Mia's P.O.V

"And this will be your very own office!" Mokuba exclaims. The room was very large, a little too large. Everything was white and there was already a nice wooden desk with a lamp and a white cushioned chair with wheels. I took my time observing my surroundings.

Mokuba scratches the back of his head, "Sorry that it's so plain. When you get home, just email me what color you want the walls and what kind of decor you want." I bite my lip, "How much would I need to pay you...?"

Mokuba chuckles, "Nothing of course! I've got it all covered, so don't worry about anything. Also, don't be afraid to ask for anything." His beaming smile spreads warmth through my chest, "I appreciate that a lot Mokuba. I'm grateful." He just nods while walking out of the room, me following close behind.

"So does, um...your brother know that I'm going to be around?" I nervously ask.

'Why am I so damn nervous about this? I'm going to be making some good money for writing advertisements that I don't mind writing at all in fact...'

"Yeah, I'm going to-" Mokuba was caught off when the elevator 'dinged'. We were only half way down the long hallway. The elevator doors shifted open, revealing him.

His face held a cold gaze as he stares at us. "Hey, big bro! I've got some great news!" Mokuba jogs down towards the elevator, leaving me behind with my tightened chest. I slowly started walking after a few seconds. Seto looks at Mokuba but then looks up to face me. His face seemed to hold nothing but hatred, "What's she doing here, Mokuba?"

I look down at my feet, feeling ashamed for some reason.

Seto's P.O.V

I stare at her with some disgust. 'What the hell is she doing in my building?'

After I look away from her, I looked down to see Mokuba looking confused. "Well, remember how we talked about making more advertisements for Kaiba Corp and Kaiba Land? Well I happened to find out that, Mia, here is a great writer! So I hired her myself." A smile was plastered on his face, which I didn't really want to ruin.

"Listen, Mokuba, I appreciate that you're trying to help but hiring some girl off the streets without my consent?" I strictly say, not caring who this girl was. "But Seto, you have to trust me. Mia is very skilled with writing and she can be very helpful."

I look over at this...Mia, who happened to be gazing at the floor, biting her lip. 'Maybe I am being a little too harsh...'

I click my tongue and push Mokuba aside, sanding in front of the blonde haired girl. "Look at me while I'm speaking so it doesn't feel like I'm wasting my time." I say, adding some venom in my voice.

She slowly looks up, her smokey blue eyes looking into my sapphire ones. Her outfit was nicely matched while her hair was thrown into a loose bun, a few strands surrounding her face. She looking like she wasn't wearing no make up, but her lips shined with a little bit of, what looked like, lip balm.

Her scent suddenly hit me. The smell of sweet honey and sugar, a smell that everyone desired.

I inwardly shake my head. "I don't mind you working here but I'm setting up a few ground rules for you." I say. Mia nods her head, making me continue, "First things first, make sure you're here on time. When you make a mess of something, clean it up, got it?" I ask strictly.

"O-Okay." She mutters. "Also, don't stutter or whisper. It's a tad bit annoying." She nods her head again.

"I'll have a new computer and other supplies readied in your office by the end of today. When you're finished with your tasks, email them to me so I can approve of them if they are worthy or not. If you have any questions, ask now." I state.

The air was quiet for a few things while I waited for her to ask something.

She slowly departs her lips, "Um... how many days of the week do I work and for how long?" Her voice was much clearer now than a few seconds ago, which was proving to me that she can follow directions without any problems.

"I'll have Mokuba send you an email of your schedule later today. Now, I have business to attend. See you around, Roger's..." I walk past her and down the hallway.

Mia's P.O.V

As Seto brushes past me, I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach, which is weird considering since I just met him in person a few days ago and this is only our second encounter.

'How does he know my last name? Wait, he is Seto Kaiba, so he probably did some research on me or something...'

"Don't worry about him Mia, you're in good hands." Mokuba says kindly. I smile at him, "It's fine Mokuba. Your brother just shakes me up a little..." I mumble. Mokuba doesn't reply as we go into the elevator and make our way to the lobby.

"So I'm gonna email you with information that contains this whole job. When you start tomorrow, I'll tell you what your tasks are and what not." Mokuba announces out to me as I'm walking out of the building. I just nod and gave him one last smile.

'Tomorrow is going to be so different...'
