Summary: Sakurai Sho and Aiba Masaki are both the heads of the two different promoting departments at Matsumoto Corporation. Their point of view as well as their desire to be the most successful has turned them into enemies. When a big opportunity for co-operation with the USA appears though, they're obliged to go together on a business trip and represent their company. Will that be the cause for more problems or they will discover something more interesting?
Disclaimer: I don't own Sakuraiba, they own me.
A.N. For a looong time I wanted to write a Sakuraiba multichaptered fic that will not be dramatic or angsty as a big thank you to all my beloved readers! <3 Some time ago I saw a post on Tumblr about Sakuraiba fics andkint4ma_tan's idea (niji-tan on Tumblr) just got stuck in my head! There will be a total of 4 parts! I hope you'll enjoy it! ^_^
“Ninomiya-kun, have you sent the emails I asked you?”
Nino gulped. Shit… I forgot these… “Yes Aiba-san… I only have one more to send” Nino replied to his answering machine praying his boss wouldn’t come and check it for himself.
“You know that I don’t want you to work as a robot Ninomiya-kun but I won’t allow you spending all your working hours with the personal secretary of his…”
Nino sighed. “Aiba-san, I swear that I don’t pass my time like that…”
“I hope so… Anyway… send the last e-mail because it is urgent and then bring me the lists for last month. Matsumoto-san has rescheduled the meeting for today at 4 pm”
“Very well, Aiba-san” Nino pressed the mute button on his skype connection.
“Sorry chubby bear… work calls for me…” he said looking at his laptop screen with the most seductive gaze he had just to see no one. “Satoshi?” Frowning he looked at the messages:
Sorry to leave like that baby but Sakurai barked again… You know it’s the meeting in a few hours… :/
I’ll make it up to you! ;)
Nino angrily started typing the emails Masaki asked him to send. “Damn these two teenagers and this stupid hatred… you can’t even flirt freely…”
***
“Ready to accept your loss today?”
“Shouldn’t those be my words, Sakurai-san? I can’t wait to see your whining face…”
The other on the line burst into laughs. “I was the one who had more clients this month dear…”
Masaki laughed not willing to declare defeat. “I prefer my methods… I wouldn’t want to be known as the one who makes clients sign contracts only because they are afraid of him… It isn’t always about numbers you know Sakurai-san…”
“We’ll see about that Aiba-san…”
“Of course sweetie…”
The other had hung up. Masaki clicked his tongue pissed off. Asshole…
***
The CEO, Matsumoto Jun, despite the young of his age, only thirty years old, had managed to impose himself to everyone. Only in two years that he had succeeded his father, he had created a name of success for himself. No one would go against him; the female employees because of his looks and the male employees because of his character. He was a perfectionist.
He had chosen his staff one by one after lots of thinking of different parameters, studies, intelligence, social abilities, experience, even looks in the cases needed. He wasn’t searching for models of course but people who would be able to promote successfully his company’s propositions. He wanted everything to work without flaws; that’s why it was well known in Matsumoto Corporation that the hierarchy played an important role.
He had organized a system of special rewards for the best department in order to motivate the ones working, work even harder. There were people who considered him evil and others who thought of him as a prodigy. He called himself businessman; planning everything in a way that you get the highest profit you can get.
Among the departments, there were two that always were ‘fighting’ for the first place: Sakurai Sho’s and Aiba Masaki’s. Their hatred was legendary among the employees of Matsumoto Corporation as well as their looks.
Sakurai Sho was the head of the promoting department orientated in northern Japan. Thirty-one years old, graduate of the Keio University, speaking fluently three languages was only aiming to the top. Coming from a family that had written history in international corporations, his position was not a surprise but he had very quickly made known that he was not joking around. He was the type of guy who would be strict with the ones working underneath him and wanted everything to be there in time.
Aiba Masaki, on the other hand, was the head of the promoting department orientated in southern Japan. Thirty years old, graduate with honors of the famous University of Tokyo, speaking only one foreign language - english - but equally aiming to the top. His parents run a Chinese restaurant in Chiba and he’s proud that he’s where he is not because he had his mama and papa helping him but by himself. He wanted everyone underneath him to work according to the daily schedule, but in the same time he believed that someone didn’t need to behave like a bitch in order to make sure everything’s done properly.
He treated everyone with respect and his smile was always portrayed on his face; always except when he was confronting with Sakurai Sho. He couldn’t describe it differently but with only one word: he just hated that guy, since the very first time they had met for the interview.
***
Masaki looked at the fifty-floor building gulping. “That’s it Masaki! You can do it!”
He reached the eleventh floor. He got out of the elevator taking a deep breath. It was the biggest opportunity of his life. He found the waiting room for the interviews.
“Excuse me… this is the room for the interviews for Matsumoto Corporation?” he asked. He had seen the label but he was so stressed that he wanted to be sure.
