Chapter 4: Beware

"Argh! Fuck!" The furious CEO slammed his hand on his desk, startling his assistant. Silver had just found out that a business rival had snatched an important client away from him.

Kyouka walked behind him and gently massaged his tense shoulders. "I apologize for the bad news, sir. Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?"

He appreciated her generous offer, but he wasn't in the mood. "Sigh. No, it's okay, Kyouka. Cancel all my plans for this evening. I'm gonna go get some fresh air."

"Yes, sir." Kyouka was disappointed that she was rejected, but she knew that it was best to not bother him.

Silver left his office and walked out the building. Without realizing it, he had already reached the sandy beach. The sun was setting, so there weren't that many tourists on the popular beach anymore. He took his shoes off and continued walking along the cool sand towards the water. He watches the water getting gently blown back and forth by the wind. It felt relaxing. It was the perfect balance to ease his mind. He watched the people who were still surfing or jet skiing on the clear, blue waterfront. He admired their youthfulness and freedom. His attention was then directed to a surfer. She was swiftly riding the waves like a professional. He looked closely and realized that he knew that brave girl. It was Ultear. She came back to the shore and finally sees Silver.

"Mr. Fullbuster? Is that you?" She excitedly went to greet him. "Hi! I didn't expect to see you here."

"Me neither. Heh. Anyways, you were amazing out there. I never knew you could surf like that."

Ultear's cheeks glowed red. "Ah, t-thank you. It's just a hobby that I enjoy..." She sees him watching the other surfers. She could tell that he secretly wanted to try it too. "Do you want to borrow my board?"

"Oh, no! Haha! I haven't done it in such a long time. I'd probably fall off before I could even get on!"

"Awh~ Don't be a poor sport, ossan! C'mon!" Ultear grabbed his hand and dragged him to the water. He was reluctant at first, but he finally decided to give it a try after Ultear's constant peer pressuring and teasing. He took his dress shirt off and dipped in the water. Ultear was beside him and assisted him throughout the 'training' lesson. Silver ended up having a really great time. He was happy to be able to enjoy surfing again, just like how he once had when he was younger. "See? That was fun, wasn't it?"

He lifted his hand and patted his instructor's head. "Thank you, Ultear. I never expected to do something like that at this age. Thanks for letting me relive my youthful days." Ultear widely smiled to him. She was happy that he enjoyed it. He didn't know why, but seeing Ultear's cheeky smile suddenly made him much happier.

…

Kyouka was asked to deliver some documents to Gray. She happily obliged. Ever since Gray's arrival to the office, she hadn't have any alone time with the younger boy. She was craving for a young man like him. He looked even more appetizing than his father. When she arrived to Gray's office, she purposely bends over while handing him the paperwork. 'Whoa!' The young boss was liking what he was seeing. Kyouka's twins were literally right in front of his face. His cheeks slightly glowed red due to the pleasant sight. "Some documents for you. Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Fullbuster~"

Gray wanted to say 'fuck yeah' so badly, but that would have been very unprofessional of him. Plus, he knew that Kyouka and his father were already screwing around behind the scenes, so it would have been weird to try to hook up with her. "Uh, n-no. I'm good. Thank you," he shyly replied, while directing his gaze on the documents to distract himself.

Kyouka pursed her lips. She was disappointed. Her seduction tactics always worked, but she didn't understand why he rejected her. Refusing to give up, she decided to walk around his office, examining his décor and photos. Gray couldn't help but secretly peek glances at her, wondering what she'll do next. Kyouka circled around him and notices a picture of Gray and his mother on his desk. She purposely leaned over his shoulders to get a closer look at it. "Awh~ Is that you and your mother?"

"Y-Yes."

"How adorable~" she softly purred into his ears. Gray's cheeks turned bright red. The older woman was just too damn sexy, that it made his body tremble with lust. Kyouka proudly grinned. 'Of course you'd be feeling hot right now, boy. No one can ever refuse me.' She was about to put her hands on the young man's shoulder, but suddenly, the door swung open.

"Hey! Wanna go have… lunch?" Ultear's eyebrows shifted upwards. She notices the two of them particularly close to each other.

