Chapter 1 - The interview

Chapter 1 - The interview

It was late afternoon and Seto Kaiba was sitting bored in front of his laptop in the villa. He had taken a day off today. Basically he really didn't feel like working today. His little brother Mokuba was in the company and Seto was connected to him by radio so that he could give him instructions if necessary. On the side, however, he checked his company's data.

Mokuba was allowed to stay alone in the company today. Nearly. Because Roland didn't leave his side, which of course annoyed the young Kaiba. But there was no reason to be upset about it.
He snuggled peacefully in his brother's executive chair and obediently followed his brother's instructions.

When it was just before five in the afternoon, a young girl was walking through the park of the Kaiba Corporation. She looked around uncertainly in the huge facility and everyone could see that she was not part of the staff.
Her clothes were formal and she had an application folder tucked under her arm.
At a fork she stopped and looked around in both directions, not sure where to go. She didn't have much time left to come to the KC and introduce herself to the ice-cold young entrepreneur as a nanny and secretary and to get hold of the more than well-paid job.
Suddenly she heard something scraping across the ground and went to the gardener, who was just planting a new bed. She quickly put on her nicest smile.
"Excuse me ...", she said and stood in front of him with a friendly smile, "... can you tell me how to get to the main entrance of the Kaiba Corporation quickly?"
The man looked up in surprise and looked at the young girl questioningly.
"Are you blind?" He asked, sounding unusually friendly. He lifted a finger and pointed to the large company building behind him and continued to hook the flower bed.
"Oh ... um ... thank you ..." she said, scratching the back of her head, embarrassed. She quickly put on the mask of self-confidence behind which she hid her insecurity.
When she arrived at the main entrance, the doors slid open by themselves and a security guard was sitting at the reception, who examined with a critical eye.
The look unsettled her and she walked towards him to be on the safe side. He was the only one down here that she could turn to to find Seto Kaiba's office.
"Hello.", She said friendly, "I'm here because I have an interview with Seto Kaiba."
The man looked at a visitor list in front of him and nodded.
"Go to the fifth floor." Was his short and unfriendly answer.
"Thanks.", She said and walked towards the elevator. The doors of the glass elevator closed and she pressed the button for the fifth floor. Her heart was pounding. She was about to step in front of Seto Kaiba and introduce herself to him.

