"Such incompetent idiots".
The raven haired boy said as he walked down the hall. Sasuke had been looking for a new secretary. Someone who could think for themselves and not follow him around like some sheep. He was beginning to loose patience. His last secretary was an elder lady. She may have been old, but she did her job, and very well at that. Unfortunately she had passed away by an unexpected heart failure. Which led to Sasuke having to find a new secretary.
"Sasuke wait!"
Naruto yelled from behind Sasuke. Sasuke didn't stop, only becoming more irritated. Naruto reached Sasuke and grabbed him by his suit's jacket.
"Are you kidding me!? Not even a single one? At least give them a chance..."
Naruto pleaded to Sasuke. Sasuke stared back at Naruto with a annoyed look.
"You can't keep this up. You almost missed the flight last week. Non of your suits have been to cleansing. And if I'm correct you've already forgotten the date for your Mom's birthday next month. Am I right?"
Naruto looked annoyed back at Sasuke. Sasuke looked away from Naruto. He knew Naruto was right. He'd been buying new suits here and there, cause it was easier than having to get the old ones to the cleaner and then pick them up. Sasuke often worked 7 to 22 or more... Sometimes over night. Plus he'd been skipping a lot of meals lately. Sasuke sighed.
"Naruto. They're all idiots. You see that right?"
Sasuke said. Naruto looked away and rolled his eyes.
"You mean all the guys are arrogant. And all the girls wants to get in your pants?"
Naruto laughed a little.
"They look like dogs in heat or some shit."
Sasuke said annoyed.
"Non of them have any work experience. I can't work with that."
"Okay. If I find someone with work experience.."
Naruto tried to say.
"Not just work experience. Ffs Naruto. I need someone who has worked as a secretary for a decent company before"
Sasuke snapped at Naruto.
"You done?"
Naruto looked back at Sasuke.
"I'll find someone. And then you don't fire them the moment they step into the building, like you did with Misha. Poor girl cried all the way out."
Naruto said.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. If you're referring to the girl who made me late for the meeting with my father, and then spilt coffee all over the documents and my brother... Then yeah, she better have been crying"
Sasuke hissed back at Naruto.
"Listen. All these people straight out of high school with zero work experience, who try to score a great job here. It's shit. It's never going to happen. I don't even know why the fuck you thought it was a good idea. You want to get with some 18 year old. Go ahead. But they're not going to work here."
Sasuke said to Naruto. Naruto looked a little embarrassed.
"You're such an asshole"
Naruto replied back.
"And I intend to stay that way."
Sasuke said back as he left the hall through a door.
Sasuke woke up. He couldn't sleep anymore. He was lying in bed, looking up at the ceiling. It was still dark. He looked over at his watch by the nightstand. 04:33. He wanted to sleep more. But he couldn't. Instead he got up, like the days before. He went out for a run to the gym, and then spent an hour training, before running home to take a shower before work. He drank coffee and ate breakfast, and was fast out the door.
He was one of the first to show up at work. The tall skyscraper reflected the sun that was hitting it through the clouds. Sasuke stepped out of the elevator and made his way to his office. He sat down and began where he left off the day before. As the minutes passed, more people came to work.
All of a sudden a knock could be heard on the big wooden double door to Sasuke's office. The doors were basically sound proof. And without a secretary, Sasuke had to go over and open the doors himself. He was expecting to find Naruto or another manager from the department. But to his surprise a young lady was on the other side of the door. She had long dark hair that reached her butt. She was wearing a tight navy blue skirt and beige tights. Complimented with high heels in the same navy blue color as her skirt. She also had a white shirt on with the top buttons open, not enough to see anything though. Only a gold neckless was visible around her neck.
"Mr Uchiha?"
The young lady asked. Sasuke stood quietly and stared confused at the lady. She had white eyes. 'How uniqued' Sasuke thought.
"Who are you?"
Sasuke finally said.
"My name is Hinata Hyuga. I've been employed as your new secretary."
