Future Industries

Asami closes the office for lunch trying to clear her head. She couldn't believe how flustered she was. How could Korra just kiss her like that?

"Come on Asami, get it together. This isn't a big deal. This is nothing. It's just Korra. Your best friend. It's not like she did it on purpose or anything. She was obviously dreaming. So what's the problem?" She says pacing her office. She stands in front of a large floor to ceiling window closing her eyes. A brief flash of Korra's face appears in her mind. She sighs covering her face with her hands. "Urgh, I can't believe I almost kissed her." She says rubbing her eyes.

"I'm making a big deal out of nothing. So what if she's dreaming about me?" She says remembering what Gran Gran said about the Avatar having 'amazing' dreams. "I'm not lar and neither is she. Stuff happens. We both dated Mako for goodness sake."

She tries to shake some sense into her head. "Come on Sato, you have more important things to worry about. Like how Cabbage Corp acquired that fire nation contract. We've always been the exclusive suppliers for their airships."

She takes a deep breath as Korra pops into her mind again. She has an epiphany. "Wait, maybe I've been looking at this all wrong. Maybe this is just what girls do?" The more she thought about it, the more she realized that she didn't actually have any close female experiences to compare this to. She barely remembered her mother and most of the girls she went to school with were snobs so she didn't really hang out with them. The few friends she did have, they never even hugged one another. She was close to one of her martial arts teachers, but the woman was old enough to be her grandmother.

She releases a heavy sigh as she sits at her desk. She puts her head in her hands. "I need to talk to her before I lose it. I mean what if she likes me, what happens then?" She furrows her brow. "And who's Koh? Why does that sound so familiar? Koh. Koh? If she really likes me then why is she dreaming about me being with someone else?" Her thoughts are interrupted as her phone rings.

"Miss Sato, I'm sorry for interrupting you, but the CFO of Cabbage Corp is here." The attendant says sounding a bit distressed.

Asami takes a deep breath. This was a bold move. Fortunately she had seen her father deal with him before. Besides that she had youth and beauty on her side and the old man always had a weak spot for her.

"Show him in." Asami says standing as she fluffs her hair and smooths out a few wrinkles from her pant suit. She stands in front of her desk as the door opens.

She furrows her brow seeing a handsome young man with intense amber eyes walk through the door.

"Pleasure to meet you Miss Sato. My name is Lau Gan-Lan....Jr. I'm sorry for bothering you, but this was an emergency." He says smoothly but authentically. Asami was completely taken aback. She'd heard her competitor had a son, but she'd never imagined he'd be so handsome. She takes a deep breath and extends her hand to him. He gives her a firm handshake with a gloved hand.

"Please...have a seat. It's unusual to not go through the proper channels in this industry Mr. Gan-Lan." She walks behind her desk and sits down. "Fortunately, I have a few minutes, please explain yourself."

He swallows as he opens the briefcase on his lap. He pulls out a folder and hands it to Asami. "Miss Sato, my father is really sick. I am here in his stead as the new acting CFO of Cabbage Corp. I know this is unusual, but I had to do this secretly so as to not worry my father."

She opens the folder. Inside there is paperwork requesting that Future Industries take over the controlling shares of Cabbage Corp. She furrows her brow as she reads through the documents. "Excuse me Mr. Gan-Lan...."
