Chapter one

I was nine when this occurred to me, my illnesses and time in hospital was all making sense. I had a small case of cancer but at my age was very uncomfortable and dangerous, doctors told my parents to stay away as it was contagious and this made them more paranoid. They spent millions of pounds from the company to help my condition but it never worked. I was pronounced dead for one minute on the date 15/4/09 and the time 14:27, my parents panicked and my mothers heart rate went up so high she nearly actually had a heartattack. After a week my sickness was healing but the doctors were confused since I hadn't walked for 3 years and started again after 8 days. They said I was possessed but my mother told the police since she was disturbed by the behavior and we were one of the wealthiest families so everything we said the police believed. By the time I was 10 I was a normal kid again and was happy but my parents not so much. Since I moved in, their blood pressure went up and my dad started to cough up blood until they were both diagnosed with a more serious case of my cancer and died shortly after. Our family was in tears and I had to live with my aunt and my annoying cousin.

After a year I got a present signed with my parents signatures and read.

Since we may be gone when you read this we want to say how grateful we are to have someone like you. We are sorry we left so soon but we want to give you the biggest present anyone could desire, we are giving you our company. Your aunt will be running it until you are 18 we wish you luck and hope you are not afraid of boys anymore. XOXO. Don't forget how much we desired and worshipped the gift of having someone as amazing as you in our lives.

I burst into tears while my aunt held me. My cousin smiled and was laughing I could hear her, these walls ain't thick. My aunt was everything but my cousin was a douche. She tried to take things from me and sometimes would succeed if she went crying to my aunt. She would tell her to stop being mean and would ask nicely if I can give it to her to stop her wining. I always did but her wining wasn't helping the depression I went through until I was 16, I got over it soon after I was taken out of my private school and was moved into home learning.

I am a 19 year old millionare and own 4 companies after I bought them. They our in Japan, Europe, Canada and The USA. I am the owner of a designer company (in Japan) which make up to 300 million a year not including the other 3 companies. Most of the money goes into fabrics and sewing materials but the rest goes into rent and machines with only 10 million left over we save up so we can add our company into one more country. We have marketers who come in every month to check out our work they always agree and give us a pay rise in our company and also use our designs in advertisement, body supplements and even outfits in movies. My life was amazing until we met this one Marketer.

"Ma'am he is here." She informed. I crossed my arms over the desk and stuck my head up. "Im ready, let him in." I ordered. She opened the large double doors letting in a young man with black hair and his eyes, I couldn't see them that well. "Afternnon ma'am I am sir Kito hi." He mentioned I stood up and shook his hand sitting back down. He sat opposite me. "Well afternoon sir Kito hi (pronounced like hee.) I am Miss Yui Kie a pleasure to meet you in person. Our tour will start later but we will focus on my presentation right now, If you look at the screen you will see a table. Our sells our in blue and they have the designs names at the bottom of each one." I smiled turning the screen of my computer. "As you can see from the presentation our sells have increased in very high numbers since last year." I forced a long smile that reached from ear to ear. "Wow, I must say a high number only in the matter of a month, fascinating I would love to know more." He smirked tightening his tie. I stood near the window as my hair shone a light brown (since her hair is a very dark shade but glows in the light due to her mothers beauty.) and I held a form behind me.

"To conclude my presentation take a look at our magazine designs. I have taken a shot from an advertisement that has been used from one one of our past Marketers. The presentation on screen may be short but the true detail is from the tour of the building were you get to see the true work." I replied.

"You see in our workplace we make front of magazines for companies such as VOUGE for example. We have many of our own but as you can see from that, we do love to make desighns for other customers. This is one of our latest and most popular magazine covers Starring Miss Kati Lu who we will speak to later. She is one of our most famous and popular models that we have ever had." I stated. "This is amazing work I will be sure to come here many more times to get more information because so far I'm loving all of it." He smiled and passed the piece of paper back. The lady from before took ahold of it and put it in the stack she was already holding. "I will take that into consideration hehe we always have the time for visitors." I chuckled. "See I have a question Miss Yui Kie, Do you ever plan on thinking outside the box and doing more open shots because from what I can see here is dresses." I smiled. "Listen we do think outside the box but I love your question," The lady passed me some magazines and I layed them out on the table. "as you can see the ladies have moved from location to location to get shots. Some women even took the challenge to shoot in a bikini or even lingerie." I said. He apologised and followed me out the door. "I will be showing you around the floor I work on and the floor were you will see all the workers so you can get an image of our work." I spreaded my arms out and walked through the hall before reaching a door. "As you can see this is the presentation room which we mainly use when we have more than 1 marketer. If you come inside," I opened the door and let him in to give him a look around. "this room is in the middle of being refurbished due to a incident. We shall carry on but if you want more details please do not hesitate to ask or call me later." I stated and walked out the room and pointed to the door with my short acrylic nails in the shade of a blush pink.

