"Where's my lovely assistant, I'm behind, I need to know where to start and the things in my old office need to move," Kagome explained once her assistant showed up,
"You're things have already been moved, here are your clients, they send their sympathies, but you should call them back," her personal assistant explained. Kagome opened the door, there were flowers and gift baskets everywhere,
"Wow, um Kiyoshi, are these from the employees or our clients?" Kagome standing in the doorway.
"Your personal clients Kagome, I'm sorry…" Kiyoshi being interrupted,
"I can't, please, just give me the names of who I need to thank and the ones I need to call back for making appointments with them," Kagome explained.
"The names are all here on this page," Kiyoshi showing her the list,
"Thank you, can you send a memo to everyone for next Saturday, we will be honoring my family and it will give them a chance to get to know Seiji, there will be a dinner held at Seiji's home, he is arranging for their transportation there, thanks Kiyoshi," Kagome looking around at the office, nothing had been moved, everything was the same, and it would remain the same, even her father's name plaque would stay in its place. Kiyoshi walked out and started her assignment, Kagome started to get too emotional so she went and opened the door, she went and got a strong cup of tea, and stopped by Seiji's office.
"I made the dinner plans at your father's place for next Saturday so everyone's plans don't get screwed up," Kagome explained,
"I'll call my father and inform him of it now, thank you for telling me," Seiji nodded. Kagome shut the door and went back to her office, she sat down and started calling her clients to thank them for their gifts and their sympathy, by the time she was finished she was drained from trying to keep her emotions from spilling out into the open and fell asleep at her desk. Seiji later came in her office with the papers and the lawyer as a witness.
"Oh my, seems as if her clients held great respect for her father, for her whole family really, wake her up, let her read the paper and sign, then take her home, her brother will need to be checked on as well perhaps you should stay as well, you did sign onto taking care of them for the two years as well, fix them a nice dinner tonight," the lawyer smiled.
"Old man, do not remind me of my duties," Seiji a bit coolly,
"Kagome, hey Kagome, Seiji shaking her arm,
"Sango…five more minutes please," Kagome mumbled, Seiji froze stiff.
~There's no way it could be her, impossible!~ he thought,
"Kagome, wake up, you infuriating woman!" Seiji shaking her more roughly.
"What the hell!" Kagome jerked up, she saw Seiji and the lawyer,
"Oh, um, I must have…" Kagome looking around and being interrupted,
"You fell asleep, the agreement is ready for you to look at and to sign," Seiji explained.
"Right," Kagome taking the paper she started to read it as she rubbed her temple close to her stitches,
"I advise you to stop before you pull your stitches out, I'll load the car with your gifts and come back and escort you home," Seiji strongly.
"That's not necessary I have clients…" Kagome being interrupted again,
"That will be here waiting for you when you return on Monday," Seiji explained.
"Must you interrupt me when I am talking, I don't want to go home, I don't… I cannot stand to be there, in that empty house," Kagome returning to the contract,
"You need your rest and not to mention you have a sibling to care for," Seiji explained and left with a load of baskets and flowers which with his strong sense of smell caused him to sneeze.
"Infuriating man, my father must think this is one hilarious show he is watching," Kagome mumbled,
"Your father just wants to make sure you are safe, that's all," the lawyer explained.
"He could have picked someone else to watch over us," Kagome trying to read the contract,
"The Tashio's are fine, strong, powerful people, once you work out your differences it wont be so bad," the lawyer giving her a simple smile.
"Look, I'm sorry about what I said in the boardroom, I just my family, and I am just, I have a lot to deal with right now," Kagome sighing as she finally read over the contract and signed.
"That's why your father arranged for Seiji to help out, it will work out, you'll see, and try to get along with Seiji, he has done nothing wrong," the lawyer explained.
"Yeah, I'll try," Kagome sighed as she held her head, Seiji came back in and grabbed the last load and took down.
~We did agree on something I guess.~ Kagome glancing at him. She knew she had all this anger built up inside for the idiots that had hit their parent's car, and she was taking it all out on the lawyer and all the other men including her partner and they did deserve some of it but maybe not the whole blow up in the boardroom. Finally Seiji came back with his driver, Seiji came over and picked her up in his arms.
"I can walk you know, I'm not helpless," Kagome spat,
"I know, you need rest though," Seiji taking her out of the room, the driver grabbed her crutches and followed. Kiyoshi had jogged by Kagome,
"Kiyoshi, my clients, can you come to the house, I need to get back to work, my clients are waiting, I can't keep them waiting," Kagome strongly.
"Kagome, your clients are sympathetic to you and your family, take a weekend and relax and get some sleep and rest, Kiyoshi, Kagome will not need you to come over," Seiji explained.
"Make sure you pass out that memo," Kagome explained,
"I've got it typed up, here, read it and make sure this is what you like," Kiyoshi handing it to her to review the memo. Kagome read it,
"Thanks, that will work," Kagome smiled.
"Take good care of her Mr. Tashio," Kiyoshi nervously,
"It's Seiji and I will make sure she gets plenty of rest," Seiji walking away to the elevator.
