Chapter 2- Professional Meeting and a Lunch

Sakura was not "only" beautiful but was also a business tycoon. She was the owner of the Moroyami Corporation, the company with the best-selling toys and was one of the top companies today. She was stinking rich and lived in a penthouse for convenience.

Right now, she was inside her office, waiting for an important person whom she was going to merge with. She was actually the one who called for a merge. She found it funny, because of the hard times of today, even "she", the great Sakura, needed a merge. And what was even more funny was that the company she was going to merge with didn't need them. She had heard the owner of the company was really nice. Perhaps that was why that company was the leading company. Now, Sakura wondered, that company had to have an old boss. She, reluctantly, agreed that young people couldn't handle companies who didn't need merges at all, like her.

"I wonder where the old coot is?" Sakura added.

"Kinomoto-sama, Li-sama, from the Li Corporation is here." A voice from the intercom said.

"Arigato, Suzuko, please ask him if he wants any drinks or food and give him if he says anything. Bring me up some black coffee also."

"Hai, Kinomoto-sama."

Sakura sighed. Today might shape what the future of Moroyami Corp. she just hoped all would go well and that the president of the Li Corp would consent to her little demand. After all, the Li Corp wouldn't lose anything. The door opened, but not before two knocks on it, and her secretary stepped inside her office with a tray full of food, and was smiling goofily.

"You got lucky, Kinomoto-sama." Her secretary said.

Sakura was confused. What did the secretary mean by that? Her secretary put the tray of food on Sakura's desk and left, closing the door behind her. Sakura shook her head sadly, her secretary was cracking. Sakura had a mental note to make her secretary take a break.

There were another two knocks on the door. Sakura then instantly knew that wasn't her secretary. Why so? That her secret.

"Come in." Sakura said

The door opened, and voila! What did you know? This is rather a small world after all. In front of her was the drop-dead guy from last week. The one she met in the church. Li Syaoran. Sakura could feel the impulse to go to La La Land.

"Konnichiwa. Anata no-namae wa Li Syaoran desu. Dozo yoroshiku, Kinomoto Sakura-san." He said.

Polite as ever, Sakura thought.

"Konnichiwa, Li-san. Onegai, take a seat. About the merge…" She said.

Syaoran sat at one of the two chairs in front of her.

"do you have the preposition documents, Kinomoto-san?" Syaoran asked.

"Ah… Hai, Li-san." Sakura said.

She took out the envelope and gave it to Syaoran who opened it and got out the papers from the envelope and read the papers carefully, scanning for even the tiniest fault. His face was looked very concentrated and serious and it looked very cute.

After reading, he put back the papers in the envelope and gave it to Sakura. He then grinned.

"You have a merge, Kinomoto-san." He said. "I haven't seen where to sign the signature. "

"Nani!" Sakura exclaimed. "It's not there!"
"Hai. Doshite?"

"Eheheheh… I guess my secretary forgot to put it…"

"it's alright Kinomoto-san. We can just write it."

Sakura took out the papers and began writing. Could this day get any worse was what she was thinking in her mind.

"Ano, Kinomoto-san, do you happen to have a sister?" Syaoran asked, breaking Sakura from her reverie.

"Iie. Doshite? Sakura asked.

"You look very much like a nun I met. How odd."

Sakura nervously laughed.

"How odd indeed." She said.

She was finished writing, they wrote their signatures, and then Sakura hid the papers.

"Arigato gozaimasu, Li-san." Sakura said with a bright smile. "Would you care to have lunch with me? It's already twelve."

Oh shit, I did "not just ask that, now what will he think of me, I mean, I'm acting like a damn schoolgirl in love Sakura thought

Syaoran smiled. Sakura swooned in her mind.

"Sure, Kinomoto-san. We can also think of this as a little celebration of our companies merging." He said.

Lunch, at an expensive restaurant called "La Petite". Syaoran and Sakura were sitting on a table (the chairs) beside the window, chatting gaily. And who knew that Mr. Perfect was also twenty-six and single? Was God ever this good to Sakura?

"You're so lucky, you have four sisters. I have an annoying nii-chan, and our gap is like seven so we practically don't relate to each other." Sakura said.

"Iie. My youngest one-san is nine years older than me."

"Matte yo. You're telling me you're the youngest?"

"Hai."

Sakura started giggling, while he chuckled. Their food arrived and they started eating.

"I daresay, I've been wondering what tempura calamari is doing in a French restaurant when calamari is categorized as Italian. Syaoran said.

"Quite the food expert, aren't you?" Sakura asked with a smile.

"My second to the youngest one-san is a culinary genius. I learned from her."

"Then you can cook good?"

"I don't know… demo people say I do."

They continued eating.

'You know, Li-san, I thought the boss of your company would be old." Sakura said.

"Hai. A lot of people assumed that. It's actually quite funny." Syaoran said.

"Your corporation is quite abundant; I daresay they'd expect someone with a lot of experience."

'I suppose so, but they shouldn't judge all too quickly. I'd be offended if I didn't know any better. However, I guess people supposing me as old just grows on me. I really don't care."

Sakura nodded and then sipped some Irish coffee, yet another oddity in a supposedly French restaurant. Was this the start of a good business relationship? Or will it grow to something more? Or will it simply stay that way? Or will it be a disaster? Or will someone stand in the way? Those were the thoughts in Sakura's head, and she was interrupted from her thinking by a tap.

"Hiiragizawa!" Syaoran exclaimed.

Sakura quickly turned to see… who else but the happy engaged couple, Eriol and Tomoyo.

"Konnichiwa." Sakura said coldly.

So much for a good lunch, Sakura thought.
