Thank you everyone who followed, faved or reviewed ! I am still debating on whether to pair Sasuke with Hinata or Sakura…I see that some of you and even some of my friends prefer SasuSaku and NaruHina over the other. So, I'll see in the future how the story turns out.

Okay , here's the next chapter.

And just to remind you again – Still don't own Naruto. #Sigh#

CHAPTER TWO

No way ! What is going on ? What is he saying ? Sakura could not comprehend Sasuke's point. Like the girl she was, her mind quickly jumped to all sorts of conclusions. Like her being so annoying that he was getting rid of her or that he might have found out about her infatuation with him or even worse. The Inner Sakura was furious. It's because of that Baka Naruto and Lee-san! You two just wait ! I am going to kill…

"Sakura ? Are you even listening ?" Sasuke had been going on and on explaining about her new position when he noticed that she was barely listening. "Y-yes…sorry…what was it ?" Sakura stammered. "You heard about the scandal at the advertising department, didn't you?" He inquired. The previous department co-head there had tried to embezzle money from the budget for his own profit. However he was caught and dealt with ( Thanks to Lee's youthful detective-work ), which left the position empty.

"Yes, I have. It was very admirable of you to have caught him red-handed, Sasuke-sama. But what does it have to do with me. I had no connection, what-so-ever, to it." Sakura quickly clarified. Surely, there wasn't some misunderstanding now, was there? "Everything. The position's empty now and it cannot be left like that for long. The person I can trust the most with issues like this is you. I am aware that you initially applied for a job in that department. So Sakura, I want you to take over as the co-Head along with Lee till we find someone more suitable." Sasuke stated rather matter-of-factly.

"But Sasuke-sama…what about the place of your secretary?" Sakura dreaded this new change for it surely meant for her to be taken away from her boss. Also, she would have to work alongside Lee and get along with other Department Heads, including Naruto. Cha ! Bring it on ! Sasuke-sama said he trusts me the most, now's the time to impress him ! Inner Sakura urged on.

"I will come to that. As for the terms for your new position, its regular in all other ways, except that you may retain your current cabin. Also, any convenience needed by you will be fulfilled by the company if you require so."

"I accept."

"Very well. Now Sakura, I am telling this only to you for the time being and I expect you to keep it confidential." Sasuke waited for Sakura to nod before continuing. "I will not hire another secretary. Instead I have someone coming over to help me with the business. You will share your cabin with her and also guide her if she needs to be." For some strange reason, Sasuke took a deep breath. Why does it feel so hard to say this to her ? Sasuke wondered before speaking, " It will be Hyuuga Hinata, of the Hyuuga Corporations. Also, she's my…fiancée."

"WHAT ?!" Sakura practically screamed while Sasuke winced in response. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Her boss…to be married? Inner Sakura was on a rampage. Damn it ! Damn it ! Damn it ! Someone stole Sasuke from me ! Sasuke waited for the news to sink in and then explained, "It was agreed upon by my elder brother before he left to take over the American branch of our company. She'll be coming tomorrow but of course I expect you to be quiet about it."

Well, of course his elder brother had to go around and play cupid for her Sasuke-sama ! Uchiha Itachi, you gonna pay for this. Cha ! Inner Sakura challenged on. "Of course, Sasuke-sama. I understand. Everything will go on smoothly." Sakura assured him, not wanting to look bad in front of him.

"Good. I will announce the changes to everyone now. You are dismissed." He said decisively while turning his chair around to face the announcement mike.

Sakura left his office with a heavy heart. That day, before going home, everyone knew of Sakura's promotion. Some complained and grumbled while some found it reasonable. Others just acknowledged the fact and moved on with their works. Sakura knew that from the next day, her life was going to be totally different.

*Next Morning*

Sakura walked briskly towards her cabin. As usual she was early and there were few people in the office. Fortunately, she wasn't able to find either Naruto or Lee. As she was approaching her destination, she found someone already standing in front of her door, as if waiting for Sakura to arrive. It's her ! The fiancée ! Sakura's heart was beating fast was some reason. In her sight was a girl, standing with her head bowed. She had pale skin and shiny blue-black hair which reached her waist. She was wearing a white and lavender dress which complimented her figure in a very decent manner. Her assessment was barely complete when the said person raised her head and looked straight at Sakura.

Good Lord! She is…She's beautiful ! Sakura's eyes widened as her own green eyes met the girl's lavender ones. " Ano…umm…are you Sakura-san?" A timid voice inquired.

"Yes, that would be me."

"I am Hinata. I am here to h-help S-s-Sasuke-san with the work." Hinata said softly. She was glad that Sakura was a nice and friendly-looking person. I hope I am able to do my best and not disappoint anyone.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I have already been informed of the arrangement and – "

"Good morning, Sakura-san !" Lee almost screamed like he did almost every morning. Hinata suddenly became fidgety and an irritated vein popped up on Sakura's forehead. Great…just what I needed.
" I am so happy that we will be working together, Sakura-san. It just fuels my hot-blooded passion to know that it is you who guides us. Even Guy-sensei is – " Lee was cut off when Sakura raised her hand in a stop sign.

"Please keep your hot-blooded passion under control, Lee-san. We have new members here. Please don't ignore them." Sakura said while gesturing towards a fumbling Hinata. "Hinata, this is Rock Lee from the Advertising Department. He's the co-head along with me." Sakura explained. " N-nice to meet you. I am Hinata, a volunteering a-associate." Hinata introduced herself.

"A volunteer ? Wonderful, Hinata-san ! I see you are in the springtime of your youth. You are as dedicated as me and Guy-sensei…" Yet again Lee was cut off in mid-sentence.

"Cut it out, Fuzzy Eyebrows. You are always blabbering about this youthful shit. Don't mind him, dattebayo." Naruto said to Hinata. He then turned to Sakura. " 'Morning, Sakura-chan ! Is she new here, because I haven't seen her around before." He asked while pointing to Hinata. "Yeah, she just joined. Her name is Hinata."

"Nice to meet you, Hinata-chan ! I am Uzumaki Naruto, the Finance and Resources Head." Naruto chimed. But Hinata was too occupied with her thoughts to reply. Her face was currently a deep red and she was trying to form some coherent sentences from her mouth. Naruto-kun's amazing ! Hinata had never seen someone so cool and lively before. Sure she had a vast family but everyone was the serious and silent type. Especially her cousin, Neji.

"Same h-here, N-Naruto-kun." Hinata blushed an even deeper shade of red if that was even possible.

"Yosh…let's get started with our day. Shall we ?" Sakura said.

"Sure, Sakura-san . I am going to get some files, so that we can work on them together." Lee said in a victorious tone. Irritated, Naruto shifted his leg so that it came in Lee's way, which resulted in Lee falling down, Naruto earning a bump on his head from a very annoyed Sakura and Hinata blushing furiously while witnessing the mess.

It was a great start to the day.

Just to make it clear. Yes, everyone is working at some or the other company in my fic. I just thought that every character would make a very interesting employee so… yeah, you got it.

In the next chapter - More characters introduced and wait…why is Hinata playing computer games and why is Sasuke jealous and whoa…who spilled coffee over the monitor?!
