Present Time: Lunch BreakShun did occupy himself on signing and reviewing the doc.u.ments for the upcoming Bella Collection Fas.h.i.+on Show.
The lunch was served in the long table but he can"t leave his work.
He was ready to pick up another folder when he received a text message. His lips instantly tear a smile when he saw the name of the sender.
"h.e.l.lo, brother Shun. Are you on a lunch break?"
Shun glance on his table where the doc.u.ments were piled up.
"Yes, I am about to have my lunch," he replied. Feeling guilty because his lunch was waiting in a different table and work is in front of him.
"What is it? Is something wrong?" he asked.
"Ah... not that biggie, brother Shun. It is just, we have our temporary Math teacher, but we can"t understand her teaching very well. I am a bit confused."
"Can you take a photo of your current lesson?"
"Okay." Ca.s.sie presses the camera icon and took a shot of the page of her Math textbook then she sends it to Shun afterward.
"I received them. Did you bring your laptop?"
She replied, "Yes".
Ca.s.sie was startled when her phone suddenly rings, Shun is calling her. She takes a deep breath before she presses the green b.u.t.ton.
"Brother Shun?"
"h.e.l.lo, Ca.s.sandra? Can you open your laptop and log in to your google account?"
"Yes, brother Shun."
"Okay. Click Google Duo... Mr. Chang teach you already, right?"
"Yes."
"Can you use a headphone?"
"I have my headset."
"Okay, that would do. I"ll hang up now."
Ca.s.sie wonders why Shun needed her to open her laptop. She saw something blinking on her screen so she carefully clicks it.
She was surprised when Shun suddenly appeared. She wanted to hide under her desk. Her heart wasn"t prepared for this.
She could feel her cheeks burning. She takes a deep breathes before she could pa.s.s out. Shun waving his hand holding a phone.
"Ca.s.sandra? Can you hear me clearly?"
"Ye... yes brother Shun."
Her voice is shaking. My goodness. Please calm down dear heart. Shun"s voice was already too much, occupying every corner of the holes of her ears. Then her heart beats won"t stop racing inside her chest.
Worse, she can"t look him in the eyes. Why he suddenly had this video call? She becomes anxious in a sudden.
"Ca.s.sandra," Shun pointed the photo she sent. "Let"s begin in equation number one."
She nodded. Then Shun starts explaining. He writes the equation on a piece of paper then he will show it to her and explain the whole thing.
There"s no way she should not stare on her computer screen. All she could do is nod every time he will explain one by one the equations he answered. Shun told her that he will email the equations he did for her to have a copy and studied it again.
Shun finished tutoring her now and he already emailed the sample he did. She smiled seeing his beautiful handwriting. But didn"t she know, Shun staring at her intently and been amused in every reaction she had...
Her blus.h.i.+ng cheeks and sometimes her looking away a second before she will stare back on the screen and continue listens to his explanation. Her lightly smile or a big smile in a sudden. Did not miss from Shun"s eyes.
"Wait, have you eaten already? It is past 12:00 noon..."
"Ah, that... I was about to eat when..."
"Oh, when I decided for a video call."
"Yes." She showed up her open lunch box.
"Oh, why you didn"t tell me?"
"Ah... I thought, we will be just exchanging texts." she laughs softly.
"Ah, okay..." Shun did not leave his gazes to her and that she felt a bit stiff as she was trying not to move too much.
"Have you eating well?" he asked.
"Ah, yes brother Shun."
"You seems to lose some weight."
"Oh... do I?"
"Hmm..." Shun nodded.
"Ah, probably from staying up late of the night doing projects."
"That"s not good. It"s not healthy."
"Umh... yes, brother Shun but now that I have my laptop, I could do my projects mostly in my bedroom or anywhere during my free time now I could just carry it around," she speaks smilingly.
Shun smiled just listening to her.
"How about you brother Shun? You seem losing some weight as well..." True she notices that he looks losing some weight.
"Ah, probably from staying up late of the night reading doc.u.ments."
A silence past them...
"Brother Shun... that"s not good. It"s not healthy."
Another silence past them. Ca.s.sie covered her mouth with her left hand. She can"t hold it anymore and so she rested her head on her desk and began laughing.
Shun"s s.e.xy laughs echoing on her ears. There"s no way her heart would settle down.
They were in the middle of giggling when the office door opens. Kier and Daichi entered the room and was surprised seeing his laughs.
Daichi realizes and he right away runs behind him.
"Missy!"
"Brother Daichi," she waves at him.
"I missed you, Missy..."
She laughs. "We just talk yesterday."
Daichi keeps laughing but Shun glaring at him. Kier just observes them silently. He never meets Ca.s.sie in person so he is not close to her.
"Okay. You need to eat your lunch, Ca.s.sandra. Your break is over soon." Shun said it out of the blue.
"Eh!? We are not able to talk yet!" Daichi complains.
"It"s okay, brother Daichi. You both need to have your lunch too."
"Ah..." Daichi showing a disappointment expression.
Ca.s.sie smiled and waving at them. One more goodbye and Shun ended the video call.
"Alright, let"s eat."
The six of them mostly have lunch together, unless one of them has a lunch meeting or field works outside.
As of Rudolf still in China, Meisha was in Singapore and Blaire finish something, the three men sitting in the long table.
"Boss, I want to ask an early leave later. I want to go home." Daichi asked permission.
"Oh, okay. Please say hi to big sis Dana."
"Sure boss." Daichi raises a thumbs-up.
"Ask the chef to make a carrot cake for sister Dana."
"Alright, she"ll be happy." Daichi smiled.
The five of them sometimes hanging out at Daichi"s house during Senior High and they"ve become close with Dana.
Shun glances at Kier who keeps his silence and seems occupied of many things running inside his head.
