Chapter 5

No one's POV

"YOU?!" exclaimed Misaki, anger evident in her voice.

Ren tilted his head a little and blinked twice, looking at Misaki. "Hello, Miss… Do I know you…?" he asked, staring at her then turn towards Kai who sighed and stood up.

"How did you know I'm here!" exclaimed Misaki, pointing her index finger at Ren. "I told you I'm not interested and rejected you last night! Then why are you here?!" she added, glaring at him.

Kai's eyebrow twitched at her words, as it was him she was talking about. "Silence!" he ordered. Ren raised his eyebrows as if thinking something.

"I think… I have seen her somewhere…" said Ren, curling his fingers under his chin and looking upwards. He looked at Kai and asked, "Kai, am I missing something here?"

Kai could have face palmed if he was not a composed person. Misaki could have sweatdropped but she looked like she was going to strangle Ren.

"What do mean 'somewhere'? We met yesterday evening and I turned down your marriage proposal! I'm Tokura Misaki!" snapped Misaki.

"Ah… So, you are Misa-Q! I remember now. You… look different from yesterday…" said Ren, in realization and glanced at her clothes.

"It's MISAKI!" corrected Misaki, glaring at Ren who merely nodded and smirked at her.

"Anyway, did you start working for Kai…?" asked Ren, looking at Misaki then at Kai who nodded. "I wonder why a lady like you would work for a person who you rejected for marriage…?" he asked, wondering.

"What?! You own this place?!" asked Misaki, frowning. Kai merely watched their interaction, leaning on his desk, amused. "I thought he owns this place!" she added, pointing her index finger at Kai.

"He does" replied Ren. "I work for him. And… last night, I was not the person you were supposed to meet, Misa-Q" explained Ren. "Sorry for misunderstanding though…" he added and smiled at Misaki, oblivious to the situation.

"Well, this is the file, Kai. Gotta go, I'm a little busy. See ya Misa-Q" said Ren and kept the file on Kai's desk. He waved and left, oblivious to the dark aura around Misaki.

Kai smirked as he saw Misaki's face turn from frowning to confused one. Her eyebrows were knitted together as she processed Ren's words. Realization hit Misaki and her eyes widened as she finally understood what Ren had said mere second ago.

Misaki was in an inner turmoil. 'What?! T-That means… H-He's…' she thought as she stared at Kai. 'T-This is some kind of joke, right…? It can't be…'

"Y-You are…? I was…? It c-can't be… uhh…" stuttered Misaki, looking at Kai, bewildered due to the revelation.

She clutched her head with one hand and looked down at the floor while held Kai's desk with other hand for support, shocked. She suddenly looked up at Kai, angered.

"You were the one who I was supposed to meet last night?!" she asked, eyes darker than usual. "And you knew who I am from the start! Why didn't you tell me?!" she snapped again, accusing Kai. "And stop smirking!" she added, glaring at him.

Kai crossed his arms across his chest. "Yes and well… I did meet you last night but you were unconscious and no, I didn't know you from the start…" he answered her questions.

"Stop accusing me as if I'm a bad guy here, Tokura. You were the one who asked me for a favor and I did help you even though I was aware of your identity. You should be grateful" he shrugged.

Misaki clenched her fists. "Grateful to you? I'm not stupid, Kai. You made me your maid to get back at me, right? I can't believe this" she retorted, looking aside.

"Impressive, Tokura. You never cease to amuse me" said Kai and smirked, showing his teeth a little. "But the fact is… You are my maid so act like one" he stated, as a matter of fact. "And… your uncle called to apologize to me since you ran away from our so called meeting" he added.

"He did…? Why didn't you tell me! I wanted to talk to him!" said Misaki, her anger forgotten when she heard her 'Uncle' had called. "Wait… He knew the name of the man I was going to meet…? He is so gonna get it!" she exclaimed, glaring at nothing in particular.

"Of course. But I didn't knew you meet people without knowing their names though" said Kai, shaking his head and sighed.

Misaki's eyebrow twitched at his comment. "Shut up! I was angry they set me up without bothering to ask me! I-…" her speech was cut short by Kai.

"Right… We'll talk later at dinner. I'm busy right now" said Kai, dismissively, waving his hand at her. "I guess your break is over. Go back to work, Tokura. And don't forget to take those clothes to the laundry" he added, pointing at the arm chair.

Misaki glanced where he had discarded his previously worn white shirt and black vest that had got 'sprinkled' with dirty water due to the incident in his room earlier while Kai left through the door that leads to office building.

