Chapter 1: Interview
________________
Kaiba Corporations
Domino City, Japan
2 months later
10:00am
The employee dodged fearfully, to avoid being hit with a brown manila folder, as it sailed across the room, aimed for whatever part of her body that it was aiming to attack, spilling its contents on the spotless and polished black marble floor.
"If you cannot compose a folder properly to my liking, then perhaps you should consider yourself gone from this corporation!" a deep, cold and venomous voice shouted angrily with and edge that sounded like a cobra's hiss. The employee, fearful for her life was frozen to the floor, staring at her infuriated employer afraid to move and pick up the contents that spilled from the folder. Her employer glared at her, venomous rage burning through his iceberg blue eyes.
"You will pick up those papers Kuzuki and you will go over them again, one by one. And when you go over them, you will make sure they are composed properly to my liking and they are composed on time because if they aren't composed to my liking and they are not here on my desk before this day is over, you will see the pink slip in your hands and you will remove yourself from this building or the guards will throw you out. Is that clear?"
The woman was too afraid to utter a reply and this only infuriated her employer further.
"I said is that clear?" he shouted darkly with a snarl, his teeth gritted together.
"H-H.Hai Kaiba-shachou," the woman finally stammered, choosing her words rather carefully.
"Good, perhaps I should be pleased that I didn't have to repeat myself. Now you will pick up those papers and you will vacate the premise of my office and quickly I might add before I further lose my patience with you," the man said coldly, turning away to observe what was going on below his office, his iceberg cobalt blue eyes narrowed just as coldly as his demeanor.
The woman quickly gathered the papers and documents that were on the floor and in mere seconds she was gone quickly and quietly closing the door, lest she should infuriate her employer further.
Incompetent fool, she should be lucky that she does keep her job. I could have fired her on the spot, but then again, I fired too many people in one week already. But if anyone else decides to piss me off, their job will be gone without questions or any hopes of getting it back.
Twenty-six year old Kaiba Seto grimaced coldly, distorting his very attractive and handsome features slightly. Lately the employees had been acting pathetically impaired and he was slowly losing his patience with them. If any of then dared to step out of line, he would personally make sure that they would find themselves on the unemployment line. And that was a guarantee because he never went back on his word and if he ever went back on his word, it would be for a good reason he himself would see fit.
Kaiba Seto stood at a very impressive height of 6'4 with an equally impressive array of muscles and a slim waistline indicating he was well in shape, indicating he wasn't a weakling, given his tall composure. His dark brown hair was neatly cut as always, some of the bangs falling down his face and his frozen cobalt blue eyes were emotionless, empty, devoid of any feelings. His complexion was white and seemingly pale looking but was nevertheless a normal complexion.
He was wearing a dark black suit with a dark gray shirt and a crimson red tie, followed by very expensive leather black shoes. Overall Kaiba Seto had grown up to be an immensely attractive man, but yet his heart had seemed to grow colder.
It was yet another cloudy day in Domino City, Japan as noticed by Kaiba as he looked outside the large rectangular window of his large office, the window freshly scrubbed and cleaned to the point he could see his own reflection clearly. The office was everything an expensive office could have been, a large mahogany brown bookcase encircling the room, filled with what seemed to have been an endless amount of books, nearly polished black marble floors and walls as well-also marble, as well as a long, thin rectangular glass desk with a large black laptop, a black speaker phone and manila folders filled with different documents based on a new project Kaiba Corporations had been working on.
Kaiba Corporations had changed in the space of ten years since Battle City Tournament. Kaiba didn't wish to think back on what happened and for the sake of his corporation he wished to put that behind him. What mattered once again was his corporation and now twenty-one year old brother Kaiba.Mokuba He had to admit, he was very proud of his younger brother because his brother was helping keep Kaiba Corporations in check and he was in college at the moment. After Battle City Tournament, Kaiba had found a small respect for Motou Yuugi and his friends but that didn't mean it went beyond that respect. They were still incompetent and weak in his sight and he certainly wanted to keep that small amount of respect at a minimum. He did not want that respect going any further than it was now.
