hands. "Tomoyo!" she yelled.
"No, you are going with me" she said as they started walking. Sakura turned again but Eriol is behind her. She glared at him; she took a deep breath first before looking at them. She saw Tomoyo sat beside Suzuki. Syaoran was staring at her; he was sitting beside Suzuki across Tomoyo and Eriol.
"I guess I should leave. You four will look great!" Sakura said trying to calm herself. "I am going" she turned and was about to walk when someone stopped her by getting her hand. She looked who was holding her and saw that is was Syaoran. "M—Mr. Li, I am going" she whispered as she try to removed her hand from his but he hold it tight not letting her go.
Sakura looked at him. "Let me go!" she yelled but Syaoran didn't.
Suzuki looked at them and shook her head. "Syaoran, let her go, Kinomoto sit beside me" she announced.
Syaoran took a breath and let her go. "There" he said, he can't take his eyes off her.
Sakura looked at Suzuki and smiled. She sat beside her, "You can call me Sakura by now" she said with a smile.
"Sure, you can call me Suzuki also. So we are now friends?" she replied.
"Sure! I want to have more friends here!" she yelled making everyone looked at her.
Suzuki, Tomoyo and Eriol laughed while Syaoran just shook his head. Sakura flashed an apologetic smile at them, "I am so happy that I meet you!" Sakura said.
"I am too! I hope we can be best friend like Tomoyo, Eriol and Syaoran" she said.
"That's sounds great!" she said as she glanced at Syaoran who was looking at a blonde woman who was dancing on the dance floor. She shook her head and took a deep breath.
"Why? Do you want to dance?" Suzuki asked.
"Sure! Of course! Why not!" she yelled as they both ran to the dance floor and started dancing.
Syaoran saw Sakura and Suzuki dancing, he stared at Sakura. 'I didn't know that Kinomoto can be so beautiful like an angel' he thought. He shook his head and took a sip from his wine.
"Gosh, I need to go home!" Tomoyo said as she walked towards Sakura. "Sakura, I need to go, are you going with us?" she whispered to her ear.
Suzuki looked at them, "Sakura, you can ride with me and Syaoran" she offered.
Sakura looked at Tomoyo. "I think I am going to ride with Suzuki" she said to Tomoyo.
Tomoyo nodded and kissed Sakura's cheeks then she and Eriol left the club.
Sakura looked at Suzuki then she smiled at her. Then they goes back to dancing but stopped when the music change. Suzuki goes back to their table while Sakura ordered her drinks. "Give me an orange juice" she ordered to the bartender. She looked around and saw people entering the club.
"Miss, here is your orange juice" the bartender said.
She gets her orange juice and went to where Syaoran and Suzuki sitting. She decided to just sit beside Suzuki. She looked at her wristwatch; it was 9:30 in the evening. Suddenly, a man walked towards them. "Miss Suzuki?" the man who was like Suzuki's bodyguard.
"Yes?" Suzuki asked looking up at her bodyguard.
"You need to go, your parents had just arrived" he said.
She took a deep breath and looked at Sakura then to Syaoran. "I should go now, Syaoran give Sakura a ride" she ordered as she stood up and left with her bodyguard.
"Sure" he muttered.
Sakura saw him say something but didn't understand it. She bowed her head while putting the glass she was holding on the top of the table. "Let's leave" he said as he stood up and went to his car.
She rolled her eyes and followed Syaoran. She hopped into the passenger's seat, she feels like a pair of eyes was looking at her. She glanced at Syaoran, "Why?" she asked.
"Where do you live?" he asked.
"Mr. Li, I am living with Tomoyo" she replied trying not to look at his eyes.
"Oh…so you are living with her" he repeated nodding slowly.
She took a sigh. "Yes, I am living with her! Do you have problems with that! Can you just shut up and drive me home?" she yelled.
"Sure" he said sarcastically as he started driving to Daidouji's mansion.
She shook her head and just looked outside.
"So, why don't you have your own house? An apartment?" he asked.
"You don't care" she whispered.
"Fine" he muttered as he just continues driving.
Syaoran stopped his car in front of the main door of Daidouji's mansion. "We are here" he announced.
"I know" she muttered as she got out from the car. She stepped inside the living area, she saw a woman who was sitting on the couch while reading to some documents. "Aunt Sonomi?" she called.
The woman looked up. "Sakura?" she asked.
"Auntie!" she yelled as she ran to hugged her tight. "Wow! Tomoyo didn't tell me that you are going back tonight! Anyway, I hope that Tomoyo told you why am I here" she said.
Sonomi looked at her from head to toe. "Yeah she told me about that, anyway you look so beautiful on your dress!" she answered.
"Thanks!" she grinned.
"Syaoran!" Sonomi called.
Sakura turned to see if Syaoran was there and was shocked when she saw Syaoran standing behind her. She took a breath and shook her head.
"Yes I am!" he replied.
"Why are you here?" Sonomi asked.
"Well, I give Kinomoto a ride" he replied looking at Sakura.
Sakura scratched her head. "Uhm… I guess I better go to my room" she suggested.
"I guess you should, I don't like my secretary to get late" he replied sarcastically.
She rolled her eyes and went to her room. She throws her bag on the floor and walked to her walk-in closet. She changed her clothes into her nightgown then she jumped into her bed then she quickly fell asleep.
