APOLOGIES THIS CHAPTER IS SO LATE! I had originally planned on working on this story throughout the summer, but lost track of time, and other things very quickly. Hopefully I'll be able to do so now with a little more free time. Enjoy the continuation, and get ready for a couple more chapters I might post soon, whether that be today or within the next week. Onto the story continuation~!
"We had a student such as yourself before, Victoria." He continued. "They unfortunately had to depart but they could vouch in any case that their experience in the club was phenomenal." I brushed my foot against the floor in circles staring down as I tried to make a decision in my head, the cosmetology girls helping me by placing the wig upon my head overtop of the bandages. "Its a flattering offer, it really is, but I think I might need some time to think about it, and I hope you understand." I replied with my final decision, though it didn't seem to be one he was very amused with. None the less, he kept things professional, and kept his focus on keeping me safe. Maybe I was a bit harsh at the time, and a bit paranoid with the fact this man seemingly followed me around or just simply knew where I was every hour of the day, but I was more focused on finishing this up to make my parents proud wherever they were. I looked at the time, and noticed that by the time I had waken up, the entire day had flown past. I sighed upset, missing the entirety of the first day, and stood up, somewhat leaving Kyoya behind, as my feet slid sadly against the floor back to the board members office. My head, and heart were full of shame, failing the deal already, I just hoped that the punishment of missing I would receive wouldn't be so harsh as it was back in the other schools I had attended. I was sick of punishments, sick of being a bad kid, and all I wanted was to make someone proud, and happy for something I had done. Shaking that thought off in my head, I opened the doors to see him, and a man with a briefcase who was just leaving. Out of respect once more, I watched, and stepped aside, curtsying respectfully, and the large doors slowly slid their way shut. "Victoria, hello." He said sternly, a hard, un-readable expression on his face followed closely behind. "I was expecting you'd be here as soon as you could after waking up, and I'd just like to apologize." He turned around to look out the wide windows behind him that were hidden before behind remote controlled shutters. His hands were clasped together behind his back, and I approached the desk a small amount, though not too closely in fear.
"Out of curiosity sir, why are you apologizing? I'm at fault for breaking the deal, and missing my entire first day of all things." I responded, a quiver clear to be heard in my tone. He turned back around to see my face, the frown on my lips reaching the bottom of my jaw, or so it felt. "I'd like to respectfully disagree Victoria. You have a bright future ahead of you, all I ask of you is the important favor of realizing your mistakes, but also being able to come back from incidents that are out of your control. You see, in situations involving business, if you make a mistake, or if something goes wrong, its upto you as the leader to be strong, and find a solution no matter what." He stopped to take a breath, and let me take a seat before continueing. "They are nothing more than just bumps to a good businessman, but to others who aren't so much so, they are crators, rutts they can never escape, and it ends them." I sat up properly, my elbow on the arm rest of the chair holding up my head. "I see, I appreciate you supporting me." I let out. "Where do I go from here?" I asked curiously. "Well thats upto you.." He responded, his ears sharp for my comments. "Though theres something I want you to see." He brought up, coming to me with a few pamphlets in hand. "By now I'm sure Kyoya has come to you with the proposal, but I truly believe this program could help you progress in the business world, if you see fit that is." Looking down, I saw the words 'Host Club' and a scowl spread across my face. He chuckled as I looked up at him, but I kept reading. From what I could tell, a large portion of the men and women that attended were from high class families who were either next in line or fighting their siblings for the position in learning more about their family businesses and getting relations with the others there. "This seems like an interesting thing to attend I suppose." I commented, looking through more so, there was a portion about hosts, all male, and there were names I infact recognized. I handed back the pamphlet, and smiled his way.
"To clarify Victoria, the offer Kyoya has made for you is not to attend, but rather become a host yourself." He added, as my jaw dropped open slightly. "Though there are only male hosts at the moment, they were hoping to have a female host to appease the men who will soon be attending the host club. Its upto you, but do keep in mind the experience you would gain on top of possibly finding yourself a suiter for future relationship endeavors." I felt like I was going to pass out, as I remembered back to my younger years of thinking this exact thing was stupid, and useless. However, I also understood how generous of an offer this would be for me, so I stood up, and bowed before reaching the door. "Thank you, I think I'll try my luck, and see the room its kept tomorrow." Taking one final look as the doors closed behind me, he whispered "good luck." and they clasped together. Disorientation struck, and as I finally turned to leave I ran straight into Kyoya who was still on the duty of taking me around the academy. "I'll take you to your on-campus quarters." He said, smiling as though he had been listening in to the conversation, and I had no doubt he wasn't because, well. "So how'd the meeting about my club go?" He questioned. I ignored his comment and shot back another question to change the subject. "Aren't I supposed to be staying in an apartment though? Theres no on-campus doorms." He laughed. "On the contrary actually, theres quite a few, but its only for a select amount of ladies, and gentlemen who attend, and you've met that qualification." Though it was weird, I agreed, and followed him to the quarters where he handed me the key. Once more to my surprise my room was already set up with the items I had in my place prior to this, and though it was a room for a dual bunk doorm holding two students, I was the only one that was staying, and the bed for the other person had been completely removed. "Thank you Kyoya." I said almost dissmissively as he nodded his head, and closed the door behind himself. I laid back against the soft pillows from home, and instead of getting under the covers, wrapped them around myself harshly almost squeezing the air out of my lungs.
"What am I going to do about that club offer? It seems like it would help me, but, I don't know if I exactly want to try, and fall in love that way, and flirting with guys to make relations in the business world? That seems a bit much.." I said to myself softly as my eyes fluttered closed. "Maybe sleeping on it will help.."
