"A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it."

Chapter:-

She just rolled her eyes and started to walk inside her house muttering, "Freaking rich people" when he called out for her, "Ayuzawa…" she turned around and looked at him.

"I hope we can become friends." He said with a grin on his face, eyes sparkling.

She just smiled and turned around, "Good night Takumi…"

He stood there dumbfounded. This was the first time she had called him by his given name and it sounded lovely. Smiling he closed his eyes and whispered, "Good night Misaki."

The night went on just like it did every other day. Misaki entered through the front door and was a little surprised to see that not even a single light was turned on.

She frowned and tried to find her way through the dark, calling for her sister "Suzu? Where are you and why is their no light in the house?" She asked.

"Here." Came her sisters voice from the kitchen and Misaki swiftly made her way to her, "oh and there is no light because you forgot to pay the electricity bill"

Misaki sighed and wanted to slam her head on a nearby wall. How much of an idiot can I be.

"I'm so sorry Suzu, I cant believe I forgot such an important thing." She stated taking a seat next to her sister. Well at least the kitchen was not engulfed in darkness due to the candle light.

Suzu gave her sister a shake of her head with her usual stoic expression, "Don't worry. I understand, you have been a little busy these days." She passed Misaki a cup of tea with some cake.

Misaki muttered a small thanks and started eating. For a while only the sound of sipping tea could be heard as the two of them ate in silence, suddenly Misaki spoke up breaking the comfortable silence. "How's mom?"

Suzuna stood up and took the plate and cup from Misaki, turning towards the sink to wash them. "She was doing a lot better today but the doctors say that she needs to rest properly."

"I see…" was all that Misaki said and again everything was covered in silence except for the soft clinking of dishes.

The two of them took their shower and then went to sleep.

As Misaki laid on the bed she thought about everything that had happened today and unconsciously a smile made its way on her lips. Takumi Walker…

She liked this man, well not that type of like… she quickly corrected herself mentally, but she could not deny the strange push she felt towards him. He was unlike any one she knew, cold but somehow warm as well, rich but not a snob, arrogant but not overconfident, ambitious and did not like to brag or show off about his wealth and achievement.

Unlike someone she knew…

Misaki groaned and turned around only to see her cell phone blinking, she reached for it and opened it to see who it was to text so late at night, after all it was 11pm.

As soon as she read the text another smile graced her lips, she completely forget about her earlier thoughts and murmured. "Stupid boss."

She locked her phone and closed her eyes, slowly falling asleep.

Takumi on the other hand was very restless. Why you ask? Well he had two reasons, the first one being his mother who was constantly messing with his emotions, not letting him breath a single relaxing breath and the other… more comforting reason was his new secretary.

Yes Misaki… she was a wonderful woman, everything about her excluded confidence and independency. She was not the type of person who would bow down to anyone as long as they got benefited, oh no she had very high values.

Taking a sip of whiskey as he leisurely sat on his couch looking out at the sky, somehow the night full of stars and only their light reminded him of the glow in her eyes, how they shine with unsaid emotions.

Although sometimes they would be clouded just like the sky at that time. It was starting to get cold so he took another sip and sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

What were these feelings he kept having for Misaki? She was only an employee yet he was attracted towards her? On top of all that he had to find a way to save his company, he cant be having any romantic feelings!

'Well at least you agree that you feel attracted towards her…' a voice came from inside his head but he easily ignored it and took another sip from the glass.

Another few minutes passed and he could not get Misaki out of his mind, all of his thoughts led him to think about her with a smile threating to appear on his face. He put the empty glass on the table and looked at his phone. His heart was telling him to just text her but his mind fought against it, the fight went on for a while hut in the end his heart won and picking up his cell, he opened it and finding her number started tying…

"Hope you have a good sleep and maybe dream about me *wink*" he smirked.

After sending her the text he stood up and went to sleep, since he was somehow sure that she wouldn't reply and he was not proved wrong. Shaking his head lightly he fell asleep.

The next morning was a very busy one in the office as they had to attend many different meeting and scheduling everything took a lot of effort and skill but Misaki was not one to back down. She completed all of her work with great professionalism and Takumi was impressed.

Around 8 in the night they were sitting in his office, finally things had calmed down and they could relax and work easily. Takumi was going over some documents while Misaki talked to someone on the phone arranging yet another meeting for her boss.

Takumi looked up from his paper work and smiled seeing Misaki so engrossed in her work. Yes just like she said she was a competent one and perfectly able to stand beside him.

He kept his gaze on her as she talked to the other person. He noticed her every moment unconsciously, completely forgetting about his own work, the way she held the phone was so elegant, her fingers moving as they took notes were gorgeous.

Wait! What!?

