Honestly, the first time I met him I thought he was a complete asshole. He seemed like the typical guy who had the idea that just because he is good looking and comes from a good family everyone and everything turned around him. Initially I hated him, even though I didn't know him at all. I hated him so much that I just wanted to avoid him every time I could. But even that, there was something about him that had caught my attention, and I hated that. I really hated how he had interested me. At first, I thought that all this attraction was fault of his 'charms', or even it was fault of his charismatic personality. I just decided to ignore those thoughts, saying to myself that in this way all would disappear. And it was working perfectly, I was fine because, thanks to my strategy, I was about to forget that guy... Until that day.

It was just another boring day at work. I was sat on my desk, doing some boring paperwork that needed to be finished before lunch time what meant that I had to work more than I used to do. When I finished this task it was a little late so I literally ran out of my cubicle to go to the main office and turn in the paperwork.
Have you noticed that when the more you need to hurry and it's already late the more the universe goes against you and makes you even more late? Well, that happened to me. On my way to the CEO's office, carrying the bunch of papers on my hands, I crashed with an idiot that wasn't paying attention to where he was going, and all the papers spread all around. And just how it was expected from me, I just yelled at him.

"Watch out, you idiot!"

He helped me to pick up the papers from the floor. When I lifted my gaze all I saw was some pretty blue eyes and I automatically knew that it was him. Dammit. From all the people in this world it had to be this guy.

"I'm very sorry for that. May I help you with something else?"

He kindly apologized with a charming smile, looking worried, though.

"Just get out of my way. I'm late."

I answered in a rudely way. Damn, some people are really stupid, I thought. I just kept walking to my destiny, and while I was letting him behind he just introduced himself from the distance.

"By the way, my name is Shinya Hiragi, I'm in the Human Resources department if you need something."

After his courteous entrance I just ignored him, keep going on my way.

Great, Guren. That day couldn't be worse, but to my good luck, it actually could.
When I arrived at the CEO's office I just had planned to left the paperwork and run away from there. But no, the bitchy faced guy aka my irritating boss, Kureto Hiragi, had other plans and he wanted to lecture me for my carelessness.

When I enter to his office he was sat behind his expensive wooden desk, staring at me.

"Well, Guren, I don't have all day, are you going to explain me what took you so long?"

And besides that, he wanted an explanation, come on! I just was late! It's not the first time that happens and I'm not the first person that does so.

"Does it really matter? Explain something to you is going to take me some time, time that I can use to be productive and improve the business."

I answered with a fake, sarcastic smile.  I know that guy since we were just brats and he has always been the same annoying person with that cocky attitude. I ended up working for him because our families are somehow related but my family has always been less important, even if they treat us 'equally'.

Kureto just stared at me as he frowned.

"Listen, Ichinose. You are working here because I had to hire you for the relationships between our families, but I can't accept that annoying behavior of yours, so please, move your incompetent ass out of my office and get to work if you don't want to be fired. You're getting me on my nerves. Aoi, guide this 'gentleman' to the exit."

"Thanks God that I know exactly where the exit is, you don't have to make your assistant to guide me. See ya."

I left the office, suddenly realizing something. Hiragi. That was the surname of that blue eyed guy who I crashed with a moment ago. Were he and Kureto related? I had never seen him before, and I know the Hiragi family since a long time ago. Maybe it was just a coincidence.
