I survey the men and somehow find myself choosing," Soryu."

"Really?"

"Him?"

"You're aware he's a mobster, right?'

"I'll be just fine," I replied.

Soryu just walked away.

"You better follow him. He's kinda shy." said Baba.

Sighing, I walked away and followed the path Soryu took.

"Boss, do you find it weird that she picked Sor? I mean, she didn't even seem afraid."

"Hmm. You're right. Let's keep an eye on her."

I see Soryu enter a room and I cautiously follow behind. I enter as he hangs up from a phone call. He starts taking his shirt off and throws it on a chair.

"What is he doing," I wondered.

"Don't get any weird ideas."

He passes by and goes into a bathroom and shuts the door. A minute later I hear the sound of a shower.

"Hmm. What should I do?"

I instinctively grab his shirt and start folding it as I feel a water droplet on the back of my neck.

"What are you doing?"

I let out a surprised shriek, accidentally drop the shirt and fall in the chair. He towers above me, glaring at me. Just then the door swings open and in comes Mr. Kisaki, Ichinomiya, and Baba.

"Seducing her already?" joked Baba

"Yeah, where are your clothes?" said Ota , chiming in.

"I just came out of the shower and she was folding my clothes…" he trails off as we all realize how unusual that sounds.

"You do laundry?" asks Baba. "Isn't it nice when girls cook, clean, and take care of you? What do you think Sor?"

"Don't care."

"Ya know, maybe you do like it. You always say you hate women, but maybe you're a closeted perv."

Soryu turns around and grabs a gun that was somehow concealed in the back of the chair.

"Stop pointing your gun at me!"

"You had a gun there?'

"Stop with the mobster jokes; it's not funny to us."

"Yeah, you're probably scaring Jade. Right?"

"Honestly, guns don't scare me," I replied nonchalantly. "Also, I think he has the safety on so he couldn't shoot you anyway."

"How do you know so much about guns?"

"My father owned a few for protection. He taught me how to use them so I could protect myself."

The guys noticed that her expression changed from indifference to melancholy as she talked about her father. None of this whole conversation went unnoticed by Eisuke who had become suspicious of Jade.

Later, Baba and Ota showed me around the penthouse.

"We all live down here, except for Eisuke. He lives alone on the top floor." said Ota pointing towards a spiral staircase.

"This is the lounge, where we hang out and watch the auctions. Most of the time, if we're not working or in our rooms we'll be here."

The guys had all reconvened in the lounge and Soryu handed me a pager and key card. "Come straight here no matter what you're doing if we page you. Don't lose the key card. The elevator doesn't work without it."

"Okay… thank you" I said hesitantly taking them from him.

"Hey who's coming?" asks Baba.

"Sor?"

"I'll go."

"Ota?"

"Yeah sure."

"Eisuke?"

"Why not?"

"Mamo?"

"What a pain. I guess I'll go."

"Wait. Where is it that you're going to?"

"We'll show you. Come on."
