Now enjoy and please review!

Chapter 1

" Sakura! Another stack of documents coming up!" Tomoyo, my best friend and cousin shouted down the hallway. The clacking sounds of her high heels could be heard even a mile away. I looked up from the pile of documents I have already have on my desk and shook my head. It seems I'm going to have to overtime again. And it's near Christmas already.

"Just put it right there on the coffee table 'cause my desk is already full of documents!" I shouted to her as she appeared at my office door with her face covered by that stack of documents. She hastily put it on the coffee table and plopped down on my couch. She was exhausted from all that errand work. Tomoyo is my best friend and my secretary. Since young, we've been friends for the longest time and she would help me with anything. Until she married ERIOL, that scumbag's secretary. Now since she'd have a husband, we have lesser girl outings and shopping sprees. She even went home early nowadays and left me all alone at the company.

"Sakura, I can't believe that this year our company has even more requests than usual. I am exhausted with all this work." she whined and sighed. I nodded in response as I kept on signing and filtering the documents. Then I could hear her stand up and here goes again... her wish.

"Oh, I wish that you would marry someone and finally have some time to yourself since you clearly didn't even have the time to answer me." she said and sat in front of me to help me with that stack of murderous documents.

"Tomoyo, we've been through this a thousand times already. I do not definitely not want a man in my life to complicate things. And you of all people would know my love experience." I said looking at the dark-haired woman in a pinstriped suit opposite me.

"Sakura dear, I do know but its fun to fall in love. Look at me and Eriol, you could see the sparks." she looked at me and smiled as I shook my head to deny. I mean really is Eriol all she could think about?

"Well, you did once was a person who thought men were troublesome. And now you're all lovey-dovey with one. And really do you have to choose him out of all people? He's that scumbag's secretary." I said signing the last of that stack and ready to sign and filtered another stack.

"Sakura, how could you say that?! I mean okay, I was once like that but now Eriol has made my life even more wonderful and as you my bestest friend I would really want you to experience that wonderful too. You're beautiful that any man would want to fall in love with. I mean look at your luscious pink lips and those pair of emerald green eyes and your long flowing brown hair!" Tomoyo said impatiently to prove me wrong. But she was wrong, as my luscious pink lips are now charred due to the dryness and lack of lip balm, my emerald green eyes are now shadowed by the black rings around them, and my long flowing hair, it is now tied into a bun and it's dry like grass.

" Yea, yea... I get it now. Will you help me with this heavy stack of documents?" I sighed and pretend to accept her saying. Tomoyo's happy that I finally accept defeat and smiled.

After some hard work and sweat but during this cold weather there's hardly any, we finally signed and filtered the whole stack of requests. And it's already eleven o'clock night time.

"Finally we're done!" I shouted in happiness and relief to know that the burden is being lifted. I slumped into my big chair and sighed. Tomoyo sighed too after hearing me. We both share glances and laughed instantly like our chemistry has sparked.

"Why don't we have a big bowl of ramen at Cat's Eye Ramen?" I said standing up to keep my belongings into my ever so heavy bag. Tomoyo's face frowned upon my invitation. Let me guess it's Eriol again. I swear that guy almost interrupts our dates every time.

" Sorry, Sakura but Eriol and I had made plans to eat supper together and then watch a movie at home." Tomoyo soon stood up and started to keep her belongings too. I frowned upon her response then I sighed.

"Fine then, I swear your husband is a nuisance to me." I said and walked beside my dark haired friend down the hallway to the elevator.

"Don't say that, Sakura dear. I promise that next time I'm going to eat ramen with you like old times." Tomoyo put on a apologetic face and said. I shook my head in dismay.

"And that's the hundredth time you've said that." I said and laughed but I'm sad that my best friend is no longer always there for me. Remember the times when she used to chase me around to get me to try on her designs. But now there's not a design in my sight.

" But this time I swear I'm really going to..." Tomoyo trailed off with a smile to assure me. I shook my head and smiled as we walked into the elevator.

" And that's the thousandth time you said that sentence. Really Tomoyo, don't make such empty promises." I said with a loud voice, I'm sick of her rubbing her happiness on me and I'm sick of her putting me aside when there's no one else I could talk to. Tomoyo was shocked with my sudden reaction but she put on that same old apologetic smile when I'm mad at her.

"Sakura dear, I know you don't mean that. So..." Her voice was getting smaller by the second as she said that. I looked down at my black flats and frowned. I shouldn't have said that.

"I'm sorry, Tomoyo. I know you really wanted to be there for me." I said then smiled at her who was trying to hold her tears. She then also smiled to my words sincerely. As we stepped out the company, a gust of cold wind blew toward us. And I could feel the shivers down my spine, this year's winter is really getting on my nerves. Maybe a big bowl of hot ramen should do it. Looking across the big tall building opposite the company, I frowned. Then a dark haired man carrying a briefcase who was wearing a dark black suit with a blue striped tie came running across the road hurrily, I'll let you guess who is it.

"Tomoyo! You didn't wait long,did you?" the man said panting as he finally reached his destination. Tomoyo patted his back and put her hand over his and smiled.

"No, sweetheart. We just finished." Tomoyo replied sweetly as the man squeezed her hand in his. I guess you know it by now who it is, it's that scumbag's secretary and my best friend's husband, Eriol.

"Oh, hi Sakura-chan." after giving a quick kiss to his wife, he turned over and smiled at me. I gave a smile back. He was still as charming as ever at least better than that scumbag.

