Chapter 13
Itachi carefully straightened his tie carefully and checked in the mirror one last time before heading down stairs towards the kitchen. Papers were spread out on the table as his parents did a last minute check on the documents. Itachi glided to the coffee machine and poured himself a cup of coffee before going to greet his parents. "Morning sweetie. Now do you mind helping us putting them back into the folder?" Mikoto asked, pushing the papers that have already been gone through towards the boy. Itachi silently set his coffee down on the table and gathered the papers into a neat pile, being careful not to crease it. "Where is Sasuke?" Itachi asked, glancing around the room after the papers were almost done.
"He's in the entertainment room with his friends." Mikoto said, making Itachi frown. They are gonna have a important guest over and Sasuke invited his friends? This is unacceptable. "As long as they don't cause any trouble." Itachi mumbled, mostly to himself but both his parents heard. After this important meeting, all of them have to go to a function held by the same company they're now meeting up with. These merged corporations is now the biggest and most powerful in the world, everyone wants to have an opportunity to cooperate with the company. But the thing is, no one knows who is behind all these. The merged corporations started climbing so quickly to the very top about 2 years ago. It surpassed everyone in the span of half a year. Rumours started flying everywhere, the couple that used to run the corporations had been killed many years ago and no one had taken up the position as boss but everyone knows the two merged corporations would never ever get someone random to run the prestigious corporations, it has to be the heir that has stepped up to claim the throne.
The heir's identity was kept an absolute secret, many meetings were held over conference calls and even then the voice had been slightly disguised. Today they were going to finally meet said heir as the heir has agreed to the face-to-face meeting. More rumours have been sparked as the merged corporations has organised a function for higher ups in the corporate world to attend. People are all hoping the identity of the heir would be reveal, many want it revealed for personal reasons. To get rid of him, to suck up to him, to force a marriage upon him, to get an alliance, and many more.
Itachi's eyes drifted to his father as he ended a call and started gathering the folders together. "They called and told us that they have arranged a transport for us to get to the company itself as their boss is currently tied up in the office." This is big too. The company never allow any meetings at said company location itself. It was always over the phone. The intercom blared, saying a limo has arrived. "That's faster then I thought." Fugaku commented.
"He probably arranged it way before calling and only called when reaching just so that we aren't too stressed out by the wait." Itachi deduced and his parents nodded, his mom heading to the room where Sasuke to tell him they were heading out and that he is required to attend the function later. He didn't want to come to this said meeting because it was too boring.
The Uchihas had to hide their gawking as they arrived at the location. The building was so tall and so beautiful! They were led inside respectfully by a lean woman dressed smartly and extremely professional, not once did she start fangirling over Itachi. They followed her into the lift and up 50-ish floors, about half way up the building. "The Uchihas are here." She called out to another lady sitting at a desk near a double door. "Ah. Welcome!" The lady said, standing up and walking around around the desk to greet them all. "Our boss is a little busy with some urgent work, he'll be done soon. Please follow me to the lounge." She said professional and turned sharply towards the direction. The lounge was near where her desk was and she brewed the mostly heavenly smelling coffee for them to enjoy. She went back to her desk and started chatting with the woman from before. They weren't exactly too quiet so the Uchihas didn't have to strain to hear what they were conversing about. "Has boss had breakfast?"
"I don't think so. I don't think he had dinner yesterday either..." The lady trailed off as they looked at each other then at the double door before looking back at each other.
"F... Reaking hell. What should I get for him? Ramen?"
"Who the hell eats ramen for breakfast?!"
"Boss did! He practically inhaled the Ichiraku ramen."
"He didn't eat for a whole day before that." The desk lady retorted. The double doors opened and a man slipped out, looking like he is about to start hyperventilating and get a panic attack or something as his face was marred with a worried frown. "Help. Food. Coffee. Something." The two woman jumped up into a tense position immediately.
"Did he faint? Is he okay? Do I need to call an ambulance?" The intercom on the table crackled.
"You know what? I would like a huge cup of hot chocolate-coffee." Came through. Itachi raised his eyebrows slightly, Naruto also likes to drink that - coffee with chocolate mixed together. "The Uchihas are here, boss." The lady informed.
"Send them in then. We shall not keep them waiting." The slightly fuzzy voice came through the intercom. The guy gestured for them to follow him as he opened the double doors. Who they saw inside made them stop in shock.
"Naruto?"
