66A/N: I still don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. I know that the drinking age in Japan is 20 but I'm altering it to 18 here.
Chapter 2
I sat back at my desk feeling very irritated; I mean why do these people find it so hard to just do their jobs.
Knock Knock
"Come In" I growled, not happy about the interruption.
"Um...Mr. Kaiba sir, I have the files for the last two applicants for the assistant position." Greg my employee recruiter stuttered.
"Fine hand them to me and set up the interviews with me." After handing me the files he quickly bowed and left my office. Looking at the clock I groaned it was only five o'clock. I decided to take a look at the two files.
The first was of a woman in her early twenties, blonde hair, and blue eyes and from the picture she provided she was fairly attractive, but I wasn't interested in women who look like bimbos. Her credentials weren't bad. She had experience as a secretary. No comments were left by Greg as he was probably too busy starting at her.
The second applicant was eighteen. So she's my age. Minimal job experience all of it working with computers and technology. 'No Picture provided' she probably looks like every other female computer nerd.
Well, I know who will get the position but I still need to hold the interviews. The intercom beeped and I knew it was my soon to be ex-secretary. "Yes"
"Mr. Kaiba, I got a hold of both of the applicants. We have set the interviews for tomorrow at three and five. Ms Abigail will be here tomorrow at three and Ms Yuki will be here at five."
"Fine"
Sighing I put down the files silently wondering why interviews were necessary. Abigail has the job. I mean my assistant will represent me to clients and so my assistant must look…right. Besides that she has the job experience. Even if this Yuki is good with computers, she probably isn't even close to the ability of even my lowest programmers. I'll give her a test to see if she really is lying.
A few hours and two fired employees later I decided to go home. I was tired; I haven't been getting much sleep lately. Stupid nightmares, Mokuba's probably already noticed my tiredness, oh well, I won't have any dreams tonight I'll make sure of that.
I was thinking about all of the work I need to get done tomorrow when the limo pulled into the driveway.
I don't have time to do these interviews, but I don't trust anyone else to do them. I'll just need to get some work done here at home tonight.
When I walked into the house I noticed how quiet everything was. I made my way to our large kitchen were, sure enough, Mokuba was eating his dinner, alone.
"Seto! Your home early." He sounded surprised, well I guess he should be I normally don't get home until at least 10 and it was only 7:30.
"Yes, I decided to get some stuff done here."
Mokuba looked disappointed briefly before his face lit up and he asked me to join him for dinner. I nodded; I hadn't realized how hungry I was until I started to eat. Well I hadn't eaten all day so I shouldn't be surprised.
Soon afterwards I sent Mokuba to bed as I made my way to my home office. As I entered I took off my coat and threw it on the sofa and I made my way to a locked cabinet.
Taking out the key I unlocked it and took at a large bottle and a fairly large glass. I sat down at my desk and poured myself a glass of whiskey. I quickly drank down the amber liquid and poured myself another glass.
Then I started to get to work.
An extremely loud and annoying beeping sound reached my ears. Groaning I rolled over in my bed and quickly turned off my alarm. Sitting up quickly was a big mistake. The room began to spin and I noticed how bright everything was.
'Great a hangover; just what I needed.'
After dressing I went down stairs to get some coffee. As I was leaving I heard Mokuba running down the steps.
"SETO!"
I cringed at his volume it was not helping my head. I turned around just to be nearly knocked over in a tight hug.
"Good morning Mokuba, isn't it a little early for you to be up."
"Yea, well I wanted to talk to you before you left. You see, I was wondering if it would be ok if I went to Yugi's house after school. He invited me so we could hang out. Please Seto, Please. It'll only be for a little while and I'll come right to Kaiba Corp when I'm done. Please!"
He spoke so fast I hardly understood everything. "Mokuba, you know I don't like you being around them."
His face fell and I sighed. "But I guess this once you can but you must be at Kaiba Corp by 6pm sharp."
He suddenly gripped me in a bone crushing hug. "Thank you Thank you Thank you. You're the best big brother EVER!"
Damn he's loud.
"You're welcome but I have to go now."
Damn! Why did I agree to that? I hate Yugi and his nerd heard. I'll never understand why Mokuba likes them.
Getting out I looked at my building and smirked. It's the number 1 gaming company in the world. And I controlled it; I practically built this company from the wreck my stepfather left it as.
I entered the building and all eyes turned to me. The secretary looked startled and immediately hung up the phone, probably on a personal call. Choruses of "Good Morning Mr. Kaiba" and "How are you Mr. Kaiba" greeted my ears painfully as my head throbbed from my killer hangover. I swiftly crossed the lobby to the elevator, as always no one entered with me.
I pressed the button to the top floor, my floor. When the doors opened I looked around and saw my current secretary Samantha getting up. My eyes immediately went to her ever growing stomach…six months pregnant. She walked as fast as she could to meet me. She went over my schedule for today and all of the things she had done yesterday.
It was a shame I was losing her she's the best secretary I've ever had. She however chose to leave and be a "Stay at home mother"
Three o'clock came too soon; I did not want to do this. My headache had greatly diminished but it did not want to go away. At 3:15 a beep was heard on the intercom "Mr. Kaiba Ms Abigail is here" "Fine send her in."A minute later my door opened to reveal Samantha and behind her Ms. Abigail.
She was about 5'10 with long blonde hair and dull blue eyes and a small figure with the exception of her breasts, which were very large and to be honest they looked fake.
"Hello Mr. Kaiba" came a very high pitched voice.
One hour later she walked out of my office looking very full of herself. I was starting to reconsider my hasty decision to hire her based off of looks alone. She loves herself almost as much as Gardner loves her stupid friendship speeches. Not to mention, she kept flirting with me, the whole time and not subtly either. Plus her experience was severely lacking. I hope the next interview goes better, because after that one I need a drink.
Five o'clock, great. At exactly five my intercom beeped and I was told that the second applicant had arrived. Well at least she's on time. The door opened and again I saw Samantha. Then in walked a woman, she was short probably no taller than 5'5, she was thin but not extremely so.
She had dark red hair that reached just below her slender shoulders. Her eyes were emerald green, she was attractive, not that I would admit that to anyone. As Samantha left she walked up to me and brought up her hand.
"Hello Mr. Kaiba, my name is Yuki Bakura it's very nice to meet you."
I ignored her hand taking note that the top of her head came up to my chest. She then lowered her hand and sat down in the chair provided. It was then that I realized her last name sounded familiar.
Didn't Yugi have a friend named Bakura; he was in the Battle City Tournament.
"Bakura huh?"
"Yes, you may know my little brother Ryou Bakura he's a duelist."
She spoke of him very proudly. I would hardly call him a duelist but this interview isn't about him
Half an hour later I decided it was time to see if she was lying, it was time for my test.
"Alright Ms Bakura it is now time to test your computer skills".
I gave her a program that I wanted her to fix. It wasn't difficult; most of my programmers could do it. Though I doubted that she could do it.
I sat back in my chair and waited. Ten minutes later I heard a soft voice say "finished."
"What? You can't be done that fast!" She narrowed her eyes at me.
"Well I am, you can check it if you want."
I decided to do just that. To my surprise, she had done it perfectly.
I called Samantha into my office, she seemed confused.
"Samantha, show Ms Bakura the ropes. She'll be starting on Monday."
Both Samantha and Yuki seemed happy.
"Thank you very much Mr. Kaiba" She said happily her eyes shining brightly.
She walked out of my office and Samantha looked at me "Good Choice I didn't like that other one, I was worried she was going to rape you."
She smiled and walked out. I went back to my work glad to have that problem solved, and happy about the choice I made.
