My Stubborn Mistress

Levi quickly stood up and he saw President Crow entered the room with Ca.s.sie. He looks down on their hands that clasped together. A pinched on his heart seeing them together and holding hands. He stared at Ca.s.sie"s face where a big smile planted on her lips, she looks very happy while she"s looking up at Shun.

She then notices him and her eyes grew bigger like her usual when she gets excited or surprised.

"Levi!?" she exclaimed then make a long step towards him.

"Hi, Ca.s.sie..." he was stun when Ca.s.sie hugs him. He froze then glance at Shun. He did not make a reaction but only wear a long serious face.

Levi patted on her back lightly while glancing at Shun. He also glances at the other men but seems they just ignoring them.

"Levi, am glad seeing you here," Ca.s.sie told him then she smiled like the usual Ca.s.sie he used to know.

He did not see any trace of sadness in her eyes, somewhat he is hopeful to see a slight hope for him.

"Ahem. I just wanted to see you before I leave..." he said. "Can we sit there?"

"Sure, let"s go..." Ca.s.sie hooks her arms to him and drags him towards the long sofa.

Shun"s Directors glances at each other, that"s Ca.s.sie for everyone. She is sweet and friendly, especially to those she is with a lot. They watch their boss marching towards his table. They knew he was too jealous but he doesn"t want to act rude in front of Ca.s.sie.

Levi saw the ring on Ca.s.sie"s finger, it must be her engagement ring.

"How are you?" Levi asked her afterward they have seated.

"I am fine, don"t worry," she smiled. "Uhm, Levi... about what we"ve talked, am sorry. Something that happens and I lost my phone. I haven"t able to contact you again."

"It"s fine. All is important is you are fine and safe."

"Thank you, Levi. I really appreciate your offers to help me."

"You know I would help at any time you needed. Wherever I am, just one call from you, I"ll come to you."

Ca.s.sie looks at him sincerely. "You really are my best friend."

Levi wanted to drop his mouth on the floor. So this is all about a friendzone thing.

"Of course, that"s what are friends for." Levi wanted to glare at the President who is grinning right now. He knew that Shun was eavesdropping on them.

"I"ll visit you again sometime after my business trips..." Levi makes sure he says it loud. He glances at Shun, he gives him that threatening gazes. Hmm... this is fun. Levi thought then smiled.

"Uhm... probably I will be back in Hiryuu Island by then, I"ll tour you around!" Ca.s.sie said excitedly but then she remembers. "Oh, it is under rehabilitation and state of emergency. Need a lot of clean up for a while."

"Don"t worry, I"ll come to give personally my company"s donation. I"ll ask my government to send our Floating Hospital to temporary take shelter all the patient on the island. I saw in the news that the hospital was badly affected."

"Really!? Wow! Thank you, Levi!" Ca.s.sie jumps on him to give him a hug once again.

"Of course, like I am saying, I will do everything for you. I am the best friend, after all!"

Levi more like telling this to Shun. He smirks at him who is now giving him a two-edged knife gaze. Levi wanted to laugh out at the President"s expression. So he could stick around like this? This is exciting. He is being mischief, he admitted. But he was very pleased to see Shun"s jealous face.

The other people on that room heave a sighed. They were amused at the same time worried if where this goes. But above all, they wanted to laugh at their boss reaction in this whole thing between Levi and Ca.s.sie. They just know how he wanted for everyone to step away, except for Daichi who doesn"t care about the boss.

Now the boss has another rival on Ca.s.sie"s attention. Looks amusing to watch. They thought.

Levi and Ca.s.sie continued talking when Levi remembered something. He glanced at Shun before he whispered to Ca.s.sie.

"Uhm, Ca.s.sie... have you noticed something about President Crow?"

"Something like?" Ca.s.sie becomes confused a little bit.

"Uhm... how I would put it, something like, about his s.e.x life?" Levi wanted to know something, so he observes Ca.s.sie"s reaction intently.

Ca.s.sie was a bit surprised, then her face was totally red. "Ah..."

According to Ca.s.sie"s reaction and her movements, she and Shun shared that kind of physical relations.h.i.+p.

"Ah, never mind. Forget what I asked." He could tell how Ca.s.sandra a bit awkward about it and he confirms that the bite mark could be hers, the way she reacted to his question.

"Oh, before I forget. We will go to Paris during the summer to attend Mr. Larry and Ms. Loura"s wedding," Ca.s.sie informs him happily.

"Hmm... that"s cool. Surely I"ll be attending too," he confirms. He wanted to be there with her. He saw how Shun"s face is frowning. He grins.

A little more talks before he bid goodbye at Ca.s.sie because he needs to attend tonight"s IBA Dinner gathering.

They exchange numbers, he whispered to Ca.s.sie he"ll text sometime. He knew Ca.s.sie avoid not to mention what"s their original plans why he was here in this country.

Shun has been looking at him with dark gazes. Anyhow, one thing he notices is, Shun seems obedient and tame around Ca.s.sie"s presence.

Does Ca.s.sie completely have a hold of him instead of Ca.s.sie was controlled by him? So it is the other way around. Hah. How amusing is this... looks like, he has nothing to worry. But still, he wants to hope a little bit.

Before they left, these two blue-eyed men wrestle with their eyes for a minute. Levi is telling him he"ll come back then he smirked but Shun giving him a deadly look saying, don"t ever come back.

Pete"s been bathing with sweat but somehow, he admired his Master"s bravery to face this President, at the same time stays calm in front of the woman he loves for several years.

Ca.s.sandra and Shun sent them towards the elevator. After a goodbye hug, Levi entered the lift and wave. Moreover, at this meeting, he and Shun did have an agreement.

He rested his head on the cold wall of this elevator then sighed.

Pete just watching his master silently. He may not show it, but he knew that he was deeply heartbroken today.

Left by, Ca.s.sie hugs Shun tightly then said, "Thank you."

"It"s nothing. He originally requested to see you."

"Then thank you for allowing me to see him," she told him.

"Of course, I would," he said, without mentioning how he opposed at the very beginning. He smiled.

Ca.s.sie tiptoed to reach his lips and give him a kiss.

Ah... this girl. Is she planning to make him fall in love with her even more? Because he did already for a long time.

He wrapped his arms around her and pull her even closer like no air could pa.s.s in between them.

They have kissed a long and a deeper one in the middle of that 72nd-floor Hotel building.
