To the Board Room

Walking into the office after a long night Orihime felt refreshed. She passed her staff members who worked briskly at their cubicles. She always liked it that way. More work done meant more rising for her company.

Orihime walked to her favorite staff member, Hanatarō Yamada. He was sitting very close to his desk trying hard to concentrate on the task at hand, not noticing Orihime's presence by his cubicle.

Clearing her throat Hanatarō jumped dropping what he was doing to stand up and bow to his CEO. Waving her hand Orihime took a seat on his desk and stared at him.

"Madam CEO, good morning. W- would you like some coffee?"

Smiling Orihime placed her hand on his head and ruffled his hair.

"No thank you but I wanted to know how you are doing?"

Smiling he responded, "I'm doing great, thank you again, Madam CEO."

"That's good to hear." She slowly stood and continued to eye him to make sure that he really was unharmed.

Since Orihime came across his application while looking to replace a thieving staff member, she became attached to him. His background reminded her a bit about herself. Most of his life is a mystery to his coworkers but to her, it's truly amazing how he grew up. Even though he is shy around her but after many times seeing her he grew accustomed to her bubbly personality that she keeps hidden. Some of the staff members became jealous of their relationship. Automatically thinking he was trying to get his way to the top they thought it was funny to pick on him and sabotage his work. When Orihime got wind of this she strolled in the staff section of the office while they were picking on him and made a very big scene with those involved. Since then, no one has tried to pick on Hanatarō, and Orihime liked it that way.

"I'll see you later Hanatarō," giving a happy smile while walking towards the elevator. She had some work to be done before going into her 10 AM meeting.

Walking off the elevator Momo was sitting at her desk quietly being sure not to make eye contact with her boss.

Orihime stood in front of Momo's desk before entering her office. After last night she really wanted to clear the air.

Momo worried as to why her boss was standing in front of her desk for so long without saying anything, she decided to look up from her computer and looked into the beautiful amber eyes of her boss.

"Come into my office," Orihime turned and walked into her office.

Speechless from the sudden invitation Momo slowly stood and strolled into the office then waited. She stared at her black flats on her feet waiting for her boss to acknowledge her presence. After standing in the middle of the office for what felt like forever; but was only 5 minutes, Orihime cleared her throat. Momo looked up and stared at her boss. The fact that her boss was accomplished at such a young age of 25 and stood tall with her nude-colored stiletto heels with a white colored matching pants suit, her auburn hair pulled down on one side of her face, her cherry-colored lip gloss and very little make up that just brighten her appearance with a sweet smile on her face took her off guard.

Why the heck is she smiling?

"Hinamori, I would like to apologize for my rudeness last night. I also want to thank you for being worried about me, but you don't have to worry anymore, okay? It's good to know that you care for me."

Momo letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding nodded and smiled back at her boss.

"You're very welcome Ms. Inoue."

"Good with that out the way, what is this meeting about that should be taking place in about 10 minutes," Orihime said while checking her watch.

Momo quickly got back into a work mood and started down her list for Orihime.

"At 10 AM you have a meeting with a client name I. Kurosaki. He is the CEO of the Ancient Colored Collection. This meeting is about merging his company with your own to gain more sales in the markets. Then aft-"

"Merging? I'm not merging with someone I don't know Momo."

Momo jumped. Whenever Ms. Inoue used her given name, it was to be taken seriously.

"Ma'am, I left his information on your desk over 3 months ago. And I continued to email you about the upcoming meeting and what you needed to know about him along with his company's info."

Orihime bit her lip. She did receive those emails and she skimmed through the information about the guy, but she didn't pay it any mind. She quickly ran to her desk and pulled out the papers containing the information on me. Kurosaki. She tried to read about it, but she knew she didn't have time. It was too much to read in less than 7 minutes. She looked towards Momo who looked as nervous as her. Suddenly Momo smiled.

"Ma'am, may I accompany you? That way I can fill in any gaps that may seem too hard for you to remember."

Orihime smiled. She knew she hired this girl for a reason. Orihime nodded and grabbed her cell phone. She walked towards her door with Momo right behind her. They have a lot to talk about while heading to the board room.

Walking with grace Orihime walked into the board room with Momo behind her with a straight face. She was not merging with some people because their sales couldn't reach out to the world as her merchandise can.

Walking around the table, being sure not to make eye contact with the 3 people that sat at the other side of the table, Orihime made her way to her chair at the head of the table. Taking a seat Orihime took the papers from Momo and skimmed through them one more time before flinging it on the table. Leaning back, she placed her arm on the armrest of the chair and placed her head in the palm of her hand. Taking a deep breath, Orihime was prepared for a fight. Opening her eyes, she looked straight ahead at the three people that sat at the other end of the table.

Cutting through the bullshit she got right to it.

"The answer is no."

I love her attitude!
