Chapter 13 - Working like Strangers Pt.1

Kenshin's P.O.V:

Two more days had passed since I visited Amaya at the hospital and I have heard from my secretary that she is fully recovered and ready to get back to work. I was busy thinking of what might happen today as we are going to start our first day working with each other. Is it going to be awkward? Or is going to be fun? My heart almost dropped when my phone rings as I was busy thinking of scenarios.

It's Lycoon calling. "Hello, baby," I answered the phone immediately. "Hello, daddy? Did you eat lunch?" He greeted me with a question. "Yes, of course, baby how about you did you eat your lunch?" I asked him and he nodded. He's playing with Hana's son, They look so cute. "We had lunch together," Lycoon said, dragging his new friend with him.

We had fun talking on the phone and I saw Amaya already entering my assistant's office so I excused myself to Lycoon. "I'll see you at home son, bye," I said before turning off the call. I fixed myself and waited for her to enter. She looks just fine, I wonder if she's doing okay if she's finding our son or what.

"Good Afternoon Mr. Kenshin." Amaya greeted me with a sweet smile. "Good Afternoon, So how are you now?" I welcome her. "I'm doing fine now thank you for your concern and the flowers you sent to my room." She thanked me. It's strange that she's acting so professionally when thanking me. "I hope that made you feel okay," I said and motioned her to sit.

"Thank you." She thanked me again. "So how would we start working?" I asked her. "We wanted to start the tour here. Because the first part is the environment of the workers here." Amaya explains to me. "Sure we may start to look around while you ask me questions. Is that okay than just sitting here for the interview?" I suggested to her as I wanted to go home early for Lycoon.

"Sure. If that is what makes you comfortable." Amaya answers. "Sorry for changing some parts. I just need to go home early." I told her and she nodded. "No it's fine we matter your suggestion." She said. "Thank you for agreeing with me. Shall we start?" I asked her. "Sure, are you done reading the question scripts?" She asked. "Yes," I answered.

"Did you prepare your answers?" Amaya asked me and waited for me to give her my answer sheet. "I don't write my answers I prepared to answer naturally," I told her and gave her a smile when she looks at my face. Her innocent gorgeous eyes make every bit of me excited. "I respect your decision. Shall we start?" She smiles at me awkwardly. When will be our environment peaceful without any tension and awkwardness?

Since you arrived here kitty. You never made yourself comfortable. Is that how you despise me? You are desperately separating yourself from me like I'm some kind of virus crawling to your feet. You are making me sick of myself, why are you making me feel this way? What's with you that you feel like a poison drugging me and I can't get enough of you? Now it feels like you are the one toying us, and I'm not in control.

"Are you okay Mr. Kenshin?" She waved her hand at me and act like a stranger again. I have to calm myself and get away with this unwanted feeling that's crawling toward me. "Let's start outside." I casually told her and made myself out of my office. "Take a good capture of my building. I have this perfectionist side when it comes to my creation." I said in my usual boss tone.

Luckily I can pull up my old self again. Remember this Kenshin she is just a girl and you don't have to treat her better like Akane. I ride the elevator that is made for me. "Please use the other elevator, Ms. Amaya, this is my personal elevator," I ordered her. Her eyes looks shocked but I didn't mind it. I will avoid being too close to her, you wanted to be treated as a stranger right? Spoil yourself with it.

I arrived quickly at the reception floor and went outside. My secretary and assistant follows me along with two guards as I ordered them to stay near me. I waited for almost 5 minutes before they arrived. I don't blame them riding the elevator from the top floor down to first floor again might be hard especially since it has thirty-four floors in total.

I have the fastest elevator technology in the whole country so they only took a couple of minutes but still, it irritates me to wait. As soon as she got out of the building I greet her. "Let's work faster. I only give you permission to take two hours of my time no more extensions, cuts, and re-takes take that I mind. If you have a problem it won't concern me. And it will not also be a big deal if any from your team decided not to continue this. Take that in your mind." I strictly made my rules clear to her.

"Yes, Mr. Kenshin." She just obeyed. Maybe she's shocked by the change of environment but I don't mind it anymore. I wanted just to finish this so I could go home to my son and get out of this sick presence. I started to walk ahead not minding her. I tried to clear my mind and put up my most professional self. I didn't bother to smile since I don't really smile at cameras.

I faced her and she stops walking. "Ready?" I asked and she nodded. "Yes." She acts professionally again putting her walls up. "Good," I told her and I see her opening her recorder. The photographers started capturing good photos of us. "Welcome to the main office of HK Corporations." I started the talk.

We entered the automatic door and the lobby greets everyone with a great ambiance. "This is the lobby and the information area. We have a sanitation area as soon as you enter the facility. We use the most expensive A. I technology to make sure that the workers and the investors have the same health treatment." I continued.

I didn't give her a space yet to talk. I just continue to tour her. "On the right side, we have the applicants, workers, and general inquiries waiting area. Here we have a virtual made forest to show one of our latest technologies. Every tree and stuff here is blue screen operated but you can touch some of the things here." I said.

"At the left side is the investor's waiting room. A VIP room was made for them. With painting and murals and also the holographic technology that completes the France ambiance in just one room. Of course, I made sure the designer uses the most expensive chandeliers here to make good light." I said.

"And this one is a statue of virtue made of 24 karat gold. This is a gift from one of the biggest charities in the world to me." I continue the tour. "This place is indeed luxurious." She blurted out. "Yes, I want every person who enters here to feel the luxurious service we offer no matter what status they may have," I answered her.
