(a/n) Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for all the reviews! Well, in this chapter i'll be introducing Xiao's admirer, and the appearance of Jin, may be in Chapter5 or so...
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Tekken characters, Namco rightfully does.
Chapter 3 – Happy Birthday… and another surprise.
One hour later, 8am…
"Bye Clara! I'm off to work! Sorry about that big mess we made in the room!" said Xiao happily.
"Me too! Bye Aunt Clara!" said Josie.
Xiao was wearing a maroon suit piece; the shirt she wore on the inside was made of a very thin material, and clung onto her skin. The jacket went on perfectly, with long sleeves, except for the skirt, which was really short and went midway up her thighs showing off her curves… any man would have gone wild at the sight of the woman in front of them. The suit piece was completed with a pair of crimson high heels. Her hair which had grown a lot now, was in a neat French braid, a few strands of hair escaping, and her lips were made pouty once more thanks to the cherry lip gloss she was wearing. Boy, did she look delicious.
"Clara, thanks soooo much for this suit piece! You completed my life!" yelled Xiao after a quick inspection of herself.
"You're welcome, dear, now hurry along!" Clara yelled.
"Wait! You haven't completed the suit piece yet! Here! Wear these!" said Josie, handing her the Ray ban sunglasses.
"Josie! You're gonna have all the men over here whistling their heads off!" said Xiao, although she couldn't help but drool at the sight of the expensive glasses.
"That's why I'm giving you them, anyway they were my mom's gift to you!" Josie said.
"Okay, okay, c'mon, we'llbe late!" said Xiao excitedly.
20 minutes later… MacMillan industries…
"C'mon! You go inside first!" said Josie, trying to sound calm, but her voice gave her away.
"Okay……" said Xiao, "but why are the lights off? Josie? Where are you? Hmmm…must've gone to get a coffee or something…" she said turning on the lights, not knowing what awaited her beneath the depths of all that darkness, was a surprise…
"SURPRISE!" yelled everyone.
"Omigosh! Guys you didn't have to do all this!" For the whole office was decorated with streamers, balloons, lights……… "Wow………" she whispered.
"C'mon birthday girl… you deserve it!" said one man.
"She certainly does……" came a voice.
"M-Mr. MacMillan!" Xiao stuttered. He was the owner of MacMillan industries and Jin Kazama's number one rival, after Hwoarang. (Of course!) He was a well built man, tan, dark brown hair that was made spiky because of the use of gel, grey eyes, perfect physical features; he might as well have been mistaken for Jin's half brother or so, and at the ripe age of 21 like Jin.
He had taken a liking to Xiao ever since she had come to work for him, he had shared all his secrets with her, she turned out to be the complete opposite of all the other secretaries who had tried to hit on him, no, her mind was clean, innocent…… yes, they had become the best of friends now.
"N-n-no n-need to s-s-stutter, Xiao!" he said amused at her and her behavior.
"You planned all of this?" she said.
"Well, yeah, Josie was a kinda like a messenger for us" he said pointing to Josie, who waved at her happily.
"Thanks!" she squealed, running up to Ethan (Ethan was his first name) and giving him a tight bear hug.
"Whoa! Easy there!" he said.
"Oh, sorry……" she said.
"Cake time!" someone yelled.
"Right on!" yelled another person.
"Mr. Drew is there nothing else you think of other than food?" said Ethan to the man who had mentioned the cake.
15 minutes later…
Everyone was shouting and singing "Happy Birthday!" to Xiao.
"Okay, make a wish Birthday girl!" said Josie.
Xiao closed her eyes, after 5 seconds she blew out the candles, "So, what did you wish for?" asked Ethan inquisitively.
"Can't tell! Then it would never come true!" she said happily.
Yet another display of her innocence, "She's like a little child" said Ethan quietly, as a grin spread across his handsome face.
"Okay, c'mon everyone! Back to work!" said Ethan after half an hour of merriment.
There were oohs, awwwsss and ahhhsss after he'd said this, "Xiao! In my office! I didn't give you my gift yet!" he yelled to Xiao, over the noisy employees.
"Okay! Coming!" she squealed.
Ethan's office was certainly a grand one, pictures of his mother and father of all of his ancestors, yet it did have an elegant look to it. Everything was beige or brown, a soft light lit the room. The sofas were of pure leather, and a crystal chandelier hung above.
Xiao couldn't help but marvel at his office, "It has almost the same proportions as Heihachi's, but there's a warm, cosy feeling to it…" she muttered under her breath.
"Here, open it……" he said, handing Xiao two boxes, one big and one small.
"You know, you didn't have to do all this……" she said quietly, though couldn't help but blush at the way Ethan was looking up and down at her. "Nice outfit. New?" he asked.
"Yeah, Josie's aunt gave it to me." she said.
"Okay. Well, open the box!" he said.
She opened the small box first, inside was a diamond set, complete, with earrings and a ring.
"Wow…… but you…… didn't …… have to……" she said in between gasps.
She quickly opened the second box to reveal a designer gown. It was elegant, creamy white, the top like a halter top style,so itwould show her back,and the rest flowed freely. Made of very thin material, she felt the fabric and ran her porcelain hands along it.
"A diamond set isn't complete with a dress, I was hoping you could wear it on a special occasion……" he said.
"It's beautiful……" she said, her heart in her throat, this was the first time she had got such expensive gifts, and she said it aloud.
"This truly is the first time, I've ever got something so expensive……" she said, repeating her thoughts, this time in words, "Thankyou… she whispered, "Thanks for everything……" she said.
She completed the sentence by giving him a small peck on the cheek. Ethan was completely taken aback; all he could do was stutter hopelessly after that. He raised his hand to feel the place where her warm lips had been.
"So, shouldn't we be getting back to work?" she asked while carefully placing the dress in its box and putting both the boxes in a big bag.
Ethan smiled and got up from where they had both been sitting, "Yeah, oh please mark a free day for me. I need to meet the CEO of Mishima Industries." he said.
"Name please……" she said, hoping it to be someone from G-corporation who had taken over the company.
"Jin Kazama" he said.
Xiaoyu dropped the pen she had been holding in her hands for so long, and gasped aloud.
(a/n) Oooooh! So, now she discovered Jin's comin' to town! What's she gonna do? Reviews, and then find out! I really liked this chapter!
