The Billionaire : Please Be Mine

"Tokyooooooo, I've arrived!!" shouted the brown-eyed girl as she just descended from the bus she had taken a few moments ago.

Her hands quickly delved into her bag to retrieve her phone. After successfully grabbing it, her fingers swiftly dialed a number stored in her speed dial.

While waiting for someone to answer her call, she paused at a bus stop, dropping herself lazily with a frown since the intended recipient hadn't answered yet.

With no response from the first caller, she attempted to contact the second one. Without much delay, the recent call was promptly answered, and her face lit up upon hearing the voice.

"Mimi~, I've arrived in Tokyo, where are you? Kaji isn't picking up my calls, what should I do?" said the girl named Hana.

"Where are you now?" asked Mimi on the other end.

"Seems like I'm in the Asakusa area," she replied after seeing a sign at the bus stop.

"Coincidentally, my office is nearby. Take a bus to Dreamland; I'll meet you at the next stop."

"Alright, I'll head there soon."

Following her friend's directions, Hana now arrived at Tokyo's largest amusement park. The large sign displayed there looked truly magnificent. Just as she got off at the next stop, a brown-haired girl approached her with an ecstatic face.

"Hanaaaa!"

"Mimiiii!"

The two girls released the pent-up longing, ecstatic to meet again after being separated for four years. Mimi, having just finished her studies in Tokyo, landed a job at the city's biggest amusement park company, while Hana came from Hokkaido in search of employment.

Hana placed her phone down after trying to contact someone. She couldn't count how many times she attempted, and the result remained the same since this morning.

Her irritated expression caught Mimi's attention, who approached her with a cup of her favorite hot chocolate.

"Maybe Kaji is just busy. You know he's the financial manager at his office now," Mimi said, trying to comfort Hana.

"True, he's never been like this before."

"Oh, by the way, there's an interview at my office tomorrow. Heard Dreamland's owner needs more development division staff. What if you try applying there?"

"I'd love to!"

**

Dreamland is a subsidiary of Dream Corporation, owned by the wealthiest individual across Japan.

Dreamland, based in Asakusa, is rumored to have a founder who is not only handsomely cold but also renowned for successfully establishing Dreamland at a young age.

Hana and Mimi now enter the grounds of Dreamland. Before that, Mimi accompanies Hana to pick up a job application form provided by the company.

"Stop here; I need to go to my office. You can take the elevator. My office is on the 4th floor, and you'll find the interview room there."

"Okay, thank you, Mi~chan."

Nervousness and excitement blend within Hana as she prays for today to be a good day.

With confidence, she starts walking toward the interview room after parting ways with Mimi in the lobby.

Seeing the lift door to the 4th floor, where she wants to go, still open, she hurriedly runs to join in. A man inside the lift looks at her with a cold stare.

Hana shouts at him to hold the door, but he ignores her, keeping his hands in his trouser pockets.

Hana's steps halt as the door closes. With an irritated face, she angrily kicks the closed lift door. She has to go to another lift on the right side of the building, continuously muttering curses at the man who ignored her.

The cold face, glaring at her cynically, will be remembered for a long time. Not wanting to let her mood be ruined, Hana tries to appear enthusiastic again to give her best during the interview.

Arriving at the interview room, Hana struggles to swallow her saliva after seeing many applicants waiting for their turn. A woman just took Hana's form and told her to wait while her name would be called.

After waiting for a while, it's finally Hana's turn. With confidence, she enters the interview room and faces the person who will interview her. The man politely asks Hana to sit.

After a few minutes, Hana is declared successful by the organizers. With a joyful face, she expresses her gratitude. But before that, she is asked to meet the director of Dreamland, where every successful participant must face him directly.

Without much delay, Hana is in the director's room, where she sees someone sitting at the desk but facing away, making it hard for her to see the man's face clearly.

"Jun, she's the applicant who passed the interview," says a man in a black suit with slick hair who had welcomed Hana.

Slowly but surely, the man turns his chair and cynically looks at Hana. Instantly, Hana freezes upon seeing him. Lo and behold, the man right in front of her is the same person from the lift earlier. Knowing his identity as the director forces Hana to abandon her plan to scold him.

"Name?"

"Huh?"

"What's your name?"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Hana Yui."

Jun asks for Hana's CV as he still doubts her. After handing her CV to Jun, she steps back and looks at him with a pleading gaze.

"Just a high school graduate? Do you even have the intention to apply here?" Jun says sarcastically.

"But previously, they didn't have an issue with the last educational background," Hana retorts.

"You're rejected; I don't need someone like you," Jun continues, tossing Hana's CV right in front of her.

Hana bows down resignedly, looking at her carefully crafted CV that now feels like a waste. All the anger erupts in her head, prompting her to shout at Jun.

"You arrogant, pretending-to-be-rich, heartless man! Do you think having all this makes you cool? Besides, I won't bother applying to a trashy company like this."

Hana's harsh words successfully change Jun's expression.

Quickly, Hana leaves the room after picking up her CV again. Seeing Hana's frontal attitude makes the person believed to be Jun's secretary look at her in disbelief.
