Did I get provoked?
No, I did not, right?
She didn't think that she was provoked. She only loved doing what she's been told she cannot.
Is it a weakness? Does he think that it's a weakness?
She was in the training room, exercising like every time she did when she needs thinking by herself.
It was late in night and she needed to get up early in the morning but she had to do this since she wouldn't be able to sleep because of thinking.
Punching and kicking things always helped her easing her thoughts.
"You are not allowed to be late to scheduling in the morning."
It was Kazama.
"I see you are still up, too."
"Unlike you, I am allowed to be late."
She raised a brow.
"Also, I am always up at this hour. But you're not and we will need bright brains tomorrow morning. Preferably not sleepy." he added.
"Don't worry, I will be on time. And very bright." She was still punching the sandbag.
"I'm not sure, but if you say so..."
He passed her and started to workout also.
She was very annoyed. He's not sure... We'll see then.
She keep working out. And kept an eye on him. He was working out nonstop. She wondered how long he can do it. Because she wasn't gonna leave before he does. And of course will be on time. There's been no time she was late ever for anything.
It's been hours and she grew tired. But he didn't seem like he's gonna stop.
But she needed to show him that she can do what he doesn't think she can. And as long as she succeeds, it's not a weakness.
It grew really, really late when he stopped working out. He was all sweaty and out of breath and his muscles were more defined now. Pleasant view, she thought.
"See you in the morning, Williams."
She waited until he got out of her sight. Then she went ahead to her bed immediately. She was exhausted and needed sleep. After she set the alarm, she fell asleep in seconds.
She woke up only couple hours later. She needed the sleep very badly but she was determined to show that she can do it. She got ready swiftly and went to the meeting room.
She was first to be there. She felt pretty good and confident.
She sat there, put her sassiest face on and started to wait the others.
But after fifteen minutes of waiting, there was confusion. Where the hell were everyone?
After another fifteen minutes, she got really angry. She decided to text Eddy.
'Where are you, Gordo?'
After waiting for a very very long five minutes, he texted back.
'Umm, just woke up, getting ready. Why?'
'You are late??'
'Wym? We still have nearly twenty minutes.'
'Noo, we meant to start 40 minutes ago.'
'Are you sure? Is Kazama there?'
'No, he is late too.'
'Nina, did you get the message yesterday?'
What message? The phone ringed again.
'Forwarded message: The meeting tomorrow, will be postponed to 9 a.m. Jin K.'
REALLY?
NO, I DID NOT GET THE MESSAGE!!
She was really angry now. She hardly woke up and came here an hour earlier for nothing?
Her brain was crying for just a little more sleep and it was too late now, only fifteen minutes was left.
She furiously got up and leave the room for a cup of coffee.
She got the coffee and turned back to the meeting room. And she found Jin sitting.
"Morning, you are early Williams, I'm impressed. There is still ten minutes."
She squinted her eyes.
"I am here for an hour."
"Why?" he was also sipping his coffee while lookin at his laptop.
"Because I haven't been informed about the change of the time of the meeting."
She sat the right side of the table.
"I didn't text you?" He asked but she can tell he knew the answer already.
"Oh, right. I was at the gym when I postponed. I planned to tell you there before leaving but I forgot. My mistake."
She let an angry breath out of her nose.
Then the door has opened and Eddy came in.
"Perfect, everyone is early today. Let's start."
"So, that's all for now. Gordo, be sure to complete your part by tomorrow morning. And I have a meeting in the evening. Williams, you'll come with me. You all can leave now."
She took her files and left the room. She was still angry. Now she has things to do also.
She went to her room and started working on those. After a long day of working, she felt her eyelids were getting heavy.
She just wanted to rest her eyes for a minute when the day started to get paler.
When she felt a move near her head she swiftly got up, hold and pulled the hand reaching her when she pulled her knife.
Then she could see the face belongs to her boss. There was no light in the room, only the lights coming in from the window. She must've rest her eyes longer than a minute.
"We are late Williams and you don't answer your phone." said Jin.
Still confused, she could manage to take her hand off of his.
"Sorry. Yeah, I was scheduling. The files."
"Hhhm. I saw." he said without any expression.
Ughhh, what a fucking bad day!
"I am ready, we can leave any minute."
His gaze was so strong, she didn't want to look him in the eyes.
He hold her chin to turn her head slightly to right.
"You got sleeping marks. And the meeting is actually a ball. I mean you should change."
"A ball?" She was realising, he was in a suit right now, looking nice and elegant.
"We'll be meeting the future head of the Rochefort Enterprises."
"I'll be ready in thirty minutes." she proceeded to leave.
"Fifteen."
She turned back. She was showing no emotions also.
She nodded and left.
