Who's that girl?

His day passes quickly doing nothing but signing and reviewing a lot of documents.

The Empire Dragon Hotel and The Peninsula are both busier of receiving the guests and models who are participating in the show. All the crew was in preparation and assistance to all who arrives early to attend this big event of the year.

In cooperation with the SWAT team, they guided the traffic and the DC Media helps the motorists to follow the traffic flow and the changes of the route they must take as the event would be attended by many Asian Royals and Ministers. The country police are also helping to separate the traffic from the routes the guests going to take upon their arrival.

It was just a normal Fashion Show but a lot of important powerful people asking to attend the show that made them in a rush preparation, a simple event into a big one.

Bella Collection was just often done their show in Europe. By hearing the news it is ever the first time an Asian Show Tour, many had contacted The Peninsula Office for a reservation and possible attendance of certain important people.

At the moment, Shun, the board of investors and the company executives was present for the final meeting related to the show.

Daichi's Security already in the Glass Garden securing the area with the cooperation of the SWAT Agency outside the venue.

The place, the after-party, the food, the server, the butlers, the personal bodyguards on disguises, and everything was all now ready.

When everyone is done reporting, Shun invited them to come and have dinner in one of the hotel's event hall. Everyone was happy, they were like in the gate of hell these passing two weeks, and soon, they could finally have some slack time.

They gathered in the hall and merrily having a light dinner. Yet, their top topic is about the event, hoping that no problem would appear when it is finally the day of the show.

It is in the middle of their small pre-party when a beautiful woman entered the hall.

"Shun! I missed you!" The woman throws her arms around Shun's neck and planted a kiss on his left cheek. Everyone saw it and great shocked registered to their faces.

"Olivia?" Shun who was very surprised as well.

"Hey, is that supposed to be your reaction?"

"Why are you here? Isn't you are doing a big project?" He asked in wonder.

"Yes. But I have the reliable crew to do them while I am gone," Olivia answered proudly.

"Hi, Shun!"

Another woman walks towards their president and planted a kiss to his cheek.

"Layla! Glad you have a safe flight." He told the famous Hollywood celebrity designer.

"Why that only Layla you've told that?" Olivia tried to act she was hurt.

"Ah… I did not expect you'll come," Shun cannot find the exact words to say.

"Of course, I will be, it is the first time Layla would be visiting this country. So, I am accompanying her, and to see you as well!" Olivia hooked her arm and clinging to Shun.

Whispers began circulating from the executives, including the investors.

"Layla!" Blaire came out from the powder room.

"Blaire, honey!" Layla hugs her.

"Look at you? Still, my favorite model," Layla complimented her. Blaire just laughs as she is used to her praises.

"Am glad you'd come."

"Of course, I will!" Layla responded.

"Olivia, hi." She nodded at her brother's ex-girlfriend.

"Hi, Blaire!" Olivia gives Blaire a cheek to cheek kiss. "Wow! Is this what marriage made you? Blooming and even gorgeous. I now wanted to be a married woman as well!" Olivia makes sure to say it loud and bubbly. She then glances at Shun.

Shun who just quiet, as he smiled plainly.

"Wait, where is Rudolf?" Layla asked afterward.

"Ah, he was in China right now," Blaire answered.

"What? Then I don't have a date that night?" Layla complains.

"If you really wanted to have a date on that night, I could introduce you to your personal bodyguard for that night," Blaire sounded like teasing her.

"Hmm… if he is as handsome as Rudolf, then I am fine with it."

Blaire laughs. "Don't worry, it was Kier's younger brother works as a Special Agent."

"Oh… sounds yummy," Layla whispered. "But he's younger than I."

Blaire giggles. She then glances at her brother who just stayed silent.

"How about you Shun? Do you have a date already? Because I am thinking you can be my date that night. Right, Blaire?"

Shun and Blaire exchange glances.

"Well, brother Shun decided to have no date that night. So, it is up to him."

"Oh, you did not invite someone to be your date?" Olivia asked him, brushing herself to him.

"I've been so busy that I forget about it," he said the truth.

