Syaoran's POV
"What the hell is this? You call this a report? Look over this 10 more times before showing it to me! What am I paying you for?" I yelled at Hanazono of the Finance department.
And to emphasize my anger, I ripped the report into two and walked out of the conference room.
Damn it. Get a hold of yourself, Li.
I fucking hate this month. I tapped my foot impatiently on the floor as I wait for my private elevator. I knew that my staff who were waiting in the same hallway for their lift has scurried away in order to get out of my wrath. I can't blame them. I am seriously fuming mad at that stupid report. It was a report on the company's finance damnit. It's supposed to be correct and obviously, my trained eyes has spotted a few mistakes on the first 4 pages. What's the point of going through the rest right? I'll just be wasting my time.
I stepped in my lift and I can almost see the elevator girl praying to whoever her gods are. I glanced at the mirrors and saw that the girl has all the reasons to be scared. I took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of my nose. I stepped out of the elevator and walked briskly to my office.
"Don't let anyone disturb me for an hour, Rachel. If it is important, tell them to call me again after an hour. No excuses. I do not want any kind of disturbance, do you understand?"
The poor secretary squeaked a "Yes, Mr. Li"
He slammed the door shut and quickly loosened his tie. He took off his blazer and sank on his chair. He called up Yamazaki in his personal mobile and on the second ring he answered.
"Nothing, Syaoran. Still nothing. I can't believe this."
"WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH HER, TAKASHI?! WHO IS SHE?"
"I honestly have no idea, Syaoran. All I know is that she is a very important person and a well-connected one to have no database or whatsoever! I am frustrated too, man! This is bruising my ego badly!"
"Why can't Chiharu tell you where she is?"
"You think I haven't tried that all these years, man? Those girls' loyalty to each other are the bomb, Syaoran. You know Eriol is in the same predicament as I am. Worse, even. Tomoyo is her cousin after all."
"FUCK WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?! IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS GODDAMMIT!" Syaoran took who-knows-what from his table and threw it to the opposite wall. A loud CRASH can be heard even from the outside of his office, despite his room being sound-proofed. He is getting tired of this cat and mouse chase but he just cannot forget her.
He fucking love her.
So much. Fucking so much.
He doesn't want to look at another woman.
She has already taken his heart from three years ago, damnit.
"I don't know man, every time I thought I have something on her, my access suddenly gets denied. I did show you the warning notices I've received the past three years, you have to agree whoever or whatever is hiding her is pretty powerful. And scary at most. I think my computer's been shot down twenty times just this year even if I tried different IP addresses. They are smart, Syaoran. And they are serious in hiding her."
"I don't care Takashi. I'll find her this year. I know I will. Thanks man. See you tonight."
He unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt as he swiveled his chair to look outside.
He took off his ring and clenched his fist around it.
"Sakura, where are you? Do you truly not want me to find you? Was what you said then, truly what you want?"
