Strictly Professional: Chapter 3
It was officially the end of the week and it had gone slowly for Kaiba. At the beginning of the week he was sure he would have gone insane by the time all of the interviews were finished and he certainly had.
Now, he wasreading a young woman's resumè and gave a slight smirk.Hm, Kaori Hoshi. She looks to be quite qualified.
Kaori smiled kindly at him. She had waited for so long to just sit in front of the handsome CEO and she was set on getting this job.
"Mr. Kaiba, if you give me this job then I promise I will work hard and won't ever let you down."
Seto gave her a simple wave of his hand and said, "Yes yes, I'll personally call you if you're chosen."
Kaori bowed and quietly filed out of the room.
As she left Seto couldn't help but think about how he believed he had just found his new secretary.
Kaiba had had a bad week but Anzu's week must've been worst. She hadn't gotten to make it to her interview because things seemed to come up everyday. Half of the week she had needed to tend toYugi's grandfather because he had fallen ill.
I don't mind doing things for Yugi, but ifhe ever wants me to get out on my own then I have to do this interview.
Luckily,Grandpa had gotten better and Anzu finally had her chance of making it to Kaiba Corp.Nothing was going to come up, right?
So, the young woman was all ready. She had put on her business suit and make-up andall that was left to do was fetch Yugi and say she was ready. Lucky for her he was free to give her a ride today.Anzu smiled and ran downstairs to get him.
Mokuba had come inSeto's office recently. He simplyloved his older brother withall of his heart. Mokuba was the only one that Seto could open up to and show his true feelings to.There was some feelings though, that Seto chose not to show to anyone despite he and his little brother caring and trusting the other so much.
Seto ruffled his little brother's hair. He had received word that no more people were currently coming into Kaiba Corp waiting for Seto to reject them.
"So, how did the interviewing go big bro?" asked Mokuba with a giant smile on his face.
"Horrible, that's how it went." Seto replied half-heartedly.
"I'm guessing that no one else is coming in for an interview then?"
"Let's hope not. I don't think I can stand anymore losers coming in hoping I'll either hire them because I've fallen madly in love with them, hire them because they've got good looks, or hire them because they can straddle me the longest."
Mokuba blushed.
Yugi pulled up in front of Kaiba Corporation. He couldn't believe he was letting her walk into the building alone but she had insisted that she'd be alright. He may have acted like he wanted to be friends with Seto Kaiba in the past but he still didn't trust him completely. Besides, he didn't want Anzu to leave. If she got this job she'd have enough money to go out and she's probably be way to busy to see him anymore. Yugi frowned at the thought. Who am I kidding? This is Anzu I'm thinking about. She'd never do something like that. Would she?
The short young man had a battle with himself until he heard the car door open and felt a soft kiss on his cheek. At this he blushed.
"Thanks Yugi, I'll call you when I need to be picked up ok?" said Anzu with a little concern in her voice.
"Uh, oh yeah, that'll be fine Anzu. See you." Yugi slowly drove off as she entered the building.
Seto was typing on his laptop drinking coffee and Mokuba was playing a game on another computer. A male voice protruded from a small speaker on Kaiba's desk.
"Mr. Kaiba, there's a young woman to see you. She says she's here for an interview."
After hearing this Seto rolled his eyes. Damn, I thought I was all done.
The elder Kaiba sighed and quickly replied, "Let her in."
"Yes Sir."
Shortly after hisconversation with the employee a young woman appeared in front of his desk and sat down. His eyes focused on the girl. She looked familiar. I swear I've seen her before. He took a swig of his coffee and gave her a glare but it disappeared when he heard his little brother's voice pipe up.
"Anzu! Your applying for the secretary job! Wow!"
Seto practically spewed his coffee all over the place. What in the Hell! "Mazaki?" She actually thinks I, Seto Kaiba, will hire HER? That damn cheerleader. No way, it's never going to happen.
Anzu smiled wearily, "Uh, hello Kaiba. Hey Mokuba."
Kaiba quickly returned the glare he had given her earlier. "If your going to be in this building then you have to call me Mr. Kaiba, got that?"
