Chapter 4

No one's POV

'Knock Knock'

Hearing some grunt, Misaki entered the wooden door named 'OFFICE'. She sighed a little and glanced around the large office, which was very tidy, much to her relief. There was a couch near the closed windows that were adorned with white silky curtains, two arm chairs, a coffee table, a vase, cabinets and shelves where files were arranged systematically and everything else that a professional high class office has. Apparently, she had come to know through Rukino that the half side of her master's house is his office building. No wonder the mansion is too modernized, she noted. She glanced at the door on the other side of the room, thinking 'Why would anyone make his house as an office building…' when…

"Have a seat" she heard Kai say who was sitting at his desk, his face stoic. He pushed his black half-rimmed reading glasses up his nose while reading some file on his desk and glanced at the laptop beside it. He closed his laptop and removed his glasses to keep them aside.

Misaki rolled her eyes as he said it without even glancing at her and waited. She stood in front of his desk. "I'm fine, Kai-sama. What do you want?" she asked. That's when Kai glanced at her and smirked at her words.

"Uhh… I mean, what can I assist you with…?" Misaki tried to cover up her slip up.

"Not very accustomed to the maid thing, are we?" said Kai while Misaki gave him a blank stare as if ignoring his statement. Kai stood up from his chair causing her to be alerted but she stood straight. He was wearing a white V-neck t-shirt with bluish-grey blazer and black pants but still looked all professional.

"Ignoring me? This will get your attention then" said Kai as he walked around his desk towards her and held out a paper. He held an unnecessary amusement in his eyes, noted Misaki.

Misaki raised an eyebrow as she took the paper from him. Kai watched as she read it and then her eyes widen then she narrowed her eyes at it then glared at it. She turned her glare towards him while he looked unfazed.

"Are you serious?! A contract?" asked Misaki, her blue sapphire eyes blazing with anger. 'I can't believe this!' she thought.

"Yes. Calm down, Tokura. It's just a precaution… what if you try to run away from here…? The contents are the same that you'll work under me and all. And it's just a formality for the people who work here" explained Kai and shrugged. Misaki's shoulders tensed at his words. '…run away' echoed in her head.

"I understand you don't trust me and think I'll run. You don't have to cover it up by explaining" said Misaki, her voice calm but stern. She slammed the paper on the desk beside her and took the pen lying on it. She kept glaring at Kai while she signed it hastily.

"I assume you didn't read the whole contract? I don't want you to accuse me of anything later. Or is it just that, you trust me so much that you didn't have to read it?" said Kai as he leaned on his desk beside where she stood and crossed his arms across his chest. He turned his head to face her and smirked at her frowning face.

Realization hit Misaki as he said those words. She frowned and glanced at the paper on the desk and hastily took it to read. As she finished reading, her frown deepened and she looked at Kai who was looking at her.

"What is this? I have to do all the work you ask me, as your personal maid and I can't leave until you order me to? You mean, I can't resign?! And it's like I'm your servant all day?" asked Misaki, bewildered. Kai tilted his head a little.

"Hm. I guess… you did sign it though…" he said as he snatched the paper from her hands before she could tear it into pieces. She was still surprised so she didn't react when he put the paper away. "Tokura, you really run a Corporation like this? Signing documents without reading? What can I expect?" he said, mockingly as he stood straight, making her furious.

"Stop insulting me already!" stated Misaki as she punched him but Kai simply dodged it by grasping her wrist by his hand, surprising her. He turned her around while pulling her towards him so that her back was against his chest, trapping her with his hand around her frame, still gripping her hand. She blinked as it happened too fast.

"You can't win against me, Tokura" he said.

Misaki glanced up a little as his voice came from above her head. She frowned at his mocking tone and at her height being shorter than him. She fidgeted to break free but couldn't.

"Don't move" he ordered. Just then she realized her back was pressed against him. She blushed furiously, looking ahead as her heart rate increased.

"L-Let g-go" she stammered. She heard him shift a little and his other hand moved to her head and after few seconds he let go of her.

"That's what was missing" said Kai as she turned around to face him. She noticed there was something on top of her head so she touched it and realized what it was. The black ruffled headpiece which she didn't wanted to wear and which she had kept it in her pocket and he had took it without her notice.

Misaki glared at Kai. "I don't want to wear this" she said while Kai smirked closing his eyes.

"Don't care. My order. Besides it looks nice on you" said Kai while she blushed at his compliment. "Well… it'll remind you, what you are now" he added, looking away from her.

Misaki huffed, her embarrassment replaced with annoyance. "Is there anything you want me to do, Kai-sama?" she asked, crossing her arms. "Or I can go?" she added, without even hiding her annoyance.

Kai chuckled, still not facing her as he walked to sit on his chair. Once seated, he looked at her, his face impassive.

"Actually, yes. I would like you to complete these files. Compare the data with references as they have many errors and correct them. You can sit there. You have three hours" he said and pointed at the couch. "I assume you know how to complete files, right Miss Tokura heir? You can take references from those shelves. Just don't mess their numbering or you'll have to clean it up" he instructed.

"…And the door you came from, is the only door that connects my house and my office building. While that door is my office door for my colleagues" he explained, pointing at the other door she was looking at previously.

"Yes, Kai-sama" said Misaki, with a hard voice. 'What kind of house cum office building is this? And I haven't seen any elders in the house besides Rukino-san… May be he stays alone and his family is somewhere else…? Whatever… I don't need to know' she thought and turned to take the files when…

"Aa… before that, bring coffee for me" he said, without looking at her and wore his glasses again. He only heard the office door slammed shut hard and could only smirk. He pulled out his cell phone to make a call, thinking 'Isn't revenge a sweet thing…'

Meanwhile…

"I can't believe I'm late!" exclaimed Ren as he entered the big office building. He caught his breath but froze when he heard…

"Ren, you are late again" Ren gulped and turned around. He sighed relieved when he saw who it was.

