A/N : Yay another chapter! Thanks so much for the reviews everyone :) and please continue to review if you are liking this story or have any ideas on how I could improve it. p.s the romance between Naruto and Sasuke will be quite a slow build, so please know that.

Naruto tugged on his tie once more before opening the double doors to walk into the Uchiha Firm for a second time. As he made his way up to the front desk, he saw that Ino was working again today - and there was another young lady working the computers with her.

"Good morning, Mr. Uzumaki," Ino spoke as she saw Naruto approach. The blond teen rested his arm on the counter and smiled back at her until his face landed upon the girl who was working beside her. She had short pink hair and her eyes were a deep emerald green, strikingly contrasting Naruto's own blue orbs.

"Good morning, Ino," Naruto replied as he tore his gaze away from the mystery woman. "Please, call me Naruto though."

Ino smiled and grabbed the phone just as it rang, "Sakura would you mind escorting Naruto up to Sasuke-kun's office please?" she managed to ask before picking up the receiver. The girl to her right stood up and straightened her black pencil skirt before walking around the desk and leading Naruto towards the elevators he had been in the previous day.

"So you're Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked politely, wanting to know the gorgeous girl's name.

She nodded, "yes."

Naruto smiled, she really was stunning.

"So you work for Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked as they reached the 5th floor.

"Yeah, I'm his apprentice," Naruto replied, trying to keep his cool around this girl. Naruto followed her as they walked towards the lonely office from before, and she opened it for him.

"Good luck," she whispered with a wink as she walked back to the elevator. Naruto stifled a laugh, he would need it. He walked into the room and saw Sasuke sitting at his desk, tapping his finger against the wood impatiently.

"You're late, Dobe," he said with a scowl.

Naruto looked down at his watch, puzzled. "Only three minutes, it took me that long to get to this floor and walk in…"

"I don't want to hear your excuses," Sasuke spoke and interrupted the shorter teen. The man seemed especially irritated today, and Naruto didn't want to anger him more.

"Sorry," he grudgingly apologized. "So what do you want me to do?"

Sasuke seemed to think about it for a moment, but then his face lifted slightly and he almost wore a smile. "I have the perfect job for you," he said. "It's also very important to this company."

Naruto's interest grew, "what is it?"

"December 20th is the date of our office Christmas party, and it's currently my job to organize," Sasuke said, his half-smile sticking around. "But I don't want to waste my time on such…trivial matters. So now, it falls on your shoulders."

"Wait…" Naruto stumbled. "But I have no idea how to plan a party… especially one that would be this big!"

Sasuke shrugged, "Hinata will help you out," he stated coolly. "I'm pretty sure she has a degree in Event Planning, why don't you go down to her office now - I'll call her and tell her you're coming."

Naruto was a little taken aback by how quickly this was moving, but he guessed that Sasuke was behind on the deadline for this party, and so he nodded.

"Where is her office?" Naruto asked, wanting to get out of this assholes office as soon as possible.

"2nd floor, the first office on the left," Sasuke said, not able to stop smirking as the realization that he would not have to organize the party sank in. Naruto nodded and headed out, excited to get away from Sasuke for the day. Naruto reached the 2nd floor and walked out, making his way towards the office he had received directions to. He knocked once and then opened the door, walking in.

"Are you Hinata?" Naruto asked, glancing at the young lady who was sitting at her desk, diligently working. The dark-haired girl looked up and rose to a standing position. Her long hair waved around as she walked over to Naruto, a light crimson covering her cheeks.

"Yes, I'm Hinata Hyuuga, can I help you?" she asked kindly.

Naruto grinned, "Sasuke told me to come find you, he's asked me to help plan the Christmas party!" he said, getting a little excited. This might not be too bad.

"Oh that's great!" Hinata smiled. "I-I've started to plan it already, how about I run you through what I have planned already. So, it's going to start at around Seven P.M, and I've already got a venue booked," she explained as she kindly offered Naruto a seat. "It's across town, called the 'Bemont Hotel' and it's a very fancy place, so naturally the event will be Black Tie."

Naruto nodded, he'd have to spend his first couple paychecks on some nice suits. "That sounds great! What else do we need to plan?"

Hinata's face flushed once more, "Well, we need to check out the bar, make invitations, decorations and we need to run by the venue to check it out."

Naruto nodded, processing the information. "So when should we get started?" he asked, having no idea how to do any of this.

"Well, how about I write you a list of everything we need to do so that you don't forget," she said, giggling lightly. "And then we should meet up sometime this weekend to check out the venue and make sure it's going to be big enough."

"That seems good!"

Naruto returned to Sasuke's office, wanting to let him know about their plans. He opened the door to see his boss, Uchiha Sasuke, with a girl pinned down on his desk as he lay on top of her and attacked her lips with his own. One hand was on her waist and the other was sliding under her shirt.

"S-Sorry…" The blond intruder mumbled, his face a bright red as he stumbled backward. Sasuke heard his voice and he pulled off the girl, meeting the flushed boy's embarrassed eyes. The black-haired boy sighed and stood up, straightening his coat and tie as the girl rushed out of the room, embarrassed at being caught.

"What do you want, Dobe?" Sasuke asked, somewhat annoyed that he had just been cock-blocked.

"The name's Naruto," he growled with a glare. "Anyway, I talked to Hinata and we are getting along great. She seems really sweet and I've got a couple ideas for the Christmas Party already. Just thought I'd update you since you are my boss." Naruto said, grumbling the last part slightly.

Sasuke nodded, "looks like progress will be made then, good job getting along with Hinata…" he said. "She can be a little shy normally."

Naruto shrugged, "I thought she was fine."

Sasuke nodded. This Naruto kid seemed to be able to get along with anyone - perhaps he would prove to be more useful than Sasuke originally thought. Especially if their future partner, the Sunagakure liked him as well. Perhaps it was his bubbly personality, or maybe his sea-deep blue eyes; Sasuke couldn't quite put his finger on what it was that made Naruto so innocent-looking and likable, but there was definitely something about him. Although, the black-haired lawyer couldn't help but feel like he was hiding something behind that happy go-lucky attitude.
