♦︎Everything Will Happen♦︎ {Sasuke Uchiha x Reader} {Modern AU} - DISCONTINUED

Chapter 7

"You should have taken me," Naruto cried out in disappointment.

Ignoring his comment, you sucked on your straw with minimal effort. Your eyes were downcast and focused on your phone as you waited for Sasuke to respond to your messages. Worry was an understatement as to what you were feeling, and it didn't help that he was taking his damn time answering.

"Hellllooooo! Earth to [Name]!"

"I'm busy with something," you snapped. "Enjoy your meal and keep filling out your applications. Someone is bound to hire you in this city."

"Itachi already helped me before he left," Naruto countered. "You invited me here, you should at least entertain me."

"No, you invited yourself to our lunch. We were going to talk strategy but then you came by and had Itachi fill out your applications. He got pulled to work before I could have a meaningful conversation with him," you corrected him.

"Jeez, someone is in a pissy mood."

"And where's half the rent money?" you barked out.

"Ehhh, I haven't gotten a job yet! Be lenient, oh beautiful goddess!"

"Damn straight I'm a beautiful goddess."

Your phone rang suddenly, causing you to jump in your chair. "Finally!" You answered the call quickly, but your smile faded as another voice greeted you.

"Miss [Name], this is Madara Uchiha speaking."

Naruto sensed your mood dampen and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Ignoring Naruto's question, you tried to feign politeness. "How lovely to hear from you... I certainly wasn't expecting you to call."

"Well, it is only customary to send my condolences for missing your event. I hope you chose wisely with the catering," he hummed.

"I'm an event planner. I know what I'm doing," you rebutted.

"Yes, of course."

"Is there any specific reason for calling me?" you boldly asked. Knowing him, he enjoyed speaking as indirectly as possible, and you had no time for games.

"I was hoping you would visit my office this afternoon. Though I must warn you, there isn't a choice in the matter." His tone was threatening, startling you in the process.

"And why not?"

"As much as I appreciate your tenacity, I am sure you don't want the answer to that."

You didn't want to risk it. Madara Uchiha brought fear upon every strong Uchiha you knew. If they couldn't stand up to him, what made you think you could? "What time do you want me there?"

"I'll be in my office around six in the evening. I hope to see you there without Sasuke or Itachi, Miss [Name]," Madara said as he hung up.

You placed your phone in your lap as you tried to think of a reason why he would call on you... alone. You didn't want to be in the same room as him without Sasuke or Itachi! He was going to play you until you had nothing else to give.

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked. "You look scared."

But he didn't specify that you couldn't bring Naruto.

"Can you help me with something? I'll forgive you for the late rent," you offered sweetly.

The sudden change in attitude had him wary, but desperation forced him into accepting. "S-Sure."

"And you want me to wait out here why?" Naruto asked skeptically.
