A lot happens in that pa.s.sing week, the air-condition covered court will begin the construction soon. But before that, a new Telecommunication tower was been up and now gives a faster internet connection on the island... and it was all because of President Shun Crow, who he completely transforms the island into a better.
"Ca.s.sie, here's your lunch," Auntie Ling handed her the lunch box she packed.
"Thank you, auntie Ling. Am leaving now."
"Have a good day!"
Ca.s.sie closes the front door then walk towards the Mercedes Benz that waiting for her, Mr. Jing will drop her to school then will fetch after. She's still not used to this kind of settings.
Shun and the others still haven't come back yet. She knew that they originally live in the Mainland, and living on the island is just an option by works.
The men arrive like a whirlwind, and in an instant her life changes greatly she never imagine. The fondness and closeness they shared were like a whirlwind as well that suddenly disappeared but left a carves in her heart.
Honestly, she misses them badly. She felt like, she already used to the attention that they have given her, the care, and how she was pampered. She sighed.
She thanked Mr. Jing then she entered the Senior High building immediately.
The day ended but sadness can't be hidden from her eyes. She gathered her belongings and put them inside her bag. Joanna who notices her expression tried to cheer her up by talking funny things. She tried to smile and laughs with the others, but still, she can't bring up herself. What's the difference now and before?
Maybe before she doesn't expect for a family to be called and waiting for her arrival or be picks up by someone after the death of her parents. But now, her heart already yearning every day for the people who treated her like a special person.
She already expected the black car that parked in the same spot as Shun used to park every time he picks her up...and what she did not expect is the person who drives it.
Even though it wasn't the person she wanted to see most, but her heart still jumps of gladness.
"Missy!" Daichi waving at her in a funny way.
She softly laughs and a tear almost escapes from her left eye.
"Brother Daichi..."
"I missed you, Missy!" he exclaimed then opens his arms for a hug.
She walks towards him and throws herself for a hug. Daichi softly pats her back.
"Did you eat well? You look loosen some weight?" he asks her. Black lines showing on his forehead.
She can't deny, she truly had a problem eating lately like losing her appet.i.te. It was because, she misses the food they've cook for her, as she was truly spoiled.
"I am fine. Maybe a teenager's problems."
"What!? Teenagers problem? Did someone already asking you to be his girlfriend!?"
"What? No. No way!"
"Am glad, Missy. Don't get fooled by any men! They must get through me first!"
Daichi intentionally to raise his voice to be heard by many. He also lifted his arm to show the muscles. It happens that those three boys who made betting over her was now pa.s.sing by. Their face was gone pale a little hearing his words.
Ca.s.sie can't stop giggling watching his foolishness but totally touched the bottom of her heart.
When they arrived home, her mouth dropped on the floor. Daichi brought a lot of presents for her. She even doesn't know if it is suited to wear them on this island, but when she could have a chance to go to the mainland, finally she has decent stuff to use.
"Are these all for me?" she asked dazedly, still don't want to believe.
"But why?"
"Come on! You deserve it! And you deserve more!"
"You want to check on them?" Daichi asks, she nodded.

SHUN'S POV
Empire Dragon Hotel: Office of the President
"Boss, here are all the doc.u.ments and amounts from the auction." Kier places the brown folder to his desk.
Shun picks it up and read the figures... as he expected, the total price is worth the half price of the Villa. His face frown. They spent so much fortune that belongs to Ca.s.sie.
"And these are the property they purchased from the money they loan from the bank," Kier place another folder.
Shun flip the folder and the black lines on his forehead became even darker.
"Hawaii, huh?" his gazes burned. If he has a superpower, surely the papers on his hand already burning.
"Kier, I want you to fly in the US today. You know what to do."
"Understood," he replied.
"Where's Daichi, by the way?" he asked him afterward.
"He's in the Staff Area," Rudolf who answered him. "He's flirting with the new interns."
He grins, "he has to get close to that spy."
Shun was not surprise hearing about a spy entering his hotel. In the world he's living in, having enemies and compet.i.tors are typical. Fortunately, he has the best Head Security on his side and that makes Daichi so reliable.
He has a good sense in people whether they are a friend or a foe. He has a keen eye on determining a malicious desire and threatened Shun's company.
"So they sent a woman this time, huh?" he laughs. What a pity.
"Rudolf, I want you to handle this matter."
Rudolf stopped moving his finger from typing. Dealing with women is his weakness. Although he'd done many times already, he is not comfortable getting close to any woman, only Blaire, and Ca.s.sie who's are an exemption.
"Looks like I have to stay longer here, so I will send Daichi back to the island first," he stares at him meaningfully.
"And you will keep on eye to that spy," he added.
Helplessly, he sighed. He can't refuse, it is not only as a job but he won't allow anyone to do whatever they'd plan to threaten Shun's position.
"Okay."
"You both can go back to your office now."
Kier and Rudolf get up and bows before leaving his office.
Finally, he was left alone. He sighed countless times. He also clenches his hand. Seems like, it will take a while before he could go back to the island.
