Chap1

The cold autumn breeze swept the city, sign that winter is just around the corner.

One raven-haired girl is walking rapidly, as if she were afraid that someone is out to get her.

She stopped at the front of her car. Reaching into her bag, she produced a set of keys, her car keys. She hurriedly entered her car.

' Maybe I'm just being paranoid.' The raven-haired said to herself.

She is Kaoru Kamiya, the vice-president of Kamiya Corporations. Her brother, Sanosuke Kamiya, is the President.

Her parents passed away when she was ten, her brother was sixteen. Since then, their uncle took care of them. Their parents made them the sole heirs of the company.

Once Sanosuke finally finished his degree in Business Management, he began to lead the company. He very successful, making the company gain millions, almost reaching a billion.

Kaoru came from lunch. She sped away from the restaurant after eating in record time of fastest eater. She felt being observed again. Her feeling that someone is watching her exists for quite some time now. She had that feeling whenever she goes out alone.

After sitting on the driver's seat of her silver jaguar, she placed her take-out on the passenger seat. She ordered lunch for her brother, he was so busy that he didn't had the time to go out.

Kaoru closed her eyes and leaned her head back on the soft headrest of the car. She took breathed in then breathed out, she did that several times to relax her mind and her body.

She felt being watched at the restaurant. Her feeling of being observed at is getting more and more frequent. She never told this to her brother, afraid that she would give him more problems.

After pulling herself together, she started the engine and drove off to the Kamiya Corporations.

After Kaoru drove off, a man entered his car, a black, two-door Ferrari.

He didn't start the car immediately. Instead he smirked.

' You will be mine, Kaoru Kamiya.' He said to himself.

Then he drove off.

……………………………………

"Oni-chan?"

Kaoru peeked into her brother's immense office. Behind the wide desk was a man with a slightly spiky hair. He's wearing a blue long-sleeved polo, two buttons unbuttoned.

"Kaoru?" He raised his head to meet the owner of the voice.

Kaoru smiled and entered her brother's office, her heels tapping the fine wood of the office's floor. She stood in front of him.

"What's the matter Kaoru?"

She smiled again then dropped a two large paper bags on his desk.

"I bought you lunch. I know you're too busy to go out, so I bought some food for you."

"Awww… What a sweet little sister you are. Thanks Kaoru."

Sano stood up, grabbing the paper bags, walked towards the coffee table across the room. He placed the paper bags gently on the glass table. Kaoru trailed after him, she helped him put the contents out. When the food is ready to eat, Sano sat on the steel chair and started to eat. Kaoru sat in front of him, watching her brother hungrily shove the food into his mouth.

"Want a bite?" Sano thrust his fork, with a piece of steak, into her mouth.

"Hey, what's the big deal? First you ask, then shove the food into my mouth, without waiting for my reply!"

"Heh heh.." was just Sano's reply.

"I already had lunch oni-chan." "By the way, what were you doing these past few days? You seem really, really busy on that stuff."

"It's about the agreement on our client abroad. If we are successful wit this project with the company, we'll get millions. Pray for our success, Kaoru."

"I always pray for you oni-chan. Who is this client? You seem really aggressive in getting them."

"Have you heard of Mitsurugi chain of companies?"

"The stable company in America? The one that is almost eight decades old and still strong?"

"Bingo."

"Wow."

"Is that all you've got to say?"

"Who is the president?"

"The President is a half-Japanese, half-British who grew up in America. He inherited the company from his grandfather."

"Who will he send here for the agreement?"

"He will come here himself. Actually, he came two months ago. Taking a vacation, I guess. This is his mother's home country, after all."

"Oh. Then, when will you meet, sign the contract, and all?"

"Next week, and I want you to be there beside me, as my sister and as the Vice-President. Okay?"

"Fine with me. Oni-chan, can I go to my office? I also have work."

"Yes, yes. Go on with your work. Be good!"

"I am always good, oni-chan."

Kaoru went to her office. Actually, it was located beside the office of her brother. Her office identical to the size of her brother's, it also has the same flooring. The appearance is opposite o her brother's office. Of course, it has a womanly touch.