He's such a jerk! Anzu slightly cringed at the thought of calling her best friend's arch enemy Mr. Kaiba but if she wanted the job she would have to play by his rules.
She nodded. "Yes Mr. Kaiba. I'm very sorry."
After Anzu had said that all seemed quiet in the room. The young girl put her resumè on his desk in front of him. She hoped she qualified.
Unfortunately, like she had predicted, Kaiba took one glance at it and threw it back at her as if it were a deadly diesease he didn't want to catch. "Sorry Mazaki, you've wasted your time. Someone more experienced came in earlier. I'm giving her the job." he smirked sadistically.
Mokuba, of course, wasn't too happy. Although, his brother wasn't friends with Anzu and the rest of the crew, he was. The younger Kaiba was just about to protestbut Anzu beat him to it.
"You asshole! You didn't even look at the damn resumè, so you don't know if she's more experienced then me!"
Seto almost had the urge to laugh but held his glee inside. He loved seeing people react like this. Pure entertainment.
"Mazaki, I suggest you remove yourself from my office before I have security do it for you."
"Your a bastard." she hissed softly and swiftly walked out of the CEO's office.
He looked over at his little brother and received an unexpected glare.
"Great job big brother." he also followed Anzu path out of his older brother's office.
Anzu was standing up against the wall in the main office of Kaiba Corporation. She was crying, but not tears of sadness. Anzu Mazaki was crying out of pure anger!
She had called up Shizuka.
"He didn't even give me a chance Shizuka. He's a cold hearted jerk."
Shizuka shook her head on the other line, "I thought you expected this from him. You told me you didn't think he'd give you the job. Since when do you care what Kaiba says?"
"I don't care what Kaiba says." Anzu decided talking to Shizuka probably wasn't the best idea but continued to converse with her.
"You really need this money don't you?" Shizuka asked with a sigh.
"Yea, I really need the money. I can't live at Yugi's anymore Shizuka. I need to get an apartment and start my own life." Anzu sniffled and sighed. "Listen Shizuka, I'm going to go. I should call Yugi and tell him I'm ready to come home"
"OK, Anzu if you ever need me I'm here." Shizuka replied.
"I know. Bye Shizuka."
They both hung up. Little did Anzu know; Mokuba had heard her little conversation. As soon as she'd hung up she felt a tug on her hand and before she knew it she was being dragged back to Kaiba's office. "Mokuba, what do you think your doing!" she said as she tried to wriggle out of his grip.
Mokuba replied, "Simple. I'm getting you a job. Wait here." he disappeared into the office.
Seto slowly looked up, fearing what he might discover on his little brother's face.
Mokuba had put on his best puppy face and even managed a few tears. "Seto, why couldn't you hire Anzu? She's my friend."
Kaiba closed his eyes and replied, "Sorry Mokuba, unfortunately there aren't friends in the business world. You have to be ruthless. Anzu..I mean Mazaki, doesn't fit my standards.
The younger Kaiba let out a fake sob and Seto just couldn't help himself for much longer. He opened his eyes and stared at his younger brother. If it was one thing Seto Kaiba couldn't stand was his brother being unhappy.
Now that I think about it, hiring Mazaki wouldn't be too bad. I wouldn't be so bored throughout the day because I could utterly humiliate her and get revenge for all of those horrible friendship speeches she's put me through.
"Fine Mokuba, you can have your way this time. Tell Mazaki to report to my office at 7 AM, no later, on Monday."
"Your the best big brother in the world Seto!" Mokuba said as he bounded out of the room.
Anzu gave Mokuba an irritated look when he came out of Kaiba's office with a giant smile on his face.
"Anzu, your money problems are all over! I just helped you get the job!"
Anzu's irritated look turned into a joyful smile as she hugged Mokuba tightly. "Oh man, thanks so much Mokuba!"
Mokuba look up at her modestly, "It was nothing, really. He says to report to this office at 7 AM on Monday though."
"No problem. I should go now though. I just have to tell Yugi. Thanks again Mokuba!" she said as she walked away from him while dialing Yugi's number on her cell phone.
Mokuba sighed, "I'm so good."
