Riri- I swear that the whole spacing thing wasn't my fault. I double checked it when I previewed it, maybe it got messed up on the site when it was uploaded to it. But I usually space my words perfectly and I double checked it and everything. Sorry for the inconvenience.
karisan-karisan- Thank you for the nice review as always. I'll continue I promise!
The-Wish-Of-Night- Thanks! I like my pen-name too.
Diamond-Xiaoli- Thanks for the awesome comments! but um why would u have your friend do that? If you had a problem with me then you should have just said something... Even though it was a very large misconception because I never said that... Just please next time something like that happens can you bring it to the table and we'll clarify it. I will say once again I think that you are an awesome writer and I never said that... Plus if I thought you were a bad writer then you wouldn't be on my favorites list
Moontearz- Yeah I have no idea where I got this idea... It just popped into my head. It was a sudden epiphany that I'd had and I knew that I had to put it into writing/ or typing whatever lol. Thank you for the compliment on my new name! I like it too. Oh sorry that I haven't reviewed your story in a while it's just that I have been lazy... LOL... Well I try to keep my updates consistent but I hit a lazy streak... I'm sure that anyone who isn't perfect knows how that goes...
Jeanie- I know it's been a while since I updated but I always try to update all of my stories in a cycle whichever hasn't been updated in the longest time is next... Since I recently updates Silent Obsession then the next one to be updated will be L.I.T.S. Don't worry I'll continue. I very seldom write one-shots and I haven't written any on this site so you've nothing to worry about lol. THanks for the review.
V.X.O- Hah... Sorry if this upsets you but you review never really affected me or anything. It's nice to know that you like it... I think its funny that she would have you do that because of a misconception. I never meant anything like that ever, I think that she writes really good anyway. Well glad to know that you like it, hopefully if you review again then it will be a happy and truthful one...
Deceitful Affection Chapter One
The rising phoenix sat up in her bed and stretched her arms out. She was happy for a moment and then she remembered her current predicament and she slopped back down. She was about to close her eyes to the outside world if only for a little while when an incessant ringing noise started to sound. SHe tried to ignore it but it refused to cease.
"What!" she yelled hoarsely into the phone.
"Xiaoyu, I mean Miss Xiaoyu, you must wake for your new job interview is in two hours." Aoi, her assistant, said.
"Oh ok... I'm sorry Aoi."
"Oh Miss Xiaoyu it is quite alright."
Xiaoyu rolled over in the bed and got up with a load groan. She made her way into the bathroom and showered. Hot showers were her most favorite thing in the world. She liked that feeling of waking up and being shocked by the water. She was enjoying her shower so much that she had forgotten that time was an object and by the time that she was done she only had about thirty minutes to prepare herself for the day. When this came to her attention she started running around and getting ready like a mad woman.
Finally she was done and she rushed out of her apartment to the elevator. She vigorously jammed the lobby button and didn't take notice to the the stranger whom she was occupying the elevator with.
"No matter how hard or how many times you jam the button the elevator isn't going to move any faster." he said with an amused look surfacing upon his countenance.
"I know... But I'm late." she said impatiently.
"Well now that you are late a few more minutes won't kill you." he said. She just shrugged it off and refrained from hitting the button anymore. The doors opened to reveal a woman. She had a nice tan and a little longer than shoulder length brown hair. She looked up at Jin and did a double take.
"Jin?" she said tapping him on the shoulder while Xiaoyu pretended not to notice.
He suddenly snaked his arm around Xiaoyu's shoulders and pulled her close to him. She was a bit startled by this act and she wanted to see where this was going. He had shaken her out of her thoughts so she didn't know what was going on or even what they were talking about.
"Yes..." he said drearily.
"Do you remember me?" she said whilst batting her long false eyelashes.
"Uh..." he was about to speak when the doors opened to reveal a different floor and someone got on.
"C'mon babe we have to go, you know how little Yukie gets when we are late to get her." Jin said to Xiaoyu as they got off on the floor. Xiaoyu glanced back to see a perfectly inlaid frown upon the lady's face but she didn't care. Just as the elevator doors were closing Jin caught her by surprise and kissed her just so the lady could see.