She proceeded to her desk, she sighed at the pile of papers on her table, ready to be inspected, studied and signed.

She went on with her work.

…………………………………

The black Ferrari stopped in front of a five-star hotel. The owner of the car stepped out and handed the car keys to the valet boy.

He entered the hall of the hotel airily.

The man was in his mid-twenties. But he looked younger.

He wore a crisp white v-neck shirt, jeans and classy shoes. If you don't know this person, you might think that he is just a son of a rich business man who went with his father on a business trip. Well, he's much more than that.

'I can't wait for you to meet me, Kaoru. I will have you.' He thought as he traveled to his suite.

Finally arriving at his suite, he dropped himself on the soft cushions of the bed. He stared at the ceiling, and then closed his eyes. Sleep enveloped his senses.

……………………………………

"Kaoru? Are you there?" A petite woman took a peek into Kaoru's office. When she spotted her friend, she smiled and walked gracefully towards Kaoru.

"Misao, what are you doing here?"

"Visiting you, of course."

"Is it really me you want to see?"

"What are you saying my dear Kaoru? Of course I came to visit you, you are my best friend!" Misao said, acting innocent.

"Don't fool me, girl. You came 'coz you wanna see Aoshi Shinomori."

"I just want to shoot two birds with one bullet."

"Whatever."

"So… where's Aoshi?"

"Apparently he's working"

Misao Makimachi is one of the top fashion designers of Japan. She and Aoshi have been going out for a month. Misao is Kaoru's best friend; they are like blood sisters. Aoshi Shinomori is working as a Supervisor of one of the company's departments, a cold person, but not so cold when Misao is there.

"Can you call him?" Misao gave Kaoru pleading eyes.

"You are the one who needs him, so you call him."

"I want to surprise him. Please?"

Kaoru rolled her eyes before punching a button on her speaker-phone

"Yes, Miss Kaoru?" Said the voice of the secretary on the other line.

"Amanda, call Aoshi Shinomori. Tell him to proceed to my office immediately."

"Yes, madame."

"Thank you."

After five minutes, the two girls conversing heard a gentle knock on the door.

"That must be Aoshi." Kaoru said, looking at the door. "Come in, Shinomori."

"What can I do for you, madame?" Said Aoshi coldly.

"AOSHI!" Misao jumped out of her hiding spot. Aoshi was a bit surprised, he gave her a small smile, a very small smile.

"Can I borrow him for a few hours, please?" Misao asked Kaoru, her face giving Kaoru a pleading look.

"If Aoshi is finished with his work, then you two can go."

"I still have a paper to assess." Aoshi stated.

"Then, I'll wait for you. Come on. Thanks a lot, Kaoru!" Then they exited her office.

Kaoru resumed her work.

…………………………………..

The dark veils of night started to envelope the sky. It was near seven in the evening.

There was a knock on Kaoru's door.

"Come in." She shouted after the owner of the hand that knocked on her door.

The man entered the room noisily.

"Oni-chan, are you done with your work already?" Kaoru said without looking up.

"I'm not quite finished yet. I can continue those tomorrow. Anyway, its dinnertime, I'm starving. Let's go."

"Sit down, I'll just arrange these files."

Sano hummed while waiting for Kaoru. When she had finally finished fixing herself and the files, they headed to the parking lot.

Sano opened the passenger side of his red Aston Martin. Kaoru went in. he jogged to his side of the car, after getting in, he turned on the engine then drove off.

"Oni-chan, you must give me a ride tomorrow, okay? Since my car is at the company."

"Of course, sis."

"Where will we eat?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Umm…I want American food!"

"At an American Restaurant it is."

When they finally reached their destination and parked the car, they went inside the elite restaurant.

A waitress approached them the second they walked in.

"Table for two, please." Kaoru said politely to the lady.

The lady led them to a circular table located near the center of the dining area. After the two took their seats, the server gave them the menu book.

For the first time, Kaoru was oblivious with the feeling that someone is watching her.

A pair of amber eyes was staring at her back steadily. As if they were gulping down her form.
