MIMI

Pa.s.sing a tan folder to the man across from her, Mimi leisurely sits back in her chair antic.i.p.ating his response. Inside the tan folder that now rested in the hands of the sitting cross-legged businessman Tobias Itou, were trading strategies.

They included new improved technology designed by Mimi herself over the past couple of years - of course, no one else knew that.

Not able to hide his surprise through his indifferent eyes, he quietly read through the folder"s contents.

With a finger rested over his mouth, he swept his dark eyes towards the young girl in front of him then back at the folder.

Sighing, the man unfolds his legs and places the file down on the table.

"How much will you need?" Tobias asked.

"A simple amount of possibly...ten million," Mimi grinned. "I doubt that amount will dent your paycheck."

Seeing that Mimi"s words became bolder by the minute, a part of Tobias was amused nonetheless intrigued to find out more about her.

For the first time, his curiosity was seeping out from his hard cold sh.e.l.l.

However, the man continued to show an indifferent unreadable expression.

Unaware of the thoughts going through the man"s head Mimi patiently waited for his response.

In all honesty, Mimi wasn"t one-hundred-percent confident Tobias would accept her proposal.

One, being she was basically a business owner. A compet.i.tion. Although she knew the man didn"t care for mere compet.i.tion, that didn"t differ him from thinking about other things. Such as borrowing a large sum of money to make her plan work.

Nothing suspicious about asking an elite businessman for ten-million dollars.

Second, would be the most obvious known factor.

Her age.

Despite being successful in making her own company, which Tobias knew and viewed for himself, her capabilities to work under others wasn"t certain.

She hadn"t clung too much hope in this idea, therefore she expected him to disagree.

In the end...

"Alright," Tobias said.

....

He actually agreed?!

Blinking rapidly at the man before her, Mimi wondered if perhaps on his way over he underwent some sort of brain injury.

But upon observing his appearance, she found he was void of any injuries, scars, or blemishes!

The truly was one of G.o.d"s most extraordinary works.

"Don"t you obtain a full supply of workers though?" Mimi asked with raised eyebrows.

"I can always fire someone," Tobias said emotionlessly.

Mimi blinked at the man with shock.

He definitely underwent some sort of injury...or amnesia. Maybe both?

Chuckling softly at the girl"s expression, Tobias leaned into his chair.

"Don"t worry, I already planned on releasing a few unbeneficial employees," He a.s.sured.

To be honest, that"s not what Mimi was shocked about. If anything she didn"t give a d.a.m.n if he were to fire someone for her.

Sure that was shameless of her to say, however, growing up disowned she was forced to fight for herself. If she had to go through a few measly employees losing their jobs so be it.

"Happy to start working for you Boss!" Mimi extended her hand out towards the young man.

"En," Tobias said while shaking her hand, his dark eyes trained in her.

From that day forward both soon weaved a change in both of their futures.

....

After talking a bit, Mimi"s mood brightened. Which of course she vividly showed on her face.

"Would you like to order something to eat or drink? The food here is fresh, and the beverages are one of my favorites."

"What do you recommend?" Tobias asks unaware of the soft tone in his voice, as he was amused by the change of conversation.

"Hmm," Mimi taps her chin in deep thought.

Observing how the girl responded to his question so seriously, a brief smile spread across his lips.

"I would have to say the crepes!" Mimi beamed. "They"re just the right crispiness and softness!"

Mimi"s mouth begins to water at the thought of a chocolate crepe with powdered sugar and whipped cream.

From the beginning, Tobias examined the girl"s change in expressions from a business face, to conflict, and to downright daydreaming.

The girl before him was quite an interesting one. While Mimi was lost in thought she didn"t notice the mans cold eyes soften slightly.

Finally, done with her daydreaming Mimi stares at the sightly man before her.

"Ah...right. You don"t have to order anything. They"re solely recommendations," Mimi coughed lightly.

She had done research on the man beforehand. Who knew, not merely was the man viewed in various columns on businessmen, but also women"s magazines.

He was apparently listed as the top hottest men in the nation, including a list of his likes and dislikes.

One dislike being sweets.

What surprised Mimi the most after reading the article was how the journalist even found out his likes and dislikes.

Years of stalking?

Mimi knew from her previous encounter with the man- she taunted him in eating the meat buns she bought, he was a specific eater.

However, even if she wanted to forcefully feed the man a sweet, she doubts he would consume it.

Tobias: "I"ll order it."

Mimi: "..."

Yup. She was persuaded. Amnesia.
