"I said, clear the kitchen," Shun mumbled.

"Missy! What lunch do you like? I am preparing a soup! Perfect for the-- ouch! Hey, what's your problem?"

Rudolf elbowed him and whispered, "I told you not a good idea to come in the kitchen for the time being."

"What? I'm hungry, I can't wait to…" Ah… there was a dark aura behind the boss…

"Can I have some steak and salad?" she requested.

"Alright, I'll make you," Shun quickly responded.

"Hmm…" she nodded happily. "Can I help?"

"No!" Shun, Daichi, and Rudolf said at once.

"Ah… okay."

"Just sit here and wait," Shun pull a chair on the counter.

"Okay, thank you." Ca.s.sie just seated to the chair and watch the men do the cooking.

She was thinking to take some photos but she remembered her phone was s.n.a.t.c.hed at the port. She sighed. She just occupying herself watching the four men. She knew, if Joanna was seeing this she will get jealous because all she wanted is eating.

Not that long; Blaire, Riley, Jean, and Kier arrived at the mansion. Riley handed Daichi a black folder, and he left for a while. When he came back, his hand is empty.

After the food was done, the nine of them now seated in the mansion's long table. As usual, Daichi who initiated the talk. Ca.s.sie slowly chewing the steak Shun made. It was tasty. She was just able to have this cuisine back in France.

French fries are also her favorite, she kept putting them on her mouth. Could tell how Shun was please watching her enjoying the food very much.

They've noticed that Rudolf frequently checking on his phone and reply to someone's text. They all wonder who it was. He seems upset and arguing with that person.

"What's wrong with you?" Blaire who asked him.

"Ah, this hard headed girl doesn't understand the words bad connection," Rudolf answered.

"Bad connection?" Daichi asked.

"Yeah. I've been telling her can't make a call right now due to a typhoon coming. The line was bad and always hang up… but I've been already saying a hundred times and this girl still won't understand a thing!" Rudolf almost throwing his phone.

"Oh, is that Joanna!? Can I borrow your phone bro—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Shun already handed his phone. Everyone in the table grin. Shun's jealousy is apparent to them, to anyone actually.

"Oh, thank you, brother Shun." She took the phone and texted Joanna.

Ca.s.sie: Hey…

Joanna: Miss Young!

Ca.s.sie: Yeah,

Joanna: Don't yeah me! How dare you!?

Ca.s.sie: I know…

Joanna: I told you to tell me if you have a plan or something!

Ca.s.sie: You will just stop me.

Joanna: Of course not! I told you if ever, I'll definitely join you!

(Ca.s.sie laughs with Joanna's reply. She is almost teary-eyed now. She knows she is her true friend, but she doesn't want her to get involved.)

Ca.s.sie: Your brothers need you. Of course, I can't tell or ask you.

Joanna: Then let's do it when they are not sick anymore! I could sneak out of the island with you!

Ca.s.sie: Alright. I know you are the best friend in the whole world. I'm sorry.

Joanna: I won't forgive you! If you won't bring me some Channel perfume!

Ca.s.sie: Am not in Paris.

Joanna: Boss can buy one!

Ca.s.sie: Okay. I'll ask brother Shun. I think Mr. Kier's sis-in-law sell that kind of perfume. I'm going to the mall when the typhoon is gone!

Joanna: I hate you!

Ca.s.sie: Don't be mad, okay? By the way, isn't the typhoon will pa.s.s the island? Are you all okay there?

Joanna: I don't know. Grandma's house is old. Looks like the roof will going to fly anytime soon.

(Joanna sent with laughing emoji... She wanted to pinch this girl. She can still make a joke in a situation like that.)

Ca.s.sie: Why don't you go to the villa? I heard it was a strong one. I am worried.

Joanna: Okay. I'll talk to papa. Said, they could go home this afternoon.

Ca.s.sie: That's good then. I'm sorry I wasn't there.

Joanna: It's okay. What's most important now is you are safe and fine.

Ca.s.sie: Yes.

(Ca.s.sie decides not to mention the accident. It would be another long conversation.)

Ca.s.sie: I'll ask Mr. Jing to pick you up.

Joanna: I like that!

Ca.s.sie: I'll ask brother Shun to talk to Mr. Jing.

Joanna: Wait, can make a call now? Because someone said it can't be! Or probably just lazy to make a call!

Ca.s.sie: No. I'll just ask brother Shun to send a message.

Joanna: Okay. I'll go contact them in the hospital! Then text you later! Muaahh!

They ended their conversation.

"Uhm… brother Shun. Can I request Mr. Jing to pick up Joanna at their house? Am just worried. The house they were living in now is old. I wanted them to evacuate at the Villa until the typhoon is gone."

"Sure. Gimme, that..." she gives back the phone to Shun.

Shun is now typing on his phone and so, she continued eating. Shun said Jing is now going to Chang residence with the other two bodyguards to help them if needed to bring more things. She thanked him blus.h.i.+ngly and Shun smiled.

With this kind of mood, they felt pressured being the nuisance of this romantic atmosphere.
