My Stubborn Mistress - Chapter 16

Chapter 16

CASSIE'S POV

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

She swallowed first before she tried to spill out his name . She felt so much helpless, so an idea came up to her mine .

"Ahm, I felt awkward calling you that way, Mas . . . " she paused a moment then continue .

"If you don't like me calling you master," Cassie bravely shared her thoughts . "Then how about brother . . . Shun?"

She said it like a whisper that barely to reach someone's ears . Cassie waited what would Shun reaction by it .

She can't read his emotion if either he agreed or be angry calling her brother . . . she heard him sighed .

"Is that how hard to say my name alone?" Shun asked her .

She can't believe why he won't give up demanding for her to call him by his name .

Is it just appropriate to call him brother Shun when he is too older than her, there is a twelve years gap between them .

She again can't understand him . Seems like, she needs to watch his temper and moods from now on .

Shun keep staring at her face like waiting for her to say his name .

SHUN'S POV

11:20

He glances at his wristwatch . Still five minutes early but he decided to go to school already .

He drives the car and park closed to Cassie's school building . He saw the spot in front of the main door is empty so he chooses to park his car in that space .

The sun does not burn that much today, so he gets out of his car and leans on it .

His gazed wondered around the school campus . The place is indeed different from those academies he entered before, but this school is not bad either . Although he senses needs to improve the surroundings, nature gives a pleasant ambiance .

Shun heard male voices coming from somewhere . They stopped at the bench behind the tree where he was parked and conversing about something .

"Did you saw Cassie this morning?"

"Cassie who?" asked one of them .

"Do you mean our classmate, Cassandra?"

"Oh, I thought my classmate Cassilde . Why?"

"If only you saw, she was so pretty this morning!"

"Nah, I did not see her this morning, yet . Even so, she is pretty already . What's surprising about it?"

"Your lame! She is stunningly beautiful today!"

"That is true . . . I have a huge crush on her ever since she moves back from France . "

"I also like her . Our promenade is just two months away . I'm gonna ask her to be my date!"

"No way! I'm planning to ask her as well!"

"Then how about we put a bet, whoever successfully ask her, he won . What bet you two will place?" the boy from other classroom suggested .

"Okay, if I won I want your surfboard, Danny . "

"What? No way! That was my brother Ian's gift on my birthday!"

"Then don't join the betting!"

The poor student tried to debate inside his head .

"Okay, I agree . "

"Yes!"

"If I will be the one to win, you have to pay for my diamond purchases for the whole month!"

"I want the same prize if I will be the one to win!" Second demotion by their schoolmate .

"Then how about you? What are your betting?"

"I'll trade my phone," he reaches his pocket then waving his new phone in the air .

The other two boys jump on him and try to snatch his phone . He runs to get rid of them . He even kisses his phone to makes them envious even more .

Shun heard their whole conversation and even mentioned the game Rudolf played . . . he is shotting dark gazes at them, now he wishes to know their player IDs for him to request Rudolf to hack their accounts .

The bell rang for the lunch break . The silent building now becomes so loud by the students coming out from their classrooms .

He waited patiently for Cassie to come out .

SEAGULL RESORT:

After five minutes since they had ordered, their drinks now served first .

Cassie takes a sip to relieve her thirst . She still nervous in this lunch together idea, not to mention how Shun demanded her to call him his name alone . Gladly their drinks arrive .

"Cassandra," he softly says her name after the server left .

Dazely, she looks up to met Shun's gaze one more time .

"Bro . . . brother Shun, you are my employer, so it was like disrespectful for me not to call you Master or Mister or boss or brother . . . " she wants to lay reasonable excuses .

"That's it . I am your employer, so I have rights whether what I wanted for you to call me . "

He sounded like this is the final she should struggle of avoiding not to call him by his name alone .

Shun sighed then said, "Alright, until you can use to calling me by my name, I'll let you call me whatever you are comfortable with . . . we just met a few days ago, you still don't trust me . . . do you?"

She's quiet again . . . she is not sure how to reply to him .

"It's not about I do not trust you . . . it just that I was taught by how to call someone when older than me . "

Finally, the food they ordered now arrives . She felt the hunger watching the dishes were placed on their table .

After the server is gone, she then right away tries the food, it tasted good . However, there is something that missing .

Eating quietly Shun sees how she enjoyed her food very much, so he did not bring up the subject anymore .

Shun asks a few simple questions that don't require for her heart to trouble beating fast . They finished the food happily with only light conversation .

Shun send her back to her school then informed her that he will be going to fetch her later after school .

What is this? Did he play like a personal driver of her?
