Thousands of commuters marching along looking for a public ride. A bus, a taxis' or by a train...

A group of students complaining about the result of their recent Thesis and that stern professor won't give some slack time off...

Those High School students who pa.s.sed by began to make plans where they will go after school today when they didn't arrive school yet. Then, that group of cos-players discussing the upcoming Comic Convention next week and their partic.i.p.ation of that Game Battle.

The blue collar workers are in a hurry chasing the clock to arrive work on time, are the people who only think of surviving each day.

Behind those crazy sceneries is where laughter and smiles of strangers could be discovered.

Those a housewife who accompanied her children to school, and an old couple carrying bags of groceries, and that nanny following her employer to walk the puppies are just one of the morning habits of ordinary people on this society...

Where the simplicity of life is known…

And to the kings who seated on top of those buildings in the distance, where the world within their grasp are those who actually exhausted to began their day.

One of those King's is Shun. He has been signing and reviewing the doc.u.ments from 7 o'clock in the morning.

He glances on his wrist.w.a.tch and it is quarter to nine. Kier is late. Is that man hasn't sober up yet? Daichi keeps filling his gla.s.s last night even that guy knows that Kier's alcohol tolerance is low.

Shun called Kier's office and ordered his secretary to let him see when her boss arrive.

Shun get back on reviewing the doc.u.ments and glance at his table. He sighed. And when did these folders will be gone out of his eyes? Seems each day, the pile goes doubled. He began thinking that may be a good idea for holding Rudolf from going to China, at least half of his workload would divide. Early morning and his head began troubling him, he is just 30, and it shouldn't matter, right?

Father Lawrence nagging him to get married soon next so that there is someone would take care of him.

Is it necessary to get married to have a person could take care of his needs? Then how about hiring a personal maid or something else instead?

There's no way someone from High Society would do what plain wife's do.

Those known daughters only knew how to shopping and browse their phone to search for new trends then travel the country just to buy them. Shun tilted his head.

Kier closes his car doors loudly. He told the Wait Boy to park his car somewhere or anywhere.

His steps are longer and in a hurry. Of course, it is exactly 9 o'clock in the morning. This is his first time to be late. He hates irresponsible employees who come to work late that is why he makes sure to arrive at the office before 7:30 in the morning or earlier than usual.

All the employees that greeted him give him a sly expression. What's wrong with these people? He thought.

He reaches his head and tried to press the back of it. It is still hurting.

He was half asleep when he felt that he was flying out of the bed. Jean kicked him suddenly. He wonders why. He wanted to confront that woman but his soul jumps out of his body after he saw the time showing on his digital clock on the bedside table.

7:30 in the morning. He is late already! So he hurried to run the shower room but confused about why he is naked? Maybe that is why Jean kicked him so hard? He wonders if he took off his clothes because his body is burning and the alcohol making him feel odd.

Maybe he should call Jean and explained what happens?

He now arrives in the 72nd floors and the employees bowed then greeted him. Still, they all give him that kind of looks and some employees even whispering at each other.

His secretary just feels relieved when she saw him. Lorna bowed and told him the president wanted to see him. He just nods as his response.

After placing his bag, he quickly marched towards the President's Office where Shun was occupied on signing some doc.u.ments then he handed it to his secretary. After his secretary left, he was asked of certain issues.

After their quick meeting, Shun asked him.

"Did you able to look in the mirror today?"

"Huh? Why?" he asked confusingly. "I was in a hurry so I think, no."

Shun let a teasing laugh. He was more confused. Why even is the president giving him a funny reaction? Shun gestured and pointed his storeroom.

"What?"

"Maybe you wanted to use my washroom." He suggested.

Still confused, he entered the storeroom. Shun counted 1 to 10 then a scream from his storeroom. Looks like someone just sober up. Shun thought.

Kier seated back and shocked plastered on his face.

"Don't show that kind of expression like it was your first time."

The eyes of the guy in front of him wanted to pop out from his face. Shun's shoulder began shaking. Until noisy laughs let out from his mouth. Kier is giving him a dangerous look.

"Don't you dare on telling that man!" he threatened his boss."

"What? What so wrong celebrating your honeymoon?"

Shun just continue laughing. Not long after, Daichi entered the office. Kier giving him signal gazes. Shun grinned.

"Oi, what's up? Did I missed something?"

"Yes."

"No!"

Shun and Kier answered contrarily.

"Huh?" Daichi is confused about their action.

"Yes!" Shun insisted. Kier keeps glaring at him.

"Have you just arrived? You are late!" Shun said afterward. Kier sighed. He pulled his collar to cover his neck.

"Of course not!" Daichi answered. "I went straight to the Gla.s.s Garden to have my pre-final inspection. I came now but I remembered, I have a meeting with my team at 9:30 so, am leaving now. Bye!" Daichi exited the office in a flashed.

He remembers how he drunk Kier last night, the guy giving him a dangerous glance. Shun chuckled.

"Am leaving now too. I'll discuss to Jean about the contract."

"Hum…" Shun nodded.

***

His secretary knocks on his office.

"President, the floor Captain Ming is here."

"Okay, let him come in."

Shun looks up from reading another folder. He notices the box Captain Ming is carrying.

"Good morning, President Crow."

"Good morning. What is it?"

"Ah. I saw Director Isagawa's gang in the lobby. They said this is from Hiryuu Island. Mr. Jing handed it to them before they flew from the island earlier."

"I see. Okay, just put it there." Shun pointed out the long table.

Captain Ming nod then step towards the table and place the box carefully.

"I will leave now, President."

"Alright."

Captain Ming bowed before he left.

Shun put the folder and get up from his seat.
