Chapter 18
Sakura heard Tomoyo's voice. "Tomoyo" she called trying to change her voice into a happy one.
"Sakura? Are you crying again?" she asked as heard her best friend's voice.
She smiled, "I am sorry but yes… Can I talk to you even I am crying? I just can't help it every time I think of him my tears can't stop falling and I hate it!" she replied.
"That's okay, don't worry. I understand!" she answered. She really understand what her best friend was facing right now and she was not used to it. She knew Sakura was a strong person and just because what Syaoran did to her she was a weak person because of him. "Why did you call anyway?" she asked.
"Well, I just want to ask you if you already give the letter to him?" she asked.
"Yes I gave it to him earlier. Actually, he really change. I mean he is now as cold as ever, he really don't smile or talk with anyone unless it is important. I guess he too can't move on. Do you know you are the first person who makes him like that?" she said.
She shook her head and she does not like what he is doing to himself. "Tomoyo, talk to him, I mean help him! But please don't say to him that I am talking to you about him!" she said.
"I'll try to… But I hope he won't yell at me like he does when someone talk to him even Eriol!" she replied.
She heard someone called Tomoyo for a meeting on the other line. "Hey, I am going now, bye!" she said as she cut the line. She took a deep breath and wiped her tears away. She think about Syaoran, it hurts for her that he did that because of her. she stood up from her bed and went to her bathroom. She took a long and relaxing bath, she does not want to got out from the tub, and she wants to stay there. She played with the petals inside the tub and remembered the rose he gave to her making her smile sadly.
After an hour, she did not noticed that she was already fallen asleep inside her tub. She got out and put on her bathrobe. She went out and saw her maids and guards scattered around her room. She just smiled at them; she walked inside her walk-in closet. She put on her white shirt and faded jeans. She combed her hair softly and grabbed her bag. She ran to the living area of their mansion and saw her mother still there. "Mom, I am just going to Dad" she said not looking at her.
Nadeshiko nodded, "Sure" she answered with a smile.
She walked out and went to her limo. She got inside and waited for her driver to got inside. She took a deep breath, 'I am back to my normal life!' she thought as she saw her driver got inside. "In Dad's office and I don't know where he is now and I believe that you know where he is so better drive there" she said coldly.
Later, she was now in front of one of their company. Her driver opened the door for her; she quickly got out and walked inside through the automatic glass door. She directly went to her Dad's office. She smiled at her secretary, "No! Do not tell him that I am here! I'll surprise him!" she winked at her. She knocked on the door and heard her father's voice making her excitement rise. She turned the knob and pushed the door revealing her dad on his desk, working. "DAD!" she exclaimed while closing the door behind her.
Fujitaka looked up and saw her daughter. He quickly stood up and hugged her tight. "Oh Sakura! I miss you! Why didn't you tell us that you are going back?" he asked as he let her go.
She cannot removed her smile on her face when she saw her father. "Dad! I miss you too! Well, uhm… Is it kinda not in my plan" she answered.
He stared at her daughter but noticed her eyes were red. "Sweetie, why is your eyes are like that?" he asked making her gulp.
She needed to tell to her dad about Syaoran. She sat on her couch with sad smile while Fujitaka sat back on his swivel chair. "So tell me now" he said as he leaned on his chair with crossed arms.
She told her dad about everything, how did they meet to how did brake up. She can't help but cry every single sentence that she said. "Dad! I am sorry but I still can't meet the guy I am going to marry. I am still not ready" she said sobbing.
He smiled at her daughter; "Sweetie, that's part of love" he started. "I also used to cry when I was your age. I also hate love" he confessed. "And besides, the mother of the guy you are going to marry told me that her son wasn't still ready to meet you" he added making Sakura looked at her.
She nodded in understanding. "Oh" was all she can reply to her father. She wiped her tears away; she was so happy that her father was always there for her. "Dad, uhm… I want to ask if there's any position that are not occupied in any of our company except for secretary position" she said trying to sound okay.
He looked at a folder, "If you want a job here, the job I can give you is Executive Vice President," he said while looking up at her.
She nodded, "Okay then, I'll take it. I believe that job will going to make me so busy," she said.
