Now it's time for Kazuya, Jun and Bruce
OOC warning
CHAPTER 10
Japan, Tokyo…
G Corporation Headquarters…
Kazuya's office…
Kazuya Mishima was a man, who had business and power above everything else in the world he was living in. A world he wished to dominate one day. Actually, he was working on that the exact time. But maybe there was something or someone or a feeling that he, actually, cherished more than just power and business. Sometimes, he was close enough to realize it…well, sometimes not…He needed help and he, unfortunately, for him…had it…
A sigh left the tired man's lips when he finished reading the summary of a new deal he was ready to sign with another company. Like hell he was going to be business partners with them. This thing was straight to the recycle bin. What kind of a clueless CEO did this company have? Even his son, Jin, could handle things better…
He stretched his back and stood up. It was still early afternoon but he wasn't confident that he would manage to make it till the time they were going home. Hmm…There was only one thing, which could help him. Right!
"I'll go get a drink so check this mail for me, ok?" he said to a woman and walked to the bar, he had inside his office…
She smiled cheerfully…She wanted more than anything for him to trust her in his business. Mutual trust…and love…are these things that keep a couple bonded and in love with each other… "Uh…Sure!" she said and grabbed the letters with her hands placing them on her lap. She, then, noticed him as he started pouring himself a drink… "Get me one of this, too."
The man opposite her raised an eyebrow. He wasn't crazy as to let her have the drink he was having. He would sign his death sentence, if he did…Only, Kazuya knew what the ingredients had as an effect. Probably something that wasn't beneficial to him…
"Say what? Some beer and you're good."
The black haired woman pouted and frowned childishly at him… "Beer? I would find it more romantic of us sharing some red wine."
He shook his head and walked back to her placing the drink right in front of her… "Later with the romance…Now we have business…And…" before he was ready to continue, she interrupted him…
"But…"
"And you agreed to help." Once again, he sat back on his seat behind his office… "You were the one, who pushed Anna to resign, anyway. Take some responsibility."
Her lip turned downwards and started checking out the letters… "Mine…Mine…Mine… resignation, resignation, resignation …another five of them…" for a moment she stopped counting and looked at the man questioningly…
"Kazuya, what are you doing to your employees? They all want to resign."
The last thing he wanted to occupy himself with was some random resignations. He had countless employees, so how should he know what was the problem? "Just put a sign and we'll give them back."
For a moment, she gave him a nod but then, shook her head. No, there was a problem here…At least, she was the one, who thought of it as one… "That's not the point! You have to be good and kind with them." A smile on her face made him look confused or even better…Threatened towards her… "Hehe…Leave it to me. I'll take care of this." She, finally, said…
Kazuya sipped the rest of his drink and touched his forehead… "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"
Her eyes lit up at what he said. She placed her hands on her chest and closed tightly her eyes. The man sighed desperately when he realized what she was trying to do… "Bad feeling? I don't sense anything."
"Drop it, Jun." he then shrugged his shoulders… "And fine…Do whatever you want. Just don't mess up my business."
Jun stood up in an instant and brought the letters to her chest… "Relax…Leave it to the woman you will love forever and ever." She raised an eyebrow when she saw his expression… "Why are you staring at me like that?"
He decided that it would be a better idea to not comment on what she just said… "No particular reason…" for a moment he looked at his empty glass but then back to Jun, who was looking confused at him… "Say…Isn't it time for you to go and see your son?"
The woman flinched when she heard him referring to their son. In the same time, though, she realized the fact that he called him only "her son"…Tsk…Like he didn't do anything… "He's your son, as well…" she crossed her arms… "Heh…You did your best, if you remember in the part of "your job"…And, anyway, Kazuya…Our son is the solid proof of our love."
Kazuya rolled his eyes and buried his face inside his hands… "You're wrong…Our son is the solid proof of the consequences you're gonna face when you're not using a condom…Ugh…Damned hormones!"
Hearing these words coming from him, she dropped the letters and started crying without bothering to wipe her tears… "How can you say that, Kazuya? I thought you loved me."
And there she goes again. This woman was always overreacting…He sighed and stood up. He walked behind her and touched her shoulders… "Don't be so overdramatic…Ok? These two have nothing to do with each other."
Suddenly, the tears from Jun's face disappeared. As expected, thought Kazuya…The woman turned to face him and cupped with her hands his face… "So, you love me? Is that it?" a smile crossed her face when his cheeks started burning up. Kazuya was difficult with his words but easy with his face… "Oh you do! You're blushing."