Jin heard the doors close fully and he slightly pulled away. He opened his eyes a tiny bit to see Xiaoyu's face. She was quite dazed and flushed.
"Sorry." he said bringing out of her dream like state.
"What was that all about? An ex-girlfriend?" she asked bemused.
"Well no, I had to help her with something at work because she was new and now she thinks that we are an item."
"I guess not anymore." she said smirking.
"Sorry to hold you up I probably made you even more late." he said looking at his feet.
"What time is it?" she said as she looked down to her watch. A look of exasperation smeared across her pretty features and she ran away.
"Wait! Before you go tell me your name."
"Oh it's Xiao and what's yours?" she asked.
"Xiao? Just Xiao?"
"Ling Xiaoyu."
"Well I will call you Ling Xiaoyu."
"But you don't have my number." she said rushing to the stairs.
"I'll find you." he said as he watched her leave.
Xiaoyu sprinted down the last flight of stairs and ran out to get a cab. While she was in the cab all she could think about was the beautiful stranger that she had met only minutes ago and the last thing that he'd said to her. 'I'll find you'. She shook the thoughts away from her head and reminded herself that she was on business only. But one thing kept plaguing her mind, no one had ever kissed her like that. She kept thinking about that and holding on to that one thought even as she walked or rather ran up the stairs to the building of her job interview.
She walked up to the front desk. "Hello I am Ling Xiaoyu and I'm here to apply for a job, I have an appointment."
The rather aged lady at the front desk looked through some papers and said "ahhh right here, you are to be a receptionist?"
"Yes that's it."
"Ok Miss Ling your desk is right over here and just call me if you need anything, by the way my name is Mai." Xiaoyu nodded and walked over to her desk.
The whole day was going smoothly and she was allowed a break. She walked down to the staff restroom and lounge. She tried to get a candy bar out of the vending machine but for the life of her it wouldn't budge so she continued to shove quarters in.
"Ahhh... You must be new?" said a tall blonde haired man as he walked in apparently on his break as well. "That bloody piece of crap never works." he said smiling.
"Care to give your name love?" he asked.
"Xiaoyu and you?"
"Steve, Steve Fox."
"Nice to meet you." she said and was about to sit down when her cell phone began vibrating up her pocket.
"Can you excuse me?" she asked politely.
"O'Course love." he said in his thick british accent.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Phoenix." a haughty voice said on the other line.
"How is your job coming along? Have you met the elusive Jin Kazama yet?"
"No, I can't say that I have."
"Just remember little Xiao that I control you. If you don't do as I say I could kill you and no one would notice, only Miharu and that could be fixed as well. You belong to me and never forget it." he said as he hung up the phone.
Xiaoyu resisted the urge to throw the phone but kept calm and sat down.
"Breathe," she said to herself, "just breathe."
"Are you okay love? What seems to be bothering ya?" Steve said as Xiaoyu returned back into the lounge.
Xiaoyu just shook her head.
"Very well then I'd best be getting back to work, I gotta meetin with Kazama and some others. You should let me take ya to lunch some day. Call me." he said as he slipped her a small piece of paper.
Soon her break was over and she headed back to her desk. About an hour later the lady whom was at the front desk came over to see Xiaoyu.
"Miss Xiaoyu."
"Yes" she said looking up from her papers.
"Mr. Kazama would like to see you."
Xiaoyu nodded.
"To get to his office take the elevator on the left all the way up to the main floor."
"And after that?"
"The elevator will take you right to his office, its a private elevator but I wouldn't want you to get lost so you can take it." Xiaoyu nodded and walked over to the elevator. She pressed the top button and then memories of the elevator this morning invaded her mind. The opening of the elevator doors snapped her out of her dazed state and she stepped out of the elevator.
"Mr. Kazama is waiting for you." yet another secretary said.
"Right through those doors." she said motioning to the big wooden doors to her right.
Xiaoyu opened the doors and walked inside. When she finally looked up she was shocked and surprised. Not the Jin Kazama she expected at all, but it was him. The beautiful stranger from the elevator that morning.
"Hmm.. I guess that didn't need to find you," he said smirking, "looks like you've found me." he said softly.
