Fated

After the meeting, Matsuri left the room immediately. Temari laughed as she knows Matsuri’s life will going to be in hell, she wanted to play a little game, a game of what she called revenge.

“I don’t fucking forgive. I’m healing in hell!” Temari said to herself while placing all of her stuff in her new seat. A man suddenly entered her room without knocking, he walked towards her and stomps her desk.

“Did I tell you that don’t want to see your face in here again!?” Shikamaru said, his brows furrowed as he angrily stared at her.

“And? what are you going to do about it?” She responds and raised her eyebrow at him.

“Why are you here? And you applied to this company!? Seriously?”

“Why not? Your company needs a marketing head and I’m here” Temari said in her impassive tone “And don’t ever think that I’m here because of you. That’s fucking impossible, I paid you for the damages, right? So, I don’t have any business with you anymore. What’s your name again?”

He breathes profusely before saying his name “Shikamaru, Shikamaru Nara”

“Yeah right, Nara. You can get your ass out of my room. Bye” She swayed her hand signaling him to get out while preparing herself to sit.

Shikamaru smiled at her, it was a fake smile. Then, he turned around walking away from her spot. Before he closed the door, he said something to her “I just hope you will enjoy the stress in here so you could resign immediately”

“Aweee, thank you. But I can feel that you’ll resign first because I’m sticking my ass in her for a long time. You’ll be seeing me every day and will probably find yourself writing your resignation letter on your cute little laptop” Temari responded

“Is that a bet?” He said

“Oh, it is on!” She knows she never lost to a bet and challenging her is one difficult situation.

Shikamaru left her room frustrated and stressed.

Temari started working at her desk, waiting for an opportunity to face Matsuri and play with her emotions. She planned to be near her so she could suffer in guilt but she felt it was not enough, she wanted more. Temari doesn’t want her to only feel guilty, she wanted her to suffer. Multiple scenarios run through her mind on how to formulate a perfect revenge plan but failed.

“Alright, Temari just take your time. You’ll find another plan” she said to herself.

A moment later, she heard a knocked on her door and a black-haired girl entered her room.

“Hi Ms. Temari, I’m Yukata you’re assistant” she said

“Just Temari. Hi, so I’m going to need these files, can you get these for me?”

“Of course, let me have the list” She peeked at the paper and looked at her again “Uhm, these files, I think we can get these after an hour or two. The production team is having a meeting right now unfortunately”

“Right, it’s okay I could wait”

“Is there anything you need, uhmm.. Temari?” Yukata said while her hands intertwined in her back.

“No, it’s okay. You can go now” she said but suddenly an idea just popped into her mind. Yukata was about to leave when she stops her “Actually, Yukata I need something”

“Yeah of course, what is it?” She turned around and faced her again.

“Do you know Matsuri?”

“Yeah, she’s my lunch buddy!” she excitingly said

“Can you tell me about her?” Temari flickers her lashes while waiting for her reply, she hoped Yukata could tell a lot of information so she could generate her revenge plan.

“Of course! I have a lot. She talks too much during lunch so I could share something”

Temari menacingly smiled “Have a seat Yukata” She offered the seat in front of her desk to initiate a conversation “Tell me all of it”

Yukata started the conversation and Temari takes note of everything. She was thankful for her gossipy mouth; she was able to create multiple revenge plans in her mind. During their conversation, there’s one thing that catches her attention.

“Yeah, about her heartbreak” Yukata said while she pouted

“What heartbreak?” Her eyes widened. Temari did not know a single thing about Matsuri's heartbreak.

“So, there’s this guy that she really really really wanted for a long time. Well, I think it’s just like a year but It’s still a long time, right?”

“Okay, go on?” Her hands cupped her chin as she listens to every word she said

“Okay so, she confessed to him when she was drunk. Like drunk drunk, and guess what?”

“What?”

“This guy rejected her. And she didn’t show up at work for like a week after. Imagine that!” Yukata shrieked like she was the one in that situation.

“Rejected her?” Temari was surprised about all the information she was hearing right now.

“Yup! Then someone came I think to her house then after a week she showed up again at work, with her boyfriend. He was tall, dark, and alright”

Temari’s hands gripped the paper in her hands and crumpled it from her anger “Tell me, who’s this guy who rejected her?”

“It’s Shikamaru, Shikamaru Nara”

Her face was suddenly in disgust “Wait, is that the guy with black hair in a ponytail?”

“Yeah, I saw him enter your room earlier”

“Wow, I didn’t know Matsuri has a fucking low standard in men. That’s why she clings to Shira immediately after that!” Temari mumbled

“Oh, look it’s already 3 pm. I can get the files now” Yukata stands up in her seat and asked for the list again from her.

“Yup, right, sure. You can go now Yukata. Thank you so much!” When Yukata left, Temari concocted the best revenge plan in her mind.

Her hips swayed at the aisle of the office, looking for the guy in a ponytail. When she found him, Temari immediately sits at his table, and Shikamaru was startled after seeing her sitting at his desk.

“Can you get your ass off my table woman!? Are you trying to ruin my day until the very last minute of it?”

“Hi there, you little shit. Nice seeing you again” Temari mockingly said to him, wearing her feisty smile.

Shikamaru palmed his face, the stress he was feeling was beyond imaginable “What the fuck do you want now?”

“I have a proposal”

“NO!”

“I think you might wanna reconsider that?” She said while crossing her legs and sitting at his desk.

“NO!”

“You’ll have a reward after accepting my proposal”

“NO!”

“I’m going to resign if you accept my proposal”

Shikamaru looked at her, he was now interested in what she was saying “Keep talking”

Temari chuckled “I’m going to resign, you’ll never ever going to see me again, not a speck of my entity ifff….if you accept my proposal”

There’s a sudden silence between them after, Shikamaru was thinking if he would accept it or not.

“What’s your proposal?”

“You’re going to pretend to be my boyfriend”