Takumi blinked thrice to clear his thoughts and frowned by his own behavior. Was he just staring at her like a teenager in a one sided love? What was wrong with him.

Before he could argue with himself further on this topic, he felt someone talk to him and so he looked up meeting her steady gaze a little confused. She asked again, "How long do I have to work Walker-san?"

Hus frown deepened on the use of such honorifics but he didn't voice out his thoughts and decided to answer her question, "Ummm.. You can leave after you finish getting all the reservations."

She nodded and hummed her response, and when he thought she would leave he heard her sweet voice again and looked up at her, "Sorry what was that?"

She sighed and went out making him a little worried. Did I do something wrong? Takumi was about to get up and follow her out but she came back with a cup in her hand and put it in front of him.

"Coffee… it will help you relax a little, since you seem stressed." She said as a matter if fact and he nodded, a little relieved that she wasn't angry or something. This thought again made him frown but his train of thought was disturbed by his phone ringing.

He was glad for the disturbance and picked up without looking at the caller I.D, yet again another mistake on his part. The voice he heard on the other line belonged to his mother and he felt an intense rush of emotions.

"What do you want now woman?" he growled very rudely.

Misaki turned to look in his direction from her sitting position and raised an eyebrow, she had yet to see him talk to someone like that and the thought didn't settle well with her.

"Yeah… get to the point already." He said a little harshly, completely forgetting about her presence.

"I don't need your God damn ideas or sympathy, I will find a solution myself so stop hogging me all the time, will ya?" he finished in quite an angry voice and before the other could respond he cut the line, slamming his phone on his desk.

Misaki was quick on her toes and standing before a very angry Takumi, a little as to what happened. Even if it was only her second day working for him she hadn't seen him get so angry and neither was she expecting it.

"What was that about?" she asked leaning on the door frame.

Takumi looked up at her and sighed, releasing a long frustrated breath. "I'm sorry you had to see that." He said a little embarrassed by his outburst.

"That's okay." She smiled at him, "so what was all that?" she asked once again and he could see that she was curious to know why he behaved in such a way but he couldn't tell her so he smiled back and replied, "Nothing, just some annoying woman."

Misaki narrowed her eyes at him and shook her head, "Here I thought you were any different from those rich idiots." She said sarcastically but a small smile was present.

Takumi was now a little amused and completely forget about what had happened with his mother. Resting his elbow on the table be gave her his full attention, "Should I be offended by that comment Miss Ayuzawa." He teased.

She took this as a challenge and retorted, "I would be if I were you Mr. Walker."

Putting a hand on his heart he gasped as if in pain, "Oh now that hurts."

"Really?" she narrowed her eyes not believing him and huffed, "in that case you should stop playing with other girls."

Now Takumi was confused for real, what dies she mean by that? And then suddenly it clicked and he smirked, "Why are you jealous?"

Misaki suddenly stood up straight and blushed lightly making him chuckle, "Hah! Dream on you perverted boss." This made Takumi laugh and she stomped her feet and turned around to go back to work.

"Wait Ayuzawa…!" he called out all of a sudden and she halted. Turning around she crossed her arm and waited for him to continue which he very much did. "Can I ask you something?"

Okay this is weird. She thought and raised an eyebrow unintentionally, "It better nit be something funny." She warned and he put up his hands in the air. "Fine. Ask ahead."

He smiled, "So would you go with me to tomorrow's party?" he asked her in a small, almost pleading voice even though he was the boss he just couldn't get her to do anything he wanted.

Not that I hate that at all… he thought smugly, waiting for an answer.

"Aren't you supposed to bring a date to that sort of party?" she asked a little taken aback by his question.

He groaned and answered, "I don't want those gold diggers on my arm for an whole evening when I can spend it with good company."

"You wont get you're way through this by buttering me." She told him with a smirk.

He shrugged nonchalantly, "Never hurts to try."

"Will I get paid? Since technically I would be beside you as your Secretary. " she asked in a professional voice.

Takumi nodded seeing this as a sign of hope. Why he was doing this was beyond him but he just went with what his heart wanted. After all it was nit everyday that he wanted to take a girl somewhere out of his free will.

"Fine… I'll come." Misaki told him and left to finish her work.

Takumi gave a sharp nod and went back to doing his work with a happy smile on his face. The two if them finished about the same time, Takumi walked out to see Misaki gathering her things.

"Lets walk you home." He stated and stood waiting for her.

"It's okay Mr. Walker." She said and walked out of his office, with him following right beside her.

"Yes I know but it's late." She opened her mouth to argue but a glare from him shut her up. He pressed the elevator button and both of them stepped inside.

"Better…" he smirked.

The rest of the walk to her house was done in complete silence with both of them list deep in thought, though about different matters.
