Normal POV

Sakura followed Neji into the elevator, trying to calm her nerves about the upcoming meeting.

"Haruno. I want you to take very careful, very detailed notes today. I don't want any tiny important detail left out. I want to make sure that they are not trying to throw any type of loophole to pull the company down."

"Yes sir. Would you like me to use the reorder and record the entire meeting as well?" Sakura asked while looking through her purse to double check and make sure she had the recorder.

"Yes Haruno. That would be a very good idea. Your notes are always amazing, but we can't take risks with this meeting." Neji replied politely.

Sakura POV

"Sakura." I said.

Neji looked at me like I had a second head.

"What?"

"Sir. My name is Sakura. Please call me Sakura. We have worked together for over a year now and I would like to think that we have become acquainted enough that you can call me by my first name." I said with a small smile on my face.

"Alright Sakura, You make a good point." A smirk graced his face.

"Thank you Hyuu-"

"Neji-san."

I felt a tiny blush spread across my cheeks and my smile grow.

"Thank you Neji-san."

AH! He is calling me by my first name now and he is even letting me call him by his first name. Oh if only we weren't goin to this meeting I would say this day could not go wrong.

OMG! This is sooooo what we needed. A little pick me up before our face plant at this meeting.

Tell me bout it.

TIME SKIP TO THE OFFICE FOR THE MEETING

We arrived at the Uchiha Corporation, neither of us too excited to be here. I kept fidgeting with my bag and pants and pretty much anything I could. I'm terribly nervous about this meeting. Neji was starting to take notice.

"What is wrong Sakura?" He asked without even turning to look at me.

"Uh N-Nothing. I just…" I couldn't think of an intelligent excuse.

I should tell him. At least he will know my discomfort and maybe feel some sympathy for me and try to end the meeting early.

OOOHHH! Knight in shining armor.

"Well spit it out already." Neji said a little impatiently. We were already in the elevator on our way up to Sasuke Uchiha's floor.

*Sigh* "Uchiha-san's assistant Kimimaru is my ex-boyfriend. I caught him cheating on me one night and I have not talked to him since. So you see I'm just a little nervous about being around him is all. Nothing to worry about Neji-san, I will try not to let it affect my work." I said while straightening my back, trying to compose myself. Neji just gave me a sideways glance and nodded his head in understanding.

The elevator dinged once it reached our floor and we stepped out. We met the receptionist at the front counter. She was very pretty, with short violetish colored hair and stunning pearl colored eyes. She looked up from her computer and welcomed us with a timid smile.

"H-Hello. How may I help you? OH! Neji-ni-san is that you?" The girl asked looking around me.

"Yes. Hello Hinata. How are you?" Neji replied curtly.

"Good. You are here for the meeting with Uchiha-san I presume. I will show you to the conference room that you will be using. Oh. By the way I'm Hinata, Neji's cousin. And you are?"

"Sakura Haruno, Neji's assistant. It's very nice to meet you." I told the girl as Neji and I followed her to the conference room.

"Nice to meet you too. Uchiha-san should be right with you."

"Thank you Hinata." Neji said. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this. Neji never thanks anyone.

While we waited for Uchiha-san to arrive, I took the liberty to get out my notebook and pen, and the recorder. I wanted to be ready to go. We sat waiting for about 10 minutes before the door opened and 3 men walked in. One man, Juugo, Was a very tall man. Almost 7 feet tall with brown hair and a creepy smile. Then after Juugo was the infamous Sasuke Uchiha with his raven black hair and onyx eyes. Last to walk in was my worst nightmare. Kimimaru. He still had his same shoulder length white hair and red tattoos adorning his body. My heart and breathing stopped for a second. It took him a second to realize who I even was, but once he did a giant grin spread across his face the made an uneasy feeling settle in the pit of my stomach.

This is going to be a long meeting.

Tell me bout it. Look at that creepy grin. He won't stop staring at us. Bleh!

We went around and briefly introduce ourselves and the meeting began. I had the unfortunate pleasure of having Kimimaru sitting right across from me, and he just would not stop staring. He was making it very hard to concentrate on taking notes.

Sasuke and Neji talked for another hour bout this and that before it was decided that we would take a quick 10 minute break to get snacks and drinks to reenergize. I walked out of the room and headed in the direction of the girls restroom, when a hand shot out and grabbed my arm, and drug me into one of the empty hallways next to me. The person pushed me against the wall and covered my mouth with his hand. I looked up into the eyes of my jackass ex-boyfriend and shot him the meanest glare I could muster. After a minute he finally took his hand off of my mouth and I was able to speak.

"What the hell do you want?" I asked with hatred in every word.

"My, My. The cherry blossom scored her a decent job after all. Did you have to sleep with him to hire you?"

"No you inconsiderate asshole. I earned my job for my impressive resume and qualities. Now if you will excuse me, I need to use the restroom and get back to the meeting." I said in my most professional voice. Surprisingly he let me pass, but I didn't miss the next words that came from his mouth.

"This is going to be fun my dear cherry blossom."
