How Listening to Your Heart For 100 Days Can Help You
Chapter 1: Syaoran's New Secretary
Date: January 30, 2006
TO DO TODAY: sign off on all the papers go to the stock room and check if people really steal the supplies
Syaoran sent her away. His new secretary was most displeasing. She actually had the nerve to try and...talk to him? Using weird phrases as well, like 'sexy baby' and 'you're looking fine.' He already knew he was fine. Why wouldn't he be? He was the multi-billionaire CEO of his own company, Li Corporation. That was more than just fine, if you had asked him. More like ecstatic. Frowning, he looked over the papers that he had to sign off on. Normally, he would have read between the lines even more, but it was three in the morning, and he had n exhausting day. Women. They were a subject...no, species that he never wanted to pursue any interest in. But after they really met him (Ha, like that would ever happen...More like saw him talking to Hiragizawa or something), one could say they lost his taste for him, because, well, he wasn't the most gentle of men.
Walking sullenly towards the elevator, he pressed the arrow to go down. After an eternity of waiting, the door finally opened. Once in, he then noticed a couple that worked in advertising walking to go in the elevator he was in (All the other elevators were closed at night for security purposes). They looked...intimate, and he didn't do too well around people, nonetheless, people like them. So, he pressed the 'close door' button frantically, but as his luck would have it, the door stayed open, allowing them to walk in. They started kissing and touching and...ugh. It looked painful to him, with their faces smashed together.
A well known fact in the world, well Syaoran's world, anyway, was that time seemed to go slower when he wanted it to go faster. He felt his temper rising, so hard, that when the elevator landed to pick up it's third passenger, he slammed the button to close the damn door. That was when the girl finally lifted her mouth from her beau's and looked at Syaoran. She started whispering to the man, who then instantly blushed. "Oh, Mr. Li, it's an honor to be in your presence. I didn't know it was you, because I had never-"
"That's enough. It's fine." Looking not at all shocked at the CEO's cold response, he turned back to cuddling with the woman. The third passenger, who Syaoran had know idea where she came from, was more of a silent type. So, naturally, he preferred her out of the other two people on the elevator.
When the doors opened, he ran out of it, and dashed into the parking lot and speeded away. He needed to go home.

Date: January 31, 2006
TO DO TODAY: meet Star Corp. for merging possibilities finish paperwork! discuss the importance of using only three squares when using toilet paper to employees.
Eriol Hiragizawa was, in a word, lost. He hated going to Li's estate, because it was gigantic. Opening doors frantically, he couldn't even find anyway.
Joy.
This was happening again.
Instead of continuing his search, Eriol did what he did the past million times he got lost on there: He sat. And waited. It usually only took about five hours for a maid to find him.
------
Syaoran Li walked down his estate in a very grand manner. He was going to fire one of his maids, because she didn't show up at exactly 6:00 to bring him breakfast. Thinking of how he needed to hire a new secretary, too, Li walked down the empty hallway. This was his private passageway. No one knew about it. So, when he saw a body slumped there, he nearly had a stroke. Not knowing who it was, he grabbed an un-turned on lamp from the nearest coffee table, and was about to smash it on the man until he saw who it was.
"Hiragizawa? What the Hell are you doing here? It's six in the morning!"
"Oh, hi, cousin, I am just here to tell you that you need a new secretary." Li looked at him in disbelief. That was why he was fucking here. "Now before you say anything, I came to tell you that because, bluntly, Li, your paperwork is building up, and you need a secretary to help you organize everything out."
He would have argued back. He would have loved to argue back. But the stupid idiot had a point. "Fine. Hold the interviews tomorrow, so you can get the word around today."
"Oh the interviews will be held tomorrow. I already got that part done. But you, sir, will be holding the interviews. I will observe. I don't want whatever happened with Melina from yesterday happen again." Li smirked. Then walked away.
Hiragizawa shook his head. He needed a woman bad.

"She seems fine..."
"Shut your mouth, Hiragizawa. I don't want a knitting secretary. OUT!
But it looked like she was asleep. On the chair. "Li, do you think she's...dead?"
"I don't have time to deal with this. Just wheel her out"

"And why wouldn't I be?"
"I've had trouble with the rest of the women your age about arriving on time."
"So you assume that I would be the same?"
"This isn't getting you points towards becoming my secretary, Kinomoto."
Eriol raised an eyebrow. Hmm...
"Fine. You know what? I'm going to be the bigger person, so I'm going to introduce myself, like you should have asked me too."
"Be my guest."
Sakura frowned. She wasn't sure she wanted to work for him anymore. "My name is Sakura Kinomoto, and I feel I am qualified because I can actually type at a fast speed, take calls politely, and won't bother you because I have no need to whatsoever."
"I don't need your sassy attitude. OUT!"

break
"I thought she was fine, Li."

Date: February 5, 2006
TO DO TODAY: Train Kinomoto for her new job
"Kinomoto, this is your desk. Mine is in that room behind the double doors. If you ever need me, please hesitate in asking me. All right, good luck."
"That's it. You're not going to tell me how you want me to handle your phone calls, or work your system, or anything else of that sort?"
"You're a fairly smart woman. You'll figure it out."
"I hate you."
"The feeling's mutual, Kinomoto, now get to work. I'm not paying you to sit and talk."
Eriol walked in. They were fighting again, and it was only the second time they had met. He assumed they would be setting up another secretary interview soon.
---
Li walked back to his desk somberly. He hated this woman. She had the nerve to actually yell at him? He wanted to fire her so bad, but he didn't, because he felt something that was...different to him. He didn't know what it was. She made him fired up, and made his, well, penis grow every time they talked, even through the arguments they had over the phone, and he felt as if he'd known her forever. Damn whatever the damn feeling was. He'd figure out what it was, then he'd fire her.
---
"I'm a fairly smart woman, I'll figure it out." Sakura mimicked in her Li voice. The nerve. Just then as the phone was ringing, Sakura had a wicked idea. She picked the phone up. "Hello, Li's stripping services, how can I be of assistance?" Funny. They hung up.
"Kinomoto, what the fuck did you say? That was Star Corp calling! We've been trying to talk to them since forever!"
"I j just offered my services as a stripper, Li. Nothing too much."
"Why the Hell did you do that?"
"You, sir, made me angry? I mean, I'm new here, what if I had no idea how to work these things?"
"Well, I'm sorry, if I don't know how to explain things to a woman! Besides my mother and sisters, I've never been with one!"
"Well, then- wait what? You've never been with a woman? You mean you've never had a girlfriend?"
Li blushed. Sakura thought he looked a bit hot when he did that. "Yes, all right? I've never had a girlfriend, or any friends that were girls for that matter."
"Why not?"
"Because of work, and everything. I just didn't, I don't know. Ugh. I can't believe I'm telling you, out of all people, this."
Sakura looked thoughtful. "Is there anyone else that you would have rather told?"
Li looked into her emerald eyes. He couldn't lie to her. "No."
"All right, do you have a date for Valentine's Day?"
"Do I have a what?"
"A, oh never mind. Are you spending Valentine's Day with anyone?"
"I never do."
"Well, then you're spending it with me. I'll be your girlfriend."
Li smirked. Sakura saw it and blushed. "I-I mean f-friend that is a-a g-girl."
"I know."
"You bastard."
a/n: SO...Didja like it? I was in the mood to start another romantic fic a couple of days ago, and this is where my head led me.
