Yami

The Lawliett's

   When I went out of my room to get my breakfast Yami was already ready to go to college, before I ask her why she is so early she told me she is going to the library. Something was bothering her. I asked her if she wants me to come with her. She told me to come only if I want. And then my PA Shika reminded me that I have a meeting to attend, it was the usual boring meetings where I'll have to talk about future plans of our company with reference to the past month's reviews with the high officials and important share holders. I thought it's still better than going to college without Yami. So I told her that I won't come. She gobbled up her breakfast in a hurry and left with an empty bag.
  I took my time to eat my sandwiches, it's simple but I love it. The meeting is at 10 o'clock. I went back in to get fresh and I got dressed and waited for Shika, she went out for some work. When she came back she picked me up and we set out to Takahashi building where this month's meeting was held, it is comparatevely an old skyscraper, built by my parents. It was older than me. Usually meetings are held at this building or the Akari, the current HQ of our company, it was built by my sister, when she completely revived our business and built a new empire from almost getting bankrupt thanks to my paranoid dad. Clearly my sister was way better at business than I am. But still I'm better than my dad. Now this company is one of the biggest around these parts of Japan. I don't have much intrest in growing it. But I remember my sister saying that she wanted this to be the biggest company in Japan so I'm working towards her goal.
   Shika passed me some files, I was going through them and adjusting my script according to the presentation she had given me earlier. There is a considerable increase in our profit, probably because of our new products using Marvel merchandise.

   The meeting went smooth, no game changing desicions were taken. Most of the talk was about better ways to advertise our upcoming products. I was pretty bored for most of the meeting. Those old geezers have no other job except for coming to these meetings and getting free money. But I need them to buy our shares and so I can't afford to kick them out of the meeting for sleeping while the youngsters come up with new ideas. Ahhh I hate them.
  "Shika do we have any more plans?"
  "Ofcourse did you already forget about your meeting with the Lauretts? How can you be so careless these days?"
  "Sorry, you don't have to scold me for that."
  "I really don't like that girl or her father. They were always. What should I say... Ominous in certain ways. So just be careful"
   "of course I will. Don't worry nobody's gonna kill me or anything "
  " That's not what I meant and stop joking around, we're almost there."
  " Yes ma'am! "
  As we approached the  building with giant double 'L's" Shika slowed the car to stop infront. The security came and opened the door for me. I stepped out of the car to be welcomed with a warm hug which made me jump back since that was what I expected least.
  "Oh sorry. Did I startle you?"
I looked up to see a young lady dressed with stunning red clothes, blonde hair and grey eyes which reminded me of Layla.
   "No its ok I'm fine." I replied and continued to examine the new head of the biggest business partner I have. She really does resemble Layla quite a lot infact. She showed me the way into her office.
   "So I haven't yet officially taken my post so let's not make this very formal. Afterall you are the classmate of my sister." she grinned, very disturbingly. I hated what I saw.
  "Layla?"
  "Yes. You didn't know? I thought the all knowing little prodigy knew that she was from the Lawliet family. Layla Lawliet."
  She was pissing me off, but I couldn't throw the cup of hot coffee on her face. I really wished I could.
   "So you guys best friends? Layla and you? Or is it something more than just friends?"
   "I'm pretty sure that's not the topic for our meeting today."
   "Oh why are you being so serious and all. Are you like this in school too? Oops I mean college."

   "You said you haven't taken the position yet. So who's in charge? I heard your dad's already on his retirement vacation."

   "You ignored me! You are just as inhumane as my dad told me. But I like it. To run such an organisation at this age you have to be a bit savage don't you think? About my dad, he is totally irresponsible, isn't he? But don't worry about it. I'm in charge of everything but it's not legally announced yet. Our business will go smoothly."

  " Happy to hear that." I said. All I wanted was to get away from her. She was so annoying. I wondered how she can be so different from Layla, she's just the opposite of Layla.

   "Would you like a cup of coffee?"

   "No thanks, I'm lactose intolerant." I wasn't. I just can't tolerate her. Her father, Lancer Lawliet, was a very cunning man but he respected my boundaries and wasn't just simply annoying. I hated him but right now. I wish i could have this meeting with him. How the tables have turned.
   I looked at her face. She was beautiful. Especially her grey eyes. The Lawliet eyes that every member of the Lawliet family shares. I've heard of stupid rumours that these eyes are the reason for their cunning nature and success. It reminded me of my favourite manga where people had superpowrful eyes. Infact the major products of the Lawliett's are the anime and other merchandises. Our shops and online shops are where they sell their products, which ranges from clothes to cosmetics, utensils to home decor. So easily they are our biggest business partners.
   "About the latest Marvel Merchandise, it was lovely. The public took it like a wildfire. They all had great review."

   "Yeah I went through the numbers. It was an even bigger profit than I thought. Never would have imagined someone so serious like you would come up with a casual idea like this."

   "I'm counting it as a compliment."

   "Ofcourse it was a compliment. I would never dare to mock you." Which was surely an example of mocking me.

   After about one dreadful hour our 'meeting' was over. I couldn't be any happier. As I entered the car Shika said, "Your face tells me that you had a very pleasant meeting."
   "Please Shika. I can't take any more mocking. We are going back home right?"
   "Ofcourse we have nothing else to do."
  "Ah thank god." I sighed.

   "Sir, can I ask you something personal? Its about the girl, Yami."...
