He was staring at his phone for half an hour now . He wanted to call Jean, but he can't find the perfect words to start a conversation . What he should say to Jean about last night?
Everything is still unclear but one thing he was sure, he misbehaving last night . And he doesn't want for Jean to think he is avoiding her because of what happened . He took a deep breath before he dialed Jean's number .
Jean was texting the girls when her phone rings . She waited for a moment before she swipes her phone and answers the call .
"Hello?"
"Jean?"
"Yes . You need something that's why you have called?"
"Ah . . . Well, there's something I wanted to talk to you . I know, I should talk to you in person but, I can't go home yet . Been so busy out here for the upcoming show soon . "
"Ah, yes . The girls chatted me about it . And I understand, of course, it is your job . "
Cold water poured on him . He does realize that things are not the same way anymore . He was a great lawyer but why he has no courage to face these small things?
No . It is no just a small thing . It is the most important thing above his job . He cut the call and he picks up her key car then rushes to the elevator .
On the other line, Jean was surprised when Kier suddenly cut the call . She wanted to be upset but what is her right? The whole thing is just temporary . They just agreed about this fake marriage for her own convenience . She was actually the one who take a huge advantage of this game . So she shouldn't complain .
Jean decided to sleep and held the tears that began escaping from her eyes .
She wasn't sure how long she'd been sleeping when she heard the bedroom door opens .
"Why are you here? Isn't you are working overtime?" Jean asked half-sleep . She thought she was dreaming . She gets up from the bed then remembering the call earlier . So this is why Kier hangs up the call, instead, he drove home for them to have a proper talk .
"Am… did you already have dinner? I can…"
"Jean," Kier walks towards her and heaved a sigh before he spoke again .
"I . . . I honestly clueless if how I will start everything . I know I have been an asshole sometimes and so much full of myself, but when it comes to this part, I am still a rookie . "
"I came to the realization, that I wanted to take everything seriously . Make things right and you, as my priority . So, Jean…"
Jean was just listening intently making sure nothing she will be missed . She becomes speechless from Kier's sudden confession .
"About last night . . . am sorry if I misbehave and do that…"
"Hmm? Do that?" She asked teasingly . She was in dazed . She can't believe, Kier is blushing . His face is turning red . She covered her mouth .
"Please, don't laugh . "
"Am not…"
Kier grabs her hand . Her heart began acting weird, she's falling for him .
"Jean, I was drunk last night, and did not remember the rest of what happens… so,"
"Uhm… isn't too unfair on my part for not remembering anything?" He added .
Jeans eyes grew wider . She began hitting him . "Hey! Why you're hurting me now?"
Jeans face flushing red . "Have you realized that was my first?"
"That's why it's unfair on my part . It's my first time and yet, I remember nothing . "
Jean was shocked . "You're kidding me? Don't tell me all you did is just studying?"
"Is that so bad?"
Jean covered her mouth . She can't believe it . How handsome her husband is, rich, and successful . He truly never had a woman before? But thinking about how he has mood swings, dictator, and talking about virtues a lot . Above all, he is a clean freak, truly be impossible he would bring any woman to his house or go to someone's house and have a one night stand .
"What are you thinking?"
"Nothing . I just wonder, how did you survive until now without…"
She saw how Kier's face flustered . She giggles .
"Don't tell me you wanted me to prove again how a man I am?"
Jean covered her face . She heard Kier let out a sexy laugh . The butterflies inside her chest are gone crazy, her heart beating fast .
"Did I hurt you last night?"
Jean froze, then nodded .
"Then… let's just do it next time . "
"Okay," Jean still covering her face .
"Jean, look at me . "
She just keeps shaking her head .
"Hey, you are not the only one that embarrassed here . "
Jean did not respond but she giggles . He grabs her hands and locked her into his arms . Jean got quite . She did not avoid when Kier lowered his face .
"Before I forget," he paused halfway . "When you'll wake me up in the morning, can you be gentle instead of kicking me out of the bed?"
Jean burst out in laughter . She's guilty indeed . But she has a reason yes why she kicks him out in the bed and she won't tell Kier about it .
She got quite when Kier sealed her lips .

EMPIRE DRAGON HOTEL
Shun open his suite and throw himself in the couch . What a long day for him . He massages his right shoulder and glances at his wristwatch . He checks the time, it is a quarter to eleven . If he hadn't left already, his business partners would invite him to drink more .
He drags himself to get up and took off his clothes to get a shower . Looks like, he never goes home yet for a month now . But there's no one waiting for him back to his grand mansion, just maids .
Shun wear a bathrobe after a quick shower and sit back to the couch . He picks up his phone and scroll to check his messages . His heart skips a beat staring at the photos Joanna sent him .
Looks like there is something that changes about Cassie . Is that how long since he left the island? It is her birthday the next month . He does wonder what birthday gift Cassie would like and if she would like to have a birthday party . And her promenade is in the same month also . Well, all he needed is to ask Joanna to casually ask Cassandra what she like and her plans .
If his work will be clearout next week, he could go back to the island by the weekend . Rudolf did notify him that he put the system back so he could go home after he's done cleaning the blacklisted players and those players that got reported many times .
Rudolf used this an excuse to convince his game partners to do his plans with hidden personal purposes which childish yeah .
Shun notices that the last text Cassie sent him is just a few minutes ago .
Back in the Young Villa, Cassie brings down the glasses and washed them in the kitchen then went back to her bedroom when her phone was ringing . She picks up and quickly swipe her phone to answer the caller . Good thing Joanna is a fast sleeper .
"Brother Shun?"
"Cassandra? You're not sleeping yet?"
"Ah . . . we've been checking out the things you've sent so, we stayed up a little longer . But I am preparing to go to bed now, brother Shun . " Cassie opens the veranda's sliding door to get out when Shun seems to notice the sounds she made .
"Wait, are you going out of your balcony?"
"Ah, yes brother Shun . "
"Don't go outside, for sure the night breeze is colder, you'll catch a cold . "
"Oh, okay . " Cassie closes the door and decided to sit on the floor by the footbed .
"Don't try to get sick," Shun added .
"Okay, brother Shun . Did I disturb you?" Cassie was told by Daichi that the boss always doing overtime that he made his office as home just to finish his works quickly .
That's why Cassie decided to pack some food for Shun thinking might no one cooking for him, completely forgets that Shun's office is the hotel . The only thing she thinks is to give back what kindness Shun is giving her . And making his meals is the least she could do .
But in Shun's point of view, he was very impressed by the way Cassie is spoiling him, also forgetting how he spoiled Cassie in ways he does .
The call continued with thank you's and complementing each other . Shun thanked Cassie for the food and Cassie thanked him for the ingredients and seasonings he sent .
It's been an hour had passed and Shun realizes the time .
"Cassandra, you should go to sleep now, you have classes tomorrow," Shun said but the other line did not respond anymore .
He listens to Cassandra's breathing . Shun smiled . She falls asleep . Shun did not end the call and left it connected . He was now lying on his bed when he heard Cassandra talk on her sleep . . .
