CHAPTER 2

RECAP

In all honesty I am SOOOO satisfied with myself that I have found the perfect assistant for him, she is everything he tries to avoid. I proudly puffed up my chest as I leaned back in my chair with hands behind my head.

"Let's see what you do now brother." I said an almost evil grin on my face.

I had received the information last night like he said and had done exactly as instructed, I had originally wanted to wear pants but the email had said to wear a pencil skirt, heels and white blouse, no blazer. The instructions were so specific it kind of freaked me out but I'm guessing the guy who took the interview was just extremely OCD, he wants everything to be perfect or something. That reminds me I didn't even get his name!

How am I supposed to know who to ask for? I always have to screw something up don't I!

I stood at the entrance looking up at the massive building, 'it's even bigger than our one' I noted as I walked in. I had asked Hinata what I should do since I didn't know the name of my boss and she said to just go to the front desk and say that I was the newly hired personal assistant. She wouldn't tell me who my boss or the man who interviewed me, she mumbled something about keeping a promise or something.

So I did exactly what she said and walked up to the front desk and told the lady that I was the new personal assistant which then earned me a massive glare from the lady who from this moment on shall be referred to as 'crazy'. She walked me passed many cubicles and offices towards a door that said 'I. Uchiha'

'That must be the name of the guy who took my interview' I thought to myself.

She tapped on the door twice before there was a gruff "come in." Crazy poked her head in and announced that his new assistant was here and a "bring her in" was the answer. She closed the door and turned to look at me with a smirk as she signalled for me to enter. I felt scared, if it wasn't the lady's smirk then it was definitely the "bring her in." which reminded me of being a prisoner or something.

I quickly brushed my skirt as I took a calming breath and entered, I turned around and closed the door behind me and then faced the man sitting at the desk to greet him.

"Sir I ca…"

My throat went dry before I could finish as my eyes threatened to pop out of my sockets,

"j-just one moment" I stuttered as I turned back around as fast as possible opening the door and almost running out of the room.

I quickly went up to the closest person and asked "excuse me but ummm.. is that the person who needs the new personal assistant" she answered by looking at me as if I was dumb and then walking away.

"Are you sure?" I called after her, hoping that by some stroke of luck it wasn't but she just turned around and gave me another weird look as she walked away faster.

"You have got to be kidding me." I mumbled as I walked back towards the room that I had run out of. 'There goes doing well at my first job' I thought, as the way he was staring at me when I first entered the room flashed in front of my eyes.

I entered that same room once again, my head hung low, my hands tightly clasped together, "hi, ummm….. ummm… uhhh…oh right, I'm the new personal assistant" I said waiting for a reply, but I was met with nothing so I looked up to see the man staring at me intently with his index finger lightly running back and forth across his lip. Now I don't know if he was doing it on purpose or maybe it's just a reflexive action he has when he's thinking or even if what's going through my brain is against the law or something but his movement just wouldn't let me stray my eyes from his lips.

I licked my lips involuntarily, I probably needed to say something but my brain just wouldn't focus. "Do you have any previous experience?" the guy asked as he picked up a cup and brought it to his lips, his voice deep and sultry each word taking it's time to roll of his tongue. Somehow his voice just seemed to fit him perfectly and unfortunately for me that perfection of his was adding more to my disarray of thoughts.

"Do I…what?" I asked in confusion, not comprehending what he was asking

"Previous experience."

"In w-what?"

"In…" he said elongating the n sound as he got up of his seat and walked towards me.

Seriously did someone turn the heater on in this room? I think my heart was going to stop pumping at any moment and make me drop dead on the floor. This guy had this relaxed smile but it gave of a sinister aura. He was at least a head taller than me, making me tilt my head up a bit each time he took a step closer towards me.

"cats!"

The guy halted in his steps and just stared at me, "What?"

"Uhh… I …cat sitting... i've had pervious experience in cat sitting!" I said, my brain coming back slowly, he reminded me of a prowling cat

His eyes felt like they were piercing my soul as he replied with a 'hn' and turned around heading back to his desk.

I mentally patted myself on the back now I must focus, "so ummm, I was wondering if you could give the details to what is required."

"What is required huh?" he asked, a glint in his eyes

"Initially you will begin by following all my orders , no arguments. If I tell you to shut up, you shut up. If I tell you to get out you get out. You will always arrive 15 minutes prior to my arrival, if you don't you will be punished and you can only leave with me or leave after me. You don't finish until I tell you and sometimes I work from my office at home so you will need to be there occasionally. The main thing you need to remember is you must do everything I say."

I put up my hand without thinking because I did not want to be alone with this man especially in his own house. "Sir I don't think your house is…:

"Relax you're not my type."

I didn't know what to say I just sat there I mean I know I'm not beautiful or anything but to be completely shut down like that it slightly hurt. I felt sort of ashamed thinking that he would do anything to me, I mean even the other guy who took the interview had said that all his past assistants were all beautiful why would I stand a chance? Well at least I know I can completely focus on my job now.

I straightened my back to my full height, the aura around me becoming serious, "so what do I call you? Sir?"

"Mr Uchiha."

"May I call you sir?" I asked, daring to be argued with,

"One of those is fine and when you pick up the phone you say Itachi Uchiha's office."

"Yes sir. Anything else?"

"Tha…" the shrill sound of the telephone cut him off as he signalled for me to leave while he picked up the phone.

Itachi's POV

"My dear brother how is she?" said a voice through the phone, a hint of humour coming through as well.

"Fascinating Sasuke." I replied monotonously, in truth she was quite interesting, how Sasuke had found such a women was quite curious.

"Isn't she?" Sasuke asked, I swear I heard a slight chuckle on the other side of the line.

I glared at the file sitting in front of me, a picture of her on one of the corners of the pages. I could imagine the page burning and crumbling into ashes, it's not that I hated her, I just didn't like whatever my brother was trying to do. I was perfectly content with my past assistants, sure I changed them every week but they were perfect for my preferred type of living.

"Now remember what we discussed Itachi, you can't force her to quit her job, just…. Enjoy the change, she might bring something out in you."

"I wouldn't dare force such a 'capable' assistant to quit and as for change, I'm sure I'll be utterly amused." I said sarcastically

Honestly though how could I not be entertained, the woman wore her emotions on her sleeve for the world to see, she was just too innocent and docile, the complete opposite to my preference, complete opposite to me. But then there is this fire, defiance in her that you don't expect but it just somehow fits.

There was one thing that definitely stood about her, her eyes. Now some say the eyes are the window to the soul and if that was true then her soul was like the ocean, blue with specks of green, calm at one point and raging at another.

Riza's POV

"Gosh I feel so stupid" I said as I scolded myself, all my anger just melted as soon as I left that room. I don't even know where my anger had come from because I had no right to be angry it's not like he said anything wrong or did anything wrong. It was me who assumed those things, but then again it was his fault for making my brain stop functioning thus making me think such irrational thoughts.

'Seriously how am I going to survive this job?'

I slowly walked to the empty desk that was directly in front of his office and sat in the chair. If this wasn't my desk then screw whoever's it is because I seriously needed to sit down. I slowly brought my head down to rest on the table when suddenly there was a beep out of nowhere making me snap my head up and pull something in my neck.

"I did not allow you to rest, we haven't finished discussing the terms." The voice through the intercom said.

I don't know how he does it, but he just riles me up and this is the first time I've ever even met him. I slapped my hands on the desk as I stood up and almost stomped back to his office.

"Yes sir?" I asked plastering as much of a fake smile as possible,
