Kay Constantine

Being dazed for a while, he, at last, snapped out of it as he started dialing the same number again.

After a few beeps, the call went through eventually.

"I swear I'll report-"

Just as she was about to finish, she was interrupted by Kay's words, "I'm the one that just interviewed you!"

Hearing this, Mina's eyes went wide open in astonishment as she recalled this familiar voice in the end. A few seconds passed when she finally replied anxiously, "Ah… I'm so sorry… I really had a bad day and I thought it was a prank call…"

Letting out a sigh, Kay talked again, "No matter what kind of day you've had, you have to at least ask who's calling before getting into conclusions fast. But no matter, I should've also introduced myself. But since we had met just an hour ago as we were even supposed to meet, I thought you would remember."

"Um… again, I apologize… so, umm… Mr. …" Not knowing what to call him, she went silent.

"It's Constantine… Kay Constantine." He introduced himself casually. Internally, however, he was wondering to himself, 'I recall some hazy memories of her calling my name… no, it was as if she was screaming my name in tears? Hmm…'

"C-Constantine? Are you perhaps, from the Constantine family? That Constantine family?" With her eyes wide open in stupefaction, she uttered. She was totally astonished by the possibility that he might be one of the people from the famous Constantine family.

"Yes, I am… you really didn't know my name?" After confirming briefly, he asked back in response.

"Huh? Why would I know your name?" She proclaimed confusedly. Misunderstanding his words, frowning, she even wondered, 'Could it be he thinks that just because he's from the great Constantine family, everyone has to know him?'

"Anyway, I clearly remember telling you to wait so we would be able to talk after the interview… you even said yes…" He said with a scowl.

Mina remembered how she had to leave because of her encounter with Annu. Remembering this made her mood a bit sour, but nevertheless, she replied politely, "Oh, so it's about that. Something came up… so I had to leave."

"Sigh… alright, can we meet now?" Kay asked helplessly while shaking his head in some disappointment.

In response to his question, she agreed while saying, "Sure, I'm free right now, where should we meet?"

"Can you come to the coffee shop beside the company building?"

"Of course, I'm on my way, I'll be there in fifteen minutes." While unconsciously nodding her head, she gave her consent.

Twenty minutes later, Kay was sitting inside the coffee shop as he continued to wait for her with a deep glower.

'Why hasn't she arrived yet? So… she's neither punctual nor loyal to her word. I think I shouldn't hire her.' Just as this notion appeared within his head, someone sat in front of him.

Taking a glance at the person before him, he confirmed it was indeed Mina Love, the person he was supposed to meet five minutes ago.

"You're late." He said, totally expressionless.
