GIVE ME A BREAK
Chapter 8: Mentor
"There are people who wanted to see the two of you"
Fabien took out an ID card from his chest pocket and swiped it in an ID scanner underneath his desk.
The wall behind his desk opened and revealed an elevator.
He swiped it again. They heard a beep as the red light in the scanner turned green, grating access as the elevator door opens for them.
"Oh great another elevator ride" Akane complained with sarcasm as they enter the elevator.
Fabien smiled. He pressed a code on the elevator and it closes its doors as it goes down to its destination.
"I missed riding this elevator" Mitsuki leaned back on the wooden interior wall of the elevator and felt the coldness of the golden railings. "Makes you feel like you're still working here like the old days"
"Wait until you meet your old companions dear" Their old mentor said with a girly wink.
"Fabien Leon" Akane said. "Known as the world's most famous fashion designer in the whole world" She leans back with a smirk on her face. "And France's most dangerous mafia leader that humanity has ever known"
He stiffened. "Angelique, please don't kid around my lovely"
"But I'm not" She looks at his back. "I'm just simply saying the truth" She looks at Mitsuki.
"That ruthless and merciless me is gone" He felt a tear is about to fall down from his eye.
"It's alright Fabien" Mitsuki put her arm around his slim yet muscular arms. "Akane didn't really mean to make you remember the pass" She gave Akane a say-sorry-or-else face. "Isn't that right Akane?"
She laughed inside her head. "I'm sorry Fabien"
The elevator stopped and its golden doors opened.
Akane placed her arm around her old mentor's free arm as they went out of the elevator and entered a dim lighted hallway.
Dark figures appeared as they pass by a turn in the hallway, men in black suits with an assault rifle ready to shoot at them.
They stopped in front of a red leathered double door with two armed security guards manning the door.
"Welcome back sir" They two armored men held the golden handles and pulled open for them.
"Welcome back Angelique and Mitsuki" They greeted the girls whose arms are wrapped around their boss'.
"It's been a while John and Paul" Akane — err I mean Angelique smirked as they passes by them and entered the room.
They entered a conference where it was filled men in black suits and unarmed.
"Gentlemen" Fabien said as the two girls took of their arms from his. "Our two great members has come back to us"
The men in black suits applauded and grinned deviously as they look at them.
"Angelique" A man in his early twenties stood up from his seat. "I've missed you my dear"
He walked towards her with open arm but Angelique grabbed his arm and twisted it at his back, flattening his face on the cold wooded table.
They all laughed except for her.
"You never changed my dear" He tried to struggle but easily gave in.
"You as well Andre" She let go of him and pushed him back to his seat.
"The cold hearted Angelique has finally come back to us" An old man chuckled.
Angelique looked at him with a softer gaze. "Nice to see you also Charles"
The old man smiled and bowed his head.
"Hey don't forget about me!" Mitsuki exclaimed as their attention turned to her.
"Of course" Another man in early twenties with red hair chuckled. "How could we forget our boss' little poodle"
They all laughed in the room as Mitsuki's cheeks turns red of embarrassment.
"Now, now settle down everyone" He gestured his girly hands as they sat down and hush themselves. "I brought Mitsuki and Angelique back here to help us take care of our problem about the spy"
He took out a small remote and opened a holographic image above the center of the table.
"I have received word that the spy was a member of our rivals" He pressed a button and showed a picture of a blonde woman with a piercing look on her face. "This was one of the spies that planned to take us down"
"Bernadette Roux" Angelique said. "Also known as a world class martial artist who got a record of fifty silver medals, thirty-five bronze and no gold. She killed one of her opponents during one international competition few years ago, causing her to be disqualified and banned from the competitions"
Mitsuki continued. "She was hired by Émile Moreau after that and she became his personal assassinator in his mafia, she is also an expert in making poison and smoke bombs out of any common household materials"
"That's why we're lucky to have them back" Fabien giggled as he gives the both of them a kiss on the forehead.
"How do you even know her?" Andre asked.
