(Kaiba's POV)
At le noir restaurant with the president of Dream team corp. closing the deal. (2nd day in France)
I had just closed the deal with my new alliance Dream Team Corp. We get up and shake hands.
"Mr. Kaiba we look forward to a wonderful alliance and friendship…good thing you hired a translator"
"We're always prepared at Kaiba Corp and we are looking forward to a long alliance with Dream Team" The president of Dream Team Corp leaves. I sit back down and have a last drink of whisky when I feel someone brushing their fingers on my shoulder. I turn around and roll my eyes. This trend was getting boring.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"My father has business here as well Kaiba honey. Don't think I'm stalking ya cuz I'm not this time"
"And what are you doing at this precise hotel?"
"My father is always here when he comes to France. It's his number one choice"
"really? Peachy…" she sits down and places here hand over mine. I quickly take my hand away and get up.
"Kaiba don't be hasty I just want to make peace with you"
"I don't have time for friendships…and if you're in need of company I suggest you look for a dog"
"oh speaking of dogs that reminds me I've heard things about your vet girlfriend Jade" I froze when she mentioned Jade. She got what she wanted. I sat back down and actually listened to what she had to say.
"And what exactly did you hear?"
"Duke has been seeing her"
"oh really?"
"Yeah he's sent her flowers, love letters and he even gave her a puppy"
"I don't wanna hear this!" I get up and leave but she catches up to me…now we were outside and she keeps nagging me.
"It's true or are you to chicken to call her and confront her?" I stop walking and turn around to look at her.
"That word is not in my vocabulary. I never back away from a confrontation!"
"Then call her!"
"Very well I will" I was heated at this moment and right now I could care less about my next actions. The hotel I was staying in was not too far, so we walked over there. For some reason I let this girl follow me to my room.
We walk in my room and she quickly gives me the phone. I snatch it from her and I dial.
Jade's POV
"Hello…"
"Hello Jade?"
"Seto honey I am so happy to hear you I thought you forgot about me" I was so happy to hear his voice
"Remember the flowers that were sent to you?" I wondered why he had asked me such an off question
"oh yeah what about them?"
"Did you consider that it was duke?"
"Why are you thinking about that in a time like this?"
"Just answer me"
"Why so you could yell at me over the phone?"
"Stop covering the answer" why was he still thinking about that…I thought we had this issue settled.
"No"
"Where are you?"
"At my house" suddenly my dog Skippy barks.
"What was that"
"a dog of course"
"I thought you didn't have a dog"
"I do I would've told you but it would've all lead to this"
"and who gave it to you" if I told him Duke he was for sure to explode on me and I didn't want that.
"Why are you quite? Answer me I don't have all day"
"my mother" he hangs up on me.
I could not believe we just had a fight. And it was all something we suppose ably settled. Something was wrong here obviously. Sure, I must admit I should have told Seto about Skip from the start but how could I if he would always fume at just mentioning Duke's name.