She smiled shyly. At first Sasuke didn't reply. Hadn't he told Naruto that he didn't want some chick straight out of high school with no work experience. Because she really looked like that. Sasuke took a deep breath. He was just about to throw a fit and have Naruto fire this girl himself. But Hinata talked, before he had made a decision on what to say.
"I've had your suits sent to cleansing. And uhm.. I've updated your calendar. Naruto, I mean Mr Uzumaki, made it very clear that getting everything up to date was the first priority for you."
'What. But it's only 09... And wait how did she get my suits anyway?' Sasuke thought to himself.
"Mr Uzumaki said I should talk to you personally, and sign a temporary contract."
Hinata said. Sasuke felt confused. Hinata looked around with a small smile. Blushing a bit. Afraid to look at the tall man, in front of her. Sasuke finally came to his senses.
"Come in then..."
He said quietly. He held the door for the young lady. Hinata nodded to him and walked in. Sasuke closed the door, and walked up behind Hinata who was much shorter than him. Hinata got nervous as she saw Sasuke come closer. He was wearing a lead grey suit with a white shirt underneath the suits jacket. Completed with black leather shoes and a blue tie. The pants were tight enough to get a sense of the muscles underneath. And the broad shoulder sent shivers down Hinata's spine. She decided to turn away from him, and sat down in the chair opposite of his desk. Sasuke followed her into the room where his desk was placed. He went around and sat down in his chair.
"So... Mr Uzumaki hadn't informed me of the employment of a new secretary for me."
Sasuke leaned back in his seat. Hinata looked nervously back at him. 'Was I employed by mistake?' she thought to herself.
"Do you have something for me? Job application? References? Something like that?"
Sasuke asked.
"I believe Mr Uzumaki have sent it to you by mail."
Hinata replied.
"I see."
Sasuke said back. He opened his desktop pc and tasted his code in. It was very quiet. Hinata felt nervous. She had done what Naruto had asked of her. Get his calendar updated with all his upcoming events. And get his suits to cleansing as soon as they opened. But sitting here in front of him like this. And hearing that he didn't even know that she was employed.
"Miss Hyuga... Right?"
Sasuke looked up from his computer to her.
"Yes?"
Hinata asked back nervously.
"I'll have a temporary contract set up for you by the end of today. So while I read your information from Mr Uzumaki, I want you to go prepare an analysis for sales reports from last year's compiled data. Then I want you to update the contact information on our three biggest clients, and you get me a meeting with all three of them. I want this done by noon. Got it..."
He looked down on his computer while tasting something. Hinata couldn't believe her ears. He wasn't going to throw her out.
"Yes Mr Uchiha!"
She smiled back at him. She hurried out the door, and gently bowed to him before closing the door behind her.
Her smile was sweet. Very kind and full of life. Sasuke couldn't help but feel his blood running crazy in his body. 'Get your fucking shit together' He thought to himself.
Hinata's desk was right outside Sasuke's office. She kinda had her own mini office. It felt nice to have a work space behind a wall and a closed door, even though it was made of glass. This gave her more space to think without the constant noises from everything else going on around the building. She sat down and decided to start with updating the contact information on the clients. Naruto had helped her set up a user for the company's computer. All she needed now was the temporary contract and a employee card, so she could get into the building by herself.
It was her first job since her own father fired her as a secretary for his own corporation. She had worked there for four years since she finished high school. Hinata looked around and admired the opportunity given to her. She never imagined getting a job at such a big corporation. With departments all around the world. And she got to be a secretary for the CEO of this department. A smile formed on her lips.
Noon came around and Sasuke decided to see how long his new secretary had come with her tasks. But to his surprise the young lady was no where to be found. Sasuke started wondering where she could be. 'Maybe she actually managed to finish everything and went to lunch?' 'Was it too much work, did she quit?' He couldn't see her through the glass wall or door that surrounded her small work space. He walked out and headed to the elevator. 'Naruto better have some answers'. But as Sasuke went around the corner he hit another person who accidentally ran into him. The other person stumbled back a bit and apologized.
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going!"