"She was a client of mine before the whole killing thing" Mitsuki said with a proud smile.
"She's actually weak with technology" Angelique stated, feeling proud of her self. "She doesn't know how to gather information with her gadgets so it seems like she isn't alone in her mission to take us down"
"How do you suggest we track her down?" Charles asked. "She seems like she is good in hiding as well"
"We got it handled Charles" Mitsuki giggled. "Don't under estimate the only girls here in the mafia"
"How are we tracking that Bernadette?"
Mitsuki pouted as she texts her boyfriend, Shiki, that she arrived in Paris already.
"Why ask me? You're the one who placed a tracking device on the girl's skin years ago" Angelique said as she carries her stuff inside her room.
"Oh yeah" Mitsuki hit her head lightly because of her stupidity. "I forgot about that"
She took her laptop out and looked for Bernadette Roux in the list of people who she placed a tracking device on, namely her list of clients.
"How did you know that I placed a tracking device on people?"
Angelique scoffed. "Because you put one on me when I first asked you to make my prom dress"
Mitsuki's face flushed and turned back to her list.
"Found it!" She said proudly as she locates her area.
She noticed that the dot that represented her was very close to the dot that represented them.
"Seems like we're neighbors with the spy for a while" Angelique said as she peers from the side.
Mitsuki felt like she was about to have a mini heart attack because of Angelique popping out from no where.
"Dude give me some space" She pushes her friend from breathing down her neck.
The brown hair girl laughed. "Sorry I didn't mean to kill your space there"
"Whatever!" She placed her laptop on her side and went back to her phone. "So what's the plan?"
"We gather information tonight" Angelique grinned as she goes to the balcony and analyzed the gap from her balcony to the ones next door.
"How about checking out Fabien's collection?" She turned her heel back inside. "I know you're already excited for the fashion show tomorrow"
Mitsuki didn't say anything. She just threw her phone on the sofa and ran for the bathroom.
"Same as always"
While her friend was in the shower, she took out her security device from her suitcase and placed it around their room in case they might be busted.
After she has finished placing her devices she went out of their suit and walked around the big hallways of the fiftieth floor of the most exclusive hotel and resort in France.
"You're such a little naughty girl" A man said as she heard it from the other hallway.
She peered to know what was going on. She saw Bernadette Roux making out with a man in front of a suite not so far from hers.
"Why don't we go inside now my diamond" The man said as he starts unbuttoning her top.
She turned the door knob and pulled the man inside as she slams the door shut.
Room
5098
Angelique remembered the numbers on the door and ran back to her room with a smirk.
"Hey you're back" Mitsuki was busy fixing herself as she hears the door shut. "Where were you?"
"Just walked around" She went to the bathroom door and turned the knob. "And found out what room was she staying in"
"How about this one my little wasabi?"
Fabien showed her a glittery pink princess dress.
She looked at it with disgust. "Fabien" She tried to say it as kindly as she can. "I hate it"
The designer threw the dress in the air. "I'm sorry for that my little wasabi" He turned to his employees and yelled. "Get me my best designs for my wasabi!"
"What's the theme of this whole fashion show anyway?" Angelique asked her fellow model standing right next to her.
He cleared his throat and tried not to stutter. "It's Sir Fabien's summer and winter collection"
She suddenly wondered why he presented her a ball gown not a summer outfit or a winter outfit.
"I'm Gaston by the way" He extended his arm for a shake.
She took it, they shake. "Angelique Serge"
"You seem to be favored by Sir Fabien" He said as he watches his boss going crazy at the employees.
She giggles. "You can say that"
"Maybe after this you want to grab some coffee with me in the café just a few blocks away" His eyes twinkled as his cheeks turned pink.
"You seem like a nice boy" Angelique looked at him from head to toe. "Alright I accept your invitation"
"Great!" He clapped his hands together. "I'll see you later mademoiselle" He kissed her hand and ran to his fellow male model.
"I saw that"
Mitsuki had a grin on her face with a clip board on her hand.
