She sighed as the hotel staff took her luggage to her previous room that she was staying in. Then she realized that it was actually a suite and she actually cursed under her breath.

"You shouldn't curse, Ayuzawa." She blushed as she heard his voice and jumped a mile away.

"How did you...?!"

He gave her a smile and sat on the chair placed near the coffee table. And poured himself some juice that was already in the jug. "You didn't lock your door."

She smacked his head and glared at him defiantly. "How dare you make yourself comfortable in my suite! Get out, NOW!"

He shrugged and stepped out, but before he closed the door, he leaned in and said, " You look really pretty when your hair is down." She blushed a deep red and he left, as soon as he saw the different shade. A smirk made its way on his face and he started the ignition, amused that someone can actually throw him out without getting attracted, or scathed.

But what he said made him wonder how she would really look in open hair.

She wondered if he was stalking her, when he left letting those last words of his hanging in the air, she wondered if he was watching her from somewhere. The thought alone made her furious enough and she banged her hand on the table, then screaming in pain as her hand gliding with the glass and she broke it just one stroke.

She clenched her hand and closed her eyes in pain. This is her punishment for leaving her mother alone. And running away from her problems. She let out a breath, feeling strangely overwhelmed and fell on the floor, staring off at the ceiling without any thoughts.

Tora Igarashi was officially pissed off now. He got a call from his father, demanding him to meet that Chiyo woman again.

What pissed him off was that she dared to order him like he was some dog.

And the nerve of that woman! She officially guided him away from her. How close he was to find her.

He sighed defeatedly as he waited for her in the cafe.

Then he saw her again, with that blond guy with emerald eyes. He somehow had this urge to see his resentful face, he felt that he would be strangely satisfied.

Then he made a split decision of confronting Misaki and rose from his chair. He stood directly in front of her and smirked.

He stuck his hand out and looked directly into her confused amber eyes. "Hello, beautiful woman. My name is Tora Igarashi. I have heard alot about you." Yes ,yes it was a lie. But who cares? He just wanted to see her reaction.

She narrowed her eyes and glanced at the emerald eyes guy. "Do you know this guy?" She asked him. He watched them with an amused expression. That guy raised his hands in surrender and shook his head. " Nope. I don't share secrets. Especially if they are related to Misa-"

"Alright, what do you want arrogant guy. You don't know anything about me and I can't trust you." When she was about to walk away, he held her hand. Then he saw a flicker of irritation in the eyes of the guy. He smirked visibly, " Yes I do. After all, you are marrying me. Your daddy didn't just send you here to go around with other men. " She panicked and ran away with full speed, while screaming, " I'm not marrying anyone, especially not you!"

He laughed as he saw the other guy picking speed after her. "Interesting..." He muttered.

"We don't have all day, Tora. And you certainly don't want to make me mad, do you?" His fiancee said in a sickly sweet tone. His expression was that of annoyance and he saw her smirking, and he was taken aback.

"What are you smirking all about?" He asked suspiciously.

She cleared her throat and grabbed his hand inside the cafe. He rolled his eyes when she ordered him to sit down. His limbs obeyed her order without his consent and he was utterly pissed off.

"Alright, now." He demanded when she finally settled down with a plate of cheesecake.

She smiled at him then started eating. Frustrated, he took half of her cheesecake and gobbled it down his throat.

She chuckled at his antiques as he gulped all at once. " The women were right about you. You really devour stuff."

All the shock came together at once and his mouth fell open. No one had ever found out about his affairs. He smirked and leaned forward. "So what are your plans? You want me, don't you?"

She rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Hell no. I would rather give you to Misaki than marry an unfaithful man."

He chuckled and looked right at her, he looked back with an amused expression. Somehow, he felt he was meeting this woman for more than once.

Usui was smiling to himself when he reminsced about her, suddenly, he felt nothing.

Maybe he was just toying with that woman. But it was the first time someone refused him. No one had ever approached him with such fierceness.

It frustrates him to the point that he ends up banging the wall, and he realizes for the first time that he actually got frustrated.

His eyes landed om the lobby of the hotel and his eyes widened when he saw her coming right at him with that angry look on beautiful her face with her hair pulled back just the way it always is.

'She is just like the others.' he thought.

He made a stoic face and closed his eyes, praying for her to go away.

But fates were cruel to him. He felt a strong punch on his chest, even though it felt light to him. He could really hear her screaming in his ears.

