Chapter 4
Kagome and Sango walked along Fifth Avenue after unpacking at their hotel. They have just about three days before working on board the flight en route to Paris. In the midst of chatting among the two ladies, Kagome's phone started to ring.
'It's Kaede.' The manager who trained all flight attendants. 'That's odd, I wonder why she's calling' . As soon as Kagome picked up, a frantic voice spoke.
"Kagome ! I need you to do me a huge favour sweetie, this is absolutely urgent."
" Is everything okay Kaede?"
" Well yes and no, depending on how you look at it. Yes because you're about to do me and Shikon Air a huge favour and no if you don't do it in time"
"Do what exactly..?" Kagome is getting slightly nervous, considering how whatever that Kaede is requesting her to do involves her company and its reputation as well.
"I know it's not a part of your job but this is a special case , it involves one of our biggest sponsors who...uh, well, left an important file on the plane and I need you to deliver it to him"
"Who am I delivering it to?" Kagome was skeptical. Why not have someone else deliver it? Why her?
"It's Inuyasha Takahashi" Breath caught in Kagome's mouth. Is she serious? That arrogant jackass?
"But Kaede-"
"Kagome I am talking about a 3 million dollar in sponsorships a year from his company, we can't afford to screw this up, not to mention you did a good job serving him on the plane since he is the one requesting you to personally deliver this file"
Silence ensued. He wants her to personally deliver it? Who does he take her as? Some delivery girl? What the heck ! He's totally ruining her mini vacation. This is the last thing she needed. Sango is now looking at Kagome with curiosity out of the corner of her eyes.
Kaede coughed on the other line " I might just give you a raise after"
Kagome groaned. " Okay. But I am only doing this for you" she knows Kaede have to deal with upper management so she is under pressure too, she didn't want to make this difficult for her. Not to mention, a raise on her paycheque sounds pretty nice.
"Thank you so much sweetie. Please deliver it by tonight before 9 PM at the Four Season hotel, it will be the penthouse on the 52nd floor. The file is in the management office at the airport"
'Of course he's staying at one of the most expensive hotels in New York, that penthouse at Four season averages around $30,000 a night.'
"It's not a problem Kaede, I'll let you know once it's delivered" with that, Kagome ended the call.
"What happened?" asked Sango
"I have to deliver some file to Takahashi since he forgot it on the airplane" Kagome groaned
"You have to personally?"
"Apparently he requested" she rolled her eyes.
Sango snickered "I knew it ! I knew he had the hots for you, I saw it in his eyes every time he looked at you on the plane. Looks like you won the jackpot Kagome"
"What jackpot? He's not my type. He's arrogant, cocky and a total player " Kagome huffed.
"How can someone like him not be a player though, he's practically oozing of sexiness"
"Sango ! you're supposed to be on my side !" Kagome nudged her best friend
" I totally am, I am just keeping things in perspective for you! Can you imagine the number of women who would love to have his attention! "
"I don't want his attention, ugh, I was looking forward to having a nice relaxing night tonight too"
"That's true..I wish I could go with you, but I have to visit Kohaku at NYU tonight" Sango smiled apologetically
"No worries Sango, you haven't seen him in a year, go have a nice dinner with your brother and catch up. Give Kohaku my regards " Kagome smiled. She didn't want to drag Sango into this.
Kagome looked down at her watch - 6:35 PM. Getting to the airport and retrieving the file will take about 45 minutes , it will take about another half an hour to taxi back with the assumption that traffic flow is decent. This will give her enough time to shower before heading to the Four Season hotel where Mr. narcissist is staying if everything goes according to plan.
She sighed. It's time to hustle.
Sorry for the late update ! School is such a pain, I am going to try to update faster once finals are finished. Have a great weekend lovelies. xoxo.
