AN : Hey lovelies! Cinnabunnbunn here! I'm really sorry about the last chapter's glitches. I'm still new around here so there might be some mistakes in uploading here and there, so please, bear with me. :)
Anyway, here is the second chapter. I hope you'll like it.
Enjoy! :)
SPLASH
' I'm so screwed…'
Sakura watched in horror as the bowl of ramen and plates of pasta which have been neatly piled on her tray tipped over and landed right onto Sasuke and his buddies. His previously neat white tee and black jeans, now an ugly soaked brown color. Noodles dangled from his head and shoulders as the bowl sat upside down over his head.
Sakura watched as he slowly pulled the bowl away and turned his head towards her to give the nastiest glare.
'Shitshitshitshitshitshit…'
"I'm SO sorry Mister" the pinkette apologized over and over. "I'm really sorry, should I get some tissues and Oh! I'll pay for the cleaning or a new pair maybe…" Sakura continued to ramble on her apology. "please don't tell the manager!"
Sasuke seemed even more annoyed now "Oy pinkhead! Could you not see wherever the fuck you're walking. Do you even know how much this shirt is worth." He was livid. This stupid girl seriously messed with him on the wrong day. Firstly, he woke up sore and tired, then got a C in his business class, then the stylist in the shoot was creeping him the fuck out, then he didn't even get to have any fun after shoot, he still didn't have an assistant and NOW THIS.
She really messed up.
'This guy can't be serious…' "I'm really sorry about that. I can pay for the cleaning or I can buy you a new pair" Sakura offered again.
"This shirt is 200$ and this jeans is 350$. Do you know that?"
'No way in hell is this hella basic shirt and jeans worth 550$' "Yes, I will repay you the worth" she promised him. 'I'll have to ask Shishou for money' Sakura mentally shed some tears at the thought of having to ask her mentor for money again because SHE was too careless.
"Oh you're going to repay me when this is the kind of place you work at! I don't take payments in installments okay. What is your name anyway?" came Sasuke's irritated reply. Oh he's not gonna settle with a normal refund. This was now greater than money. He sensed so many people from the university around him.
'Okay that is just plain rude...' Thank God that the manager is out so she won't hear any of this. "First of all, my name is Sakura Haruno. And second, where I'm getting the money is my headache, you don't need to concern yourself." This Uchiha was now bordering on annoyance. Like really, it was an accident. Accidents happen. But now he's making a mountain out of anthill.
That answer made him pause.
'Sakura Haruno…' That name seemed to stir something akin to remembrance in his brain. After 2 seconds he remembered where he's seen the name.
' Sakura Haruno : Rank – 1st / Department – Toxins and medicine.'
'It's her' He looked at her with a different intention now. Then he shot her the most devilish and evil smirk, as if Satan himself had whispered an idea in his ears.
Sakura was now worried. 'Why's he smirking like that.' That was the kind of smirk that creeped her out, however minutely, especially when it's an Uchiha. 'That can't mean anything good…'
"Guys, I think I just found my new assistant." If anything, Sasuke's smirk widened even more, his eyes taking on an evil glint.
'oh hell no' "Uhm… what? What assistant?" Sakura asked in bewilderment. 'Was this guy dropped on his head as a child.'
"You heard that right. You are going to fill in the position of my assistant." Sasuke announced as if those were the words of God, decided and final.
"Uh no, I'm not. Didn't I just tell you that I will pay you on your clothes. I didn't agree to this deal."
" I don't want any of your money, keep them, you need it more anyway. I told you the only way of refund I'll accept" The smugness radiating off of his form was palpable.
Sakura was just about ready to throw hands at him. "Why would I even accept this deal. I told you I will repay you but you're still here being an asshole!" She was shouting by this point.
"Yes you will" He said with finality. Digging into his backpack, he fished out an application form and set it on the table. He picked up his bag and jacket and slung them over his shoulder. Glancing over his shoulder at her, he threw her the most infuriating comment and walked out.
"Or I'll personally make your life at university a living hell."