"I so hate you!" said Misaki but then glared at the door when she heard him reply back.

"The feeling is mutual, Tokura…"

Misaki pinched the bridge of her nose. She had an urge to throw a punch or a kick at his back but refrained from doing so. 'I need coffee…' she thought and walked to the arm chair where the said clothes were. 'He made a big mistake by making me a servant. He doesn't know me…'

Office building…

The women gasped when they saw Kai walking through the hall, his hands in his pockets, looking as emotionless as ever. His eyes flitted across the cabin and people while walking. The employees greeted him with smiles and he nodded in return. 'I so hate you…' echoed through his mind. 'What did I do that she said that…?' he thought and sighed.

"Hello, Kai-kun" greeted Aichi, slightly surprised. Kai nodded.

"Aichi, updates on work" said Kai, more like ordered.

"Yes, right away. You should have called me for that" said Aichi as they walked to his cabin which was not far away. "Ren told us about last night that… Are you alright?" he enquired, once they were reached.

Kai raised his eyebrow. "What exactly did he tell you?" he asked instead, slightly frowning. Aichi was about to answer when a voice interrupted them.

"Your failed marriage interview, of course!" exclaimed a cheerful voice to answer Kai's question, causing Kai and Aichi to turn towards the source. Kai sighed while Aichi smiled.

"Shut up, Miwa" said Kai, glancing at blonde who just pouted in return.

"Aww… No welcome hug for your best friend?" asked Miwa, grinning while Kai put his hand on his head in annoyance.

Aichi sweatdropped but greeted Miwa. "Hello, Miwa-kun! I'm glad you are back! Welcome!"

"Yes, yes. I know you guys missed me!" exclaimed Miwa, running his hand through his hair and smirked.

"Stop dreaming. And you were just away for four days on a business" muttered Kai, still holding his head but glanced at Miwa. His eyebrow twitched when Miwa spoke.

"Ahh… So, how does it feel to be rejected? Ren told me last night" said Miwa, ignoring Kai's comment.

Kai glared. "So he was talking to you last night… No wonder he couldn't receive my call… That blabbermouth!" he said to no one in particular causing the other two to sweatdrop at their boss.

"Let's go to the conference room to discuss. Aichi call the others there in ten minutes. Let's go, Miwa" said Kai as he took a file from Aichi who nodded, "Yes, Sir"

"What? But I just came from a long journey!" protested Miwa.

"Do I look like I care…?" came Kai's reply as he walked, followed by Miwa.

"Now I really like that woman who didn't fell for your so called 'Charms'… I wish I could meet her! We can be good friends" said Miwa, as they entered the conference room. Kai sent a glare at Miwa. "Wait… You didn't do anything to her, right…?" he asked in suspicion.

Kai just smirked, saying 'No one messes with me and gets away'. However, Miwa took it the wrong way. His eyes widened and pointed his index finger at Kai, shaking while kai looked at him questioningly.

"Y-You didn't, did you…? I can't believe you could do something l-like t-that to a woman who defies you! How cruel, Kai! I thought you respected women! You Abuser!" exclaimed Miwa, with a horrified look on his face.

Kai, finally understanding what Miwa said, was surprised himself at indication. "What?!" he snapped and bonked Miwa on the head. "Idiot! I respect women! Stop saying such things or you'll wake up in a hospital!" he added, threateningly.

Miwa backed up, his hands in a defensive stance in front of him. "C-Chilax, Kai! I was kidding… hehe" he said and rubbed his head to ease the pain. "But then knowing you, you should have done something" he muttered, narrowing his eyes in suspicion while Kai ignored his friend's blabbering and went to his seat.

"Ah… I see you are back, Miwa" greeted Ren as he entered and saw Miwa at the door way. Miwa greeted back with a grin.

"Hey, you know, I just met Misa-Q again. She was in Kai's office! She had suddenly started working for him. I'm so confused…" said Ren, scratching the back of his head. It seems he hadn't noticed Kai's presence yet…

"Ren" echoed a stern voice. Ren tensed and glanced at Kai who was sitting on his chair far away from them. "If you don't stop spreading rumors, you know what will happen" said Kai, staring at the open file in his hands but was not reading it, as his focus was Ren at the moment.

"Ah… You are here, Kai…" muttered Ren, smiling awkwardly as he was caught. He glared at Miwa and added quietly, "Why didn't you tell me he's here?"

"But isn't that the truth…?" asked Ren again, looking at Kai, who closed the file with a 'thud' indicating he was angry. Miwa laughed awkwardly and coughed as they both seated themselves.