Kazuya removed gently her hands away from his face…Why was she so happy? "Just do what I asked you to do." He said and kneeled down to gather the letters for her. When he was ready to give them to her, he was surprised when she hugged him tightly…
"She's gonna kill me! I'm getting chocked. Was she always that strong?" He thought trying to break free from her embrace… "Release me…Jun…I c-can't…b-breathe."
When, Jun realized that she was, indeed, hugging him very tight, she released him and apologized with a smile. Before walking away, she remembered something she wanted to tell him… "Oh…And about what you said before…Umm…If I go and visit Jin…Well, he definitely won't want for us to be together…" Kazuya nodded…Yeah, that was true… "Pretty oxymoron, if you ask me." She added…
The man started walking back to his office and mumbled… "I didn't ask" Thankfully, Jun didn't hear him…
"Every normal child would want for his parents to be together…So…Why?" she sighed sadly in the thought of being apart from Kazuya…
"There's nothing oxymoron in what you said and I can prove it." He said gaining her attention… "To begin with, our son is not a child, he's a full grown up jerk."
"KAZUYA! Stop insulting our offspring." She shouted at him angrily. He didn't seem fazed by that…
"Next…Our son is not normal…And that's it." He added and relaxed his back on the chair…
Jun walked closer to him and placed her hands angrily on the desk… "Same goes for you. You're the definition of abnormality."
The only thing the man did was to smirk… "I never denied this sexy side of mines. If I was a common man, you wouldn't follow me around like you do now."
Jun's eyes widened… "So…So? You think I'm bothering you?"
He bit his lip and cursed under his breath… "Not this again…Ugh…I never said that."
She shook her head negatively and looked at the floor… "No, no…You think I'm bothering you."
"That's not true…My dear…Jun…What should I say now? I'm sorry, ok? Ugh…I know that what I wanted to say came out differently…What I meant was that I wouldn't be able to make you notice me."
Once again, her spirits were raised and she smiled brightly… "Uh…I see…Sorry for misunderstanding."
Kazuya nodded being relieved that she fell for it… "Yeah, yeah…Now go and do the paperwork Anna left behind. You said that you would until I find a replacement."
…
G Corporation Headquarters…
Outside Kazuya's office…
Jun Kazama closed calmly the door of Kazuya's office. She was so happy…That she was helping him as she could…Or that, he was letting her help him. It meant that he trusted her. That was all she wanted from him…His love and trust. She started walking the white corridor making her way to Anna's old office…
"Hehe…I'll show Kazuya of how many things I'm able to do and he will, soon, recognize my abilities…Aw…After that, I'll convince him to have a baby girl as I always wished for." She stopped for a moment as she was daydreaming holding her supposed daughter with Kazuya by her side…If only, that happens…But Jun was a very determent and tenacious person…This man should prepare himself… "I'm so excited! Ack!"
Suddenly, she fell on the floor resting on her butt. A tall man's shadow could be noticed from her. She raised slowly her head and saw a familiar man's worried expression. He was unsure if he hurt her unconsciously or not. He extended his hand to help her on feet and she took it with hers…
"You're here again, Jun?" said the man with a smile…
She bowed slightly making him feel uncomfortable… "Oh Bruce, hello!"
The man crossed his arms and asked her again… "So? Is it that boring without Kazuya at home?"
Jun thought about it for a second… "Well…A little of that, too…" she smiled this time… "But it makes us both happy to be always together."
Bruce was left speechless…Yeah, sure…He knew that the last thing his boss wanted was Jun around him twenty four hours a day. He remembered that Kazuya had his doubts about bringing her back but it was tiring for him to travel every week in Hawaii just to see her…
"Uh…Is that right?...Then, what are you doing in this place? Shouldn't you be with him?"
The Japanese woman pouted and looked down on the floor… "Tsk…Kazu gave me to do all the work Anna left behind."
The man raised an eyebrow in question. How come Jun was occupying herself with Anna's duties? The woman hated it whenever someone was messing with her business and stuff. She, once, started lecturing Kazuya himself because of that…
"But why? Anna's always punctual with her duties…Even if it doesn't seem so…I mean appearance like."
Anna Williams was always misunderstood because of her flirtatious nature and her way she was dressing or "carrying herself". She was one of the people, who you shouldn't judge by their cover…
"Didn't you know? She resigned."
His mouth was dropped. When did that happen and no one let him know? What was he going to do now? Whenever he messed up in something, he would ask from Anna to pass the bad news to their boss. Some reliable man…
Jun tilted her head noticing that he probably didn't know… "Seems like you didn't know."