"Then since I am available, how if I would be your date instead? Right?"

Olivia is proud of herself. That's what impression they are seeing. She was beautiful and has a class, looks a very educated woman but something is off about her. Shun's employees glancing at each other and shrugged a shoulder.

The two women still chatting with them when Daichi, Kier, and Meisha arrive.

"Hey, look who's here!"

"Daichi!" Layla marches to meet him and they hugged.

"Hi, Meisha! Kier," she nodded at them.

Daichi and Layla began chatting. Meisha joined Blaire and Kier talking to Shun. The three men were surprised to see Olivia, so they tried to chat with her as well.

The executives are just observing distinctly at their president and excited to gossip in secret. But he looks stiff and bored then just barely talk.

Half an hour had passed when Shun's secretary whispers that someone arrives from Hiryuu Island and is waiting at his office. He quickly left the Hall and climbed up to his office.

"Good evening, President Crow." Greeted by the Senior Engineer Park and his company, the Junior Architect.

"Good evening, please sit down." He invited them to sit across him in the sofas.

"Thank you, President Crow."

"Pardon for coming when it was getting late already."

"It's alright, I would be doing overtime."

"I see. Well, Young madam asked us to give it to you, so we think to report straightway."

Engineer Park placed the wrapped boxes in the long coffee table in front of them. Architect Donny Yao also handed him two folders stating of their reports about the project they were doing on the island.

"Okay. Come back tomorrow at 9 o'clock for some questions regarding your reports."

"Yes, President Crow."

"Alright, you both can go home now." Shun understands they wanted to see their family sooner they've landed the mainland.

Engineer Park and Architect Yao rose from the sofa then bows.

"Thank you, President Crow. We're leaving now."

He nods. "Good night, gentlemen."

"Good night, boss."

* * *

Now Shun finally left alone in his office. He unwrapped the boxes, and he saw there are names on them. Two boxes address him and one is named for Daichi. He was a bit of upset why have Daichi to receive as well. But then, he was surprised why he'll feel this way.

He opens the box and found out it was cinnamon rolls and other flavored bread. Did Cassie bake them? He was surprised. Now that's why she needed lots of cinnamon and other flavorings.

He chooses the cheesy one and made a big bite. It tastes so good. He notices a note on the wraps, he picks it up and read what's written. It is not Cassie's handwritten.

"Boss! Sent me a message when you receive this!"

It was from Joanna. He reaches for his phone and texted her. After a minute, he began receiving several photos. It was when Cassie made the flavored bread.

And he felt jealous thinking, he supposes to be the one helping Cassie on kneading the dough. In one photo, Jing is helping Cassie to prepare the dough. He also wishes he should be the first one to taste the food Cassie tried to make.

Shun continued eating when the other men entered his office.

"Oi, what was that! Why you didn't call us!? How dare you eating alone!"

Shun slap Daichi's hand who is about to pick up one bread. He handed him the box that addressed to him.

"Wow! Missy did not forget me!" Daichi happily opens the box.

He began eating one before he shared some for Kier and Meisha. Not long after Blaire arrives and quickly intrigued what they were eating.

"Hey, what you all eating?"

"Blaire, where are they?" Her husband asked her.

"Oh, Layla wanted to take a rest now from the long flight."

"That's great then," Kier said. They knew he doesn't like Olivia.

Shun shared his parts to his sister and Blaire cannot choose what to try first. She just picks up the cheesy one like what Shun eating.

"Wow! Is this Cassie's baking? This is too good!"

"Yes. She just learned to make them from Food Channels." Shun proudly mumbles between biting.

"Wow, really? That's very impressive. She's just very young, and she could make this good. Why did you not invite her to the show? She'll enjoy it for sure."

Shun was a bit surprised. His friends waiting for his answer. They were curious about it either. Shun doesn't know how to answer also. Why did he not do that in the first place? He truly thinks in the beginning, but his mind changes for the reason he wasn't sure. Why does he do not like the world to meet Cassie?

Ah... am hungry. I want to come out of my room! lol,,,
