Three days ago

Uchiha Sasuke held his head high as he stepped into the Hyuga's mansion. It's been seven months since he last visited Hinata's family. The last time Sasuke came over was more like a request from his wife as she is the one who brought up the idea of having annual family gathering every once in a while.

It's not like his fault of having a bitter relationship with the Hyugas. The Hyuga family itself hadn't particularly approved of the Uchihas existence in their family. However, thanks to Hinata's constant effort of proving that she manage to stand on her own feet without the help from her family, they soon begin to open up with him especially the youngest Hyuga.

The first thing Sasuke noticed as he stepped into a certain room lead by the guard earlier was a women sitting at a desk overflowing with stack of papers. The room itself was filled with bookshelf that seems covered with a thick layer of dusk. On the ceiling, an ancient like chandelier hung proudly at the canter of the four confide walls that give out a slight brown hue.

The second thing he noticed is that certain women is none other than Hinata's younger sister.

She was slightly taller than the last time he saw her. Her midnight-black hair was tied in a high ponytail that snaked down to her shoulder. A pair of spectacles perched on her long, aristocrat nose which makes her features seems more matured than usual. Sasuke could't help but wonder. Let's just hope that her attitude matured as well.

"So, you made a wise choice of telling me about this." She said. "I've gone through the details you email me yesterday, and let me tell you, it's doesn't look so good."

She pulled out a blue file from the stack of paper from her desk. "Before this, did Hinata neechan get herself a new job?"

"Hn." That was his only response.

"Well genius, elaborate your 'Hn' please."

"Tsk, "

"She was offered a job as Marketing executive at Béatrice cosmetic corp. You know, it kind of hard for me to let her work for that company since I never heard of it before but in the end, she manage to convince me somehow." He said flatly.

"Typical." Hanabi shook her head a flipped the file. "And let me guess, she buying their product in bulk and won't stop talking about them."

Again, Hanabi was right but it's not like Sasuke would admit it out loud. Hinata did become obsessed with that cosmetic product but somehow things are started to go so wrong as she talked about it in every single moment.

Sasuke sighed for the first time in that day.

"But is seems so bizarre. She talks about that product in most of the situation! No matter how unrelated the circumstances seems to be. When a friend of mine talk about places they've travelled, Hinata will suggest them to bring a mini travel beauty pack from her company brand! A policeman stops her for speeding, and she will recommend Béatrice sunblock cream to beautify his face!"

Hanabi stared intensely at her brother in law, amused by the sudden outburst coming from him. As far as she concerned, Uchiha Sasuke she knew was a silent people who prefer more actions than words. The last time she heard him talk so much was the day he asks her father's blessing for Hinata's hand in marriage. That was roughly two years ago though.

"Maybe she just so passionate about her job." Hanabi suggested. "After all, that's how the marketing people do their work."

"It's more than that," Sasuke sighed. "Last week, we were at a funeral and your sister was supposedly giving her condolence and there she goes on saying her beauty product for fricking 30 minutes." He ranted.