A young man, wearing a deep gray suit, raised his gaze. “You can’t even read? And you came here? It’s written outside on the door… with BIG letters!” there was a small mocking laugh that made Masaki look down embarrassed.
‘What is his problem?!’ was all that Masaki could think.
***
“Gentlemen, I would like to present you the goals for the next two months…” Matsumoto Jun had started his presentation for the next plans and strategies of the company. Masaki was sitting in the round table, holding his pen tightly and whishing his boss would finish as fast as possible.
“Nervous?” a voice whispered in his ear.
He clicked his tongue but said nothing. It was the usual annoying behavior of the usual asshole, Sakurai Sho.
“You know Aiba-san… it’s not your fault if you can’t surpass me… It’s because of my abilities…”
Masaki turned his head raising his eyebrow. “With all due respect Sakurai-san, I want to listen to Matsumoto-san's presentation…”
“Oh yes! I’m sorry… I always tend to forget that you are really slow…” Sho said mockingly while trying to muffle a small laugh.
“Oh don’t worry… I’m used to your stupid diversions… I always tend to forget what kind of threat you consider me… ” Masaki whispered in the other’s ear before turning his whole focus to Matsumoto who was now showing the latest months’ statistics.
“I will announce the winner of the previous month. Everyone did a great job. First department in number of contracts is Sakurai Sho’s”
Sho immediately stood up and bowed. As he sat back on his seat, he turned to Masaki who was looking on his papers in front of him. “You were saying, Aiba-san?”
Masaki looked at him with narrowing eyes without uttering a single word.
“But the department which managed to get the highest score in terms of good co-operation with our clients is Aiba Masaki’s. Congratulations!”
Masaki wiggled his eyebrows smirking. “You were saying Sakurai-san?” his tone was the same as Sho’s previously; provocative. He stood up and bowed. “Thank you Matsumoto-san”
Matsumoto gave them the new regulation as far as advertising is concerned and dismissed the meeting.
Sho and Masaki were ready to leave the room when they heard their names being called.
“Sakurai-san, Aiba-san, please come into my office in ten minutes please. There’s something I would like to discuss with you”
They looked at each other bewildered.
“If you cause any trouble for me you I swear you’ll pay for it!” Sho said in a threatening tone as he poured some water in a plastic glass.
“I believe I should be the one saying that Sakurai-san…”
***
“Sakurai-san, Aiba-san, please take a look at this” Sho and Masaki looked at the papers they were given. “This is a matter regarding the biggest contract we have ever signed”
The two men looked at their boss waiting for further explanations.
“Wellington & Barnes SA, a colossus in alternative energy sources, is interested in investing in Japan. The CEO personally contacted me. He wants us to be the promoters since we know the Japanese market the best. You know how Americans do their business, fast and accurately. There’s a first meeting decided for the next week in California but unfortunately I won’t be able to assist in person”
Sho and Masaki were listening to their boss with bulged eyes. “Sakurai-san, your arguments and strategies are the best; always focused on the goal. Aiba-san, on the other hand, you are someone who makes the client feel at ease; you manage with your personality to win him over. That’s why I thought of the best solution. It’s an opportunity that we can’t miss and since I won’t be able to travel I thought of you…”
“You mean both of us?” Sho asked before he could stop himself.
Matsumoto smiled. “Yes. Sakurai-san and Aiba-san, you will go to the USA and represent our company. I profoundly believe that the combination of you two will only be beneficial. If there aren’t any further questions. You may leave now. I will send you the necessary information by e-mail”
“Matsumoto-san?” Masaki asked reluctantly.
“Yes, Aiba-san?”
“We will be gone for how many days?”
“Four or five days. But don’t worry. All the expenses will be charged on the company. Any more questions?”
“No, Sir” Sho replied fast, wanting to get out of the office as soon as possible.
The two men kept walking down the corridor without saying a single word to each other. They entered the elevator to bring them to their floors.
“You do realize that it’s me who will do the work… so you better shut your mouth up and be a good boy…” Sho said without turning his head to the other, his hands crossing in front of his chest.
Masaki moved closer to the other, forcing him to look straight in his eyes. “No sweetie… it’s you the one that must realize that you should pay attention to my social skills and be a good boy… we sure don’t want those Americans to have the wrong impression! You know you always tend to do that…”
“What the hell do you mean by that?” Sho growled.
Masaki smirked and leaned closer to Sho. “I mean that there are some habits of yours that may make the others get the wrong impression. For example, the way that you keep staring at my butt… people might say that you yearn for it…” he could sense that the other had stopped breathing. “…you should be careful, ok?” he whispered straight in his ear.
Satisfied, he went back to his position a bit further from the other when he heard the doors open. “Ah! That’s my stop! I hope we will work well together, Sakurai-san!”
Masaki winked at him and left. Sho saw the other’s slim figure walking away until the doors of the elevator closed firmly and started moving to the next floor where it was his stop. His fists were clenching into fists at both his sides. “Aiba Masaki… I swear… you’ll see who the boss is!”