Her voice brought him back to reality… "What? Why?" Suddenly, it hit him as he was having this woman in front of him… "Forget it…I bet I can guess the reason…Ugh…Poor Anna…"
She could tell that Bruce was somehow upset. "Why the overreaction?" At first, she didn't have an idea why…But then… "I get it now. Don't worry, Bruce." She said and touched his shoulder… "The company won't stay back, since I'm here. Have faith in me and let's do our best, alright?"
The man took the wise decision to not talk back or start a conversation with Jun… "O-Ok…Let's do this." He said and nodded. After that, she waved goodbye at him and continued her way to her destination…
"Then, I'm off!"
For some time, Bruce was staring at her. He remembered when he first met her…She was so strange for both him and Kazuya…However, Kazuya found her mysterious. Bruce found her…just weird…
…
G Corporation Headquarters…
Inside Kazuya's office…
"WHAT THE DAMNED HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! I've already paid for the red…I repeat RED colored snickers and you're sending me BLUE?! I hate blue! To hell with your apologies...Give me back my money or else send the right order…What?! How dare you suggest me of another color?…I only like RED…No, I hate the rainbow…Is that so? Give me back my money, then!...Oh! And something else…You just lost a very good costumer but no worries…Heh…You gained a very good enemy."
It was usual for Kazuya's orders to get mixed up with others…Reason…Unknown…However, this started happening more often from the time Jun started ordering things for herself in Kazuya's name…Could it be because of that?
The Japanese man threw his cellphone away in anger…Like father like son (see chapter 4)…
"Tsk…Stupid people…Can't do a thing right." He mumbled to himself…
A male voice was heard from outside his office that took his attention… "Can I come in?" asked Bruce Irvin knowing that he would be playing with fire, if he went inside without letting him know…
"Why do you ask?" he said and the man came in…
With steady steps Bruce walked towards Kazuya and took a seat opposite his desk… "I heard you shouting and as I guessed…" his lips curved upwards… "It was for the usual, right? Wrong order again?"
Kazuya gave him a nod and the man in front of him sighed… "Why don't you let Jun handle it?"
When he said that, Kazuya raised an eyebrow. What's with this guy? Maybe, he didn't know the woman personally but it's been some months that she spends all of her day here. He should have found out what kind of person she is…
"If I let Jun handle things for me, next day I'll be found in Yakushima picking flowers the two of us."
At first, Bruce placed a hand on his mouth as he pictured his boss picking flowers in the forest along with Jun… "You're overreacting." He said and shifted on his seat… "Jun's a smart and serious woman and if you tell her to do a fine job in something that's important to you, she'll do it right."
The black haired man decided to not continue this subject any further and, anyway, it was true that this woman being around him all day tired him a little. In the same time, it seemed like Bruce understood that Kazuya wasn't like this because of his messed up order…
"I have a feeling, though…That the last thing you care about is the wrong order…What happened?"
Kazuya sighed…He got caught… "You see…It's Jun…she…"
…
Unfortunately, Kazuya wasn't able to pour his heart out to a person other than Jun…
"Kazuya!" said Jun happily as she run inside the office…
Her voice frightened both of the two men. Why was she so happy all of a sudden? The man noticed that she was having something in her hands. Two letters. Tsk…He gave her the letters to take care of them, not bring them back to him…
"What are you doing here again? And knock before you open the door." He shouted at her…
"You're cruel!" she said with a trembling voice…
The man relaxed his back on the chair and placed his elbows on the chair's arms… "Why are you so excited all of a sudden?"
Jun didn't answer to his question and just showed the two letters in front of him… "Look what I've got here."
Even Bruce could tell that she was in high spirits. He crossed his arms and nodded to himself… "You really are happy, Jun."
Jun turned to look at him and smiled… "Aren't I?" she said and then gave him one of the letters… "You have one as well, Bruce. Here."
He raised an eyebrow. Why was a letter, which was directed to him, in the company and not his house? All of his mail was there. He shrugged his shoulder and just opened the letter after thanking her…The man was trying very hard to suppress his laugh. Such a kind invitation? Oh…And kindly addressed to him…
Kazuya raised an eyebrow while holding his own letter. Bruce's reaction made him hesitant, if he should read the letter or not, since Jun had already opened it… "What's so funny?" he asked him and the other man turned his gaze to him…
"Uh…You can find out yourself…Just open it."
He looked suspiciously at Bruce, who shrugged his shoulders, and then at Jun, who was smiling sweetly at him…Both of them were scary. Whatever…He unfolded the letter and started reading it. Bruce got worried when he noticed that his eyebrow was twitching. He glanced at Jun, who was the same as before. He didn't find it confusing based on the letter's content…
"What…the…hell…is that?" asked Kazuya with trembling hands…
Jun crossed her arms under her chest and tilted her head… "An invitation to a tournament. Can't you see? You really are getting old, Kazu."
