Daichi patted on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Missy, you can read them all later."

She nods and smiled. Daichi leads her to one of the sofas and began introducing the other people in that room. She meets Kier and his wife Jean. Blaire introduced her husband Meisha and Riley.

"Missy, guess what?"

"Hm?" she asked innocently.

"She proposed to me this morning," Daichi whispered to her. Shun who just stepping out from his bedroom becomes even gloomier seeing Daichi and Ca.s.sie whispering.

"Hm? Really?" she was very surprised. Daichi nodded. Her eyes are now round and big staring at Daichi. "Congrats brother Daichi!" she gives him another hugged.

"Congratulations, sister Riley."

"Thank you, Ca.s.sie. I finally meet you. This guy always mentioned you so I kind of know a little about you."

"Ah… really?" She laughs wider, showing her beautiful smile.

The people in that room that haven't meet her yet before in person, is observing her closely. They have realized why she able to captivate someone's heart. And that someone is filled with gloominess on the sideline. What does this big boss sulking about? Blaire and Meisha talk between their gazes. Kier also gestured at Blaire if what's going on? Blaire just casually shrugged her shoulder answering she doesn't know.

"Food is here!" Rudolf steps inside the room following him the Butler and another two men bringing food in the suite.

"Brother Rudolf!"

"Ca.s.sie, am glad you are fine now," he was surprised when Ca.s.sie give him a hug. He patted her back so lightly because someone is throwing dark aura inside this room.

"You also came to get me," she said.

"Of course. Let's eat now. Joanna was yelling on the phone saying the same sentences for a hundred times. I can barely hear a thing now," he pointed his two ears. She laughs. Truly that sounded like Joanna.

Blaire laughs. She understands now why his brother is sulking. Ca.s.sie is close to others and she won't mind giving them a cute gesture like a hug. Don't tell me he hasn't received a hug? Poor brother. Blaire casually glances at her brother.

Meisha stared at her like asking what's she's thinking? She whispered to her husband and Meisha hold not to laugh. Of course, he witnessed how hundreds of girls confessing to Shun during High School. Those girls just waited for him to come by at the coffee shop Meisha working as a part-time, but Shun just dumped them all. He was already mysterious since in the beginning.

They merrily shared the dinner with Daichi's loud jokes. Ca.s.sie was amazed by how they form a great circle of friends. Shun has a great people around him and she was blessed to share with them as well. They were there when she needed someone.

Shun noticed her quietness. "You don't like the food? Do you like French cuisine?" he whispered to her.

Partly surprised for what he did, she shook her head. "Ah, it's alright. It's delicious."

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm… am good, brother Shun." They continue whispering.

Nothing did they noticed, their companions saw it and suddenly feels the pressure that they are like the third wheelers.

After a delicious dinner and a few more talks, each of them starts leaving.

"Ca.s.sie, we have to go home now. See you tomorrow," Blaire announced and give her a hug one more time.

"Thank you, sister Blaire."

"You are always welcome. Good night, brother." Blaire planted a kiss on his cheek, not noticing that playful smile on her lips.

"Okay. Careful driving." It sounds a joke of course. The couple is the best drivers in the world.

"Will going home now too, Missy! Have a good rest okay?"

"Okay, brother Daichi. Have a safe home," Ca.s.sie and Riley hugs.

"Bye, Ca.s.sie. Go to sleep early, don't stay up late of night. Control yourself."

They've wondered what the h.e.l.l is Rudolf telling to the minor?

"Those books can wait tomorrow," he pointed out the cooking books. Ca.s.sie smiled and nodded.

"Bye, Ca.s.sie." Jean and her exchange a hug. Kier just nodded at her then smiled partly. Ca.s.sie thinks, sure he is not shy but seems his personality.

Everyone now leaves. She then realizes she will be left alone with brother Shun!? Her heart starts pounding crazily. Why she did not have thought of it? Well, this is a hotel. There are hundreds of other rooms, right.

She feels like she needs a gla.s.s of water now.

"Ca.s.sandra," Shun calling out her. "Is there a problem, Ca.s.sandra?"

"Huh? Ah, no. Nothing brother Shun. Am just thinking to drink some water." She wasn't paying attention.

"Okay, sit here." Shun went to his mini bar and open something behind the counter. He took out one cold bottled water. "Here."

She looks up at him then take the water from his hand. He did open the cap already. She smiles while staring at the open bottle of water. But she suddenly got anxious, Shun is staring at her, it feels a little awkward. She ended up drink a little only.

Now, how she could open up to him if where she should sleep and where he will going to sleep? Should she just go back to the bedroom? Argh. Why she have to worry about these things?

"Go and have a rest now," Shun told her.

"Ah… but this is your room, brother Shun. I can sleep here on the couch."

"No. You will sleep in the bedroom. Don't mind me."

Ah. He's a bit mad. Ca.s.sie thought. Of course, she hasn't said she's sorry yet. And she can't say it either.

"Okay, brother Shun," she avoids his gazes. She rose from the sofa and tried to gather some courage.

"Brother Shun," she keeps her head down. She inhaled before she continued. "Am very sorry, brother Shun, for causing you so much trouble. I know, you are angry about my sudden leave from the island."

Yes, true. He was angry because this girl has no idea how dangerous for her to just wandering around alone. He now knew her capability, if she wanted something, she'll find a way. A smile tears his lips but he did not show it.

"Okay. I won't ask anything yet. But truly I don't like what happened. You put yourself in danger. How many times should I tell you to avoid doing such things?" He said in a very serious tone. "Go ahead now and rest."

"Again, I'm very sorry... and thank you, brother Shun."

"Okay. Good night, Ca.s.sandra."

She nodded. Ca.s.sie began marching to the bedroom but she still reluctant to leave. She is debating inside her head. She sighed. She turns around and marches back towards him. Her gazes stayed on the floor.

"Ca.s.sandra?"

Shun was surprised when she suddenly hugged him. He smiled and put his arms around her. "You must be very scared."

Ca.s.sandra nodded against his chest. She is hugging him tighter. She just acted strong. This girl. He sighed.

"Ca.s.sandra," he partly parted himself from her. He holds her chin for her to look him in the eyes.

"I want you to trust me."

Ca.s.sie meets his gazes then nodded.

"Okay. Now, you should go to bed."

Ca.s.sie nodded. A long moment had pa.s.sed before she realized that she was still hugging him.

"Ah… am going to the bedroom." She nervously said while letting go of Shun's waist. She turns around and walks fast leaving him.

"Okay. A hug is good… but it's dangerous." Shun exhales.
