Falling for My Maid

Author's Note: Okie guys, I am back with chapter 2. Seriously, I think that I should combine chapter 1 and chapter two together as one and shouldn't make it into part 1 and part 2. 'cause these two chapters are kinda short. Anyway, I think maybe after I post this chapter 2 and you guys reviewed, I might then try to put them together as chapter 1 and come up with another chapter 2. Hope that it will be better like this. Anyway, guys, I would advise that you all read chapter 1 again 'cause I have made some changes. Though the story line are much the less the same. Nonetheless, I would still prefer that you guys read it again. That's all I have to say for now. Don't forget to review after reading:)

Disclaimer: I want very much to owe CCS but sometimes things are just not how you want them to be. So don't sue me 'cause I am just a poor student. However, this plot is mine. :)

Summary: Sakura Kinomoto, the precious daughter of the top ten richest men in Japan, Fujitaka Kinomoto, has now become the maid of the most wanted bachelor cum the top ten richest men in Hong Kong! What has happen to Sakura that she has to reduce herself as a maid?

Chapter 2 - The Conspiracy (Part 2)

Hong Kong – Two International Finance Centre

"Ye Lan, are you sure you can get that son of yours over here?"

"Yes. He's the easiest person to manipulate. Though the only person who could do it is me. Sad isn't it? I have to 'manipulate' my son."

"Oh, come on Ye Lan, we are doing this all for the sake of our children. They'll know that we have their interest at heart in the end."

"Nadeshiko, can you bear to do this to Sakura?"

"Well, what's done cannot be undone.There's no turning back. Is there?"

"No, there's no turning back. I've got other things to do, Nadeshiko. I'll call you back later."

"Zai jian (bye), Ye Lan."

"Haha. Your Chinese always sound so weird. Nonetheless, a good try. Zai jian."

Click. The call ended with a smile.

A woman who appeared to be in her 50's stood up from her comfortable leather chair and looked out from her office. The back of the office is made of bullet-proof glass and is supposed to appear opaque to people looking from outside the building. Outside, the sky was overwhelmed by crimson and amber-tinted clouds. From a bird's eye view, everything seemed to be under her feet. She, Li Yelan, the acting CEO of the Li Group, indeed had almost everything under her feet.

There is probably no one in Hong Kong who doesn't know about the Li Group. Even the government had to stand in awe. They had a hand in practically everything under the sun, trade, bank, construction, politics, etc. If you can name it, they most probably did it.

However, when a group becomes too powerful and wealthy, especially being the top 5 greatest companies in the world, who's the next CEO, becomes a problem. Fortunately, the Li Group has one direct male descendant, Li Syaoran. However, here's another problem. Who is going to be his prospective wife? As a big corporation, there only one solution, find someone of almost equal status. And looking at the corporation world in Asia, there's only one family--- The Kinomoto Group from Japan.

Well, actually this is not an entirely corporation to corporation marriage. The Lis and the Kinomotos had been friends in their college days. Hence, having this marriage is a must and not to be questioned.

"How are things getting at the Central Plaza?"

"Usual. I'm sure you didn't call just to ask me on my work at Central Plaza, Mother."

'Why can't my son sound more affectionate? Did I teach him the wrong way? Or did the elders at the family? Ye Lan thought sadly. Her only son, yet one can say there's almost no love between them.

"I want you to travel to Japan to supervise the east tower project and settle stuffs at the Yokohama Landmark Tower."

"What stuffs?" Always in this formal tone with no warmth.

"The Yokohama Royal Park Hotel are intending to sell off their units. I want you to buy over every single unit."

"Yes, Mother. Is that all? I still have other work to do."

"That's all, Syaoran."

Click. End of conversation between mother and son. What a laughing stock. The highest command of the Li Group can't even have a normal mother to son conversation. Well, that's the price to pay for wealth and power.

Central Plaza

Click. Li Syaoran can't help feeling that there's something fishy in he going over to Japan. Usually, such cases are handled by Eriol. Surely buying over the Royal Park Hotel is not that important. Well, since Mother said so, he'll have to go no matter what.

"Hey, Syaoran. Ready to go?"

Just on six feet, perfectly proportionate and with the easy grace of an athlete, Eriol Hiiragizawa, had a handsome face which was always ready to break into a smile. He was one of those to charm easily without effort.

"Shouldn't you have at least the courtesy to knock before coming in?"

He hate Eriol coming in like that though he could do nothing about it. Maybe that's what he actually hate---The helpless feeling.

"Oh, come on. It's not like we have a subordinate and superior relationship. I am your uncle. Bear that in your mind. Let's go now."

"I really hate being your nephew. Wait for me. I've still got a bit more to go."

"How can you say that Syaoran? You broke my heart. Hear that? That's my heart shattering into thousands of pieces. You are so heartless Syaoran."

Eriol forced a painful look on his face and clutched his heart.

"You should have go for an audition to become a Hollywood star. It's a waste of your talent."

"Don't think you can mend my heart so easily by praising me, Syaoran. What's done cannot be undone. There's no turning back."

"Do you know anything about the company acquiring Royal Park Hotel?"

"How could I know anything? I am just a lowly, looked-down employee." Eriol tried to use his sleeve and wipe off fake tears.

"Hey, I am serious here. Have you heard anything?"

Eriol straighten his face and in a very serious tone, "No." Then he broke off laughing.

"I really can't stand you being so serious Syaoran. Hahahaha……"

"Are you serious about not knowing about the company acquiring Royal Park Hotel?"

"Well, I've heard something about it but not in detail though. Why?"

"Nothing."

'There's definitely something wrong about this trip. How could Eriol not know something like this?'Syaoran thought

"Hey, Eriol, are you free this week?"

"Why? Are you feeling guilty and intend to treat me to dinner? Well, I'll..."

"I'll treat you to a vacation to Japan."

"Wow, what come over you? Are you having a fever? Or did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Come if you want. If you are not willing, forget it."

"Oh, how can I reject my nephew begging me to go?"

"I didn't beg you. Let's go."

"Hey, hey, that's not the way to speak to your uncle..."

With that they left the office into the streets.