"Hi, Eriol." I said. I wonder when has that scumbag been so nice to let him off before midnight this time. Hearing Tomoyo, Eriol always went home late and tired after work. And it has to do with that slave driver. So on what occasion that he'd let him off the hook this time, I bet he ate the wrong pills today. Hopefully poisonous ones. That way I could rule over Tokyo's landscape and decor's business.

"Sakura- chan, he let me off because he had a date tonight and it has nothing to do with eating the wrong pills. I do hope you would stop cursing Syaoran 'cause he's been sneezing a lot lately." Eriol pushed up his glasses and said with a smirk. I went agape at his words.

"Oh Sakura dear. You're still so easy to read like an open book." Tomoyo giggled to Eriol's comment. She do know how much I hate Sya... I mean that scumbag. I glared at them at their jokes.

"Oh, don't you start about him. You're going to make me puke out this morning's breakfast." I said angrily at them who was laughing their asses off.

"Sakura-chan, Syaoran isn't that bad you know. And as most women would say, he quite handsome, charming,..." Eriol beginning to list out that scumbag's good points as Tomoyo nodded in agreement.

"Don't you two ever mention him in my presence!" I said while turning my heel to walk away from this bullying. They love to tease me all the time. That scumbag isn't one bit handsome and I would love to cut his ' dignity' off.

"Sakura! Remember tomorrow I'm having a day off!" Tomoyo shouted behind me and I gave her a wave back. She told me she going to have a trip to Hokkaido with Eriol tomorrow and I'm going to work without a secretary tomorrow. Some day I'm definitely going to fire her.

Walking down the street pass numerous couples holding hands, I realized that I'm the one lonely, I mean I'm not old or anything, is 25 considered as old? I shook my head and looked into the boutique store when I came across something nice. It was a navy blue strapless gown that was long until the ground with a big white ribbon on it. It would be nice to wear this but looking at it with sad eyes, I knew that I'm never going to wear it 'cause there's no one to dress up for. Then I walked forward towards Cat's Eye's Ramen.

Just then something hateful caught my eye as I walk near to the restaurant. A black Mercedes was parked in front of the restaurant and if I recall, that number plate was definitely that scumbag's. Then a man with messy brown hair with auburn eyes came out from the car. And I stopped my footsteps just ten meters in front of the car. He was wearing a black suit with a red tie today and he opened the door for a tall slim blonde haired girl who was wearing a red strapless mini dress with a silk scarf wrapping around her. I shook my head in disgust, that girl definitely is a money chaser. Does he have to ruin all the hearts of the women in Tokyo? I mean even if he is the most eligible bachelor in Tokyo with good looks and load of cash, he shouldn't be such a playboy. Then I turned my heel to leave, I don't even want to see him right now. And worse yet, maybe he wanted to eat at Cat's Eye's Ramen?

"Going somewhere, Kinomoto?" that low yet sexy voice said behind me. Too late, oh no... I turned over with a smirk. He was looking at me with a playful smirk on his face and that woman's arm was draped across his arm. Like a gentleman I see, as if.

"Oh, I was just going to look around before going to eat some ramen. What about you, Li? " I said walking towards the restaurant. He smiled, smirked in fact to my answer.

" Well, I'm going to take my date to eat at Le France." he said glancing to his date and smiled. Le France, the most expensive restaurant in Tokyo 'cause of its tiny portions but a millionaire like him doesn't even have to worry about their prices. I bet he's a regular customer too 'cause of his expensive dates.

"Well have a fine dinner then as if I care." I said then walked into the ramen restaurant to sit in my usual place near the counter. He laughed at my action and took his date next door to the Le France. Seriously, he annoy me a lot. The restaurant owner, Umibozu greeted me as usual and I ordered my ramen. Every time after work I would not fail to eat his ramen. I mean who can resist it?

"Here you go, a bowl of spicy beef ramen with extra egg." Umibozu said placing my ramen before me. The fragrant smell of it could make me drool. I said itadakimasu then chomped down the ramen.

"I saw you talking to that millionaire just now, you know him?" he asked while preparing another bowl of ramen. Umibozu is my next best friend since Tomoyo married. I used to complain to him about work and a lot of things. I choked on my ramen and quickly drank a mouthful of water.

"Well, I just hate him that's all. His company's just across the street." I said calmly and continued eating my ramen. He nodded and smirked suddenly.

"You fancy him don't you?" he said suddenly and I choked again, coughing. His wife, Miki quickly came over with a glass of drinking water. Then I drank the whole glass.

"No, I do not. Stop making false assumptions!" I said a bit too loud and everyone was staring at me mostly middle-aged men. Miki sat beside me and laughed.

"But Sakura-chan, you know my husband doesn't make false assumptions. And you're easy to read of all people." Miki smiled and said while I finished the last of my ramen silently. Wiping my mouth with a tissue I shook my head in deny.

"No, I do not like that brat. For a 26-year-old, he quite immature. I mean who picks on their business rivals?" I said trying to defend myself. Miki laughed.

"But he doesn't look immature to me, instead he's quite a looker." Miki said while I try to puke. He disgusts me.

"Miki." Umibozu muttered after being silent so long. And Miki frowned. I smiled at their couple act.

"Well, I'm a woman too you know, honey? Of course, I look at hot men too." Miki said naturally while I laughed. She's 30 and she still has it. Umibozu grunted and kept on preparing bowls of ramen. They been married since I met them and they still humor me all the time. I paid for my ramen and left again into the cold streets. As I reached home, I plopped down the couch in my working suit, untied my bun to let me hair flow down my back. I'm so beat. The house was silent since I'm the only one here. Father has gone to Hawaii on a holiday since it's too cold here and Touya was at work in New Zealand. But I'm used to me all alone at home. I sighed and went to bed. Maybe Tomoyo's right about me being lonely.
