CHAPTER 3

CALLED

Last Chapter:

"She's ugly" he tried to sound serious. Though in all honesty he could care less if she was ugly or not. He wasn't going to be the one having to look at her and talk to her everyday of her work life if he chose to hire her.

And again, Sasuke brought his right hand up to the bridge of his nose in irritation. "Let me see the photo of her in her resume"

Kakashi handed him the resume, "well there's her resume but she didn't add a photo."

"Why?"

"Because my resume is impressive what hurts it is my picture" Hinata stood up heading to the kitchen.

Fugaku, Sasuke and Kakashi sat in the conference room around a large mahogany round table. Fugaku was currently calling to confirm Hinata's references. Meanwhile Kakashi and Sasuke sat next to each other looking over Hinata's application again.

"Uh huh, yes yes" Fugaku's side of the conversation wasn't telling Sasuke or Kakashi anything so they tuned it out.

Minutes later Fugaku hung up after promising to meet up with the president of the Montreal bank the upcoming Wednesday at an exclusive club. The older Uchiha sighed even though he was highly amused, not to mention curious of his son's reaction to hiring an ugly woman. "Well, I've confirmed it"

This regained both Sasuke's and Kakashi's attention. Sasuke spoke up, "And?"

"It's true. He told me she is a brilliant woman. Hardworking, honest and flexible for work."

Sasuke couldn't stop himself, "Well if she's as ugly as Kakashi says she is then I imagine its lack of a social life"

Kakashi started to snigger until he caught sight of Fugaku. His traces of finding the comment funny gone. Sasuke's father shook his head. "Even if she is just as ugly as the president of the bank and Kakashi say it does not matter. She is the best suited to become your secretary."

Sasuke made a face to this than had Fugaku not been there Kakashi would have teased Sasuke for it. Fugaku got up from his chair continuing what they had told him, "he also highly recommended her. He went on to say that she is very smart, he would wager that she could replace anyone in his bank with ease and we would be doing ourselves the favor of hiring her."

Sasuke turned to Kakashi, "Is she THAT ugly?"

Kakashi raised an eyebrow, "How should I put this?" He tapped his chin with his finger, "She doesn't have a pretty face, her body is shapeless and she dresses like something out of a horror movie. She doesn't have an appearance that would suit this job as the president's secretary."

Fugaku made his way to the double wooden sliding doors out, "It's up to you Sasuke. Weren't you the one who wanted a capable secretary? So it should not matter if she's ugly... right?"

The younger Uchiha nodded, "Hm yeah, well..." he turned his attention to Kakashi, "Kakashi, contact her and arrange for us to meet tomorrow. Then we will see just how ugly she really is."

"Face it Shino, I'm too ugly to work in a place like this" Hinata held up a magazine with an article of Sharingan Co. The photo starred Fugaku and his wife, Mikoto. 'What was I thinking? I can't fit into a fashion industry'

"Hey look at this" Shino took the magazine from her reading the article under one of the various photos of the Uchiha's. "Sharingan Co., one of the most promising companies led by Fugaku Uchiha is having their annual fashion show with all of the elite fashion icons of the world tonight. The event hosted by Mr. Uchiha and his wife Mikoto Uchiha have informed us that next month they will be leaving to live in their comfortable London home. This will leave the company in Fugaku's youngest son's hands."

Hinata had been leaning into Shino's shoulder both listening and reading at the same time. "They look like a happy couple." Shino commented.

Taking a closer look at the photo Hinata didn't see a happy couple in the picture. Sure the wife looked happy but that didn't mean she was right? For all they knew she could have been keeping up appreances. As for the soon to be ex-president of Sharingan Co. he held an expressionless mask. Hinata went on to read the rest of the article on her would have been bosses.

Pictures flashed near the entrance. Their photos catching this event forever. Mikoto walked with her arm linked in her husbands' arm. "Dear what is the matter with you?" she smiled for the cameras.

Fugaku shook his head, "Nothing"

"But you've been acting strangely all night" she pressed. "Are you sure you're ready to let this company go?"

Fugaku sighed. Lying to everyone had been easy for him, lying to his wife was a completely different story. "I'm sure I am. This company needs to be led by someone younger, fresher. Besides, I've worked to hard to build this from the ground up."

"I know dear" she let him continue while they walked. She occasionally smiled at the other guests.

"This retiring business is just causing some conflict with the Haruno family. I wouldn't have minded if Sakura had taken the company into her hands but she voted for Sasuke to lead instead. Look," He motioned to Sasuke and another man in the hallway. "Its even causing problems between my own two sons."

Sasuke glared up to his older brother. At times he did not even try to hide it from some of the models walking past them. How he hated his older brother. Wasn't it enough that Itachi had his own company going? There was no way he would be able to run his own company AND Sharingan Co. right?

"Are you enjoying the party little brother?" Itachi asked before sipping his drink very briefly. "Because you should. This may as well be the last Sharingan Co. party that any of us attend. Unless you plan on having an after party for when you destroy this company that is."

"You enjoy the party Itachi because the next time we get together like this is when we celebrate the increase in sales and maybe even another company set up across the country"

Just when Itachi was about to say something he stopped himself merely smiling at his younger brother. Their father had just walked up to them, "I hope that you two are not arguing again.

