"Say it...say my name," Shun demanded.

She swallowed first before she tried to spill out his name. She felt so much helpless, so an idea came up to her mine.

"Ahm, I felt awkward calling you that way, Mas..." she paused a moment then continue.

"If you don't like me calling you master," Ca.s.sie bravely shared her thoughts. "Then how about brother...Shun?"

She said it like a whisper that barely to reach someone's ears. Ca.s.sie waited what would Shun reaction by it.

She can't read his emotion if either he agreed or be angry calling her brother...she heard him sighed.

"Is that how hard to say my name alone?" Shun asked her.

She can't believe why he won't give up demanding for her to call him by his name.

Is it just appropriate to call him brother Shun when he is too older than her, there is a twelve years gap between them.

She again can't understand him. Seems like, she needs to watch his temper and moods from now on.

Shun keep staring at her face like waiting for her to say his name.

SHUN'S POV

11:20

He glances at his wrist.w.a.tch. Still five minutes early but he decided to go to school already.

He drives the car and park closed to Ca.s.sie's school building. He saw the spot in front of the main door is empty so he chooses to park his car in that s.p.a.ce.

The sun does not burn that much today, so he gets out of his car and leans on it.

His gazed wondered around the school campus. The place is indeed different from those academies he entered before, but this school is not bad either. Although he senses needs to improve the surroundings, nature gives a pleasant ambiance.

Shun heard male voices coming from somewhere. They stopped at the bench behind the tree where he was parked and conversing about something.

"Did you saw Ca.s.sie this morning?"

"Ca.s.sie who?" asked one of them.

"Do you mean our cla.s.smate, Ca.s.sandra?"

"Oh, I thought my cla.s.smate Ca.s.silde. Why?"

"If only you saw, she was so pretty this morning!"

"Nah, I did not see her this morning, yet. Even so, she is pretty already. What's surprising about it?"

"Your lame! She is stunningly beautiful today!"

"That is true... I have a huge crush on her ever since she moves back from France."

"I also like her. Our promenade is just two months away. I'm gonna ask her to be my date!"

"No way! I'm planning to ask her as well!"

"Then how about we put a bet, whoever successfully ask her, he won. What bet you two will place?" the boy from other cla.s.sroom suggested.

"Okay, if I won I want your surfboard, Danny."

"What? No way! That was my brother Ian's gift on my birthday!"

"Then don't join the betting!"

The poor student tried to debate inside his head.

"Okay, I agree."

"Yes!"

"If I will be the one to win, you have to pay for my diamond purchases for the whole month!"

"I want the same prize if I will be the one to win!" Second demotion by their schoolmate.

"Then how about you? What are your betting?"

"I'll trade my phone," he reaches his pocket then waving his new phone in the air.

The other two boys jump on him and try to s.n.a.t.c.h his phone. He runs to get rid of them. He even kisses his phone to makes them envious even more.

Shun heard their whole conversation and even mentioned the game Rudolf played...he is shotting dark gazes at them, now he wishes to know their player IDs for him to request Rudolf to hack their accounts.

The bell rang for the lunch break. The silent building now becomes so loud by the students coming out from their cla.s.srooms.

He waited patiently for Ca.s.sie to come out.

SEAGULL RESORT:

After five minutes since they had ordered, their drinks now served first.

Ca.s.sie takes a sip to relieve her thirst. She still nervous in this lunch together idea, not to mention how Shun demanded her to call him his name alone. Gladly their drinks arrive.

"Ca.s.sandra," he softly says her name after the server left.

Dazely, she looks up to met Shun's gaze one more time.

"Bro...brother Shun, you are my employer, so it was like disrespectful for me not to call you Master or Mister or boss or brother..." she wants to lay reasonable excuses.

"That's it. I am your employer, so I have rights whether what I wanted for you to call me."

He sounded like this is the final she should struggle of avoiding not to call him by his name alone.

Shun sighed then said, "Alright, until you can use to calling me by my name, I'll let you call me whatever you are comfortable with...we just met a few days ago, you still don't trust me...do you?"

She's quiet again...she is not sure how to reply to him.

"It's not about I do not trust you...it just that I was taught by how to call someone when older than me."

Finally, the food they ordered now arrives. She felt the hunger watching the dishes were placed on their table.

After the server is gone, she then right away tries the food, it tasted good. However, there is something that missing.

Eating quietly Shun sees how she enjoyed her food very much, so he did not bring up the subject anymore.

Shun asks a few simple questions that don't require for her heart to trouble beating fast. They finished the food happily with only light conversation.

Shun send her back to her school then informed her that he will be going to fetch her later after school.

What is this? Did he play like a personal driver of her?
