Summary: I'm Mikan Sakura, 24 years old. Wanna know what's my outlook in life? Oh, I just hate it. Why'd you ask? Well, I lost everything that I had in just ONE FREAKING DAY. Unfortunately, when I woke up one morning, I wasn't at home. But on a king-sized bed and a fascinating room. Then, I saw a raven-haired guy walked out of the bathroom, HALF-NAKED! What the? Oh God, please help me…

Chapter 4: "His fiancée?"

"How did you know? How did you know that I needed 3 million yen?" I asked him.

"You told me." he answered monotonously.

"When?" I asked again. Of course I have the right to know. 'Cause I can't remember telling him all the details of what happened to me last night.

"Last night. At the Cocktail Glam Bar. You were drunk and you happened to tell me every details of what had happened to you." he explained. I kept quiet for a while, trying to decipher everything that had happened last night and how I ended up on the hotel suite.

FLASHBACK

-RING-

I groaned as I heard the alarm clock rang. I hesitatingly looked at the clock, wanting to know what the time is. Just then, my eyes widen in shock. It was almost 8 in the morning.

"Jeez! I'm late!" I almost screamed as I hurriedly hop out of my bed, and going straight to the bathroom. I did my daily routines like brushing my teeth and taking a bath. That's usual, right? Well, who cares though.

After doing those, I fixed myself and went down the stairs. I was hoping to see my mom on the kitchen, preparing breakfast like what she always do, but she wasn't there. I shrugged, thinking that she maybe went to the market or whatever. But I guess not. Why? I saw a piece of paper placed neatly on top of the dining table. Curious as to what it is, I took the paper and began reading it.

Dear Mikan,

I'm sorry to disappoint you. I already sold the house because of the debt I had in the casino. I need to go away for a while and to look for some decent jobs to pay off that debt, which is 2.5 million yen. I didn't know that it was that high. And they're after me dear. I don't want to end up in jail. Sorry for leaving you behind dear. For now, stay with Hotaru or with your stepbrother. I love you.

Your mom.

After reading the letter, I didn't know what to feel. I don't even have enough savings to pay off her debt. Then I realized something, maybe the reason why she was always out every night is because she's gambling. Jeez, mom. What did you do? I went out of my house, feeling disappointed with what my mom did.

A little while later, I arrived at the university I'm going in. The Alice University to be exact. You may be wondering why I'm still in college when I'm already 24 years old. Well, the truth is, I'm already a graduate of BS biology last 2 years. I just took up another course because of my interest in arts. Yes, I'm taking up fine arts and now in 2nd year. Not to dedicated in studies, huh? I was busy doing painting when suddenly, the professor called out for me, saying that the dean needed to see me. I stood up and walked out of the classroom, heading to the dean's office.

"Good morning ma'am." I greeted just before I entered the room.

"Good morning to you too, Miss Sakura. Please have a seat." she told me, so I did.

"Miss Sakura, I'm sorry to say this but you can't continue your studies, not unless you had paid your tuition for this month." she said.

"But ma'am, can't you please give me more time? I mean, I do have a job but I'll get my pay at the end of the month." I explained, hoping that she'll believe me.

"Miss Sakura, I know that you are a great student and I am very pleased that we had a student like you. But you didn't pay your tuition for the last 2 months, and your application for scholarship was also denied. You know our policies, right? And if the head of this university knew about this, he may not give you another chance to study in here. I'm sorry, I can't do anything." she explained. I lowered my head, feeling that my eyes are beginning to water. But I had to hold it.

"Uhm, I-I understand. And t-thank you." I said before leaving the room completely. What a terrible day! I feel like a jinx!

When dismissal arrived, I hurriedly went out of the building. I need to get to my working place ON time if I don't want to get fired. Luckily, I did arrive on time. Thank you, Kami-sama. But before I arrived completely at my office, there was a big commotion at the lobby. Again, I felt curious so I asked the other employees about what's going on.

"The company's going bankrupt so the president decided to pull off some workers. That guy over there(she pointed to where the guys was), who's holding a folder, is announcing the names of the unlucky persons who'll lose there job. I just hope that I'm not included there." she told me. Oh no! not again? I just hope that I'm not included. Oh please, Kami-sama, I prayed. But my prayers weren't ansered when I heard my name.

"Ms. Mikan Sakura, I'm very sorry. You're fired." the guy said. Ouch! Why me? I ran to the closest comfort room and began to cry. Who wouldn't? First, you knew that your mom had a debt of 2.5 million. Second, you can't study unless you had paid your tuition(which is 500,000 yen). Third, I lost my job. What's next?

I opened the faucet and washed my face. The next thing I knew, my phone rang. I was not in the mood to answer it, but when I looked at the screen and saw who was calling, I answered it.

"Hello?" I answered, trying not to sound that I cried.

"Hey, Mikan. Happy anniversary." the voice on the other line said. I smiled, at least I had someone to ran to.

"Happy anniversary too." I replied.

"Where's my gift?" I added, and I heard him chuckled.

"Come over to my place. Your gift is waiting." he told me and I giggled.

"Okay. I will, after 30 minutes I guess." I told him.

"Anytime, sweetheart. Love you."

