Right In Front of Me (Itachi x Reader MODERN)

Chapter 8

Shisui frowned. "I wasn't calling about Leena, I was calling to tell you that I say yes to your proposal." 

The younger cousin stared at his older cousin then sighed, opening the door to his office. Thinking he had put two and two together. 

Itachi walked up to his desk, removing his blazer and loosening his tie, while Shisui closed the door behind him and sat down on the black leather couch, to the right of Itachi's personal assistant. 

"Konan, looking beautiful as always". Shisui beamed. 

"Shisui." She said without taking her eyes off her laptop. 

"Konan." Itachi's voice caught her attention and she looked up to see him walking toward both of them, taking a seat on the leather arm chair to her left.  

"I'm not entertaining him." She answered. 

Itachi hummed. "That's not it. Shisui has agreed to help us out."

Konan turned wide-eyed to Shisui. "Really?! That's great!" 

Itachi continued. "And since he has agreed to help us, we can freely talk about this matter around him. Which brings me to my question." His tone went serious, causing both Konan and Shisui to listen attentively. 

"Did you inform Leena of my whereabouts when she came into the office?" 

Konan raised an eyebrow. "With all due respect Itachi, what are you talking about?" 

"Leena said she didn't find me in my office so she showed up to my meeting with (y/n). Rather rudely, I might add." 

Shisui looked back and forth between his cousin and his friend. 

"I've been in your office since you left and I haven't seen or heard from her. I didn't even know she came here-maybe she noticed your car was gone?" Konan closed her laptop. 

The man beside her nodded his head. "It's possible. A little controlling and weird but possible." 

"Itachi...she didn't ruin your meeting did she?" his assistant asked with concern. 

Itachi rubbed his eyes and let out a frustrated sigh. "I don't know. Maybe. I didn't even get to tell (y/n) anything besides that I needed her medical advice." 

"You were gone for a whole two hours and didn't talk to her about it?" Konan said. 

"We were catching up, I haven't seen her since I graduated and to just come out and ask her for a task this big would just seem wrong, even if we used to be close. Leena barged in right as I was going to tell her about it." 

The orange-eyed female gave him a sympathetic smile. "Are you going to try and meet again?" 

"Yes. But I need to apologize. I know (y/n) and I know Leena abruptly showing up made her feel some type of way." 

Konan nodded her head and took out her phone. "I'll set something up with her assistant TenTen right away-" 

"That won't be necessary. But thank you. I can personally reach her now." He said with a smile. 

Shisui smirked and shook his head. "Leena's not going to like that." After a moment, Shisui's smirk fell off his face, as realization hit. "Wait, wait. (y/n)? (y/n) Hyuga?!" he whispered frantically. 

"Is there a problem?" Itachi raised his eyebrow at his cousin. 

"Yo if Madara finds out we are DEAD." Shisui said adjusting his own tie as he suddenly felt hot and constricted.