"Hey teme, are you actually serious about that? Making her your assistant I mean." Naruto didn't really know that girl, but he knew Sasuke. And he also knew how devious he can be when he wanted. He didn't want to subject her to that kind of misery.
"Yes, I absolutely am. Smart, punctual and organized, she's the perfect candidate for this job." And she toyed with his reputation. He can still feel everyone from the campus watching him and his soaked clothes while walking to the car.
"I dunno man. Be careful, I've heard that she has good connections with the dean and the head of the medicine department." Shikamaru tried to warn him while still yawing.
'Man, this is such a drag.'
"Yeah I'll be fine"
Naruto still wasn't convinced.
"UUGHH!"
Sakura screamed in frustration at what just happened. 'The NERVE of that guy! That ASSHOLE!' She couldn't believe that someone can be this aggravating. 'Whatever, I'll just send him the money and see if he can even hurt a hair on my head.' She thought with finality.
What's the worst he can do anyway? throw paintballs at her? stick chewing gum in her hair? She can take him on.
And now to ask for the money.
'I just hope Shishou won't kill me…'
Ring ring
Sakura waited with a baited breath for her Shishou to pick up her call. She really shouldn't be feeling this antsy.
Her eyes strayed to the crinkled form laying on her desk. 'No way in hell'
*Click* What is it , brat?
'Ah! How caring…' "Hello Shishou, good to hear that you are well." Sakura replied with a chuckle.
'Say what you want to fast. I was in the middle of something important.'
"I'll get to the point then. Today at my job, I had an unfortunate accident with food with someone from our uni, now he's demanding that I work as his assistant. So I need some money to repay him to shut him up." Sakura recounted the whole tale in one breath.
'Okay then. Message me the amount and I'll send it over.'
"Oh… okay, Thanks Shishou!" Oh, that was easy.
'Before that… what was the name of that guy you had that 'unfortunate' encounter with?'
"Oh… It's Sasuke Uchiha, the fourth's son."
'…'
"Hello? Shishou?"
'Did you… did you just say that you spilled food on Fugaku's son?' The voice asked incredulously.
"Yeah. I mean, he was being a serious asshole about it. I already told him that would repay him and apologized. It was an accident!" Sakura reasoned with her. She was getting a bad feeling with where this conversation was headed.
' Oh now you're going to accept his offer and become his assistant.' The voice from the other end said with finality.
"WHAT?! WHY?"
'Intel. He's Fugaku's heir, the next fourth. We need to know how suitable he is."
"Bu-but, he's fourth's son, you can have his whole biodata if you just ask Fugaku."
'Viper…'
That name gave Sakura a pause. No one called her that unless it was real business.
'Viper, you are being assigned to act as Sasuke Uchiha, Fugaku Uchiha's son's assistant and provide intel for us.'
This can't be happening. Why would they want to send her to do the bidding. He's one of theirs' son, they should already have enough intel on him.
But she knew she can't and won't refuse. She was given an order and she would perform it. She will perform it. She isn't doing it as Sakura Haruno.
She's doing this as White Viper.
Releasing a heavy sigh, she straightened her posture, held her head high, like a soldier on duty, and gave her answer.
"Roger, I'll send him my application today. And after joining, I'll continue sending you regular information on him."
'Yes. Good night then.' *click*
Putting her phone down, she released another heavy sigh and sat down in front of her laptop to send that jackass a confirmatory email with her resume.
Pressing the enter button, she turned off her laptop and fell heavily on her bed.
'Fuck my life…'
The computer pinged in a darkened room with a notification. A new email has just arrived.
Sasuke smirked as he looked at the contents of the email.
"Oh Haruno, you just signed off your soul off to the devil." A chuckle rang from deep within his throat as he typed his reply to Sakura.
"… starts from tomorrow 9am… personal assistant… keeping track and organizing schedule… making the work run smoothly… must be on call whenever required…"
He made sure to recheck the key notes for her job description and send it back off. As it got delivered, he made his bed to go to sleep and start early the next day.
While falling asleep, he couldn't keep the mischievous thought out of his head.
"Get ready because you have no idea what you just signed up for, pinky…"