"Yes!" Gray immediately got up and walked to Ultear. He was so relieved to have her come distract them. "E-Excuse us, Kyouka. Please go back to work. And again, thank you for the documents." He quickly dragged Ultear out of the office, leaving the disappointed assistant behind.

'Hmph! Stupid girl! You just had to ruin our moment, huh?! Don't think that I won't try again though, boy. Soon, I'll be able to get you within my grasp.'

…

Gray eagerly drank his cold cup of water. He needed to cool himself down and clear his mind of Kyouka.

"What was that all about? You're such a playboy, even at work!" Gray glared at Ultear. He didn't appreciate her constantly teasing him about the dangerous situation he had just came out from. "Ok! Ok! I'm sorry! But wow! I'm surprise someone like you know how to restrain yourself. I always thought you're just a player. I didn't know you have morals."

"Tch! I'm a little hurt that you think so lowly of me, Ultear."

"Ahahaha! I'm just joking with you! No hard feelings!" Despite her apology, Gray was still mad at her. Therefore, Ultear sported her cutest 'puppy-eye' look to Gray, hoping he would forgive her. "Pwease forgive me, Gray-sama~"

He wanted to continue acting mad, but the look on her face was just too amusing, that he couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, fine."

"Yay!" Ultear cheered. She was glad to make him happy, so she decided to treat him lunch. Gray refused, but she was resolute on paying. "You got me this job, so consider it as a 'thank you' for it. Plus, consider it as a 'congratulations' on passing our first semester of school together, alright?"

Due to his wealthy background, Gray never had anyone 'treat' him before. He was always the one splurging on others – such as his friends and ex-girlfriends. It felt nice to have someone do that for him, even if it was just for a simple meal. "Sigh. Alright." Ultear smiled and handed him the menu, encouraging him to order whatever he wanted. Gray couldn't help but warmly smile in return.

…

"Ah, Mr. Fullbuster! I didn't expect to see you here again," Ultear said, while returning her rental surfboard. The CEO was no longer in his business outfit. Instead, he was wearing a simple beach shorts and muscle tee, which perfectly flaunts his masculine arms and muscles. Silver wanted to thank Ultear for the surfing lessons the other day, so he invited her to a snorkeling adventure with him. "Eh? But Mr. Fullbuster, I've never done it before. Besides, I don't want to trouble you." He gently shook his head and continued inviting her to accompany him. Ultear couldn't deny it that she did secretly wanted to go too. Who wouldn't want to go on a private adventure with him~ Therefore, the two of them got into his car and drove to the other side of the beach – the private and secluded section, specifically reserved for paid tourists only. "Whoa~" Ultear was amazed to see the private area. It was much more beautiful and less populated than the public side. 'So this is where the privileged, rich people go to, huh?' They spent the rest of the evening accompanying each other in the deep, clear water – swimming and exploring the variety of fishes in their natural habitat. Ultear was very excited. She had never done anything as extravagant and fun before. She was truly grateful of Silver for his generous offer. "Thank you so much, Mr. Fullbuster. I had a really great time."

"No problem! I'm glad that you liked it. Have you tried scuba diving before? Or jet skiing?"

"Oh, no. Those types of activities are too expensive for my budget," she shyly admitted.

"Hm? That's no good. Would you like to try it sometime then?"

"M-Mr. Fullbuster, I really don't want to bother you again or waste your money. Heh heh, I feel so guilty already!"

Silver was quiet for a second. "Back then, before Gray was born, I lived a pretty adventurous lifestyle with Gray's mother. Sigh. It's a shame that I haven't been able to enjoy myself or make Gray happy due to this new busy life that I created."

"Mr. Fullbuster?" Ultear glanced over to Silver and saw that he looked a little gloomy. 'Poor baby.' If she could, she would have embraced him and held onto him tightly. Instead, she advised, "You know… the most precious gift you can give someone is your time and attention… Maybe you should invite Gray too?" A smile finally replaced Silver's frown of distress. He thanked the young lady for her wise words of wisdom. "Heh, of course! I'm glad to be of any help for you." She turned her gaze to the beach to hide her red cheeks. The glowing appreciation of her face shone brighter than the noonday sun.

