Nami's bus let off just down the street from Uchiha Studios. The front office was beautiful with a giant plant wall and a water garden. Her heels echoed as she walked across the room to the reception desk. A petite girl sat behind the sleek desk. She had a long blonde ponytail and a purple dress on. She didn't bother to look up when Nami reached the desk. Nami stood there, not wanting to interrupt the girls work.

She stood there until it grew awkward. Nami took the last sip of her latte and cleared her throat.

"Hello. I am Ms. Haruno's new assistant."

"Oh. Good morning! My apologies! My boyfriend just sent me some photos of his new art work. Wanna see?!"

"Oh, sure."

Nami smiled as the girl geeked out over the photos.

"I'm Ino by the way! Let's get you checked in."

Ino got her badge set up and took Nami's picture. Now she was headed to the ninety-fifth floor of the hundred story building. It was only one of many that the Uchiha family owned. Almost every building had suites for the family members and top stars who were signed on with Uchiha Studios.

Nami knocked of Sakura's door. She felt strange that her first meeting with Sakura and her manager, Alice, was in Sakura's private suite. She figured she would be spending a lot of time in Sakura's private rooms.

The door opened not to greet Nami but to release Sasuke into the hallway. This was supposedly Sakura's on and off boyfriend. He was also an actor.

"Don't you dare come back!!"

Glass broke and Sasuke pushed past Nami. He looked Nami up and down and smirked before storming down the hallway. The door was left cracked open and Nami pushed it open.

"Good morning Sakura! Good morning Alice. I am Nami."

"Ah, come in here Nami!"

Alice motioned to Sakura's bedroom. She sat at a large vanity hunched over and crying. Well, sobbing.

"Okay, Sakura, honey, I am leaving

"Okay, Sakura, honey, I am leaving. Here is your new assistant. She is highly qualified. I am going to run some errands. I'll see you when I see you!" Alice turned away from Sakura and faced Nami, "You are being paid to get her where she needs to be and get her there ready to work. Do whatever needs to be done. This is how we will communicate."

Alice handed Nami a phone and walked out of the suite. Nami was left standing in Sakura's bedroom. Everything was aesthetically pink and gold until Nami saw her reflection in Sakura's vanity.

"Uh, Sakura? Do you like... coffee or tea?"

Sakura picked up her head and wiped her cheeks, "The coffee in Konoha is shit."

Nami laughed and did so hard. This in turn made Sakura laugh.

"I agree girl. But you do like it?" Sakura nodded. "Okay perfect. Buy an espresso machine and by next week I promise I will learn how to make you the best latte you've ever had."

Sakura looked down at her phone, Nami was afraid she had upset the pink haired starlet.

Sakura looked up from her phone, "Okay, the Espresso 5000 will be here Wednesday."

Nami widened her eyes and laughed again, "Perfect! So, uh, there really isn't anything on today's agenda but I see you have to be at lot eight tomorrow at five a.m."

"Let's go shopping!"

Sakura pulled Nami out of the suite and down into a town car. They didn't return till nine at night. Sakura went straight to her room and dismissed Nami. She looked at the time and sighed. The buses wouldn't get her home till eleven-thirty. She would need to be back here at four in the morning. She was looking forward to this Espresso 5000 machine.