"... Miss Hyuga?... "
Sasuke asked in a rather sarcastic voice. Hinata looked up and met Sasuke's eyes.
"Mr. Uchiha! I'm so very sorry!"
She replied in a nervous voice.
"I got lost for a moment, but I have the reports you asked for. Unfortunately... Uhm... I haven't finished the analysis for the reports. I'll have it done by the end of lunch! I promise!"
He took a second to reply.
"Miss Hyuga... Why don't you join me for lunch?"
Sasuke instead asked. Hinata looked at him with a confused look.
"... Of course..."
She answered a little bit confused. Sasuke hadn't eaten lunch outside of the office in a long time. But he wanted to go somewhere neutral and talk with his new employee.
"I'll uhm... I'll just go, and put the reports at my desk, and grab my coat..."
Hinata mumble just loud enough to be heard. She hurried beside Sasuke and headed for their offices. Sasuke turned around and looked after her. A small smirk formed on his lips.
"What are you smiling at idiot huh?"
Naruto teased Sasuke, as he entered the hallway where Sasuke was standing. Sasuke's smirked quickly turned upside down to a frown in his friend presence.
"You like the new secretary? She's quite the deal you know..."
Naruto asked. Sasuke stared back to see if he could see Hinata, but he couldn't see her.
"What do you want Naruto?"
Sasuke then asked and moved his gaze back to Naruto. Naruto gave a little smirk before turning a serious gaze back at Sasuke.
"I know what you're doing. You're giving her way to difficult tasks that are impossible to complete in what little time you give her."
Naruto hizzed at Sasuke.
"Hinata is a good and extremely hard working person. She takes her work very serious. And she wants to do anything to do a good job. Do whatever you want, but I'm telling you. You'll be wasting a great employee with your shit..."
Sasuke should be angry at Naruto. But Sasuke felt rather proud that his normally chill friend and employee raised his voice for once.
"Naruto..."
Sasuke said.
"What!..."
Naruto hizzed again at Sasuke.
"Do you two have a thing going on or?"
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Naruto.
"What! No way! Nonono! I'm friends with her cousin... We went to school together. He actually came to me and asked if we needed a new secretary in any departments on the west side. Luckily we just so happened to need a new secretary. "
Naruto answered back at Sasuke.
"But I've met her a couple of times growing up... When I visited her cousin."
Sasuke was just about to ask Naruto something, when he heard Hinata's high heels click on the floor behind him.
"Sorry it took so long Mr. Uchiha. I... Oh Naruto? I mean Mr. Uzumaki"
Hinata noticed Naruto behind Sasuke when she came up to him.
"Ah Hinata! I hope you're having a great first day!"
Naruto smiled big at Hinata. She blushed a little.
"Are you two headed down for lunch? You better get going then"
Naruto gestured for Sasuke and Hinata to go passed him in the direction of the elevators. Sasuke quickly stepped passed Naruto. Hinata looked at Naruto, smiled and then followed Sasuke.
The elevator ride felt too quiet and too slow. Hinata didn't know if she should say something. So she decided to just stay quiet. Sasuke was on his phone tasting something. The elevator door opened on a lower floor and two women stepped in.
"Mr. Uchiha"
They both said and nodded to Sasuke. Sasuke ignored them. The two women noticed Hinata, and looked quite confused. They didn't whisper or talk, but Hinata could see their judging look from over their shoulders. Both the women were dressed in beautiful suits with skirts and a jacket. 'I feel like a little girl next to them...' Hinata thought. When the elevator reached the ground floor, the two women stepped aside and let Sasuke walk out first. They nodded and smiled at him. Hinata followed Sasuke out, but was met with hateful stares from both women. As Hinata took the last step out the elevator, one of the women made Hinata trip over and Hinata almost fell. But instead Hinata hit Sasuke's back and grabbed his suit's jacket.
"My apologies Mr. Uchiha!"
Hinata said nervously. 'I'm a mess... He must think I'm some clumsy idiot' she thought. Sasuke didn't answer, he merely looked at her over his shoulder, and then continued walking.
To be continued...
