Corporate Prince

Chapter 51: Tournament

Ana stood next to Sanae as she waited for the announcement to board the plane that would take Ana to Domino city. Her friend was holding back laughter. When they made eye contact, Sanae lost it and burst out laughing.

"It's been two weeks already! When are you going to stop laughing?" Ana glared at her friend.

"Probably never. You tripped on top of Kaiba Seto and then had to be taken to the hospital in a La han' dress. The way the nurses treated you like some sort of celebrity was pff haha!" Sanae laughed loudly.

Ana blushed as she remembered her date with Seto two weeks prior. Seto had taken her to the hospital, and she found out that she had a slight sprain that had taken a few days to heal. The moment they walked into the hospital, people were bending over backwards to attend to her. It had been very uncomfortable. Sanae had been visiting her father—who was now thankfully out of the hospital—when Sanae passed by and saw Ana sitting in the waiting room. Sanae had burst into laughter. I'm never going to live that down. What's more annoying is Amin-chan didn't seem to notice at all how embarrassing that was.

"So... how are you taking the long-distance relationship?" Sanae grinned at her.

Ana sighed. "It's not long distance. He just had to go back to Domino city for a couple weeks for work and to set up the tournament."

"Is your heart yearning for him, yet?" Sanae teased.

"No." Ana ignored her friend. How could it be yearning? He's called me every single night and messaged me throughout the day. I'm almost curious if he's even really that busy.

"Flight 456 for Domino City, now boarding zone 1." They made the announcement over the intercom.

"Well, that's me." Ana picked up her bag. Sanae dug something out of her pocket and shoved it deep into Ana's purse. "What was that?"

"Just in case. It's better to be prepared than sorry later." Sanae grinned at her. "Have fun at your boyfriend's."

Ana blushed and scowled at the same time. She hurried to board. Seto had mailed her ticket to her house. When she saw the first-class ticket, she was tempted to burn it, but resisted. Ana boarded the plane and sat down in a very spacious and comfy seat at the front of the plane. Hmm, this is a very nice seat.... I wonder what Sanae shoved into my bag? Ana opened her bag and shifted stuff around to find what her friend had shoved inside. She stared blankly at the black packets at the bottom of her bag until she read what the contents were. Ana quickly snapped her bag closed and shoved it under the seat. Her heart was pounding in her ears. Sanae! What the frick do you think I'm going to do with condoms! We've barely dated a couple months. I've only kissed him twice. Ana buried her face in her hands and resisted groaning at her friend's prank. She pulled out her phone and tried to distract herself with it until the pilot requested they turn off all electronics for takeoff. Ana put her phone away and tried thinking about other things to distract herself. I've never even seen him with his shirt off.... AHHHHHHHHH! The plane ride was a constant fight with her thoughts until they landed in Domino City. She got off the plane feeling very exhausted. When she arrived, she made her way out to the lobby and looked around at the people. It had been a while since she'd been alone like this. Her breathing sped up.

"Sakurai-oneechan."

Ana turned to the familiar voice and found Mokuba waving at her. She let out a small sigh of relief. A guard and a butler followed behind Mokuba as he practically skipped up to her.

"Oneechan?" Ana asked when he made it to her. It feels odd having him call me older sister.

"I can't?" Mokuba gave her puppy dog eyes.