"It's more of a debate" Itachi put in.

"Itachi here hasn't been able to accept that you've chosen me as the next president" Sasuke's smug smile irritated Itachi.

"Itachi I thought it was clear that if Sasuke cannot complete his promised sales at the end of one year then he is to step down and let you run the company. I don't see what there is to argue about. You both agreed to this."

Itachi snorted, "Please, letting Sasuke run the company is like putting a body in a cremation oven and expecting it to survive. You may as well give me its ashes to bury in one year"

"You-" Sasuke was interrupted by his father.

"Enough. This discussion is over." He put his hand up to stop whatever Itachi was about to say, "At least until the next meeting"

"Sorry to interrupt" A man in a brown leather jacket, black slacks and gray undershirt held up a camera at them, "Its for our magazine"

Turning to his younger brother Itachi smirked, "Smile little brother, it might be the last time you do"

"we'll see in a year won't we"

The man from the magazine adjusted his camera and took a picture of the three Uchiha men standing together. It was easy to tell that they were related with their raven hair, onyx eyes and pale skin. Even if the two brothers clearly wished that they weren't.

At home Hinata sat with Shino on her bed reading over the article. "I didn't know that they had another successor to the company. I thought the Uchiha family were the ones who ran everything" Hinata looked over another photo. Her eyes not leaving the picture of Itachi Uchiha.

"I didn't know either" Shino looked at the same photo then up to Hinata.

"Well either way they look like a united family don't they?"

Shino nodded, "Well with the passing of Sakura's parents I suppose they had no other choice" he briefly skimmed over another small paragraph, "hm, or maybe that's not the only reason" he pointed to the next paragraph.

She went on to read the caption under another picture, "Sasuke Uchiha and his beloved girlfriend Sakura Haruno of two years. Not only are these two united by the company both of their families founded but soon they will be united by marriage as well."

"Marriage?" Shino noticed Hinata's look. He knew she was the type of girl who used to fantasize about her wedding day. She dreamed of her white wedding constantly looking at magazines for the perfect flowers and whatnot. That was until they reached the end of highschool and she realized she'd never had a boyfriend in her life. Shino had stopped hearing her wedding plans since graduation and for fear of bringing up a touchy subject he avoided it.

Hinata flipped a page in the magazine to which Shino stopped her, "Who's that?" he pointed to a picture of two beautiful women. One was clearly Sakura Haruno, her pink hair unmistakeable. The other was blonde and absolutely gorgeous; in most men's opinon.

Instantly recognizing the blonde beauty Hinata spoke up, "thats Ino, the pretty one who was practically hired today"

Shino took the magazine into his hands to get a better look. Hinata went on, "I don't understand. If she's in a picture with the future presidents wife then why did she even apply? Couldn't she just have asked for the job instead? She's obviously got connections with the family"

"Not only that but she looks like she has some serious money too. Look at her diamond necklace, her diamond earrings." Shino observed.

"Yeah" Hinata sighed dreamily at the picture of Sasuke and Sakura kissing. The caption read, "Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno moments after announcing their marriage in September."

Thinking of something to cheer her up Shino was about to say something but it was lost when the house phone rang. "I got it" Hinata got up from her bed jogging slightly downstairs to her house phone. "Hello?"

"Yes hello, could I speak with a Hinata Hyuuga?"

"That's me" Hinata gave Shino a thumbs up when he walked through the door. "Yes, tomorrow at nine"

Shino grabbed an apple from a crystal bowl on her dining table. He wiped it on his shirt then took a bite eyeing Hinata. By the time he had taken three bites Hinata was done. She hung up the phone, her smile brightening up both of their moods. "Who was it?"

"Sharingan Co. they want me to go in tomorrow so I can speak to the president of the company himself" she couldn't contain her excited squeals.

"I refuse to have Ino as my secretary. The only thing you want is to help her financial situation and pin her on me." Sasuke stood in the doorway of his soon to be office. His shoulder leaned against the wooden frame as he looked at his fiance. "You only want her to hover over me while I work and monitor my phone calls. That way you know what I do all of the time."

"No that's not why. But even if it were what's the problem? Didn't you say that you would change?" Sakura rose from her chair making her way to Sasuke.

"Sakura, I don't like to be watched all of the time. I don't need a babysitter."

"Fine, if you don't want to be watched there must be a reason." she eyed him suspiciously before going on, "so what are you going to do? Ino presented herself in the interview just like everone else. And she was the one Kakashi deemed as perfect for your secretary. Face it, Ino is the smartest out of all of the women who came to apply."

"In that, you're wrong" Sasuke walked away from Sakura. "I've already had it arranged. She's coming here tomorrow." He picked up Hinata's file, "Here you can read it yourself. She has top grades, top references and has plenty of experience in finances not to mention she graduated with honors."

Sakura eyed the file in his hands almost as if it would light on fire at her will. Just when Sasuke thought Sakura was going to say something mean she laughed, "Well isn't she miss perfect then"

Sasuke put the file down, "Look I've only made it to where I'll be meeting her tomorrow. Let's make a deal. I'll ask her some questions and if I don't like her I will hire Ino instead. Deal?"

Pursing her lips Sakura crossed her arms and smiled, "Alright, I'm sorry." She walked over to him kissing him on the cheek, "Forgive me?"