"Ren-sama! You forgot this!" said Asaka, as she came inside and glanced at the men in the room. "Hello, Gentlemen. And welcome back Miwa-kun" she added and smiled at them.

"Thanks, Asaka! I was so confused that I forgot to bring it. What can I do without you…" said Ren and smiled at her. Asaka blushed a little while the others shook their heads at Ren. Just then Aichi entered with some other people and their meeting started.

"So about Tatsunagi Corporation…"

Half hour later…

Kai entered his office and sighed, thinking that he felt like he had just dealt with a bunch of kids, who were his friends. He glanced around and found his office room empty. He frowned when he saw Misaki was not working at the couch but the files were stocked neatly. He glanced at the arm chair and saw his clothes were nowhere to be found. Pushing the nagging feeling in his mind about Misaki's absence, he exhaled deeply. 'I hope she hasn't gone missing or ran away from here…'

He rubbed his temple and made his way towards the small kitchen and heard some humming along the way. He paused at the door to see Misaki making coffee and humming softly, unaware of his presence. The slight uneasy feeling disappeared from his mind as he saw her.

"This much thinking got me so tired…" she muttered to herself and resumed humming as she poured some cream in her coffee. "Smells so good…"

Kai watched her and as soon as she put the spoon down, he made his way inside, startling her. He was going to make himself a cup of coffee but… he found it prepared already. Lucky…

He grabbed the cup in his hand and took a sip from it and sighed, savoring the taste in his mouth. "It's better than the previous one" he said and made his way out of the kitchen.

"It was not for you, Kai-sa-ma" said Misaki, with a hard voice. Kai gave her a sideway glance, saying "Oh" in an uninteresting way.

Kai wouldn't admit it but he was slightly bothered when he entered his office and couldn't see her around. It made him think, she had left after telling him that she hates him. "Tsk… Make another cup for yourself" he said.

"That was mine! It is my special coffee" said Misaki, angered at his casual tone.

"But I tasted it already… besides this is my regular cup, see there's also my name here. I can share if you want" said Kai and smirked at her surprised face.

"What! That is your cup! No thanks" said Misaki and turned to make another cup for herself. "Wait, Kai… sama. You already drank coffee an hour before. You should not drink that much. How many cups you drink in a day anyway?" asked Misaki as she followed him, without making a cup for herself.

Kai faced her raising his eyebrows. "Concerned for the person you hate, Tokura? I'm touched" said Kai, sarcasm dripping from his voice. "Normally, four. May be six cups if there is too much work" he answered.

Misaki rolled her eyes. "You don't think much of your health, don't you?" she asked. 'Isn't he concerned about his family…? If something happens to him, his family will have to cope' she thought, staring at him.

Kai read her face and found it was unreadable at the moment. "It's not like I am going to die" he said, dismissively.

"Don't talk about dying so casually!" exclaimed Misaki, a little loudly, surprised herself to blurt out words like that.

Kai's eyes widened slightly as he stared at her surprised face. He was surprised at her tone and noticed her eyes were unfocused as she stared at his face. It was like she was looking through him.

A few seconds passed with an awkward silence. Kai stared at Misaki, surprised while Misaki took a long deep breath as if calming herself, staring at the floor. She blinked and looked at Kai.

"Uhh… I apologize for sudden outburst, Kai-sama" said Misaki, quietly and sighed. "I've completed the tasks. Is there anything else you want help with…?" she asked, in her usual voice.

Kai blinked as she spoke and was again surprised as she apologized. "Tokura, go sit on the couch" he said and walked past her. Misaki looked at him quizzically but shrugged and proceeded to the couch.

"Here" said Kai as he handed her a cup of coffee which he made. He had his cup in his other hand and took a sip from it, looking aside, while extending another cup towards her.

Misaki opened her eyes and stared at him, surprised when she saw the cup with steaming coffee in his hand. "Wha-…? You made it for-…?" she asked but Kai interrupted.

"Just take it. I'm not going to do this again" he said, still looking aside.

Misaki took the cup from him and looked down at the floor, her hair covered her face. Kai glanced at her when she muttered a "Thank you" and saw a ghost of smile on her lips obstructed by her hair. He dismissed it as if he had been hallucinating.

'Why am I doing this again…?' thought Kai as he returned to his desk. He shook his head. Women, besides Rukino-san, had never dared to stop or lecture him on his habits or health. Well… they were too busy admiring him. 'I was just surprised at her sudden outburst' he thought, dismissing… or rather, ignoring the other thought that he had actually felt good by 'concerned for health' lecture.