Mokuba was immediately informed of the interview by the security guard."Mr. Kaiba, Ms. Kuzuki has just arrived here and wants to see your brother.", He explained and Mokuba rolled her eyes.
"My brother is not here," he replied curtly and pushed the guard away. Immediately he called his big brother, who was still working on and updating his company's data.
Seto took the call and sighed.
"What's up, Mokuba?" He asked in a monotonous voice.
"This is Ms. Kuzuki and I gave you an interview," he explained.
"Oh yes. She's very important staff. Take a look at her and tell me how you think about her. Just leave the intercom so I can follow your conversation. If she's nice and you like her, hire her, otherwise I'll interfere. ", Seto answered and grinned broadly.
"Ok, but why don't you want to see it? I thought it was for you?" He asked.
Seto grinned because he hadn't told Mokuba that it was his future babysitter.
"Have fun, Mokuba. I'm waiting for your conversation.", He said happily.
Mokuba left his head set on and rose from the comfortable executive chair. Reluctantly, he went into the hallway and took the elevator down.
The guard spotted his superior and greeted him politely.
"Where's Ms. Kuzuki?"
"On the fifth floor."
Mokuba sighed sourly and went back into the elevator.
"What is Mokuba?" Asked Seto.
"Couldn't you have said you were expecting her on the fifth floor?"
"No."
Arrived at the fifth, Mokuba stepped out and went into the office. There he sat in the armchair to wait for the applicant who wanted to introduce herself.
On the fifth floor, she stepped out of the elevator and went to the receptionist who was sitting behind a counter.
No sooner had she approached than the woman looked up and greeted her.
"Hello, you are definitely Ms. Kuzuki?"
The young girl nodded. "Good day."
"Follow me. Mr. Kaiba is waiting for you."
Obediently, she followed the lady into a small office with a glass table in the middle and two armchairs in the room. The room had huge picture windows, so a lot of light fell in. There were glasses and drinks on the glass table and her application folder, which she had sent to the KC, was there too.
But Seto Kaiba was not sitting in the big executive chair as she had expected, but his little brother Mokuba.
"She's there, isn't she, Mokuba?", Seto asked, "Don't you even want to say hello?"
After Mokuba was greeted by Ms. Kuzuki, he crossed his legs.
Naomie waited until the young Kaiba offered her a place.
"Hello, Ms. Kuzuki, please take a seat." Mokuba pointed to the armchair opposite.
Naomie sat down and avoided crossing her legs. She had read that it wasn't going to go down well. Her throat felt rough and dry. But she didn't want to be so bold and take off the drinks without having been asked to do so beforehand."Please, Ms. Kuzuki, please introduce yourself. My brother is not here at the moment. I represent him."
Naomie felt even more nervous. The whole time she had been preparing for a conversation with the older Kaiba and now the younger one was sitting in front of her. If she makes a mistake here, the older one would know immediately and her chances of working in the KC would be zero!
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself.", She started and smiled friendly at the younger one. "My name is Naomie Kuzuki and I was born in Domino and I am eighteen years old. I just graduated from Surio Private School for Girls. A few days ago I saw an advertisement in the Domino newspaper that they wanted a secretary and nanny . It has always been my wish to work in such a big company. "
Her mouth felt even drier now.
Mokuba and Seto listened to the young woman's words. Mokuba raised an eyebrow questioningly. "As a secretary and nanny?", He said offended and also as a question, since it was addressed to his brother.
"Yes, Mokuba, you need a nanny when I'm not around," said Seto.
Mokuba's expression became a little more insulted.
"Smile, Mokuba, you want to please your future nanny, don't you?" Asked Seto.
Mokuba put on his artificial smile, as if he had just stuck a piece of asparagus across his mouth.
"What kind of tasks do you expect from us? Are you also athletic?" Mokuba wanted to know.
"Mokuba, do you just want to think about your advantages again? What does she look like? Slim, blonde, busty? I hope you give me a personal description of her! Because if she is busty, I don't want her. "
"Why do you think ...", he discreetly described your appearance, "... that you are the right one for us?"
Naomie noticed that the younger Kaiba was hiding something from her because his smile was fake.
"Yes, also as a nanny. That is what the job advertisement said.", She explained, wondering if everything was okay. "Well, I expect tasks that challenge me every day and from which I can learn and gain experience for life. And when you ask whether I am athletic, I can say that I was in Tennis AG during my school days and also like to go jogging at the Wals at the weekend. I think that I am the right person because I know that responsibility and perfection are extremely important in this company and I learned early on to take responsibility and to master my tasks perfectly. "
Mokuba tried not to look too disappointed, but it was a little difficult for him.
Seto grew impatient. "For me she's perfect. Tell her that she can work as a nanny. But she should take another test to prove herself as a secretary for me. Let her type something on my PC. A letter to me that she can tell me." to send my laptop, anything.She will surely have prepared for a conversation with me. I want to check her grammar, speed and expression, as she presented herself to me again in writing, impersonally. And make sure that she doesn't take anything out of my drawer. "
Mokuba grumbled inwardly. He should hire his own nanny himself.
"Well, finally, I would like to ask you to sit down here and send an email to my brother in order to introduce yourself to him again, since unfortunately he was unable to take part in the conversation." Mokuba pressed a small built-in keyboard on the table and a modern high-tech PC popped up from a small hatch. He set the right program so that the mail could then be sent directly to his brother. Then he left it to Ms. Kuzuki to write the mail.
Naomie rose from the chair and sat down in front of the pc. Out of habit she crossed her legs and inwardly scolded herself for it. She waited a moment and changed the position of her legs so that they were no longer crossed.
Her gaze rested calmly on the monitor and the e-mail program, which was probably developed by Seto Kaiba himself, because the LC had been tailored. She clearly felt Mokuba watching her and his dislike of her as a nanny.
Naomie pulled her application form to her and opened it. She quickly and reliably typed a text into the program and tried to tell Seto Kaiba in writing that she was the right person for the job. Before sending the mail, she read it through again and corrected a few typing errors here and there or rearranged a sentence. Naomie was on time and she sent the mail off. She got up immediately, took her
