Chapter 4: Work starts
"Yes, so, for today, I have a meeting with several initiatives that would like our support. Your first task is to jot down all the points for me to refer to later on."
"Yes, sir."
The meeting was new to Y/N but she made sure to pay attention to the presenters. It didn't seem like Daisuke was impressed with any of them since they are in fact asking him to provide money for their projects. He may seem to be the type to rely on his wealth but when money suckers think that he would throw his money to them easily, they were entirely wrong—his random spendings is only on himself and his own interests. The meeting ended and Y/N followed Daisuke out of the room before the presenters left. He sighed and walked back to his room, stopping and turning to a receptionist.
"Could you give Ms. L/N a tour?"
The female receptionist squeaked in surprise and nodded frantically. She was given a tour, showing off the different sections of the building. Y/N bumped into Haru, a familiar face.
"Oh, hello! Ms. L/N!"
"Mr. Katō! Nice to see you again."
"Likewise. I was just wondering... would you like to grab lunch with me today?"
"Sure!"
Haru asked her out for lunch on a whim since he was actually attracted to the female. He wanted to get to know her as a person. She met Daisuke one last time before lunch. He tapped his fountain pen on the desk and looked at the female.
"Y/N, you are dismissed for lunch. Would you like to have lunch in my private restaurant?"
"A-Ah, there's no need, Mr. Kanbe, I'm meeting Mr. Katō for lunch."
"Head of security? You've become friends with him very fast."
Daisuke glared at her who seemed quite oblivious to the entire situation.
"Yes. I met him before starting work here. Well then, excuse me."
She turned around and exited his room. He pulled out his phone, dialing one of his butlers.
"Keep an eye on her."
The lunch was quite an enjoyable one, Y/N and Haru getting closer with each conversation they had. When Y/N excuses herself to rush back to work, Haru noticed someone following them. He pulled out a knife and swiftly charged at the person, the blade barely scraping the skin of their neck.
"Who are you and what do you want."
"I-I was just m-making sure Ms. L/N is s-safe."
"If I see you stalking us one more time, I won't be afraid to slit your throat easily."
Haru gives an innocent smile to the butler before making his way back to work. The butler quickly calls Daisuke, informing him about what had just happened. Daisuke clenched his teeth, unable to find evidence of any harm to shoo the male away. He has to keep an eye out for this 'Beta' employee. Y/N tilted her head as she noticed Daisuke's eyebrows furrow in silence.
"Show me your notes."
His voice startled her but it made her heart beat faster from how husky it sounded. She took out her cute notebook, which was, in fact, pink and floral, and passes it to him.
Huh. Cute notebook.
His eyes scanned her neat handwriting, copying down the important points that he needed.
"I'm satisfied with your work so far. I am looking forward to the same standard of performance or even better."
"Thank you, Mr. Kanbe."
Y/N bowed and he pointed to a smaller desk,
"Your table is there. Since you're my secretary, I need you to be in this room with me while I work."
"Yes, sir."
She took the notebook and turned around, the obvious flowers forming around her was noticed by Daisuke.
Y/N! Don't be too happy!
The next day, he had another meeting with another group of presenters. For some reason, she understood why he wasn't impressed with any. Y/N excused herself to the toilet as Daisuke made his way to grab lunch in his private restaurant. She came back and grabbed her wallet, rushing down to buy something light since Daisuke wanted to meet as soon as possible to discuss the meeting.
Mr. Kanbe is not as bad as I thought! He may be an Alpha but he doesn't act like those men in my neighborhood... Is this what they call a 'wealth young Alpha'? The vibe is totally different.
After coming back, Daisuke was already sitting on his seat. She bowed to him and he pointed to the chair in front of his desk.
"Grab your notebook and sit right here."
Y/N dug into her bag, noticing that her notebook was missing. Sweat accumulated at her temple.
"What's the problem, Ms. L/N?"
"I-It seems like I might have m-misplaced my notebook."
"It's only your second day and you're messing up?"
"I-It's alright! I have it all memorized!"
She grabbed a piece of paper and pen, sitting down in front of Daisuke as she scribbled down the information from the meeting. He rested his chin on his palm, gazing at her, which she did not notice.
I clearly left it in my bag...
"Hmm... Yes, these are accurate if I can recall. I'm not too happy about today's performance but I have to say that your memory saved your job."
"Y-Yes, sir!"
"Alright, I've looked through all these proposals. Tell me your honest opinion and if any of them caught your eyes."
"From my perspective, all of the proposals were the same. The ones from yesterday and today were not impressive. First, these ones did not take into consideration the negative effects of their proposal, which can greatly harm the Kanbe foundation's name. The others... well, all of them asked for large amounts of funding with no proper calculations and reasoning."
"Fantastic. You're the right one for this position. It is exactly what I was thinking. Please write an email to all of them, telling them that their proposals have been rejected."
"Yes, sir."
As she sat back down to her seat, a soft knock sounded from the large wooden doors.
"Come in."
It was Haru and he looked kind of sheepish. The moment Haru and Daisuke made eye contact, there was some kind of tension.
"I apologize for the interruption. However, I found this and I believe that Y/N is the owner of it."
He showed a pink notebook, making her eyes go wide. She made her way to Haru, taking the notebook and thanking him with a bright smile. A slight blush powdered his cheeks but Daisuke dismissed him.
"You may leave if that's all you wanted to do."
"Yes, sir."
He glanced once at Y/N but she was, unfortunately, looking at her notebook to even spare him a glance. Haru walked out, passing by an angry red-head. His track stopped, hands in the pocket as he looks straight into her eyes.
"I don't care what grudge you have against Ms. L/N but going as far as to sabotage her work is not appreciated."
"Pff. I do what I want to get what I want. Screw off."
The side of his lips twitched, glaring at her as he made his way back down to the first floor.
