I don't own CCS…
Beautiful eyes
"Mhm? Can I help you with anything?" Sakura asked the young man.
"Ah yeah I'm here to see Eriol" he said wincing.
"Do you have an appointment with Hiiragizawa-san? He seemed quite busy this morning, and I'm not sure if he's taking any visits" Syaoran clenched his fists at the attitude the obviously new secretary Eriol had gotten. But hid his anger because it was his crush when he was in elementary.
"I do, he's expecting my presence" he answered. She looked him in the eye.
They got lost in a trance. Sakura wasn't sure what this feeling was but it certainly didn't feel good. Her eyes started to get watery so she had to break the trance. She looked away.
"I'll let him know you're here" she took the phone to dial Eriol.
"Yeah" he said simply having noticed her sad eyes and wanted to ask her what was wrong but didn't have the courage to do so.
It was obvious she hadn't recognized him, or had she? He wasn't sure.
"Hiiragizawa-san, someone is here to see you his name is…" she looked up the figure. She was about to ask his name when Eriol responded "Oh he's finally here. Let him in"
"Yes sir" Sakura hung up.
"Hiiragizawa-san is waiting for you" she said sounding a little embarrassed. She was aware she had sounded rude at the beginning, but she couldn't help it. He hadn't knocked the door and had probably heard her rant over her first love. But she couldn't shake off the feeling that was going all over her body. Her heart was feeling heavy and hurt. Syaoran walked towards the door of the main office.
"Hey Eriol"
"My dear cousin, you're finally here" he snickered.
"What happened to you're old secretary?" he questioned right away.
"Ayuzawa-san? I still have her, the girl outside will be your new secretary" Syaoran's mouth dropped.
Syaoran couldn't believe his cousin he had unknowingly chosen his old crush as his secretary and without his authorization.
"Kinomoto-san? Why her?"
"You know her? Never mind that you're mother told me to chose all your staff for you and well her knowledge in our business is incredible"
Syaoran didn't know whether this was good or bad. He didn't like her anymore so there shouldn't be a problem with that.
"Oh thanks for handling all that for me" he said sarcastically. His cousin smiled warily he had noticed Syaoran had an objection with her.
"Well why don't we go tell her who her new boss will be" he said getting up.
"No that's fine.." Syaoran said getting in his way.
"I'll let her know personally" Eriol couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"But I have to say my goodbyes to her, so I'll just go and tell her I'm leaving her with her new boss. Then, you can go and tell her who's in charge. How about it?" he smirked and exited the room.
"Ok sure" Syaoran went to take a seat at his desk. Everything was set for him to start working. His mother had insisted that he let his cousin handle the company until he finished university. As soon as he had graduated he had packed everything and taken the first flight to Japan. But to his surprise Sakura was working for him, as his personal secretary.
"Umm Sakura-chan, I have to talk to you about something" Eriol said gleefully.
"Hiiragizawa-san, go ahead and tell me" she smiled.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Eriol?" he smiled "well it's actually sad news. I won't be in charge of this establishment anymore. I have to return to England." Sakura's smile disappeared. "But, you will be staying here" he said.
"Umm ok, Eriol. Does Tomoyo know about all this?" She asked. Eriol's expression changed drastically.
"Not yet, I'm about to tell her about all this. I'm going to go do it right now. Bye Sakura-chan!" he left in a hurry.
Sakura was left perplexed, she knew her cousin would suffer without him. Tomoyo was slowly falling for Eriol, he had been calling her at all times of the day trying to get a date with her. She had been playing hard to get because she didn't want to get hurt. But slowly she was giving into his words and now with this, she would ultimately get hurt. Something else crossed her mind. Who was she working for now? The door of the main office opened and the young man came into view. He stood in front of her, she eyed him from head to toe.
"Kinomoto-san I will be your new boss" she nodded her head. Well at least she knew that much.
"Yes sir, what's your name?" he seemed to flinch.
"Li Syaoran" the beautiful pair of green emeralds began to fill with tears of sadness.
"What did you say?" tears rolled down her cheeks. She had dreaded that name for years now. He had made her fall in love with him and she hadn't been able to forget his name.
"Kinomoto-san is there something wrong?" She finally took a good look at him. It was him, it really was Syaoran the jerk who had toyed with her feelings. Sakura had never dated anyone throughout high school or university, she wanted to remain single for life because she didn't want to cry for a guy ever again. However, there she was crying again for the same guy, 12 years later. She stood up.
"Excuse me, Li-san" she exited the room and headed to the restroom.
Syaoran stood there in a state of shock. Why had she cried? He didn't understand her at all; all he had said was his name. Also, she didn't even remember how he looked, why would she remember his name only?
Once Sakura reached the restrooms, she started sobbing. She couldn't stop it, it didn't make sense. Hadn't she left him in the past? She was only in the 4th grade! Why couldn't she make all this pain go away. She took a deep breath and started dialing Tomoyo.
"(sniff sniff) Hello" Tomoyo was crying as well. Eriol had probably told her he was leaving.
"What's wrong Tomo-chan?" she sobbed.
"You know what's wrong, but why are you crying?" she asked.
"Tomo-chan, I'm sorry about Eriol. And, and Syaoran is my new boss!" they both began to cry. When Tomoyo was finally able to talk she questioned Sakura.
"Wait Syaoran?"
"Mhm… Li Syaoran. The same one who broke my heart in elementary"
"That's not so bad Sakura, I mean you get a second chance with him. But Eriol he's leaving me for good"
"Never! You don't get it Tomoyo, because of him I want to be single!" she said exasperatingly.
"Ok ok, calm down. Aren't you at work?"
"Yes, I have to get back"
"Wait, do you think you could accompany me to dinner with Eriol tonight? He said that only few people were invited to see him off. And I don't want to go alone" Sakura didn't feel like going anywhere but she knew her cousin needed her there. She sighed.
"Yes I will, I got to go now bye bye"
"Bye bye" she clicked the phone. She dried her tears, her eyes looked puffy. She couldn't do anything about it because she had left her purse on her desk.
She walked into her office space, Syaoran was leaning on her desk. A hand on his chin, he slowly looked up to see her puffy eyes. His heart gave a small jump, he didn't like seeing her that way.
"Sorry Li-san, I wasn't expecting Hiiragizawa-san to leave" she lied. Syaoran narrowed his eyes, so she wasn't crying for him he thought. A hint of jealousy surrounded him, he swatted away the idea. He shouldn't care about the type of relationship they shared, he didn't like her anymore. Plus he was going out with Hikari Aihara, one of the most beautiful models in Asia.
"That's fine, so what are you working on?" Sakura handed him the paper work. It was all organized and ready for him to look at.
"Ok thanks, come with me so I can give you something else to organize.. And it needs to be coordinated accordingly to the sales from this month. Can you do that?" he took a quick glance at her. She nodded silently, there was infinite sadness in her beautiful eyes. She finally looked up to face him, their eyes locked; she was about to say something when the door popped open.
"Syao-kun, baby I missed you!" Hikari rushed to hug her boyfriend.
"Hikari, I missed you too" he gave her a peck on the lips. Sakura felt her heart break into a million pieces. She took the new paperwork and exited the main office.
"Oh and Kinomoto-san" Syaoran looked around the room, she wasn't there anymore.
Author's note: AAAAh I know how can he do that in front of her? IDK. He's just a jerk! Hope you didn't hate this chapter as much as I did. Please review!
For those who kept asking me about Haruhi and Hikari.. Well I had made a silly mistake because I was distracted hehe.
