'Thoughts

Strictly Professional: Chapter 2

Well, it was the first day of interviews for the secretary position at Kaiba Corporation and Seto wasn't the least bit excited. 'Maybe I don't need a secretary, I mean I am Seto Kaiba after all. The thought went out of his mind as soon as it had entered. He looked out the window in frustration, and saw millions of young women and men standing outside Kaiba Corp. 'Damnit, this is going to be a long day.


"So, I haven't had any experience being a secretary but I was a stripper at a club nearby. I'm practically famous!"

A young blonde woman sat in front of the infamous CEO of Kaiba Corp. Seto groaned and rubbed his temples. The interviews had only been going on for 10 minutes and he had gotten nowhere. 'Only a week left of this madness. He had already had to have security escort a young man out because he refused to leave and he'd been straddled in the first 2 seconds of another young woman's session.

The woman was still babbling on and on about her other careers. Finally, Seto answered her. "Look, I just don't think your qualified enough for the job but I heard Duke Devlin was hiring whores for different "odd jobs" around his building."

A sad expression passed over the woman's face and she solemnly made her way out of his office.


Meanwhile, Anzu was getting her things together and getting ready to make her way over to Kaiba Corporation so she could get a shot at an interview. 'He's never going to hire me, considering what he thinks of me but it's certainly worth a shot. Just then, Yugi came into her room. "Hey Anzu, Shizuka called and was wondering if you guys were still up forcoffee today. I figured you were still sleeping or I would've come up here and told you that the phone was for you." he blushed and waited for her to answer.

'Ah, I forgot about the plans I made with Shizuka! How could I be so stupid? Oh well, it's not that bad. The paper said Kaiba wouldn't make his decision until the end of the week when the interviews were over. I'll just go over there tomorrow.

Anzu grinned at her short friend. "Of course I am, I'll call her back later. Thanks for the message Yugi."

He nodded and walked out of her room. Anzu always knew she was lucky to have Yugi, because he was so caring. All of her friends were special to her but Yugi was her absolute best friend. He was, after all the one who volunteered to give her a place to stay while she had no job and couldn't even pay him.

Anzu put her resumè and all of the things she had planned to take with her away and swiftly changed clothes. Shizuka had graciously changed her plans so she and Anzu could catch up. They had already cancelled 3 other times. 'Its going to be alright. Itsreally no big deal After she put her things away she made her way to the cafè that she'd be meeting Shizuka at.


It was halfway through the day. 'I wonder when I agreed to put this ugly off blue green color on my office walls. Must've been drunk. Huh. Wow, I really need to get that color changed.

"Mr. Kaiba?"

An ugly old woman had entered the room not too long ago. She had dirty wrinkly hands and straggly greasy looking hair. Seto suddenly snapped out of his trance at the sound of his last name. He stared at the woman. 'Ugh, if she works here I'll have the cleaning crew here every night following her around and cleaning after she touches anything.'

"Not happening. Out." Seto waved her out of his office and put his head on his desk. There had to be a secretary out there, there just had to be.


Anzu had made it to the cafè where she and Shizuka were set to meet. She sat at a table and obviously ordered nothing. Finally, the younger sister of one of her closest friends sat at the seat across from her. "Shizuka! It's been so long! How have you been?"

"Anzu!" Shizuka gave her a quick hug and ordered a coffee for the two of them. "I've been alright, but I've missed you and the rest of the gang so much."

"Oh, we've missed you too!" Anzu took a sip of her coffee. It was true, the gang had missed her terribly.

"So, where are you working nowadays?" Shizuka asked Anzu.

There it was, the question Anzu had been dreading ever since she and Shizuka had made plans. What would Shizuka say if she told her that she had no job? Shizuka was supposed to be her friend but she hated to admit dancing hadn't worked out for her.

"Well Shizuka, I'm currently in between jobs actually. I have an interview sometime this week so hopefully that'll work out."

Fortunately, Shizuka just let out a genuine smile. "Well, I hope it works out too! I heard Seto Kaiba was hiring. Today I almost cancelled our plans to go for an interview."

"I thought you had a job in advertising or something."

"I'm not too happy with my job Anzu, and Kaiba is sexy. I wouldn't mind seeing him every morning, afternoon, and evening. Just never tellBrother I said that." She gave Anzu an innocent smile.

Anzu rolled her eyes. "Give me a break Shizuka, not to be mean or anything but considering that your Joey's sister I don't think that he'll hire you."

"It's nice to dream though right?"

Anzu just laughed and took another sip of her coffee.

'Yea, it is nice to dream.


The day was almost done. Just a few sessions left. Looking back on the day, Kaiba realized it hadn't been that bad. Half the time he wasn't even paying attention to the constant blabber of incompetent civilians desperate for a job. In fact he had planned out a whole new design for another duel disk that he'd thought about making in the past but never had the time to create.

Of course, talking to people all day and not getting any work done certainly irked him so he'd be forced to work through the night again. 'I should've brought my damn laptop. For a genius I sure can be stupid.

One of the last few people came in for an interview. Seto sighed and tilted back in his chair. Next time he was definately having someone else control the interviews. Definately.


The day had went surprisingly fast and Anzu was back in her bedroom at Yugi's house. She and Shizuka had went walking for awhile after coffee and then went to the park and Anzu had opened up about dancing not working for her. Shizuka had told her that she needed to be getting home and they parted.

Anzu snuggled herself into bed and closed her eyes.

'Tomorrow I'll definately make it to Kaiba Corp.


The interviews were over for the day! Seto was free! Well, at least from the constant appearance of mindless men and women. He was still bound to his work and had a lot of it for the night. How he wished he could just have a good night's sleep, especially when he was destined for another bundle of people asking for a job tomorrow. Alas, the fate of Seto Kaiba was sealed. It seemed to him that he'd never be finished working.

Things change Seto.
