Fidgeting. She's been awake for nearly 48 hours. She couldn't sleep, nor take a nap. She was too nervous. She still is. Today is the final interview for her employment in the Li Corporation, the company her father "applied for". Since the day she learned that her father Fujitaka Kinomoto sent her application as an executive secretary for the CEO of the Li Corporation on her behalf, she became restless.

"Dad, what's this?"

"What's what Sakura?"

She handed the mail that came early morning that day.

"This was addressed to me from the Li Corporation. To me! It states that I have a scheduled final interview tomorrow at 8am!"

"That's good news sweetheart. We should celebrate. I'll ask your brother…

"No! Please Dad. You don't understand. Why would they schedule me for an interview, final interview that is, when I did not send any application. Don't you find that weird?"

"I did."

"What?"

"You heard it. I sent the application. I saw the vacancy on the newspaper last week. And since you have been searching for a job for a month now, I decided to do it myself. All the documents needed were in the folder you placed on that table", Fujitaka pointing at the table in the recreation room.

"What? Why?"

"What do you mean Sakura? Aren't you happy? If you get this job, it will be good for your career growth. Getting in and working at the Li Corporation is no joke. I think you understand what I mean."

She looked at her father with puzzled eyes. She understood what this letter implicated. She understood that this can become her lifetime job. She knows her month-long job search is almost over. But she still couldn't grasp it. How come she will be having the final interview when she haven't had the initial interview nor the qualifying exams, which Li Corporation is known for being strict when it comes to employing aspirants. How did this happen?

"Sakura? Sweetheart, are you okay?"

"Huh? Uh, yeah I'm fine. I'll just go to my room to rest."

"Goodnight sweetheart."

"Good night dad."

Knock, knock, knock.

"Syao Lang?"

"Yes father, come in."

Syao Ling entered the room. He saw Syaoran seated on the swivel chair behind the wooden desk. Suddenly he remembered the old days when it was him who was seated in that same place. He would be very busy with signing the documents that he brought home from work. He was a work-horse. And he is now seeing himself in Syaoran, his pride and only son.

"Father, what brought you here?"

"Oh! I was just dropping by to see how you were doing. You didn't join us during dinner."

"I'm sorry about that. The company is very busy with the expansion of the fabric factory. I have to take a closer look at every detail to make sure that nothing will go wrong."

"It will work out well. I know you can pull it off."

"Thank you father."

"I'll be going now. By the way, tomorrow will be the final interview for the executive secretary post. I've checked the list and I want you to hire this girl."

He then placed a folder on Syaoran's desk. And left the room. He opened the folder and the first thing that he saw was a beautiful woman. Her smile was mesmerizing, but it looked sad. And those eyes, its like telling him to look closely so he can see her soul.

"Hep!"

What was he doing? He got tons of documents to sign within an hour and yet he is wasting his time starring at the picture of a girl he doesn't know whom is applying to work in his company. But he suddenly remembered his father's actions. He has never done this before since he took over the company. Well, He will have to worry about that the next morning, when he got time.

The applicant before her walked out of the room and a lady wearing an executive suit followed. She is the only one left out of the 5 applicants summoned for the final interview.

"Miss Sakura Kinomoto?"

Her muscle tensed when she heard her name and she felt like she could not move at all.

"Miss Kinomoto?"

"Ye… Yes! I'm here!"

The woman laughed at her action. She waved her hand urging her to stand and follow her. She panicked. She's nervous. Upon standing she tripped. She almost lost her balance and fell if she had not held on to the chair where she was seated. The woman looked back and smiled.

"Nervous? Don't be. Mr. Li is a charming person."

"Thank you." Then Sakura smiled and followed the lady to the room.

He is hungry and is mad at the fourth applicant. She was a typical beauty with no brain. He hates her type. The likes of her are nothing but nuisance. He leaned down to look at the folder of the last applicant. His heart pounded fast when he saw her again. The picture of the woman he dreamed of last night. Then the door opened. He suddenly felt like he lost all his senses, his palms were sweating and his heart was pounded harder. She's here. The face he could not forget. The woman, whom he had not met, yet was able to stir so much emotion inside him.

"Mr. Li, this is Sakura Kinomoto, the last and final applicant. Miss Kinomoto, please take a seat."

The lady took a seat at the table near the door. She prepared her computer to take notes of the interview. Sakura took a deep breath to look at the man who will be her future boss if she gets the job. When she laid her eyes on him, she gasp and made the "oh" sound. Then she quickly covered her mouth. The man seated before her is… he is Li… he's hands… Oh God! He is so hot! If I were at the mall right now with Naoko and Chiharu, one of us will surely check this one out. Can't wait to tell them about this Li man. His lips are soft, eyes that can look deep into one's soul. Ah! That body! So masculine. She completely forgot that she is about to be interviewed as she continued to stare. She continued to asses the man before her.

"Done assesing Miss Kinomoto?"

"Huh? Nope! Uh, no! I… I… I… mean. No I'm not assesing. I was just looking out… Uhm, I'm sorry Mr. Li it was rude of me."

She's dumb. Still she's adorable despite the stuttering. Well, I'm one damn hot God in the male population. It is to be expected that this Kinomoto Sakura will have such reaction. This girl with those soulful, warm eyes. The slightly pouted lips which made her look like a little kid scolded by her mother. Her hair neatly tied and those long slender legs. He was not disappointed upon meeting her. She is a sight you can't take your eyes off. However, she's here as an applicant. He must not look at her as a woman, she will become an employee of this company. Nothing more.

"So Miss Kinomoto, let's start the interview. I've got two words for you. IMPRESS ME."

NOTE:

I hope you will like it. Review please! Thank You!
