*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
Sakura POV
After I knocked I heard a quick "Come in" said from Neji.
"Hello Hyuuga-Sama. Here is your coffee just the way you like it; here are the files and documents that need your looking over before signing; and your schedule for today is:
You have a meeting with Nar- uh- Uzamaki-San from 9:00 to 10:00.
Then your Uncle requested a short 30 minute meeting to discuss finances.
Then you are free from 10:30 until 12:00 for lunch.
Then from 12:45 to 4:00 you have a meeting with Uchiha Sasuke to discuss mer-"
At my sudden pause Neji looked up at me with curious eyes.
"What is it Haruno?"
"W- We are merging with Uchiha Corporation? I thought they were our biggest competitors? You constantly remark about how the thought of his company and yours merging was a disgrace to mankind!"
Neji just watched me the whole time I ranted. He would quirk his eyebrow every now and then, but didn't say anything until I was finished.
"Yes I have said that and do still think of this as a disgrace, but my Uncle is the one who talked to Fugaku Uchiha and they have made a settlement together and now Uncle wants the two companies to merge and become one. I don't like it, but Uncle is the boss. And I hate Uchiha Sasuke's assistants. Kimimaru and Juugo. The like to run their mouths about everything and can't keep their hands off anything or any female." Neji seemed to get angrier as he spoke.
I was shocked to say the least. Neji Hyuuga has never spoken this much to me since the day I started. Wow. I can tell he really does NOT like the idea of the two companies merging, but he does have a point, his Uncle is the boss.
I can also agree with him about Uchiha's assistants. I have only had the pleasure of meeting Juugo once, and trust me that was enough. The name Kimimaru though brought back painful memories. He is my ex. Gah this could not be happening. I hate that jerk. We started dating in college, and everything was perfect. We went out every night, had multiple sleepovers, and all in all had an amazing relationship; until that one night. I came home one evening from one of my night classes and found Kimimaru completely naked, draped over an equally naked red head girl. I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought that we had an amazing relationship and thought he was the one, and then it all hit me. He wasn't the one. I couldn't believe I didn't see it coming or anything. I stormed passed them to our joined room, packed up my stuff, and left him to be with his new toy. I was furious. I walked around for an hour just crying my eyes out. But that was almost three years ago. This is now. I wonder what working with him is going to be like.
After my momentary lapse of attention, I snapped back to reality.
"Is there anything I can get you before your day officially begins sir?" I asked politely.
"Yes actually, two Excedrin and a bottle of water. I can already feel a headache coming on." He replied while rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"Yes sir. I will get that for you right away." I said turning around and about to walk out, but his voice stopped me dead in my tracks.
"By the way, you are coming with me to the Uchiha meeting you know. You are my assistant after all." He said this with a smirk on his face, like he knew something.
I sighed in defeat and replied, "Yes. Of course."
…Now I know what that strange feeling was earlier.
I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE TO SEE THAT JACK ASS AGAIN.
Calm down. You screaming don't help the situation at all.
Heh, sorry… What are we gonna do bout this?
We have to stay professional and work with them….. Unfortunately.
During my conversation with Inner, I got Neji his Excedrin and water, then went back to my desk right outside his office and got to work. At about 8:45 Neji came out of his office to meet me, and we headed towards the conference room that the meeting was scheduled in.
The meeting was uneventful as usual. Naruto talked about ramen and his upcoming date with Neji's cousin Hinata. Then we finally got to talking bout the accounting department and financing for it, when there was about 30 minutes left. Ha-ha, leave it to Naruto to waste the first 30 minutes of the meeting talking about his personal life.
After the meeting with Naruto was over, Neji had me run out and get him and myself some lunch from the sushi place down the street. When I got back I took his order to him then went back to my desk to eat.
I kept looking at the clock every five minutes when I was finished eating. It was getting closer and closer to 12:45. My palms were sweating from the nerves running through my body like a thousand bees in a hive. I looked at the clock again: 12:30.
Well I guess I better shut everything down for the day and get ready to leave. I hope he doesn't say or do anything stupid…
Maybe if he does, Neji will be your knight in shining armor and will rescue you from the evil ex-boyfriend.
I doubt that. Neji doesn't think of me in that way. But that would be nice if it were to happen. Ah he could wisp me off my feet and take me home. He would proclaim his love for me and whisper sweet nothings in my ear. Then he would take me to bed all night and we would have hot, steamy, animalistic sex until the sun rose….
Animalistic? O.o
I don't know. Neji is so quiet, he seems like the type of guy that could r=be really rough, and dominating, and kinky in bed.
Hm, true. Well better leave me now. Neji is coming out of his office now.
I looked up when Inner said this and sure enough, Neji was locking his door with briefcase in hand. After slipping his suit jacket on he turned to me.
"Ready?" He asked in his oh so sexy boss voice.
"Yes sir, I'm ready." As ready as I'll ever be, considering.
"Okay, then let's go."
And with that, I grabbed my things, and walked out behind Neji into the elevator.