"Yes, it will make you really busy" he said. "So, why don't you start now? The job is like your brother's job and I know that you know it already" he added in business tone.
She nodded as she stood up. "Where's the office?" she asked fixing herself.
"Across my office and your secretary is waiting for you there, Amy is her name" he answered.
She nodded and quickly walked towards her new office. She had met Amy, she was 23 years old, she had a black shoulder length hair and black pair of eyes, in short, and she was beautiful. She got inside her office. It was a big one but her dad's office was larger than hers, of course. It has a black desk, small kitchen and small bathroom and round table and couch. She nodded slowly and sat on the swivel chair, she turned her chair behind her as she saw the see-through wall, and she saw the whole Japan making her smile. She turned back to her desk as she saw a bunch of documents and folders making her gulp. She started working on the folders first.
THAT NIGHT
Sakura was still in her office, she wasn't finished on her works. She decided to give her father a call. She got her cell phone from her bag and dialed her father's number. "Dad!" she called when she heard her father's voice.
"Sweetie, why aren't you home yet?" he asked worriedly.
She smiled when she heard her father's voice was worried. "Dad! Don't be so worried! I am here at my office and I think I won't going to eat my dinner there besides there are still peoples here," she informed as she read a document in front of her.
"Oh okay, just eat your dinner okay" he said making her nod. "Okay, I got to go, bye!" he said as he cut the line.
She put her cell phone on her desk and got back from her work. She heard a knock on her door making her look up. "Come in" she said. Amy walked inside with a tray of food. "Oh, Amy!" she smiled. "Thanks for the food!" she said as Amy put down the tray on her desk. "You can eat with me" she said as she grabbed a fries from the tray.
Amy bowed, "Thank you, Miss" she sat on the visitor chair and started eating.
"Don't call me Miss anymore, just Sakura" she said while signing some documents. "I am your friend now" she added. "And I am sorry if I told you to take your overtime, it's just that I need your help" she winked at her.
"Oh, Sakura, do you know that you are the first person that is part in the upper class who doesn't have bad personality!" she said as she sipped from her soda.
She smiled at her, "Thank you" she muttered. "Anyway, tomorrow, I want you to mail this and can you tell me what's my schedule for tomorrow?" she said while giving her a folders.
She received it and put it on the other visitor chair. "Please wait for a moment" she said. She grabbed her pad on her desk outside and went then told her all of her schedule for tomorrow.
"Huh? I should be here by 7 o'clock in the morning? And I have still a meeting until 7 o'clock in the evening? My god! I am going to love this work!" she said. She was so happy that her work made her so busy so she can forgot Syaoran for a while. Yes, she already forgave him.
Amy nodded, "Unfortunately, yes" she said as she finished her dinner.
She took a deep breath as she sign the last document. "Done!" she exclaimed happily. She arranged her desk first before standing. She took a sip from her water and grabbed her bag. "Amy, come on, let's go" she said as she headed to the door.
Amy nodded and fixed the food and put it all in the tray. She put the tray on her desk outside and grabbed her bag. "Ready" she said.
She nodded and they both went to the lobby of the company. "Do you have your car with you?" she asked as she headed to the parking lot.
She nodded yes, "Yes I have so I see you tomorrow! Bye!" she said as she walked towards her SUV.
She remembered her days in Japan when she was still a secretary. She took a deep breath and walked inside the limo. She rested her head on the head rest of the car.
After an hour, Sakura was now in front of the main door of their mansion. She quickly got out and saw her father, brother and mother waiting for her in the living area. "Why are you all here?" she asked lazily.
Fujitaka stood up and walked towards his daughter. "Sakura, we plan that we should have a welcome back party for you" he said as he put a hand on her shoulder.
She shook her head, "Dad, I don't like to have that kind of party besides I am busy now that I have work" she answered.
He nodded in understanding. "It's okay" he smiled. "I know that you want to focus on your first official job" he winked at her making her smile.
She nodded, "Thanks dad, Good Night then! Touya, good night also! I am going to my room" she said as she went to her room. She quickly took a shower and changed her clothes into her nightgown. She jumped into her bed and slowly fell asleep.
