"Am just curious, about 4 years ago at Mr. Bastien Academy, you were there right? I saw you came out from the door just a minute after Ca.s.sie came out of the Academy. Why you didn't recognize her that day anyway?"

Shun tried to recall that day, he is a bit confused... about that time around of Ca.s.sandra's 14th birthday, he has a business trip and so he was late to do something... when he able to, he bought a flower and throw in the Ocean, then he got drunk and probably he still had a hangover the next day.

"If you haven't remembered, we meet before that day, but you kind of drunk that night though," Levi began narrating what happens four years ago.

"I sneak out from the mansion to buy a gift, but I didn't know some boys were been following me since the beginning. They took the gift I bought, then crushed it. Then you pa.s.s by in that street... you actually left but you came back and scared them away," Levi suddenly laughed. "That's embarra.s.sing actually," he scratches his forehead before he continued.

"I cried at that time because the gift I bought was destroyed. You asked me if it is for my girlfriend then you said, I should just buy something she could use or she needed," Levi paused a moment.

Shun, on the other hand, he began having an idea... seems like, he wouldn't like what Levi would say next.

"What you said, is like a book or something to read. Well, that time I heard Ca.s.sie is planning to ask Mr. Bastien to learn how to cook other dishes. I waited for her outside that day to give the cooking book as my birthday gift to her. Who would have thought..." Levi stared Shun that meaningful.

"That year?" Shun tried to remember. "She did have short hair, right?

" Yes, shoulder length. Her uncle cuts it like a boy when she was 12 years old. I think, possibly when they arrive here in Paris."

Shun tried to remember that day. He did saw a girl, but she is shy to look at him because he wears nothing but only a bath towel to hide his nakedness. How amusing her reaction is that for sure, but he tried to control himself not to laugh suddenly in front of everyone. He doesn't want them to get curious what really happens that day.

"Uhm... I didn't know. Larry canceled his morning cla.s.s that day," he lied. He can't wait to ask Ca.s.sie later if she remembered that day. Excitement surge inside his chest.

However, even he tries to suppress his emotion not to show to everyone, his eyes were obvious of what he is feeling in the moment. Levi sighed. He knew that kind of sparks on Shun's eyes. It is a man who truly cherishes someone dearest to him. Of course, he knew, because he did major in Psychology, he has to as what kind of business his family had.

What a small world... after all, what gift to give he advise is for the same girl he loves and the girl, President Crow loves very much. What a tricky fate.

"Now, President Crow... can I see her now?"

Shun just staring at him and not saying a word... after a long moment of having a debate inside his head, he has to decide.

"Alright, I will let you see her in one condition... you will go back to Paris, and stay away from her."

Levi is not afraid to meet his gazes. "I will have to leave soon for a business meeting in the US but doesn't mean, I will stay away from her, for time being until we could make sure that the Kang's can't harm her any longer."

Shun sighed. "For time being, however, I will deal with you after then."

"Sure, it's a deal." This is just a temporary agreement for Ca.s.sie's sake. "I am still not giving up."

"Yeah, whatever... just make sure you will not mention to her about what you learn, or you are a cold body when you step out of this building."

Levi laughs. This man, he really won't stop threatening him?

Shun also thought that this kid is too persistent for him to handle. They just give each other that intense gazes in the end.

"Alright, I'll call my sister to let Ca.s.sie come up here," Shun began dialing Blaire's number, the other line quickly answers his call.

"Brother Shun?"

"I want to talk to Ca.s.sandra," he told Blaire.

"Ah... she is taking a nap now, she already sleeping on the sofa when we came inside."

"Oh, I see..." he didn't notice his lips tore with a smile, and the next words he heard from Blaire makes him blush.

"Yeah. Someone probably keeping her awake all night, instead of allowing her to have a beauty rest," Blaire teases him.

He smirks, "Alright, I'll come down to wake her up," Shun announced then ended the call.

"I'll go get her... my sister said she's taking a nap."

"Okay, I don't mind waiting until she woke up." Levi cannot wait but he will as long as he could see Ca.s.sie today and talk to her personally.

Shun stood from the sofa and Levi caught something on his body... Levi was very surprised to see that and began wondering. It could be? He asked himself.