He still considered the mutt Jounouchi to be nothing but garbage in his eyes; however he was rather intrigued by the young woman that was with the mutt most of the time. He didn't know much about her, except when he caught a glimpse of her in front of Kaiba Corporations two months ago with her innocent composure. His eyes narrowed at the sight of seeing her, his iceberg eyes following her as she then left, going after the mutt. He assumed she must have been his girlfriend but nevertheless Kaiba Seto did not care. He did not care about the mutt- as he preferred calling Jonouchi Katsuya or the young woman that had been with him.
Suddenly, while he was thinking and meditating on what he had seen two months ago, the speaker phone rang, interrupting the silence in the room. Kaiba narrowed his eyes further and turned away from the window of the office, eventually making his way to the desk, reaching over and pressing the button of the speaker phone, while contemplating whether to fire whoever dared to interrupt him out of his thoughts or not.
"What is it?" he demanded in a monotone voice, so emotionless and cold that it made the person on the other line shivered uncomfortably. He could sense them quivering and he enjoyed it. Sometimes making employees squirm and shiver was what Kaiba Seto enjoyed.
". Kaiba-shachou.r-right n-now I'm interviewing s-someone f-for the secretary j-job.I w-will be sending her to you in a f-few minutes," the female voice on the other end replied fearfully, afraid that of she breathed a little too hard, she would lose her job.
Kaiba slowly grinned rather cruelly and darkly as well. Perhaps today wasn't all together miserable and God-forsaken hellish for him. It would be hellish and miserable for someone else.
He had yet another interview to conduct for the secretary paid-internship job Kaiba Corporations were offering. Since three college girls had been turned away in tears and fear of Kaiba's wrath and cold demeanor, no one had dared to come up for the job since then. Kaiba intended to grill and sabotage anyone that cam in for the job, until he saw fit they were the right person for the job.
It would seem he had another victim in the hot seat and he would enjoy very much to make them squirm and uncomfortable in his sight.
"What is her name?" Kaiba asked in the same monotone voice as he pulled away from the desk to observe the scenery outside yet again from his window.
"S-Shizuka.Jounouchi Shizuka sir," the woman replied yet again in the same fearful voice.
Kaiba's cobalt blue eyes narrowed yet again.
Jounouchi Shizuka? I didn't know the pathetic mutt had a sister.that may very well be interesting, very interesting indeed. A Jounouchi applying for this job? Humph, I would have never expected a pathetic Jounouchi finding themselves in the corporate business world. Very well, I would like to see this particular Jounouchi. Could she be that young woman that was with the mutt two months ago? I still remember that day.
Kaiba's dark grin only became wider the minute he heard the name. Yes this interview would be very interesting indeed.
"S-Sir?" the woman asked from the speaker phone then.
"Very well," Kaiba replied coldly, very much anticipating to meet this particular young woman so he could just toy with her and see if she was as moronic as her brother. "When you are done with her, send her up to me. I'll be waiting Yatzuya."
"Hai Kaiba-shachou," the woman replied and the connection was ended immediately.
The CEO/president of Kaiba Corporations kept his dark grin intact.
Perhaps today would have its surprises and anticipations after all.
----
Jounouchi Shizuka froze the minute she heard the woman speaking to what seemed to the CEO/president of Kaiba Corporations Kaiba Seto. She only expected to have only one interview for the secretary paid internship job. She didn't anticipate she would have to see Kaiba Seto as well.
I thought this would have been it.I didn't know there would be two interviews. Its bad enough that I'm nervous right now, I really want this job, and I'm really hoping I get this job. Maybe I should ask her why I have to see.him.
By hearing that deep, cold sounding and raspy voice, it sent a shiver down her spine and somehow a second thought was going through her mind as well as a voice that seemed to have belonged to her brother.
Stay away from him.
"Ms. Jounouchi?" a voice asked, belonging to the woman that had been interviewing her.
