As the guard open the door of the limo for her, she thanked him and got in.
"It's been 20 minutes." He was reading something from his tablet and didn't looked at her when she got in.
"Yeah, I decided to wear high heels."
"Then let's hope there won't be any emergency tonight."
She chuckled.
"High heels are very dangerous, that's right. It is deadlier when you kick with them on."
He chuckled lightly too. Any expression of emotion from him has been surprised her from the beginning.
"So, tell me about this ball, or meeting, whatever."
He took his eyes off the screen to look at her. Then he realised that she's wearing a black, elegant dress. His gaze stopped for a swift second when it meet her slightly deep cleavage, then looked at her.
"Rocheforts are announcing their next leader tonight. We'll meet whoever it is. We'll need the financial support and the advertisement for the tournament. So, we should be friendly tonight."
"Making friends, it's not my other profession unfortunately. Making rich, arrogant friends will be even more challenging. I'll try to be less honest tonight then."
The ambience of the ball was very formal, elegant and boring.
God I wish I was kicking some bastards on the street right now.
"You should start to act less honest and look like you're enjoying these."
"Acting is not one of my skills either. But I'll try. If I can't succeed, you can find me by the drinks over there."
He chuckled.
"Unfortunately, not possible. My bodyguard should be by my side since I might not survive this night."
The two introverts were suffering the crowd in front of them already.
The night passed with meeting new people and talking about businesses.
Then there was something going on in the crowd. It was probably Mr. Rochefort and people were trying to suck up to him.
When she was observing the crowd when Jin touched her arm lightly. She turned to him, he was directing her somewhere.
They walked until he stopped in front of a young, blonde girl who looks very wealthy and sassy.
He reached his hand out to shake hers.
Before he can introduce himself, the girl talked.
"My, my! It's Jin Kazama." She was reaching her hand for him to kiss it like a gentleman. Instead he shook it.
"Nice to meet you. And this is Nina Williams. My working partner."
She observed her from toe to head. Nina just greeted with her head. The three started to have a conversation since everyone was busy with the father of this girl.
After some time, Mr. Rochefort started to give his speech.
It was a long, boring speech that Nina didn't bother to listen. They were by the drinks and taking sips from their champagnes.
"And, lastly, I introduce you the next leader of Rochefort Enterprise. My daughter, Emilie de Rochefort." Everyone started to applaud as the girl coming up into the stage.
This was that girl they spoke a while ago. Nina took a look at Jin. Jin turned his head to her also and winked at her before he turned his head back to the stage. So he had a plan all along.
After the girl finished her speech and got off the stage, everyone applauded and tried to get closer to congratulate her.
After a few minutes, Jin put his glass down.
"We're leaving after this, you can wait here."
She couldn't oppose. She kept enjoying her drink. Wondered what is his plan actually.
She felt getting slightly dizzy, so it was time to stop. Because she have to be alarmed all the time. She sadly put the glass down after one last sip.
She got bored of waiting. She was looking forward to go to bed and get a nice sleep this time.
At last she could see Kazama is approaching.
"Are you done? Let's go."
They got into limo and started to go back to HQ.
They were sitting on the ends of the couch. Jin was looking in his tablet again. He turned Nina and beckoned her to come closer.
Nina got closer to look at the screen.
"What do you think about these arenas?"
He showed her some photos and plans. It was for the tournament of course.
These arenas belong to Rochefort Enterprises. Now she got it.
They had a conversation about that and stopped talking.
After a few minutes, Jin realized that her breathing got deeper. He turned to see that she fell asleep. It was an awkward situation. What should he do? She was in a disturbing position, would probably get a neck pain after this. Should he wake her or place her in a better sleeping position. It would be more awkward if he wake her. So he decided to let her lie in the couch and sit the other couch in front of him.
He got up and to lay her, he reached out to support her neck. When his hand got closer, she immediately woke up. Pulled the hand with her one hand and the other hand went to her inner thigh to grab something.
He realised that she put a gun or a knife there. When she realised that he was her boss, again, he said
"You are determined to kill whoever wakes you up, I guess?"
She pulled her hand back and tried to come to her senses. It was the second time today and it was fucking embarassing.
"I'm sorry. A hand approaching to my neck while I am sleeping is hard to see as non alarming."
He sat down again.
"You couldn't get proper sleep?"
She looked at him if he's doing sarcasm. He didn't show any emotion like everytime.
So she didn't say anything.
"I told you to not get provoked easily. I think you agree that it is a weakness."
She remained silent till they arrive. When she went back to her room, she was embarrassed, angry and sleepy. The latter was the strongest so she fell asleep in minutes.
