10 Chapter 10

"You'd give me a manager?"

"Why wouldn't I? From now on your needs are my needs." He smiled dashingly as if it obvious as day.

'Why wouldn't he?'

Because nothing was free. They may have a deal with one another. But said deal was already sealed. In no way shape or form should anyone of them go beyond what they signed up for. It was only right Kei Yun questioned his motives.

"I told you already. I'm interested in you. I'd like to see just how far you'll fly when given opportunities."

"And how long will this last?" Kei inquired. "Your interest."

Liam shrugged thoughtlessly. "I guess that depends on you. But usually it never passes a week or two."

"Just like your other flings, I'd be out of your hair within that time frame."

"Maybe. Maybe not." He gently grasped Kei Yun's hand across the table, playfully fiddling with it. "Like I've mentioned before as a friend and temporary lover your needs matter. I have you know I take great care of all my lovers as if we were in real relationships. So no need to be suspicious, your mere company is my payment."

Kei Yun only nodded allowing the other to touch his hand as he pleased. What could he say. He in the end was benefiting from Liam's little actions of tlc.

"From today on out you'll be living with me until further notice."

Why was Kei not surprised. Liam did whatever he wanted without a second thought. "And if I refuse?"

"You won't. There's nothing to refuse. Your low on money, very low. And I doubt your in the mood to go back to your addict of a father empty handed. Knowing that there'll be repercussions if you do so."

Kei Yun wanted to laugh as he couldn't argue with the man. There really wasn't a reason to refuse. He asked halfheartedly. "Should I pack anything?"

"No need. Everything you'll need is already there." He smiled pleasingly. "You'll love it. And you'll love me."

"As long as the deal stands that is." Kei stated deciding to play along with Liam's lover boy antics. There was nothing to really dislike about his situation. Liam was rich, handsome and full of opportunities. He on the other hand was not. All he had going for him currently was his looks and his undying rage for revenge.

Compared to his starting position from his last life. In this one he had basically stumbled across gold. Who cared if he had to sleep around here and there to get what he wanted. Who in the industry hadn't?

And Liam. He couldn't agree more towards Kei Yun. It was great that they established there partnership early on to prevent any problems in the future. With his long record and popularity in the business he at times had experience clingy lovers. Who would latch onto him because of money, clout, or obsession.

It was nice to know he wouldn't have to worry about that this time. He could have his fun and not worry about things getting complicated. And soon in a couple of weeks they'd go their separate ways. It was perfect.

~•~•~•~

Surprisingly on the way to his new home, Kei Yun was the only one who got out to go inside. While Liam gave the excuse of business and road off to somewhere else after dropping him off.

Kei Yun was quickly greeted by a pair of maids at the front door. He exchange a view pleasantries before stepping inside the home. The designs were expensive but simple and elegant. Just like the office Liam's interior was full of art. Statues; paintings; sculptures, ect..

It was like walking into a museum. Even the furniture appeared to be hand crafted. Anyone could tell that the owner of the mansion had good taste.

One of the maids took off Kei Yun's jacket while the other brought him upstairs to the second floor. Pushing open the door to a room on the far end, the maid gestured for him to go in before closing the door behind him.

Inside, there was a private bathroom, computer, an emperor sized bed, indoor closet full of clothes and so much more. But what caught Kei Yun's attention was the painting on the wall in front of the bed. The only decor in the room.

"Haha.." Kei Yun couldn't help but laugh as he stared at that singular piece of art.

This conspicuous painting that sat boldly in the middle of the room, was the same exact painting he saw in Liam's office. Brush stroke to brush stroke, signature to signature. It was the painting he gazed at this morning.

"I guess he's a man of his word after all." Kei mumbled, very amused by the man. Who in the end had some likable qualities besides his face and good taste in art.

'I'll make a mental note to think him later.'

Kei Yun turned around and headed towards the bathroom. Changing out of his clothes he sat down in the tub full of peddles and soap and soaked his body. Everything in the room seemed to already be prepared for him for when he got there.

Clothes, accessories, the bath ect..

Like Liam had stated before, there was really no need for him to bring anything along.

After the bath he put on a pair of silk pajamas and jumped in the bed. A knock was suddenly heard at the door.

"Mr. Suzuki, may I come in?"

"You may come in."

The room door opened and in walked a maid holding a wooden board that held a porcelain cup on top. "Mr. Liam suggested a cup of tea for a smooth sleep tonight."

"Oh, he did?"

The maid politely nodded as she sat the cup of tea down on the night table.

"Tell him I said thank you then."

"I will send him your regards." bowing lightly she turned around and left.

Sighing he picked up the tea and began to drank it till nothing was left. Pleasantly enjoying the taste of cinnamon and honey.

Setting down the empty cup, Kei Yun rolled over and buried himself under the soft covers and quickly fell asleep.

Kei had slept deeply for the whole night, only waking up the next day at 12:00 o clock noon.

Still a bit drowsy Kei Yun climbed out of bed and walked into the bathroom. Emerging 15 minutes later fully conscious and functional as he walked back to the bed.

The tea cup on the night stand was gone and in it's place was a note.

[My beloved Haru, I hope you enjoyed the little present in your room as much as I did giving it to you. And as the great man that I am, by the time you have woken up after having your tea last night. There should be another present that's waiting for you down stairs. I apologize for not telling you this myself as I am quite busy this morning. But I promise to see you soon ;) ]

~ P.S Don't miss me too much XD

"He can't be serious..." Where does all his confidence come from?

Balling up the note he casually threw it away before heading downstairs. And just as he approached the bottom of the staircase he saw a women with raven colored hair, standing in the middle of the living room. She were a pair of nice framed glasses and looked to be in her mid twenties. They weren't close but from a distance he could tell she was beautiful.

Beautiful and familiar.

'Well I'll be damned.'
