My Stubborn Mistress - Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Exactly 11:30 the bell rang .

Cassie was been anxious all morning . Her mind went blanked and often glances on her wristwatch .

Joanna observing her the whole time and so she comes to asks what's happening to her .

"I am fine," she replied .

"Are you sure? Did they do something to you?" Joanna questions her .

"Of course, no . They all are nice to me . Besides, Auntie Ling is living with us also . "

"Really? Then that's a relief . "

She smiled .

Now that finally, lunch break time, her heart doesn't want to settle down .

She slowly walks towards the door with full of anticipation in her chest . And the moment she steps out of the Senior High building, she saw Shun leaning on his car .

Shun waves at her after he spotted her coming out of the door . She walks towards the car and he right away opens the front seat door for her . Surprised for his gestures, Cassie quietly sits in the car seat .

The resort is just a five minutes drive away . . . when Shun parked the car in the parking lot, she did not wait for him to open the door for her because she can't look at him in the eyes . She gets out of the car immediately and stood in the side and waited for Shun to come out to lead the way inside the resort's restaurant .

The Seagull Resort is one of the popular resorts in the island . There are only a few proper beaches and resorts on the island for tourists to stay comfortably . Since the Man-Made Forest became popular and the island is known for its beautiful sunset in the world, the tourism rise then it attracted businessmen for an investment .

Right now, the Man-Made Forest has been closed since Shun Crow bought it . . . since the property he bought to build his very own Hotel and Resort is just next to the forest he immediately grabs the opportunity when he heard the forest was for sale .

Shun pull the chair for her and this made her cheeks flushed red . She is not used to this kind of gestures and so she felt discomfort . She never expected to be treated like this that's why it made her dazed .

She felt light-headed like she's floating in the air the whole thing Shun showing romantic gestures to her . . . She is just a seventeen years old innocent island girl, so she can't determine whether this is a brother like sister treatment or just a special treatment between an employer-employee relationship .

The moment they both seated opposite in the table, the resort manager walks towards them and handed them the menu book .

"Cassandra, hi! Good noon . . . am glad to see you today," Ian greeted her . He is a brother of one of her classmate so they knew each other .

"Good noon, Ian . . . " she replied .

"What is your order? I'll personally take them . "

Cassie glance at Shun, they're eyes meet . She was a little taken aback because the guy seated across her wear a serious face this time .

When she's about to get worried, Shun smiled at her . Cassie felt relieved because she senses a bit of anger registered in Shun's face .

"Go ahead, choose all you would like to eat . "

Cassie exchanges a few stares with him before she lowered her head and flip the menu book . So much to choose from and so she has a little struggle what would be suited to her appetite today .

She is not used to eating foods serves in restaurants even if she tried many French cuisines back in France . She already learned basic cooking from her mom as they often cook her dad his favorite dishes so she often chooses to cook for her instead even back in France she lives for four years .

Ian knows well of his job and so he explained one by one every dishes that printed in the menu book . Cassie been in dazed and confused what to eat now .

In the end, Shun ordered something for her and she agreed . She just added some dessert and fruit shake .

Ian finally leaves them alone after he took all their orders .

Cassie wondered if Shun was angry that she took long to decide what she likes to eat .

"Master Shun," she swallowed some saliva before she continues . "I'm sorry if I can't decide what to eat . I just--"

Shun raise his right hand to stop her .

"That's alright . Am already thinking you are not used into this, you have nothing to worry . "

She blinks trice before she nodded at him . She opens her mouth to say something when Shun speaks again .

"By the way, I've been bothering by this the whole time . Stop calling me Master, just Shun is fine . "

Cassie let a few moments passed by until she could process the last sentence Shun told her . Did she hear correctly?

She raises her head to met Shun's gazes . It was warm that makes her heart skip a beat . She is still in the state of recovering when he picks her up and now, he was requesting something that would make her more uncomfortable .

"Cassandra,"

"O-okay, uhm . . . " No, she can't say it .

"Say it . . . say my name," Shun demanded .

Her lips pressing together and don't wanted to be part . How she could call his name in a normal way? She felt like, she will just stumble the letters of his name .

Why does it is so hard to say his name when it is just a four letters? She sighed helplessly .