Shizuka nearly jumped at the sound of the voice.
It had been a week when Shizuka found out about this job at Kaiba Corporations from her college. It sounded and looked like the perfect job-it seemed to fit all the qualifications she wanted for a paid internship job. Her major in college was Business Management and Shizuka wanted all the experience she could muster, after all she would soon graduate from college and would soon be on her own.
But then again she was certain that she remembered her brother saying something to her some time ago, something about staying away from Kaiba Corporations.
This job does sound like the opportunity I've been waiting for. I mean this is a really good job from what I've heard. I don't understand why Joey would want me to stay away from here.but maybe I should just forget about anything he might have told me. It did sound a little silly, I really need this job.but then again I have to see Kaiba.if I do get this job then I'll just have to be careful, that's all. That's all there is to it.
Shizuka smiled pleasantly then, to let the woman know that she was listening. It was a Monday morning, approximately 10:00 am. Shizuka didn't have classes at the moment, her classes started at 1:00pm so she had time to make it to Odibwa College for her first class which was Statistics.
She was wearing a dark stripped dress suit with a white shirt and high heel black shoes. Her long golden blond/brown hair was done in a French braid, emphasizing her beautiful features.
The woman that was interviewing her was Kimi Yatzuya, a woman in her mid forties with short medium cut dark hair, equally dark eyes and was wearing a light gray dress suit-similar to Shizuka's outfit.
She really didn't have an office; her workspace consisted of a small cubicle, next to other cubicles where other employees worked in. The large workspace was busy as usual, employees scrambling back and forth. The area was a dull color of light gray and white with papers posted at every cubicle Ms. Yatzuya's desk was cluttered, just like the other employee's desks. Shizuka was sitting in a black/silver straight back chair, her hands folded, anxious about the job was applying to.
"I'm fine.I heard you," she finally replied quietly then.
Ms. Yatzuya nodded.
"This interview between us for the time being is done. Mr. Kaiba would like to see you now for your official interview."
"May I ask why I have to see him?" Shizuka interrupted, trying not to sound too rude, but politely.
Ms. Yatzuya nodded, understanding Shizuka's question.
"Mr. Kaiba is the one that determines your eligibility to work at this internship Ms. Katusya, not me. I can only interview you before you see him. From what I've seen so far, your records are certainly impressive. You have a 4.2 average at Odibwa College and of course that is always a plus, along with your outstanding grades in high school. But of course all of this is left up to Mr. Kaiba."
"How can I get to his office?" Shizuka asked quietly, but strangely another second thought passed through her mind and the voice of her brother came back.
Stay away from him.
But she brushed it off then, shaking her head slightly.
You need this job Shizuka.it's been too long that I've been searching for a job.
This was an opportunity she didn't want slip by her at all.
"You will need to take one of the elevators to the 20th floor, walk straight down on your right and make a left turn. Mr. Kaiba's office is about five to seven doors down," Ms. Yatzuya replied as she then smiled, handing Serenity a manila folder that had her application and other documentations. Serenity took the folder, smiling at the woman as well, getting up from her seat, Ms. Yatzuya getting up from her seat, Shizuka stretching her hand out, shaking the woman's hand.
"Arigatoo gozaimasu," she replied, bowing slightly in respect.
Ms. Yatzuya nodded.
"It was a pleasure meeting you. Sayonara Ms. Jounouchi," she said then.
As Shizuka made her way out of the large multi-cubicle room, she was certain that she had made the right decision. This was only for college and all she would have to do is be careful.
She had made the right decision about finding out about this job.
But ignoring a warning, even though some of it had been remembered would amount to a costly mistake.
_______________________________________________________________ _____________________
Chapter 1 finished! Chapter 2 coming up. I hope everyone understands the situation. Serenity remembers some of what Joey had warned her about but because the offer for the internship job was too much to refuse, she will slowly disregard Joey's warning. But very soon she would soon realize the very, very high price of disregarding the warning. A very high price.
The profiles for the OC characters will be coming soon. Well byes!
