In the morning, a hotel boy knocks on the door and delivered a delicious breakfast. Joanna's mouth-watering overflowing from hunger after seeing the fruity pancakes, m.u.f.fins, different jams, and toasted bread.

"Have you ordered them for me?" Joanna jumps on her and hugged her tightly.

"Actually, no. Maybe the hotel's special treats?" She also has no idea.

"Wait, there's a note inserted on the bouquet!" Joanna picks up the small card then read loudly.

~~"Happy Birthday, Ca.s.sandra."~~

"Oh, what a nice handwriting. But, S. C.? Who's S.C.?"

"Huh?" Ca.s.sie is currently smelling the lilies, they were so beautiful and looks freshly cuts.

S. C.? Is it means, it was from Shun? She blushed from the thoughts.

However, she can't tell Joanna about what happened last night. Either she will tease her, moreover, Joanna would nag her to death for meeting a stranger guy without her as a bodyguard.

Gladly, Joanna's eyes were all over the food and she didn't see how flushed her face upon learning that it was Shun who sent this luxurious breakfast.

Ca.s.sie takes the card and keeps it. They rammed the food and burp from satisfaction. She's thinking to look for Shun later to thank him. He did so much for her and even for Joanna.

"Wait, and why you are smiling?" Joanna finally notices the smile playing on Ca.s.sie's lips.

"Am just excited for later's meeting." her alibi.

"Hmm. . . okay fine, whatever. I'll go use the shower first, do you mind?"

"Of course not, go ahead."

Ca.s.sie and Joanna follow the other guest that coming out from the elevator. It is the end of summer but still many guests staying in the country.

"Oops, Ca.s.sie mom is calling, I'll answer her first."

"Sure," Ca.s.sie went to the lounge and take a seat on the empty couch. Behind her pink sungla.s.ses, she observes the busy people in the lobby.

She was surprised when a woman stops near her and began asking rudely the handsome man in a gray suit.

She thinks, the man is upset something but still talk to the woman calmly. Ca.s.sie listens secretly, so she took out her phone and browsing her Instagram.

"Tell me where is Quinn, Rudolf!" Asked the woman.

"How many times I already answered he wasn't here. Even how many times you keep repeating the same question, the answer is the same. I believe it is very simple to understand, Olivia."

Ca.s.sie was stun. The man sounded like insulting the woman. How sharp his tongue is. Ca.s.sie took a peep and she saw the anger flashes on this woman's face who she heard the man called her Olivia.

"Then give me his number instead!" The woman insisted.

"I don't have the full authority to give the President's phone number to anyone."

The guy named Rudolf sounded impatient but she doesn't understand how this beautiful woman chases a man? Clearly, this President name Quinn was avoiding her to see. Ca.s.sie's interest grows and she got intrigued who is this President Quinn? She continued gossiping to the scene in front of her.

"Then tell me where he is!"

"Jeez, Olivia. I have an important meeting to catch up. Quinn was on a business trip. And won't come back till next month. Bye."

The guy left Olivia who was still in a rage as she was only ignored. Looks Olivia notice that she was listening to their conversation.

"What are you staring at?" Olivia is glaring at her.

"Ah, no ma'am. You are just beautiful."

"Hmph!" Olivia's right brow rose upward. She looks at her from head to toe then walk away and leave the hotel with her expensive car.

Ca.s.sie sighed. Why does a beautiful woman like her wanted to insist herself to someone who looks no interest at her? She was beautiful and rich. Surely she had many suitors.

Also this President name Quinn, she was curious what kind of a person he was. And looks like he has a reason why he is avoiding to meet that beautiful woman. She is rude and a complete spoiled brat.

According to Rudolf, this President name Quinn was on a business trip. Ca.s.sie wonders if she can get a chance to meet Shun today. She wanted to thank him and give back his coat, the first one he lends to her.

How if she will ask someone? Ca.s.sie's thoughts, then she began checking out every crew she spotted.

"Manager Lim! Director Lawrence is looking for you, they were in the meeting room."

"Okay, thank you."

Ca.s.sie stared at the man. The security called him Manager Lim, he must be the hotel's manager.

Ca.s.sie gathers the courage to approach the man.

"Excuse me, sir, I'm sorry to bother you but can I ask you about someone?" Ca.s.sie is a bit hesitant. She was now like that woman who chases a man. But she is not chasing a man. She just wanted to thank him.

"Did you know if, where--"

"h.e.l.lo, Missy!"

"Director Isagawa! Good morning sir," Manager Lim greeted this man.

"Good morning, Manager Lim. . . Kier wanted to see you asap, you should go now."

"Oh, right sir. Miss, am sorry but I need to leave."

"Ah no problem sir, thank you." She said then glance at the man called Director Isagawa. Then he knew where Shun now!

"h.e.l.lo sir, good morning." She greeted politely.

"Good morning, Missy. Do you need anything? What I can do for you?" Daichi asked this beautiful lady. Now he has a look at her this close, she was truly very beautiful.

Although, she seems very young. He hasn't been able to ask Quinn if how old she was.

"Actually, sir, I just wanted to ask the whereabouts of Mr. Shun. I have something to give him back."

"Oh, Shun Crow you mean?" A silly smile playing on Daichi's lips.

"Yes, sir."

"Before I will answer, call me brother Daichi!"

"Huh?" Ca.s.sie is dumbfounded.

"So?"

Ca.s.sie could see how this guy is serious in what he wanted her to do.

"But, sir. . ."

"Don't be shy, Missy! I would be happy!"

"Am, ok. . . brother Daichi." She said shyly.

"That's great, Missy! Anyways, Qui-- I mean, Shun is on a business trip. If any message you have, don't hesitate to relay the message on me."

"Oh, I see. Then that President Quinn and Mr. Shun were together on the business trip?"

"Huh? Ah, yes! They are together!" Daichi laughs nervously for the lies his boss created!

"I see. Okay, thank you, brother, Daichi."

"Don't mention it, Missy! Then, any message you would like to relay on him?"

"Uhm, I just wanted to thank him for the breakfast today, he did so much for me already."

"Oh, the breakfast he prepared earlier!?"

"He's the one who made those?" Ca.s.sie was very surprised. What is this? Her heart acting strange. These feelings are new to her so she cannot determine if this is what they called 'crush'. . .

"Don't worry, Missy. He'll definitely receive your thank you for him! That's all your message?"

"Umh yes, brother Daichi." Ca.s.sie is shy to mention the bouquet of flowers that was sent along with the breakfast she received. "Thank you."

"It's a small thing, Missy! Then, I'll go ahead. Someone must be looking for me now."

Meanwhile, somewhere above the Pacific Ocean is the Crow Corporation private plane flying towards Hawaii to visit the Empire Dragon branch hotel.

There is a man who was restless in his seat. Blacklines are showing on his forehead and his a.s.sistant just sighed if what triggers his mood again.

Meisha heard that their boss had a good mood this morning. In fact, he woke up so early then occupied the Kitchen and prepared a very special breakfast.

Looks like, this emergency trip what triggers his mood.

On the other hand, Quinn is truly in a bad mood. Although he only has a few hours of sleep last night from working overtime, he was excited for the morning to come. Then bad news steals his little happiness. He sighed.

He was in the middle of his thought when his phone received an email, it was Daichi.

According to the email.

"Dear Mr. Shun Crow,

Missy is sending her regards and said, thank you for that breakfast you make."

Instantly, a smile tore his lips. Meisha who were observing Quinn silently, his mouth dropped open to see him now smiling widely.
