A man in a handsome business suit walked towards his office. He had a maroon slicked-back hair, which makes his face neat. Along the way to his office, the employees bowed to him. As they do that, the man smiled at them. He seemed like a typical, laid back CEO type of person.
He stepped into his office and sat on his swivel chair. He had a medium-sized, minimalist office with a wide window that allows him to see the scenery from the 20th floor. He pushed a button on a mini device that allows him to call his employees. He called Mr Tivyat, one of his favorite employees in this company. Even though he only started working in the agency for half a year, but he had done a good job in giving splendid ideas and solutions every time they need to deal with a problem.
After a few minutes, a tall man came in. He had short black hair and he is wearing a black suit and a dark blue business shirt under it. Tivyat looked at his boss in front of him. He looked nervous, maybe because he's still new in the office. He pushed back his big round spectacles that is already on the tip of his nose.
"How many times do I had to tell you to change your glasses?" The man said as he looked at Ms Tivyat."You looked like a geek who plays sudoku on your break time" He said with a laugh.
"..It's my favorite glasses, Mr Charles" He replied. He answered in Japanese, but with a thick Russian accent.
"Tivyat, my boy" He sighed as he examined Tivyat." You're handsome, but you need to change your, style"He smiled bitterly.
"Yes, Mr Charles."
"Just call me Charles, eh?" He gave a warm smile."Hearing that made me wanna puke for some reason."
The man nodded. He pushed back his spectacles again.
"So what do I have for today, Tivvy?"He sighed. Already prepared himself for a whole lot of meetings and schedules.
" You have an appointment with Mr Chiba at noon, and after that there will be a meeting with Ms. Yaruko's team to discuss the expenses and our target for the month at 3, and then Mr. Yahaba invited you to play golf with him at 5.And lastly, your father invites you for dinner at Casa del Rio for the night."He said in one huge breath."I guess that's for today" He continues.
He's not my father, for god's sake, Charles thought.
"Oh, I'm not that busy for today," He said to Tivyat."I might be able to play some basketball, a round or two, "He smiled."Care to join me?"He asked politely.
"But I had.."
Before he had said anything, Charles cut him."Yeah yeah, I understand. You had your work and your own life, eh?"
The 25-year-old Russian man nodded.
Charles looked at his sky dweller Rolex watch. It's 11.30 pm."Ah look at the time," He sighed."I should go now I guess, prepare myself with stuffs or whatsoever," He said as he looked through his desk that is full of papers and files. It's a huge mess."Of you go,"
Tivyat bowed to him in respect and walked out of the office. He sometimes marveled how someone as careless and happy go lucky guy like Charles could become a CEO
What wonders, he thought to himself.
...
Yua smiled at her fans as they screamed for her name when she walked out of the SUV. She waved at them and gave a naughty smile to them. As she does that, the audience went crazy.
She had changed her looks completely. She wears a white open front faux fur coat with a black crop top that showed half of her slim body. She's been working on it lately, so they could see the outline of her abs. She had colored her hair white and leave the tip of her hair black. She likes to wear jewelry, today she decided to wear Swarovski's tropical parrot pierced earrings, light multicolored gold tone patented.
After graduating from school, she traveled to the USA to become an actress. Maybe because of sheer luck or maybe because of her talent and beauty, she met with a world-renowned movie director that is looking for an actress to become a side character in his upcoming movie and yes, she got the job on the spot.
After the movie was released, everyone adores her acting and her fluent French in her act. Her Instagram followers went from 1k to 100k in a night. She went from nobody to a celebrity overnight. After that, many movie director want her to star in their movie and she bad attend many photoshoots and interviews. All this new situation had somehow changes her attitude.
She felt like the old Yua had left her soul, permanently.
She became rebellious after that. She sometimes came late to her photoshoot sessions, she fought with many other celebrities and had created many controversies, she swears at her manager for only God knows how many times. She's a devil in disguise.
Her haters surely have a lot to talk bad about her since she is bad herself.
But somehow, that had made her more notable than ever. People worshiped her for her devilish acts and rants. They called her a tiger, a wild cat, and many more animal predators that cannot be tamed.
She liked that.
"Yua, there are thousands of handsome rich guys who adore you and would like to date you, why are you still single up until now?" One of her interviewer asked her as the interviewer was being pushed by many people.
"I don't like being owned!" She said to her as she noticed a camera taking a video of her and she give a swear sign and give the audience her somehow naughty, famous laugh.
She brings bad vibes to the society, but who cares? She's a bitch and she liked it.
She did all this just because for one reason.
Did you see that Ryuu?
You said you liked how Misaki acts towards the world.
Look at me!
Look at me now, Ryuu.
Look at how I don't give a fuck at them.
She waved to the audience. She smiled at them. She really had a good time. She somehow thank Misaki for showing her that she didn't need to fulfill anyone's expectations.
The Yua who had always afraid of her classmates talking about how her grades bad worsen and when they talked about her performance is no longer there. She's dead.
(That's a full glow up,lol)
....
Tatsuo laughed as he saw Ryuu's angry face. His face is red like a tomato."Look how in the world would I noticed that?"He said as he looked at Ryuu and then to the burning wound on his hand."You're the one who supposed to take care of me, "He continued.
" You're not a baby, dammit"Ryuu groaned as he applies antibiotic ointment on the burn. After that, he covered it with a bandage. He did it all gently to lessen the pressure on the burn to avoid pain for Tatsuo.
After seeing that, he roared a laugh again."Are you dumb? How many times do I have to tell you that I can't feel pain?"He said to him as Ryuu groaned in annoyance."That's the main reason why you lived with me, idiot," He started at Ryuu's annoyed face. He had been diagnosed with Congenital insensitivity to pain when he was still a kid, in short, CIPA, where he can't feel pain. It's a huge advantage for a gangster like him, but it had its burdens.
He would always burns his hands when boiling water using a pot because he can't feel the heat that came from the pot. Sometimes he wouldn't notice that he had broken a leg if he had fallen because he couldn't feel the pain. He only noticed it when his feet are swollen badly.
Once, he didn't notice that his right hand are on the fire log and was literally on fire because he's busy looking at his phone when he went camping with Ryuu and Misaki. Thank God Ryuu noticed his burning meat smell and rushed to splash some water on his burning hand. That is when Ryuu decided to live with him after her mother had passed away and after her sister start to live in her own house after starting college.
"I regret this decision," Ryuu said to him. Then after finished wrapping the bandage all over the burn, he packs the antibiotics and other items back to their place in the emergency medical box.
Then his phone gave a message notification. Ryuu looked at his Samsung phone.
"No, it's from the Nokia one"
Ryuu groans.Job time."Who do I need to kill now?"He sighed as he flips open the old Nokia phone. This Nokia phone had a number on it,#142."In this daylight? Geez"Every week, they would give back the phone to the agency, and they will receive a new one.
He looked at the info written on the phone
Mrs Y
37 years old
Black short, bobbed hair
Shot
"Come on, don't think about it too much," Tatsuo pats his back."We're stuck here together"
"That's the least that I want in my life," He said as he prepared himself to work
