But since Meisha met his sister, no one imagines he actually has a romantic side . He is a workaholic person . Since a teenager, he works hard to supports his studies . He is an orphaned and so he has no interest in the world but to earn money for himself .
Shun met him in one of his part-time job close to his school during the Junior High . He often hangs out in the café Meisha serves at . He was tall at the age of 15 because of his Russian blood, all heads would turn around to check on him .

Shun squeeze Blaire's hand, "I'll call Daichi to accompany you . "
Blaire looks up and gives her a question look, "How about Cassie?"
"Daichi brought the best of his gang into the island, so nothing to worry now," he assures her .
"Thank you, brother Shun," Blaire lean her head on Shun's shoulder . "You really is the best brother in the world . "
Shun chuckled . Of course, he won't allow his sister to put in a difficult situation . She knew Claire very well . She surely still has a grudge towards Blaire .

Meanwhile, two hours ago in Martin De La Rue's suites .
"Welcome, Mr . Lee!" Martin greeted the Vice President of the Empire Dragon Hotel .
"Master De La Rue, good evening," the old man tried to greet him politely .
"Here, have some drinks," he offers .
"Please, don't bother Master Martin," Mr . Lee refuses the alcohol .
"Alright then, I'll go straight to the point," Martin sounded unhappy .
"Tell me, Mr . Lee, how long you've been working in the hotel?"
Mr . Lee adjusted his glasses," Honestly, I've been working half of my life in this hotel, Master Martin . "
"And yet, you still the Vice President?"
Mr . Lee did not answer, so Martin continued .
"I can give you that position . "
Mr . Lee stares at this man unbelievably . He chuckles .
"Please, this is not the time to joke around, Master Martin," he said .
"How if I am telling you that I am not?"
Mr . Lee makes long gazes to this foolish man .
"Then, I am just wasting my time here," he attempted to get up but Martin stops him .
"Come on, Mr . Lee . . . do you not desire to run the hotel by yourself? When I took over the Corporation, I can give it to you . But in return, I need your cooperation," Martin grin .
"You were talking to the wrong person, Master Martin," Mr . Lee chuckles .
This time, he quickly stood up and showing no interest to entertain him further .
"If you'll excuse me, I'll go ahead now, Master Martin . My wife and children waiting for me now . "
Martin's face grimace from the rejection he receives, "Have you not dream for a better life for your family?"
Mr . Lee shook his head then laughs, "The president is generous enough already, Master Martin . "
"Have a good evening," Mr . Lee did not stay any longer . The air has been poisonous the moment he steps inside the suite .
He reaches his phone and dialed a number .
The person on the other line answered, "Yes?"
"Boss," Mr . Lee reported the meeting he has with Martin De La Rue . The other line laughs .
"I have one condition on staying loyal to you, President," he said that made the other line silent for a moment .
"Okay, what is it?" Shun asked .
"Could you kick your uncle's ass for me?"
Shun chuckles, "You don't need to request that, Vice President Lee . "
"I'll do the beating instead," he added that made Mr . Lee shook his head .
His boss ended the call then he walks towards his car to go home to his family . How dare that man?
Mr . Lee rather be demoted than treated like trash . He knows very well what kind of a person Master De La Rue was .
Compares to the young president, he treated his employees equally as long as you will do your job properly over your loyalty .

YOUNG VILLA, Hiryuu Island
Daichi was whistling while cleaning the pots in the kitchen . He still wears that Hello Kitty apron on his body . His phone rings so he left the sink and picks up his phone in the table .
He checks the caller and it was Rudolf .
"Did he missed me already?" Daichi joke on himself .
"Oi, what is it?" he answered .
"Boss wanted you to come back in the mainland," Rudolf informed him .
"Hmm . . . why?"
"Master De La Rue and his daughter were here . He assigned you to accompany Miss Blaire while those two were here . "
"I see," Daichi scratches his chin . He understands his boss concerns .
"I will go instructed my men first thing tomorrow before I will go back," he said .
"Of course, that's the boss wanted for you to do first hand . "
Rudolf ended the call before Daichi could speak again, his mount left open, hanging in the air .
"This man really," he mumbles . "Am not finish yet!" he yells .
Cassie was entering the kitchen when he cried .
"Brother Daichi, what's wrong?" she glances at the phone he's holding .
"Ah, I've been talking to Rudolf but he just turns off his call without saying goodbye, am not even finish talking!"
Cassie giggles . When it comes to these two men, they were often acting like little kids to each other .
"What Mr . Rudolf wanted, brother Shun?" she asked him, curious if Shun would finally have the plan to visit the island .
"Boss wants me to go back to the mainland for an important job . "
Disappointment flashes on her face but she tried to hide it, "Okay, brother Daichi . Good luck then!"
"Missy," Daichi seems like want to cry . "Am going to miss you . "
She giggles . "Don't worry about me, brother Daichi, I will be fine!" she assures .
"I will come back as soon as my assignment finish, Missy . "
"Hmm!" she nods and tried to act bubbly .
