The next morning, the guys did nothing to hide their discomfort for the 2 women. Ainsley ate whatever she wanted from room service and Tien played cards with Baba, Ota, Mamoru, and Eisuke even though she kept losing. "Haha, Tien, you're really bad at this," Ota says.
"Shut up. I don't gamble. I don't normally do that sh**," Tien responses.
"Then what do you call this?" Baba asks.
"Using money that people SO generously gave me to place certain bets which depends on luck. Luck that I certainly do not have."
"I probably shouldn't have invited her and gave her so many," Baba muttered while Ota mutters, "There goes my money." Ainsley same into the room with a plate of waffles with whip cream on top and one waffle in her mouth. She looked at Tien's hand.
"Gurl, move your a**. Let the master take over," Ainsley said after eating that one waffle in her mouth. After Ainsley sat down, Eisuke said, "You have to get going now or you'll be late. We can't have that now."
"B****, you don't tell me s***," Ainsley responses while Tien checked her watch and ran out.
"You dirty h**!" Ainsley shouted at her. Then she stuffed the cards in her pocket and shouted, "We'll finish this later!" to them as she ran out. When they got to the meeting room to get their agenda, everyone looked a bit shocked to see them, especially Erika.
"W-why are you still here?!" Erika shouts.
"Why?" the twins follow.
"B****, it's the morning and my tolerance is running dangerously low," Ainsley responses. Before Erika could do something to annoy Ainsley, Kenzaki came. "Ok people! So today Sen is with Chihura, Ainsley with Tien..." Ainsley and Tien tuned out the rest and gave each other that look. So when they cleaned the rooms, Ainsley went through the files on her phone, Tien found last night and Tien cleaned out the assigned rooms. In the afternoon, the workers had to bow good bye to the IVC guests but Ainsley pretended that her stomach 'hurt' and got out of it.
~~~~Tien's PoV~~~~~~~
D***, I know Ainsley's better at getting evidence and inside info, but I have this bad feeling. I'm thinking too much. She's normally lucky and I've always gotten nervous. Then a certain color of red that would normally be on a traditional Vietnamese dress caught my eye. I turned my head to see that Soryu was with a pretty woman in a cheongsam.
"Wow, she's pretty," Ota says behind me. Baba adds," Has our Soryu grown up?" H-he has a girlfriend?! Man, I'm so alone.
"Haha Soryu, you're so funny! Do you want to go out for dinner sometime?" the woman asks. D***, this chick got guts asking a mobster out. Does she even know that he's a mobster?
Soryu responds with, "sure." Well doesn't she have him wrapped around her little finger?
I'm pretty sure I had my poker face on but Baba whispered to me, "Jealous, milady?" I stomped on his foot making tears form in his eyes. I put a smile on my face and responds, "Now why would I be jealous of another girl? I'm just annoyed at how she got him wrapped around her finger." I heard Ota chuckle behind and asked Baba, "Isn't she a tsundere?"
I glare at him. A tsundere was a type of anime character that is mean at first especially to new people but then would grow closer to some people and be kinder. Unless, it's her crush or about her crush. They wouldn't always be kinder when speaking but they do little kind works. I was about to retort something but Soryu came over and said, "What are you guys doing here?"
"Holy sh-! Soryu! Hi!" I quickly corrected myself.
"Nothing much," Ota says.
"Poking fun at your little lady," Baba says.
"Hey, Soryu, are these your friends? And who is your little lady?" the woman asks. So I have no say in this?
"They also live in the penthouse and I don't have a little lady. She's just a maid that works in the penthouse," Soryu says and points to us. Ainsley, you better hurry up. I'm close to murdering someone.
Then, the woman took my hands in hers, smiled, and says, "Hi! My name's Mei Ling! I hope we can be friends!" Wow, she's preppy. I did not expect this. Forcing a smile on my face, I respond, "Nice to meet you. My name is Tien."
"She's a mafia princess. The daughter of Simon Lee of the Bell Crickets. Screw anything up with this girl and you're dead," Soryu whispers in my ear.
"I'm not the one you should worry about," I reply without hesitation.
Soryu had a scowl for a second before breaking into a smile for dear Mei Ling. Then we all, including Baba and Ota, went up to the penthouse. I could feel Erika's glare at my back and I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. It's either that or Soryu's threat. Eisuke was sitting on the couch expecting us and Mamoru was puffing away on his cigarette. Soryu then, introduced all of us properly.
"Now, where is that friend of yours?" Soryu asks me.
"Now, this is a feeling, but knowing Ainsley, everyone should be ready to run. Or something like that. Just be ready to move quickly," I say. Eisuke gets up and comes right next to me and says. "And why is that?" Next you could hear a, "Nanananananananana, BATMAN!" and see smoke. Once the smoke cleared up, you could see Ainsley on the couch with a stack of books, her iphone playing music, and a cart full of food. She was wearing a batman shirt and boxers (cuz you know, why not).
"You called dear humans?"
