The Start Of Something New 2
You had already tried on at least five outfits or that's what you told yourself while you ignored the growing pile on the bed. Pairing a black cami with high-waisted jeans, you looked over your body, making sure you approved before leaving for KaibaCorp. Making sure to mask any sign of circles under your eyes, after staying up late researching and listing questions. Your heart was racing the whole way there, once you arrived you could have sworn you felt it stop. Deep breath, deep breath. He's just a guy, a really good-looking guy…. While waiting you noticed two businessmen, they were standing close by. They were talking about a project, KaibaLand, quickly making a note of the name, you continued to listen in. “Didn’t you know? Mr Kaiba is putting everything into this KaibaLand.” He grumbled. “Can you imagine? A theme park about all things Duel monsters?” His voice was laced with sarcasm. Odd… Doesn’t sound like they're on board. “Eh, doesn’t matter what we think.” The receptionist called your name, brushing off the comments that were overheard, you quickly made your way into his office, finding him once again sitting behind the large desk. “Morning” He didn’t seem amused, in fact, he looked like he was in need of a Redbull or something. “Do you intend to waste my time with useless formalities?”
Jerk. Maybe something stronger than a Redbull is needed.
“Thought I was being polite but if you rather we skip that then fine.” You shrugged, taking the empty seat he had prepared for you. You watched as his smirk grew, clearly, something managed to amuse him. “Mm, look at that. At least you aren’t completely useless… Now you’re getting it.”
Smug arsehole.
You placed a recording device on his desk, turning it on “Mind if I record? It’s easier for writing this up later.” He nodded “So, you became CEO at a young age, how did you prepare for it?” The interview went as smoothly as you had expected, it was nearing the end when you looked down at your list of questions
"Are you sing-... I'm so sorry, ignore that." Failing to hide the spreading blush that was consuming your face, you didn't look up until you heard him laugh.
I'm going to murder Tea.
Seeing how flustered you got amused him "I am."
Looking back down you saw the quick scribble from the earlier conversion. “What’s KaibaLand?” Your question caught him off guard, his eyes darted to the recording device, narrowing into a frown. Knowing you had struck a cord, leaning forward and turning it off “It doesn’t have to be on the record…” The silence seemed to last far longer than it had.
He finally spoke. “How did you even know that name?” Feeling suddenly flustered you tried remaining cool “I overheard it in the lobby” he continued to stare you down “While I was waiting.” You admitted truthfully, passing the recorder over to him, he looked taken aback “Here, check it yourself.” He held onto it, not giving any of his emotions away. He turned the device off “Hmm… It’s still in the early stages.” You nodded in understanding “Well, I’m sure with you behind it, it will be amazing.” He seemed happy with that, you started to pack away your things but you could feel his eyes were still on you. “Thank you.” You caught him off guard, summarising it’s not something he hears too often. Seto looked away, avoiding your gaze “Pfft, It was in exchange for the duel.” You smiled “Still, I appreciate it.” He quickly made his way, standing in front of you, he held out your recorder and feeling the warmth from his fingers you could feel a light blush spreading over you. “I, umm, I enjoyed today…”
Stupid! Just go live under a rock.
“Only because you don’t work for me, take my word for it.” He chuckled. You smirked “Bet I could take whatever you threw at me.” He seemed amused by your confidence “Eh, now that would be interesting.”