He turned his back and walked away, leaving a very confused Misaki behind.

"So, Takumi you really love me, don't you."

He almost tripped over his shoes, jerked his head at the woman with bewilderment.

But his face turned blank immediately as he saw who it was.

He got up and dusted himself. The woman followed him, he honestly wished to see her face again.

And then he saw her, in the restaurant as she just entered and started looking through the menu.

He silently entered the restaurant and sat opposite her. He rested his chin his hands.

She was so engrossed that she didn't notice someone pull a chair and sit in front of her.

"Takumi! Come on, i know you want me too."

She raised her eyebrows and slowly kept the book down, as irritation and red hue clouded her face.

"Usui! What are you doing here!"

She looked at the hand on his shoulder and he brushed the hand as he noticed her looking. He looked at the woman and then back at her. "Why, having a date with you. Did you forgot, Misa?" He said sweetly wth that infuriating smile of his. Her mouth fell open and she glared at him.

"You don't have any date with me." She bellowed, as she crossed her arms over her chest.

A waiter came and requested the lady to sit. She nudged Usui again and smiled sickly sweet. "See? You have a date with me. Don't tease me like that."

She batted her eyelashes and Misaki rolled her eyes, getting up from that seat and sitting somewhere else. He got up and followed her there too.

Misaki was extremely pissed off and she called a waiter, " Could you lead this gentleman outside, please? His girlfriend is already waiting fo him."

The waiter gave one look at Usui and turned rock cold.

He bowed respectfully and faded away. Usui turned back at her and sat in front of her. He turned serious all of a sudden, "Ayuzawa."

She was startled when she was distracted from her emails from her friends and sister. She noticed that he was now sitting in front of her. Her irritation was going to get the better of her hadn't she seen his face.

He now had her full attention.

"Are you engaged?" He asked.

Her mouth was set in a thin line and she looked away.

"It's none of your business. What happens in my life does not concern you." She got up from her place and walked out of the restaurant without having any food.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. Why was he getting so worked up over this girl. But he sighed in relief when he saw that the woman who pestered him earlier was no where around.

His phone rang and suddenly his mood went sour. When he checked the caller id, he visibly relaxed. He pressed the phone in his ear and greeted the person on the other line.

"How many times to I have to tell you to not run away from your duties? Takumi, you know how your grandfather is." The person on the phone shouted in his ears.

He moved the phone away from his ears and sighed. "Aoi, I know that. Besides you told me to relax today, didn't you?"

"Well, that's because I was going to meet my aunt that's why. She really found a very highly educated student for work and wanted me to give her a job."

"So, you are planning to hire her."

" Yeah, as long as she can do the work efficiently. But you should totally check her out. Man, she rocks. At least she can pique your interest in women."

"Aoi..."

He laughed, "I was just joking. But she really is gorgeous. She funny too. You should meet her someday."

"Since when did you take a liking for woman in such a short notice?"

" When you will see her, you will know."

" When did you meet her anyway."

" I didn't. I watched her work and decline every offer of the males who asked her to hang out with them."

He thought that this lady was someone who didn't want men to be around and he was relieved. Because even if he denied a million times, if Aoi Hyuodou liked someone, there was no escape.

But that happened very rarely.

He sighed and payed the restaurant for his coffee, with a very generous tip to the waiter who did not throw him out.

Misaki sighed and wiped the sweat off her face. She saw another man approaching her. He was handsome and about her age, having dark night sky eyes and dark charcoal hair. He would even surpass a model. She wondered if he really did.

He stuck his hand out and greeted her formally, asking her name.

"Minako." She said without giving her surname.

He raised his eyebrows but did not comment on it.

" I am Aoi Hyuodou, famous designer and also owner of the company 'Burberry.' My aunt here says you are a newly graduate. Am i right?" He asked.

She nodded and he went on, "Then i would like to know your degree, and also if you are interested in joining my company for a while for a trial."

She smiled at him and finally, oh finally she would be able to study further.

"Well, sure. But I can't show you my degree. You can check my efficiency through my efforts. I will not let you down if you just give me one chance."

He stared at her, noting her confident aura that she emitted and somehow felt assured that she might pass his test. Although he did not trust her, her honesty made him give in.

He paused for a moment or two and finally said, "Take this card and report the office at around 7:30 on next Monday."

He left her dumbfounded and also strangely happy.

She can finally survive.

Tora was thinking about what Chiyo said to him.

