"Good morning Eiri!" The cheerful voice of our desk lady greeted me first when I set my foot inside the office.
"Good morning too Shira!" I said my usual greetings and smiled at her.
"He's waiting for you" She informed me as I nodded gently at her.
Knocking on the door, I waited for his response and immediately, the sound of my phone ringing startled me. Walking a bit far away from the office, I went into the restroom and answer the call.
"Hello"
"It's Sunday today" The familiar coldness of his tone alerted me, and adding up to that was the phrase he just said.
Sunday.
I frustratingly bit my lips as I bang my head in accordance. I totally forgot the day due to some personal problems that happened in this past days.
"Yes...uh....should I wait for you or we can buy together?" I waited anxiously for his answer.
"Together"
Shutting my yes tightly as I clamped down on my lips, I internally squealed in delight as he said those words.
"Okay.....uhh...I'll wait at our house"
"Mmh" His voice sound lazy and I can detect a slight huskiness on his tone.
I hang up and then timidly look at the area and saw no one. Then I screamed so loud I'm afraid someone would misunderstand that there was a chicken being slayed.
The pounding of my heart didn't lessen and I could feel the rush of excitement on me. Walking away at the restroom, my feet were slightly skipping and a smile was graced on my face. Several staff look at me weirdly but I didn't notice it, still slightly immersed at the fantasy that will became a reality in just a few hours.
"Eiri! Boss was looking for you! Where have you been?" Shira said which made me awake my sense.
I totally forgot about my purpose here today!
"Thanks shira!" I waved her goodbye as I hurriedly walk into the office of our boss AKA. Mr. Hirasato.
Heaving a bit, I knock on the door and it suddenly open which made me look up.
What greeted me was his eyes, still intense and deep. My heart leap out of me as he continued to look at my eyes.
"Eiri? What happened? Li Jun?"
"Nothing boss!" Then I brushed pass him and went to Mr. Hirasato.
Mr. Hirasato, an old man in his fifties who is a kind, playful man and emits a fatherly aura. Everytime he smiles, his eyes would be gone and only his white teeth would show. He was a good ad generous man and his business was still steadily running up to this day.
I work for him as one of the leader for the designing department. I design clothes as well as jewelry for him. I was in a vacation so after that forced vacation he shove at me, I was now here in this company.
"I have found the best model for our new product, Li Jun! His tall stature and handsome face coupled with his fame would surely land us a big fat of meat (Money)"
Although he was kind and generous, when it comes to business, he is a cunning old fox. I don't believe that the company would survive if he wasn't a strategic, calculative kind of man.
"But....I mean there are some-"
"You don't want me wearing the suit you'd made"
The clear voice resounded on my back as I look at his face. I didn't show any emotion but the grip on my clothe tells otherwise.
"No! I believe she's just shock! I know she's really happy now, right Eiri?" My eye twitch in annoyance but I replied with a smile.
"Good! I'm sure this would be the best product of all!"
With his boisterous laugh and his belly slightly shaking, I smothered a laugh and look at the man towards me. His eyes were already gazing at me as I returned a wry smile at him.
This would surely trouble me a lot.
