MIMI

"Ah, can someone help me with this code for the project files?" A colleague raised their head to look around.

"I"ll help you out," A male worker nearby nods while walking in their direction.

Looking down at the computer, the male worker"s forehead wrinkled upon seeing the set of letters and numbers on the others screen.

Awkwardly scratching his head, he leans in for a better look.

"Maybe it"s a mistake. It doesn"t seem like a code, just looks like a bunch of random numbers and letters."

"That"s what I thought but...for it to be a mistake also seems unlikely."

Nodding his head in agreement, the two continue to a.n.a.lyze the code seriously with furrowed expressions.

While the two stared at the screen, they hadn"t noticed the short figure walking past them, their dark clothes standing out immensely compared to the background surrounding them.

As she pa.s.sed by the two male workers, she halted in her steps to glance in the screen"s direction. Upon seeing the jumbled up letters and numbers, the girl"s violet eyes flickered brightly.

Sweeping her eyes away from the screen, the girl continues to make her way across the room, however, not forgetting to say: "It"s a backward sentence. For each letter that"s in the sentence, there"s a number in front of it."

After her words sounded in the male worker"s ears, her figure stepped out of their sight and toward the copier.

Both men catching her words looked up from the screen to look at the back of the young girl dressed in black clothing.

Widening their eyes, both glanced at one another, a complex glint reflecting in their eyes.

"Was that..."

"Yeah, I think it was."

"Should we try what she said?"

Just as the other man was about to laugh at the others question, he choked on his words after recalling the incident that took place a few nights ago. Based on Andras and Eli"s words, the girl was quite a genius.

Without responding, the man turns his chair around to look at his computer screen, gradually taking Mimi"s words into consideration and formatting the letters and numbers out.

After a few minutes, he quickly completed and found the recent jumbled letters, and numbers were now set out into a readable and clear sentence.

"So...she was right." The man muttered.

Looking at the others progress, the man standing behind him widens his eyes.

A faint laugh escapes his mouth. "Indeed, she was. Looks like the words about her were true. Even we were able to find that out."

Nodding his head in agreement, both men turn in the direction of where the Gothic girl"s figure disappeared.

For the next few days, many of the tech department"s employees experienced the genius power of Mimi.

From fixing a malfunctioned computer to helping program a new system, the young girl had astonished many of the workers in less than two days.

Before long, their former negative image of her changed.

Mimi, the star of everyone"s conversations, was currently giggling a storm up on the inside.

The sudden cause for Mimi"s change in personality was of course, more complex than wanting to be helpful.

After fulfilling her part of the agreement between her and Tobias, Mimi chose to make things easier for the man as he was regularly being given complaints regarding her.

To reduce his stress and problems, Mimi chose to aid those in need.

Ah, being praised and admired was such a thrilling feeling! It was almost equally as pleasurable as their looks of disdain!

In reality, the real reason Mimi took it upon herself to show a little more compa.s.sion towards her fellow employees was to secretly gain in on the gossip that went on in the company, using it against them in the future if she was ever bored.

Being such a kind person really had its perks!

As for her "reason" on easing Tobias"s stress, the man from the beginning hadn"t cared.

Even when he received complaints about Mimi, he"d quickly dismiss them. After all, the girl was the reason for his companies stocks increasing by thirty-percent. Minor complaints about her att.i.tude were nothing but insignificant to him.

He had even gone as far as to leave all complaints to his secretary Juno. Who would have thought Juno"s works.p.a.ce was filled with complaints.

Juno inwardly cried when he was given such a task.

What the h.e.l.l! The number of complaints people had on her could fill up an entire storage closet!

Unknown of the grievances her trouble had caused toward a certain someone, Mimi proceeds to happily eat the stick of celery in her hand.

...

In the CEO"s office of Glory Trade Corporation, two figures sat serenely, both diligently working and reviewing doc.u.ments. Despite the silence, neither felt it was uncomfortable and continued to work.

Mimi, sitting in the lounge area of Tobias"s office, flipped through the pages in front of her. The girl"s usual teasing expression was replaced with a trace of seriousness and a creased forehead.

Once reading the last line of paper in her hand, Mimi sighs.

"Nn, I can"t do this anymore! At this rate, I might hire someone else to run my company." Mimi extended her arms upward to stretch.

Tobias, working silently at his desk looks up to see the young girl lounging out lazily on his couch, her medium-length brown hair sprawled out on the cushions delicately.

After staring at the girl, Tobias shifts his gaze back toward his work.

Seeing as the man wasn"t directing any attention to her, the corner of her mouth twitched, her rosy lips slowly curving down into a pouting frown.

Releasing a bored sigh, Mimi sits up from the couch with a frown. "Mr. Itou!"

Tensing at the girl"s voice, Tobias looks up – his dark eyes penetrating through her.

In a deeper and sharper tone, Tobias speaks. "What was that?"

Mimi, noticing his black cold eyes, suddenly feels as if they were burning a hole through her forehead. Those menacing eyes of his dimming by the second.

Scratching her cheek awkwardly, Mimi suddenly realizes her fault in her words. Jumping up from her seat, Mimi hops toward the gorgeous man.

"Tobias, do you think you could do some of your CEO magic and find me some candidates to do my work? Don"t worry I"ll do the interview!"

Satisfied with how she called him, the man"s dark eyes lighten, slowly softening. However, listening to her following words he couldn"t help but raise an eyebrow.

Propping his chin on his hand, Tobias delivers an amused smile. "CEO magic?"

Bobbing her head rapidly, Mimi set her palms down flat on the table and stares intently at Tobias.

"Mhm! You can do anything with just the lift of your finger! That"s why I"m sure you don"t mind doing something so small for me."

Looking amused by the girl"s flattering, Tobias gently places his hands on the top of his desk, his dark eyes looking up into the girl"s glittering violet gems.

"But do you think I received this CEO magic by hiring someone else to complete my work?"

Grasping the meaning to his sentence, Mimi frowns and releases a small glare at the man. Unfortunately, Mimi"s seemingly threatening glare only came out as a small kitten pouting.

Unconsciously, Tobias"s eyes softened upon seeing her expression.

Not wishing to look anymore at the gorgeous man, Mimi huffs while walking back to the lounge area.

He knew very well how much she admired him and his hard work in the industry. She considered him a mentor; almost as if he were a divine lord.

Yet he had shamelessly used her adoring admiration against her to do her work.

Shamelessness and attractiveness were the ingredients to evil.

She didn"t need another of her roaming around after all!
