Step #10 part 2

In the gray toned study room, Sei was quietly standing near the large window as his gaze locked onto the wide garden below.

"So?" he asked and for some reason, his cold frosty aura was back to its original form. However, Yujin was already used to this cold aura of him rather than the slightly warm one he saw moments ago in the kitchen. He was actually downright confused when he saw his tyrant boss eating a heart-shaped chocolate cake and staring at a love note in his hand. He could not imagine it, not even in his wildest dreams. He was sure that no one would believe him if he told this news to his comrades.

'Good thing I was the one he sent here this time. I actually witnessed a fascinating development, haha. I'm indeed a lucky existence.'

"Boss, there's a huge lead in Hayase's team. Currently, they're waiting for your decision. Do I need to request the data right now?"

"No need. Tell them to wait for me."

Upon hearing Yujin's words, Sei's voice instantly turned terrifyingly frigid. The frost in his already cold gaze tripled in just a few milliseconds, and if he continues in that state, the air around the whole room might actually freeze.

"So what's your plan? How long will you leave her for this time?" Zaki's words were like powerful brakes, abruptly stopping a full speed bullet train. The man's coldness was forced to calm down. However, it appeared to only be the calm before a deadly storm.

"She's here," Zaki continued as his eyes fell on the black car entering the garage.

…

As soon as Davi stepped out of the car, she took a really deep breath. It was because she was planning to execute another move on him as soon as she saw him.

She then walked towards the entrance, dressed in a simple yet catchy white knee leveled dress while her black hair was tied up. She looked like she was a supermodel and an innocent yet captivating student at the same time. She certainly had a beyond beautiful look that no one could ignore.

She carried a bag of books in one hand, and her other hand was behind her back, hiding something.

Davi's footsteps got closer to the sofa and she was getting ready to execute the remaining cheesy move in her list; step #10 part 2.

Thankfully, she saw the silhouette of a masked man sitting on the couch, seemingly waiting for her. Davi's fresh face instantly glowed brighter as she moved towards him.

Hearing her footsteps, the masked prince raised his head towards her. His line of sight was locked onto her until she finally stood right before him.

"I'm back," she said with her usual energetic smile. As usual, Sei just nodded at her uttering a single sound, "Mm."

Davi wasted no time. She put down the bag of books in her hand then stood straight before him, now with both hands hiding behind her back.

With just a glance, Sei could tell that she was about to give him something. His curious eyes were filled with anticipation at what she was about to give him.

In the next second, Davi stretched out her hand and a single red rose was now in front of him. "For you," she said.

Sei was instantly puzzled as he gazed at the rose and then at the girl with the dazzling smile. He didn't expect her to give him a rose because wasn't he supposed to be the one giving her that?

And yet, her eyes were twinkling as though there were billions of stars in it, as though she really wanted to and was really happy to give him that rose. Her eyes never twinkled like that when he gave her a truckful of red roses. What's with the huge difference?

The thing was, the rose wasn't the irresistible one at all, it was her - the way she looked, her every expression and the way she gave the rose to him! While she was normally bright and determined, she was far more dazzling at that moment, that one couldn't help but accept whatever gift she gave them, even if that gift was a bomb.

After a few moments, Sei finally lifted his hand and took the red rose from her hand. The moment he took it, Davi's eyes which looked like they were filled with billions of sparkling stars, appeared as though they exploded with happiness.

Seeing her seemingly exaggerated reaction, Sei couldn't help but feel somewhat amused.

The girl then picked her bag up and said, "I'll go tidy this up," then turned her back, smiling widely. Sei was left just silently scrutinizing the rose in his hand, as though he was dissecting it with his sharp, razor-like gaze.