"Grow up Mitsuki" She turned and noticed that Fabien was standing right next to her friend. "You saw that also?"
He nodded. "How long will it take the boy to get his heart broken?"
Mitsuki tapped an index finger on her chin. "I put my money on two hours"
"I put mine on one and a half hours"
"Whatever you guys" She passes by them and looks at the dresses on racks.
"Fabien! I want this one"
She took out a blue off-shoulder lotus lace blouse with a white bow around its waist. The three-fourth sleeves and tip of its skirt had ruffles on it.
Mitsuki said in disgust. "Blue?"
"Blue really fits you beautifully my little wasabi" The designer went to her and hugged her with a tight squeeze. "Now go on and try the dress on while I find you a winter outfit"
He turned to his assistant. "Why the disgusted face my poodle" He cupped her cheeks.
"I don't like seeing her in blue" Mitsuki said bitterly.
He gasped dramatically. "Why so my lovely? She looks beautiful in blue"
She shook her head, she remembered that man that she and her best friend hated. "Reminds me of a boy that made my life and her life miserable?"
He arcs a perfect brown. "Really? Tell me more of this boy"
They took a seat. "Well Angelique has been working for him for a very long time and she found out that he was only using her"
"Oh mon dieu! How dare he!"
"I told Angelique to quit already but she insisted to stay because of her dead father's request from her" She stiffened as she remembered how Akane told her how her father died when she was only four years old.
Fabien had a sad expression. "I'm sadden to hear that my little wasabi has suffered so much for her papa"
"Fabien! Mitsuki!"
Angelique opened the curtains as she walks down the runway with her picture perfect poses and walks.
"Tu es magnifique!" He exclaimed.
"I'm impressed" She watches her friend enjoy the runway and the blue dress she was wearing.
Angelique checked her phone and notice she already has a hundred miss calls from Munakata.
"Seems like he's not giving up to contact me" She felt warm inside as she looks at her phone.
Ring!
Her phone rang and it was still Munakata calling. This time she didn't ignore it and finally answered his call.
"Hello?"
"Akane!" He exclaimed.
"Sorry that I didn't get to answer your calls" She said as she sits down on a couch in her mentor's office.
"It's alright as long as you got to answer this one. You know how worried I was for not answering being able to contact you" He exhaled a stress-filled air.
"So how's the place? Are you guys doing alright there?" She took Fabien's sketchpad and looked through his designs.
He sighed. "Not so well" He said with disappointment. "We couldn't get anything new and we got a lot of cases stacked up here in the office"
She bit her lip, she feel pity for them and for leaving them with her work. "I'll try to come back as soon as I can"
"Its fine" She can feel his smile. "Just enjoy while you're still there in Paris, I think you need it after working too much here in SCEPTER4"
She laughs. "I thought I was the one who take too much breaks?"
He caught her joke. "That's why I give you overtime"
They both laughed.
"Miss Angelique?"
She heard a knock on the door. She shifted her eyes from her mentor's sketches to the door; it was her fellow model Gaston.
"Excuse me Miss Angelique but are you ready to go?" He enters completely in his boss' office.
"Just give me a minute"
He nodded and waited patiently outside.
"Gaston? Who is that?" Reisi asked he seems getting suspicious already.
"Just a fellow model asking me to grab some coffee with him" She ignored his suspicion.
He said furiously. "Is that what you do in Paris? Get a boy and get coffee with him?"
"Wait no! I came here for the business trip not the boys" She can feel his jealousy. "Wait a minute… Are you jealous?"
His face flushed. "Of course not! Why would I?"
She grinned. "Oh you really are jealous" She laughs mockingly. "Well them Captain Jealous I'll be sailing away with a handsome French man now"
"Hey! Wai—"
She hangs up.
"I'm sorry for that Gaston" She bowed her head as she closes the door behind her as it locks itself.
"It's alright!" He smiled at her and held out his arm. "So would you like to enjoy your stay in Paris with me and a cup of coffee?"
She giggles and wrapped her arm around his. "Oui, monsieur"
