When Oliver Davis landed himself with a girlfriend, Mai is pretty much devastated. Day by day, she could witness the sweetness that Oliver hadn't displayed to anyone of them.

Every day was painful. It's too much for her young heart to take then.

And the only thing that she could do then was to leave.

And now, six years since then, Mai came back no longer the stupid cry baby that she was but as a stunning confident and successful career woman who worked her way to the top.

What will happen when one case is going to bring her back together with the man she used to love?

Prologue

Things are still pretty much the same in the three years that Mai had been introduced to the paranormal. It has been years since Taniyama Mai had started working as an assistant for the ghost hunter Shibuya Kazuya, now she knows is the real Oliver Davis.

Aside from the few months that the office had been closed after finding Eugene's – Oliver's older twin brother – body, Oliver decided to permanently open the SPR branch. She was sixteen then.

Things had been pretty much the same the group of psychic weirdo's who chose to bond together. They are still noisy – crazy bunch that Mai had came to think of as her precious second family.

Things were going great then. Hunting ghost and making tea for the stupid narcissist.

And it all came to a change when she was about to turn eighteen – when the ice-prince Oliver Davis introduced his girlfriend.

Amelia Wall – the blond haired green eyed girlfriend of Naru. It's pretty much a mystery for them who Amelia really is. All that they knew is that he is Oliver's childhood friend. Both Lin and Madoka speaks only good things about her as well.

Amelia is nice, pretty, with the same intellect as Oliver. Aside from that, she is a powerful psychic as well. She get along with everyone including Mai herself. And Mai likes her as a person.

And that is what sucks!

Because even though she should be happy for him, Mai just can't help being jealous.

Jealous because she knows deep within her heart she wanted to be the girl for him. That, even with her botched confession years back, she loved him and still loves him.

Mai felt her heart's breaking while she was idiotically smiling at everything. She felt like she is losing in a battle that she didn't come prepared for. Everyday, seeing Oliver and Amelia together, smiling secretly at each other, holding hands, going to lunch dates, Oliver being sweet with the foreigner, Mai can't help but secretly wallow in her pain.

The brunette tried dating other guys – trying to see if somebody can help her ease the pain. Mai dated men with good intentions. All were handsome, smart, funny and most importantly, had liked Mai for a long time.

Bou-san and her friends were pretty surprised when she introduced her boyfriends to them. They had expected her wallow and cry in the corner after the announcement of Oliver's change in relationship status. But Mai just laughed it off and said that she too has a life – not that she wants to tell the truth anyway.

But her friends are much more surprised with how fast she changes her boyfriends. Some would last a few days if she doen't really like them. Other's a few months – just because they are really kind and patient with her. The longest is her current boyfriend, a friend in high school that liked her since middle school – Kaito.

From the start Mai had set the line clear, they'll date and she'll try to love him. Mai liked him as a friend why not as her lover?

Kaito knew of Mai's newly founded play-girl status but liked her nonetheless. Out of all the boyfriends Mai had, Kaito is the only guy that she might have liked.

But still she wasn't in love.

…and she's guilty for it.

Vrrrr….Vrrr…

'Ah, Mai. Happy Birthday! I know you'll pretty much busy today but I want to celebrate with you if its alright.?'

'Anyway just call me if you can. I love you babe!'

Mai just lets Kaito's call go into the mail. She doen't really have it in her to go anywhere today. And to think that it's her eighteenth birthday.

She's so not in the mood.

"Great…" the short haired brunette muttered as she continued to lay down on her comfortable bed. "Happy birthday to me….yay."

Mai turned to her side and looked at her pink hello kitty alarm clock.

8:06

Great…she's late…again….

But instead of hurrying and getting out of the bed, Mai just chose to continue lying on her bed. She doesn't want to go to work and see everyone….Bou-san, Ayako, her friends, Kaito and most of all, Oliver.

She doesn't want to get out her bed either.

Should I skip work?

Mai wondered whether she should go to work or not. Well, she's already late anyway, so why not.

Mai was about to call in sick when another call came into her phone.

The brunette was just lying on her bed as she waited for the voice call to be finished. And when it did, she closed her eyes and sighed heavily.

Somehow, her mind went blank. She can't seem to think nor do anything right now. But upon closing her eyes, she knew it's time for her to do something.

The brunette rose up from her bed and prepared to start her day – the life changing day of her life.

Things had gotten hectic since then.

She remembered going to the office three hours after the start of her shift.

Remembered the familiar noise for her SPR friends.

Remembered going to her boss's office.

And lastly…she remembered dropping the bomb of her latest news that shocked even the narcissist himself.

"I quit."
