Elder Daughter of Chiba's

"Sir, your mother has arranged a new assistant for you... Shall I explain the tasks to her?"

"Do that later, first let him bring me a cup of coffee; I'll give him some test first." My previous assistant was good too, but not many youngsters these days like staying in the country... Why would someone lose a good job in London to just work in ones own country. Em... I will... maybe?

"But Sir, Madam said you cannot reject her."

"Her?"

Another girl? but why? Mom's assistant is surely hard to deal with. She enjoys watching me get frustrated with girls around. She won't even reply to my good questions.

" Well, em... send her in, and don't forget the coffee... ( a sudden glare stares me ) ... I mean please?"

"Sure, but are you reading that again?!"

Damn it! I can't even read it. The girls in here are so much more sober, they deserve to be loved so much. Mom would be mad if she sees it, I'd better apologize later...

"Em... yeah... just a little... I promise I won't bring it again in the office... now send her in... please.."

Don't you dare think I'm weakling CEO, I talk like this only with Mom and Ms May(her assistant). Whatever, I'll have to scare away another girl. I'm just 28... Though that's not actually a just, but I can still wait till I fall in love.

A young man had entered with coffee. I'm looking at him as he has kept the coffee on my table and is now standing beside like a butler. I take the coffee, but then something crossed my mind...

"Where's the new girl?"

"Sorry Sir, I didn't introduce myself, I'm your new assistant, Kaito Chiba, and I was told to serve you coffee."

"You're a girl !?"

" Yes sir, and please have the coffee."

She looks like a boy and she's got the name of a boy. Whatever, its not my concern anyways. She emphasizes on the coffee a lot.

So, I take a sip. Eww.... what was that!

"Do you wish to kill me with that coffee!? This looks as if it has been poisoned!"

"I'm sorry sir, I haven't made coffee before"( she bows in apology)

"What kind of coffee is that? how much sugar did you put in?!"

I did not notice, but my volume raised a little too high. Everyone outside was hearing, the new girl was being shouted at on the first day, she must have felt very insulted... But the coffee was terrible! She did get a little angry, it was visible on her face. Bit still she remained polite.

"I'm truly sorry."

"That's not an excuse, coffee is the simplest..."

Suddenly she loses her temper..

"Sir, I'm not here to make you coffee, many companies ate ready to hire me, Mrs Lu requested me so I accepted... if you're that much bothered by the coffee, you may as well fire me immediately" (she raged in anger)

A simple SHUT UP was thrown at my face, as if she declared that there is nothing I could do to bother her. Hey plain and polite boy kind of image was destroyed in a second. I didn't have a mirror, but I was pretty sure that my face was in a shocked look. Good that, only the two of us were in the room. It is an awkward silence but not like those in manga.

Oops, it again slipped out of my mouth, but now's not the time to think about it. It's not a romantic silence, but it still has to be broken. She too had quietened after speaking and looks like something went completely against her expectations. Why does she look sad? Shouldn't she maintain that angry look or, if she's weak, she should start crying. But world's not always black or white, it's mostly grey. She isn't strong enough to keep up with that face, after all she is a girl, but still she is a strong girl, so she didn't cry. Ms May had rushed in at this moment. She hands me her phone and starts explaining this to her. My Mom is on the other side of the call.

"Hikaru, this is not right. This time your assistant is not your date, we hired her for she is too good at work. She is young and had just passed out from management courses and is now in great demand. Were you again trying to scare her away?

"No... em... this was... like coffee... and.. "

"Coffee? not again! That's your most common excuse to scare away any girl I select. She is from a good family so we don't want to make any fuss about it. She is the elder daughter of Chiba's. Due to some of their family matters, she is not a share holder of the properties, and thus she does not get involved in family business... keep that in mind"

So, in manga , that's what is like a 'heroine that is not favored by her family, had no right in property, but had stood up on her own.' Yeah, that's a good story but I prefer regular shoujo manga. Seems like Ms May was successful in explaining her the things. Life is gonna be hard if this goes on, especially the coffee...