"First make her fall in love with you. Then announce her to your father. I'm sure she would not escape. This way that Takumi would not interfere and she would agree to marry you without any complaints."

Yes, that's what she said. But he was utterly confused. Why was this woman helping him? Maybe she really did not want to marry him due to his womanizing activities.

He sighed and walked to the cafe she worked.

When she saw him, she became pale and decided to flee. But he caught her hand and took her to a quiet place.

There he signaled the manager that he was borrowing her employee and made her sit with great difficulty.

He could still see the uncertainty in her eyes.

"Ayuzawa Misaki, I know you are doubtful, but I really don't want to marry you. I just want to be friends with you. Besides, I already canceled the engagement. I hope you understand that I will not force you to do anything."

She sighed and slumped her shoulders, as if the weight of the sky was lifted off her shoulders. She looked at him so gratefully that he felt guilty for lying to her. "Thank you, Mr..."

"You forgot my name already? We just met yesterday." He exclaimed dramatically.

She laughed nervously and apologized. "Let's start again. Hi, My name is Igarashi Tora. And I want to be friends with you." He said, getting up from his chair and stretching his hand.

She smiled at him and he wasn't sure if he really said something wrong. She shook his hand and replied, "My name is Ayuzawa Misaki, and I'm glad to accept your friendship. But right now, i have work to do." She said withdrawing her hand awkwardly and working away.

While he stared at her in awe, someone seethed in obvious jealousy.

And those green eyes flared up looking at her being friendly.

But he did not notice something peculiar yet.

It was a week since she met Igarashi Tora. And he kept coming to the cafe. He would order only a parfait and start chatting with her in her breaks.

On the other hand, Usui Takumi would watch her in anger as he would think about how she would behave with him and how friendly she was with the other guy.

He knew when she worked here, but he failed to realize where else she worked.

He got a call as he worked to distract his mind off that woman, who stole his thoughts and filled his mind with her picture.

He checked the caller id and answered it while sifting through his papers. "Hello?"

"Takumi, did you honestly think you could ditch me?"

He set his papers down and looked at the calendar. Nothing was special on that day. What was Aoi talking about?

"What kind of best friend are you? I told you to meet me today so I could introduce you to her. Didn't I?"

He sighed defeatedly and set his papers aside.

"How long is it going to take?" He asked, disinterested.

"Probably a fortnight. Now get your lazy butt here as fast as possible." He demanded sarcastically.

He knew there was no escape and went on to meet this wonder woman that has actually been a subject of a liking to his best friend since he never liked anyone in college and further on. Even though Takumi was three years older than him, they both hit off pretty well.

But sometimes Usui wondered if he really did get along well.

He approached the office building where Aoi was waiting at the lobby. As soon as he saw him, he said, "Finally, I thought you got lost on your way."

He rolled his eyes and walked on, but Aoi knew better. After years of staying together, he figured out some parts of his moods. And he knew that right now he was completely forced by him.

But he had a funny feeling something amusing is going to happen.

As soon as they rounded the corner, Aoi smiled and said, "Meet her, my prime employee." He said.

As Takumi raised hai eyes, he was shocked to see the woman he met on the way to the restaurant a week ago.

Even she seemed shocked, but he recovered before she did. "You!" He said in his monotone voice, but it was pretty clear he was annoyed.

She gasped and jerked her head at Aoi, who had his eyes widened.

"Kaon, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to go and check the mails?" He asked sternly. She faltered and Takumi frowned in confused. She quickly gathered her stuff and with one last lingering look, flew away.

"If you don't want me to meet her, then why did you bring me here?"

Aoi laughed and said, "Oh no, i didn't actually want you to meet Kaon, i wanted you to meet her ." he pointed at the woman who was working furiously. His heart pounded and he approached her.

And as he cleared his thraot, she tore her eyes away from the monitor and looked at him with pure shock, mirroring his face.

"You!" She glowered in anger.

"You!" He exclaimed with surprise.

And Aoi could only watch with confusion written all over his face.

"Wait you both know each other?"

She looked at him, "You know him?"

Takumi replied, "You hired her?"

And suddenly everything clicked in place as he put all the pieces together.

Then he sighed and looked at Aoi, who was trying his hardest not to laugh, looking at the new expression on his best friends face.

"So I guess you have already met Minako before and you have already met Usui Takumi too. And this was the best introduction ever."

They both ignored him, as the pink hue covered her cheeks when she noticed his intense stare and tried to vile away.