I looked behind me. "This building is very modern but why so many windows?" He smirked. "Well the idea of the building is to stand out to those who may seek a fashionable look and also due to that we get more sells but I promise they are all worth it in the end." I smiled and he pushed his hair back. I felt my cheeks warm up so I turned quickly to avoid him seeing me blush. I switched my head to look at him before twisting my body around wacking my face with my hair and straightening my clothes. "Is there a problem?" He asked politely. "No not at all I just thought I dropped something how clumsy but I promise I do not usually act like this hehe." I tucked my hair behind my ear and looked up at him. I saw his cheeks go red before he smacked his face trying to cover it. "Sorry." He rubbed the back of his head looking away to avoid eye contact. "U-uhm I mean do you think the price is worth it too." He awkwardly looked back and smiled straightening his blazer and holding his notebook beside him. "Of course, here we know about problems some face so therefore we lower prices to reasonable ones so they can pay for a self-desighned outfit. Also we charge companies who ask for our help with clothing and shoots since they get them stuck on advertisements and what I said before we even sometimes get them used on taxi advertisements and most of the money goes us." I informed.

I smiled and stood up straight before carrying on down the hall. "Ahem If you look here you will see a hall full of draws and shelves that do not take much space but," I walked over and he followed so I opened a draw to show him. "we have different magazine designs that we have created here, the reason for this is because we like to keep old ones especially so we can get different ideas for example when we want to get a shoot but have no idea for a pose we take 3 old magazines poses and use them all to create one pose or sometimes we will reuse one because it got more looks." I answered. "Right so your saying you copy old designs." He pressed his pen on his lip while he questioned me sarcastically. "Sometimes actually no its really once I a blue moon we do that." I smirked and bent over holding my hair back in a ponytail. I carried on through the room and walked into the hall on the other side of the floor. "Evening Hari Tu. Would you like to see our marketer for this month." I urged him to shake his hand. "Um Evening Sir Kito Hi I have heard a lot about you this past week sorry I can't talk I'm just very busy at the moment but I promise you Miss Yui is the best manager ever." He waved and I blew a kiss and laughed. "You and your workers seem close." He smiled. "Well he's a friend from nursery he went through hospital with me." I replied. "I-I mean uhh you didnt have to know that." I rubbed my face and blushed in embarrassment my cheeks glew a rosy pink. "Its fine but if you wanna talk, call me around 9:30 am on saturday I'm always free on the weekend." He smiled. "Not the time, sorry. Anyway let's go downstairs now. Shui (Yui's assistant) call the lift." I ordered. "On it." She put her hand to her head and did the salute sign.

We got off at the floor. All the girls were at the desk in the dark because it was winter and it got dark quickly. They were on the computer marking outfits and others were at the shelves getting materials.

"Evening Ladies meet Mr Kito Hi our Marketer." I stated. "Oh wow thats the hansom man I saw walk in." One said when another but in. "I bet he's good in..." "HOLY QUACAMOLE! he is gorge." Another yelled. "Sorry they don't usually act like this. LADIES he is a Marketer." I mentioned. "Right sorry." They all looked at me and apologised. "Good now please may you explain what you have been doing and what you do in this room?" I asked. "Sure, well if you look around you may notice the lift lands in this room which means its the main one and if you go out the door on your right there is a hall and other rooms with the other groups we all sorted it from male and female. So on the right side are female groups and on the left are male groups but all of us are the main group. We answer emails and create 3D models in this room and print them so we can hand them out to each group. They make about 100 base copies of that in fabric in the matter of a week and thats in each group. Once they are done they bring them to the machines and get all the details." One girl explained. "Does each group do a different design?" He questioned. "No every month we stick with one design so if we do 4×6\= 24 which means we make 2,400 designs in a month in a rough example." Another calculated.