"Don't scare me like that, Tetsu!" said Ren while Tetsu just crossed his arms across his chest. "Hey, I'm ten minutes late …only" he added, pouting a little.

"Good morning Ren-sama" greeted a blue haired beauty. "I see you have arrived a little late today" she said. Tetsu interrupted "…as usual".

"Okay okay! Good morning, Asaka. Anyway, it's not like you guys are doing anything by arriving early. Wait, that means Kai is not here, right?" he asked and started walking towards elevators.

"Ren-sama, Kai-sama is already in his office" replied Asaka and followed Ren who sighed while Tetsu tailed behind them.

A few minutes later…

"Good morning, Ren, Tetsu-san and Asaka-san" greeted Aichi, the assistant of Toshiki Kai, as he saw them step out of elevator. They all greeted him back smiling and went towards their respective cabins while Aichi walked with Ren to his cabin.

"Ren, I just received call from Kai-kun. He said to tell you to keep your cell phone on… or throw it away…" said Aichi as he entered Ren's cabin while Ren pulled out his cell phone which was turned off and laughed nervously. "Whoops…?"

Aichi sweatdropped. "Anyway, you have to complete that presentation he had asked you… Kai-kun said we need it for tomorrow's meeting…" he said while Ren looked at him with raised eyebrows. "…You made it… right…?" he asked unsurely, looking at Ren.

"What presentation…?" asked Ren as he kept his cell phone on his desk after turning it on while Aichi looked at him surprised. Ren laughed at Aichi. "Relax, Aichi. I was kidding. And yes, I did make the presentation but I wonder why Asaka said it needs to be done again…?" he wondered out loud, putting his index finger on his chin.

Aichi face-palmed. Then he sighed. "Well… then Asaka-san is working on it now, right?" he asked, assumingly. Well… she was Ren's assistant… Aichi sighed when Ren nodded.

"Thank god… Please complete those files from yesterday and take them to Kai-kun. He said he'll be preparing for tomorrow's meeting… Now excuse me" he said and smiled as he turned and left after Ren waved at him, smiling.

Ren sighed. 'Seriously, all of them are turning in robots! Well… they are better than Kai though…' he thought as he opened the first file on his desk.

Kai's office…

"Here's the coffee" said Misaki as she put the coffee on Kai's desk. She was mentally smirking at the coffee she made. 'Bitter thing for bitter person, ha!' she thought. She was expecting him to spit it out and waited but it didn't happen when he took a sip from the cup.

"Hm. From today you'll make my coffee, always" said Kai, taking another sip while looking through some papers. Misaki was mentally devastated. 'What?! He liked it?' she thought, stone faced.

"Just put some cream next time" he added, without looking at her and waved his hand dismissively but she didn't move.

Kai glanced at her while Misaki was staring in other direction. He saw that she was looking at the corner of the room where there was a small partition which looked like a small room with its door open.

"Is that a kitchen…?" asked Misaki, looking at him.

"Yes" he replied.

"Why didn't you tell me? I had to go down all way to the kitchen for this thing!" exclaimed Misaki, pointing at the cup in his hand. "This is third floor and not to forget those hallways" she said, thinking about her 'journey' to the kitchen.

Kai shrugged. "You never asked" he said and hid his smirk behind the cup. Misaki looked like she could snap any moment now but she just turned around to walk towards the couch and started going through files.

Two hours later…

"Hmm…" Misaki sighed causing Kai to look at her. He saw her twirling the pen in her hand but she looked focused in the file she was going through. She mumbled something while frowning and then slammed the file on the coffee table not loudly though. She had managed to ignore Kai till now while he was busy in his work. Kai saw this and raised his eyebrows.

"What are you doing?" asked Kai, removing his glasses.

"Mind your own business" she replied, uninterested then recalled where she was. She looked at him, nervously. He noticed she had completed almost all of the files and arranged them at the side of the coffee table.

"I mean… Kai-sama, I'm completing the files…" said Misaki and returned to the file as if saying 'Can't you see?'. She looked at him again and saw Kai walking towards the door and left without saying anything. She took a deep breath as if she was suffocating there and leaned into couch she was sitting and relaxed.

'I need to meet Akari… but how…? She's probably been questioned about me… They will think after running I should have gone to my best friend's house… And Shin-san is probably freaking out as I haven't contacted him yet… and I'm sure all the phone calls will be taped by now… I have a feeling those directors are up to something… ' she thought, looking up at the ceiling. "But still, I have to meet Akari and tell her the situation so she could tell Shin-san that I'm alright…" she muttered to herself.

"Don't slack off, Tokura" said Kai as he picked up the file from the coffee table in front of her.

Misaki looked at him startled. 'When did he come back…?' she thought as she saw him going through the recent file she had completed. "Yes, Kai-sama" she muttered and resumed her task.

Kai raised his eyebrow as she agreed without retorting but shrugged it off. He went through the other files she had completed and then glanced at the file Misaki was working on. 'Her skills are exceptional. As expected of Tokura heir…' he thought.

"No. There is an error here. Make a new column for that" said Kai. Misaki looked at him questioningly. Kai sighed and took seat beside her on the couch causing her to shift away from him. Kai eyed her then took the file in his hands.

"Good. You know how to work. Go take a break" said Kai without looking at her. Misaki gave him a blank stare. 'Who does he think I am? Of course I know how to work' she thought and stood up. She bowed reluctantly to leave when…

The door to Kai's office opened, revealing Ren. "Hey, Kai!" he greeted as he came in with a file in his hand while both Kai and Misaki looked at him. Before Kai could say anything, Misaki exclaimed…

"YOU?!"…
