He smiled.
"I've been looking for a good secretary," he said. "You seem a nice enough girl, and you won't be alarmed should strange things happen to walk in through my front door. You'd also happen to be helping out your other boss; Neku's wanted to put a spy in my camp for quite some time and I see no reason not to indulge him."

She stared hard at him. "How long would I have to do this?" This deal was more appealing to her.

"Until I decide you don't," he said, his fingers finally ceasing their tapping. "That's your choice - work for me until I tire of you, possibly the rest of your life, as a secretary - or do me three small favors and never have to see me again."
He watched her intently.

She looked down at her feet, thinking. When she finally looked back at him, she asked, "How long is this offer good? Can I have more time to think it over? Or do I have to choose now?"

"I'll give you three days," he said, coming to his feet and pulling a business card from his fur-lined sleeve.
Holding it out to her, he continued. "If by then you haven't called me with the answer, I'll assume you've decided not to take me up on my offer."
He knew he had her, though. That look, the sound in her voice - she would pay his price, he had the utmost faith.
Humans really were predictable creatures.

Shiki took the card and shoved it in her pocket, "Fair enough." Three days. If she found nothing, if she heard nothing from Sora, maybe she'd come back. And maybe she'd talk to Neku in the mean time. "I'll think it over."

He smiled.
"I have faith that you will," he said, turning the words into a twisted joke. "I'm looking forward to hearing from you, Miss Misaki!"

She said nothing to him and walked out of his office. Shiki walked back to her apartment, her head spinning with thoughts. She sat down on her couch, and pulled out the card. Her mind told her to crumple it, but she just stared down at it.
Three days.
Would she do it?
She pulled out her phone, wishing she had Sora's number, or at least some sort of contact info. Absently she scrolled through her contacts, and stopped at Neku's name. Shaking her head she closed it. Maybe tomorrow.