"Ma'am you can finish the details if you like." She smiled. "Well 3d models is not all they do. They do things like control the machines and its their responsibility to call someone if one of the machines break down. I didnt mention but they get a higher pay than everyone 5% more. They work here every night from 6am to 10pm so you could say nearly 24hours." I finished. "The room is quite cramp but it doesn't show when you think about the desighns they create." He said. "Very true, the tour is going to carry on but I need to get Miss Kati Lu from school before that so we can interview her so you will be toured by one of these lovely ladies and you can pick. Anyway they know the floor better than me. Again I'm sorry but we cannot interview her at school." I quickly got into the lift and collected my jacket from my assistant before heading downstairs to get into my car. She had after school clubs and would come to work after them so she would stay until 8pm. I drove to the school and when she jumped in I informed her about the marketer she redid her hair and while I drove I called one of the ladies. "Hello miss how can I help." She aksed. "If one of you is showing him to a room inform one of the girls to tell her that she needs to bring Mr Kito into my office upstairs and apologise again for me." I answered cutting off.

When we arrived I passed my coat over and walked into the lift making my way into the office. "Sorry Mr Kito for the inconvenience I usually do this in my every day work and she can't skip school because she is in the middle of her exams." I stated. "Its alright you can't help that." He smiled and crossed his legs and leaned on the sofa frame. "Wow! Sorry um Hi my name is Kati Lu a pleasure to be meeting you." She grinned wide and sat on the seat opposite me and next to Kito. "Right before it gets too late let's begin." I informed. "Right well I have some questions for Miss Kati Lu but a pain to ask do you have any copies of magazines with Kati Lu?" He asked. "Yes let me get some." I walked over to the draws near the door of the room and collected a couple in a pile to pass to him.

"Aha this is my favirout one. My signature can be seen near the bottom and it was made to represent female bodies and that we shall be strong in every way. I was so excited to were the wig I think I squealed all the way here." She laughed. "Well um since you started, what did you like about it?" He questioned. "The style and message I just liked the endless background and the bold picture in the middle and how it was saying 'get up and shake that body of yours no matter what size it is' and I think that letting people know that is the best feeling ever. Also I think that there is nothing I dislike about this." She grinned and stroked the end of her ponytail. "The questions will be based on the magazine covers so I can see the taste in which you like and also what you may like about the work. So the amount of covers and questions I have is the amount were gonna do." He mentioned and she nodded. I leaned over on the desk and listened.

"Who are the other girls in the picture?" He aksed. "They are all me! I wore wigs to pushup bras and tight socks to smaller bras and comfier clothes." She replied. "Was it worth it?" He said. "Surprisingly it was. I mean some were uncomfortable but not gonna lie it turned out amazing. It looks like a tonne of different girls in a group but really its just me in different outfits, wigs, accessories and emotions." She smiled and fixed her bow next to the top button.

An hour later...

"Well that will be all, thank you for the tour and the presentation they were both amazing." He mentioned. "No problem come back any time." I chuckled back. "Well I'm leaving in about 10 minutes since I have to wait for my car to turn up." He informed. "Oh its raining out so I will ask for a spare umbrella that you may use." I stated. "Oh why thank you." He said. "I'll wait with you until your car arrives since I have to cross the same way to get to my car." I informed. He smiled and we got into the lift and headed for the bottom floor to exit. We got outside and were soaked before our umbrellas were up. "Haha its cold." I laughed. He looked over and blushed. "Want my jacket?" I looked over and covered my face in embarrassment. "U-uh hehe no need. I'm okay." I laughed. "Dont look it. Um before I leave may I ask if I could get your own p-personal number I mean you seem...NICE! U-uh and maybe we could be uhh friends." He stuttered. "I would love too and don't worry I'm NOT COLD!" He laughed and stopped walking right before we were at the road. He passed me his phone and I quickly wrote my number. I felt dizzy for a second and I felt like there was a snow storm in my head and without thinking I started to walk. I thought he was right behind but I was wrong. I heard a beep and lights come round the corner I switched back into reality and noticed there was a car coming right for me.