"Love you too." and we hanged up. At least after all those disappointing happenings a while ago, someone could still comfort me and make me feel special. I looked at my reflection on the mirror. My eyes weren't that red nor puffy and I even looked fine. I took my bag and went out of the building. Just then, I saw the ground with whitish things. And I realized that it was snow. It's snowing, my favorite time of the year.

It didn't take me long to arrive at my boyfriend's house. Maybe because I was excited to see him and that my happiness was overflowing. But when I opened the door, my happiness was changed. Why? Because there he was, making out with a girl. I felt tears flowing down to my cheeks again. How could he?

"K-Kyou!" I called out, stopped what they were doing, and turned to look at me. I saw him looked shocked and apologetic.

"Is this your present for me?" I asked. When I looked at them again, I just ran away. But I didn't know that he followed and stopped me from my tracks.

"M-Mikan, let me explain." he started. Just by looking at him, I can't control my anger and I slapped him.

"Explain? Explain what Kyou? You'll explain why you did that?" I screamed at his face.

"It's not what you think!"

"Then what? If you were in my position, what would you think huh? That it was just a friendly kiss?"

"Will you just please let me explain."

"And what kind of explanation would be good? Do you think I could still believe you? After what I saw just now?"

"Don't be so ridiculous. I was trying to stop-"

"Who do you think is ridiculous between us? And you were TRYING to stop her? You only TRIED but you DIDN'T stop her! And from what I saw, you were also enjoying it, Kyou. Who are you to fool me?"

"Look, I'm sorry."

"Don't be. You should've thought about what you were doing before regretting it. And guess what, we're through."

"Mikan, no! Please!"

"Shut up, Kyou! We're officially through from now own. You could go back and continue your session with your new girl." I said before finally leaving him and taking a ride on a taxi. I sighed, an exasperated one. I can't control my tears from flowing.

"Miss, are you okay?" the driver asked me.

"I'll be fine sir." I replied. I hope I will be.

"Where're you headed?" he asked once again.

"To the Cocktail Glam Bar please." I answered.

END OF FLASHBACK

Now I fully understood what happened. Except for one. Did something really happened between Hyuuga and I? That's not possible, right? But there's only one way to find out, and that is to ask him.

"What about you saying that something happened between us? You were kidding, weren't you?" I asked him, felt him loosen his grip on me and began laughing. What the hell?

"You really think that I'm insane to do that?" he asked and laughed again. Freak! I really can't take this jerk!

"Stop laughing!" I exclaimed, a bit embarrassed and annoyed. Who wouldn't be? I clenched my fists as I look at him laughing mad. Damn!

"Jerk! Stop it!" I screamed. He looked at me and stopped laughing.

"Look, whatever I said about…"we", doing that, don't take it seriously. Only stupid guys does that. And I'm not stupid yet enough." he told me. Ugh! Who does he think he is? The most perfect guy in the world? How cocky!

"Don't be so full of yourself." I whispered irritatingly.

"Are you saying something?" I heard him asked. I looked up to him with a mocking smile. I was about to say something to him but I heard the door opened.

"Hey babe!" the girl said as she ran her way in and hugged Hyuuga. I looked at the girl who was now giving him kisses. What a sight! But the girl is beautiful, tall, sexy, with porcelain white skin, long silky hair and nice eyes. Full of compliments, eh? And another one, she looked like a model to me. I didn't know why, but I somehow felt…insecure. I absentmindedly started checking out my body for no reason. Well, I can't be compared to her. She's too dashing, and I'm…too simple. When I looked at Natsume, he was looking at me. Then he signalled for me to get out of the room, before hugging her back. I did what I was told and went out of the room. I sighed after I closed the door.

"Now what am I supposed to do?" I asked myself as I began looking for the comfort room. When I went in, I immediately opened the faucet and washed my hands, while looking at my own reflection on the mirror.

"What's wrong with me?" I asked myself again and sighed. Just then, the door opened and two girls went inside. They gazed at me, from head to toe and snorted.

"Kinky." I thought as I entered the cubicle. Then I heard them started talking.

"Hey. What's the date today?"

"(month&day)? Why?"

"Oh. So tonight is Natsume's birthday party? I mean, his mom?"

"OMG! Yes, it is. Wait. What's so interesting about his mom though?"

"Nothing much, just that we will be attending her party."

"Oh! Now I know why his fiancée is here. Ugh!"

"Totally! The TRAMP is actually here! Don't let me see her or my day will be ruined!"

"You said it!"

I stood up, fixed myself and flushed the toilet before completely leaving the cubicle. Do I really have to tell you all these? Anyway, I went out so what's the big deal? Then again, the two girls looked at me and snobbed. What a great way of welcoming new co-workers! I shook my head and went out of the comfort room. As I was walking, my gaze was on the cold marbled floor.

"So, it's his mom's birthday huh? And he has a fiancée?" I thought to myself. Wait a minute. Why am I even thinking of him? Why should I care? He's only my boss right? He's nothing to me. Nothing more than that so stop thinking of him!

"Miss?" a feminine voice snapped me out from my train of thoughts. I looked up to see who it was, and I was shocked to see his fiancée, also described as 'The Tramp' by the girls back at the CR.

"A-Are you talking to me?" I asked. Shit! What kind of question was that huh? I shooked my head but when I looked at her, she was smiling.

"I heard from Natsume that you're his new secretary." she gently said to me and I just stared back with no idea on how to reply to her.

"By the way, I'm-"