…

Gray was lazily leaning onto the conference table while a few associates were delivering their speeches during a business meeting. 'Ugh! So boring.' He shifted his gaze downward and accidentally spotted Kyouka's sexy, crossed legs. He looked up and notices Kyouka ogling at him. 'Oh shit!' Gray immediately retracted his attention to the speakers. 'Dammit! Why the fuck did I look at her?! Shit! I can already tell something bad is about to happen.' When the meeting was over, Gray purposely tried to rush out first, but Silver demanded him to go with Kyouka to greet a guest downstairs. He tried his best to not make eye contact with Kyouka, but it was impossible, because she was lecherously staring him down. 'Oh god! Hurry up elevator!' Ding! 'Thank goodness!' When they got off, Kyouka suddenly pushed him aside to a corner and pinned him against the wall. "Kyouka! W-What are you doing?!"

She pursed her lips. "Oh please~ Don't act like you're so innocent, boy. I saw you staring at my legs earlier. Why don't we head to somewhere quiet for a bit, huh~ We still have some time before the guests arrive…" Kyouka leaned closer to Gray. She was so close to him, that he could feel her body heat against him.

"K-Kyouka, I think you've got the wrong idea-" The assistant refused to listen to his excuses and seductively smirked. His fragrant scent and uncontrollable trembling was turning her on. She loved 'toying' with shy men. The sexy assistant tilts her head and leans into Gray's lips. She was so close to her destination, but she quickly drew back when she felt something wet splattering on the ground.

"What the-" She looked down and gasped. Coffee was splattered all over the floor while her precious, brand new stilettos were covered in the hot beverage. "Ahhh!" she screamed. The two co-workers looked over and saw a familiar barista.

"Oops!"

"Y-You bitch!" Kyouka was fuming with rage! She was about to slap Ultear, but Gray quickly shielded his friend. "Gasp! Gray! I-I'm so sorry!" The surrounding guests and onlookers quickly came to see the commotion. They either pitied the poor barista getting fiercely yelled at or they pitied the vicious office woman who got her brand name shoes ruined. Embarrassed, Kyouka glared at Ultear with a threatening stare. 'This ain't over!' she mouthed to Ultear, before storming back to the elevator.

Ultear's mouth was agape. 'Did I just met my mortal enemy? Oh god!' Gray went poker-faced when he suddenly heard Ultear laughing. He shooed the onlookers away and demanded a nearby employee to clean up the mess before dragging Ultear to the side.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"What?!"

"Why did you embarrass Kyouka like that?"

"Hey! I saved your ass. Shouldn't you be thanking me instead?" Gray sighed and stared at Ultear. He suddenly smirked. "W-What is that? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Heh~ Don't tell me you were jealous?"

"Pft! Bwahahaha!"

Gray curled his lips. He didn't expect that reaction from Ultear. "Ugh, whatever. Anyways, thank you. You did save my ass though. That woman is dangerously scary."

"Yeah, beware of that woman from now on, alright? I can't afford to waste any more coffee, ya know."

"Pft! Baka!" They both giggled and walked back to their designated working area.

…

"Ugh! I hate that bitch!"

"Calm down, my dear."

"Don't you know how much those shoes costs! Now they're ruined!"

The masseuse ran her fingers over the upset assistant's pursed lips. "Shhh~ Just relax and enjoy my hands, okay~" Kyouka sighed and obeyed. She didn't want the rest of her day ruined anymore. Seilah's expert touches were the perfect balance to soothe her tense body. Her fingers slowly crept lower to Kyouka's buttocks. Kyouka softly moaned when Seilah went further south in between her thighs. "You know, I noticed that the boss has been spending time with this girl on the beach, and she kinda resembles the girl that you just described to me."

"What's your point, Seilah?"

"Well, from what I observed and suspect, it seemed like that girl might like our boss a lot."

"Ohh~ You don't say~"

Seilah giggled. "Always having such naughty thoughts huh, my dear~"

Kyouka sat up and gestured Seilah to lock the door. "Let's put these naughty thoughts into action right now then~ It's been a while since we had fun~"

Seilah smirked and humbly obeyed…