Her mocking words made him shot a murderous glare at her, in which she flinched in return. Even Bruce got scared of this expression and stood up finding himself close to Jun…
"Shut up!" he said loudly and her eyes got teary…
Bruce touched her shoulders and looked angrily at his boss… "Kazuya…That was so harsh. Jun was just being enthusiastic because your son made the first move to approach you."
"Do you want to be yelled as well?" he, then, noticed that Bruce had still his hands on her shoulders… "And take your hands off her! And finally, my son made the first move in pissing me off…He's that kind of jerk!"
"Why are you saying that?" asked Jun making her hands in fists…
"You're asking? How dare you ask, Jun?" he stood up and placed angrily his hands on his office… "He's shameless. How dare he challenge me? That's my job!" he placed his hands on his head, this time… "But, ok, ok…Calm down, me…I won't disappoint him…If he wants a fight."
It was right now, that Bruce released Jun. He felt her shoulders trembling and eventually all of her body. A purple aura could be slightly seen from his place. Imagine what kind of things Kazuya was seeing…
"SLAP"
The only thing the woman did was to slap him. It seemed, though, that Kazuya expected much more and so did Bruce, since they seemed completely surprised that it all ended with a slap…or not. However, the slap was still some strong enough…
"Shut up, Kazuya! Enough of that bullshit."
A frown appeared above his eyes… "What's with you, Jun?"
"Sit down and listen!" she said in a demanding tone but, suddenly, turned her gaze towards Bruce, who was laughing. When he made eye contact with her, he stopped in an instant… "You, too, Bruce!" she ordered him and he obeyed…
"Yes, ma'am!" he said and sat back on his seat…
Three minutes have passed and the black haired woman managed to calm down a little. The same wasn't happening with the two men, who were still on alert. Jun glanced first at Bruce, who swallowed hard, and then rested her eyes at Kazuya's place. She crossed her arms determinately and said…
"You two are going to participate in this tournament and one of you to make sure that I'm getting an invitation myself."
"But you're considered dead, Jun." said Bruce as a matter of fact while scratching the back of his head…
The woman placed her hands on her waist and leaned closer to him… "I'm considered, right? Truth is I'm not. If you don't want to be in trouble with me, do as I said." When Jun said that, she let out a sigh and turned her back to walk outside the office. She stopped, however, when she remembered something… "And we're gonna go shopping as well. It's says that there's gonna be a party." She added this time referring solely to Kazuya…
"Why are you the one to challenge me now, Jun?" the man whined looking at her…
"Because I love you, my dear Kazu." Jun answered giving him a kind yet for a reason scary smile…
"She's scary, Kazuya…" Bruce mumbled while looking at her…
"You tell me…"
The Japanese woman bowed slightly making the other two look confused at each other…
"I'm participating alright?"
"He'll do it!" said Bruce in a loud voice pointing at the man opposite him, who bit his upper lip…
She gave him a nod… "I'm going back to my duties now. Good luck, Kazuya!"
…
When Kazuya noticed that she was some enough steps already away from them, he grabbed Bruce by the collar of his shirt…
"You scaredy-cat traitor!" he called him…
However, he was unaware of the fact that Jun actually heard him… "Don't worry, my love." She said and made her way back further inside the office…
"You're creepy…" he mumbled to himself and felt his forehead getting sweaty…
Jun walked beside him, placed her hand on his shoulder and moved her body closer to his face…
"But wasn't that what made you attracted to me? Admit it, Kazu. You love this side of me. Being yelled at…Ordered…These things excites you, right?"
Kazuya smirked when she raised her body… "You sure think of a lot of things, my dear. Are you that interested in what excites me and makes me happy that you go through the trouble in changing your character? I really appreciate that." He said and raised his head to look at her noticing her confused face expression. Jun blushed when he smiled at her and she looked away…
"Stop making fun of me!"
This time he took his hand with hers and kissed the back of it… "I'm being honest and to make you believe me, I'll participate and make sure I'll get an invitation for you, ok?"
All of a sudden, her eyes lit up. She sat on his lap and hugged him… "Really?! In the end, Kazu…You're always the best." After saying that she started giving him countless kisses on his cheeks…
The man shrugged his shoulders… "You don't need to speak the truth…I'm aware of it." He said leaving Bruce dumbfounded…
"T-That guy…And what's with the scene? …I guess, I have to excuse myself now."
Bruce stood up and walked outside the office…
"I want a girlfriend, too…" he thought for the last time…
Thanks for reading!
