Chapter 4 - A handsome Gentleman

It was a cold morning at busiest city in Japan. Even so, the city never stopped making the sounds. At the luxury boutique, there's Lucian and Asuka which they are looking for the nice for Lucian's next 'date'. Lucian looked at the several dressed. He frowned a bit as he wasn't satisfied with what he saw. He sighed a bit.

"I know I never complained about the clothes you showed before, Hime chan, but I really need the best one you have. I have a 'date' with my clients, he paid me the best one, so I have to give my best if you know what I mean." He carefully explained to the owner boutique. Hime put her fingers on her chin: thinking.

"Well, there's one. It will cost you a lil bit and it's kinda different than you always wore." Hime made the gesture asking them to follow her. They stopped at one clothes that exactly made everybody there gasped. It's a gown that follow the body shape which makes it looks sexy. The top part was a bit revealing, which enough to show off the best body part there. The gown looks like as if it was naked but the glittering of diamonds did covered certain parts that need to be hidden. Lucian looks satisfied when he saw the gown. He thought it was the perfect one.

"That's what I'm talking about, Hime. I love this one." He exclaimed.

"But, would it be too much? This one is kinda too sexy..?" Asuka raised her uneasy feeling. Plus that gown is not cheap at all.

"Have you forgotten what my work was, Asuka?" Lucian asked with sarcastic tone. His secretary sighed, "Well if you think that's the best then I cannot stop you then." She gave up.

"Yay, looks like I made a fortune today. Thanks a lot Lucian." The boutique owner giggled.

After they done bought the gown, they went to Lucian's penthouse.

"So the clothes done, grooming time done. Well now I just need to wait for make up and so on." He sat on the couch, looking satisfied.

"Is that me or you look so happy right now?" Lucian never looks happy to meet with his clients before; because they are old man mostly.

"Of course I am, he paid me almost 100 kUSD, what else? Well I don't know how he looks like, but I'm just gonna accept if he's an old dude since I love man with thick pocket."

"Well, I can understand that. By the way, so should I asked Kimura to standby as usual after your date? Since this package have unlimited time one."In case, this old gentleman wouldn't make you satisfied," Asuka sounded as if she mocked her own boss. Lucian glared at his secretary with annoyed eyes.

"No, this time call Kazuki and Murasaki." He said with mocking tone. "I want threesome this to me."

Then, Asuka made a vomit face expression.

...….

The next Friday…

Skies were gray and the rain streamed down on the earth heavily; fall on the ground. But it won't stop Lucian's plan today. He dressed completely and if anyone looked at him, they're gonna gagged as he looks stunning. As usual Asuka accompanying his boss to the hotel. Eternal Hotel; they weren't familiar with that hotel. No information about it at all, as if someone hacked the internet and remove the fact about the hotel. It's Lucian's job to meet client and entertain them wherever they wanted, but it's made him a bit nervous as he had no idea who his client is. Few minutes later, they arrived at the area that a bit far away from the city, not so many buildings or shops there, but they can see Eternal Hotel in front of them. The bellhop worked there opened the limousine's door and greeted them. He then led them to the general manager that already waiting there.

"Welcome to Eternal Hotel, Lady Lucian. My name is Tennoh, general manager at Eternal Hotel. I will bring you to Mr. Shinoda." He spoke politely. They went to the elevator together and head to destination.

"What a nice hotel. I didn't know about this hotel at all." Asuka praised; at the same time digging for more information about the mysterious hotel.

"Well, it's a private hotel owned by Mr. Shinoda which means we didn't accept any booking from anyone simply unless it was approved by Mr. Shinoda himself."

"Well, to sum up, he's the owner and he's the guest. What a nice way to blow the money away." Lucian chuckled as he thought it was stupid of Shinoda to do that. Tennoh just smiled back.

"We have arrived." Tennoh said. They went out from the elevator and they already inside the expensive suite. Lucian and Haruka couldn't help but in awe when they see the interior design inside the suite. It looks so well decorated.

"Have a sit first. I will inform Mr. Shinoda you already arrived. " He pointed out the dining table. "Feel free to make yourself at home. While I call for Mr. Shinoda, our waiter will serve you the champagne." He then went inside the elevator back leaving Lucian and Asuka.

"Girl, that Shinoda sure didn't play around. I could give a perfect score for his preparation." Lucian was indeed impressed with all preparation.

"I agree. I mean, this a bit extra preparation is really something else," her eyes widely looking at every corner of the suite. "By the way, what's Mr. Shinoda looks like, Mr. Waiter?"

"A very handsome gentleman. Well that's the only thing I can say." The waiter smiled back and poured the champagne.

"Hehe, this Shinoda is sure so cute," the blondie sipped the champagne. After a few minutes of waiting, they could hear the elevator bell's sound; a signal the mysterious man Shinoda had already arrived. The mysterious man went out from the elevator, accompanied by his secretary, Eris. The gentleman wore a perfect well made tailored suit, he has undercut hair which the top is silver ash colour and the bottom part is black. Het got very intense eyes which can make anyone fell in love with him immediately. Unlike Lucian's previous clients, Shinoda looked so young; probably around 26 years old. Asuka was surprised because because it's really rare for Lucian to get a very young client. Meanwhile Lucian couldn't help but shocked when he saw Shinoda. He knew that Shinoda guy very well; more than anyone else in the room.

That was his ex boyfriend, Haruki.

Lucian became so numbed at the chair. He couldn't react at all as he was shocked. The gentleman sat in front Lucian and Asuka while his secretary stood.

"Sorry for the wait. Let me introduce, this is Mr. Shinoda Haruki. He's the owner of Eternal Hotel. I'm Eris, his secretary." Eris smiled and handed a business card to Asuka. Asuka accepted that gave her copy.

"Hello, it's been a while, hmm Lucian." Haruki opened his lips, smiled and looked at Lucian straight.

"What are you doing here, Haruki?" He asked, annoyed. He didn't expect that Shinoda was Haruki. Plus, it's not the same Haruki he saw before.

"What I'm doing here? Basically, it's my hotel and I'm here to meet you as your client." He sipped the champagne and stared at Lucian.

"No, you're supposed to be-"

"In jail right? Well that's a few years ago, after we broke up. It was a nightmare but here I am."

"This is ridiculous. This shouldn't happen. I'm leaving."

"Well I won't suggest that." Haruki just chuckled as he thought Lucian was behaved oddly. Asuka was frowned as she didn't understand what's going on there. Her boss never acted that way, not even once. She was wondering what's actually happened between the two of them. Have they met before? She had no idea at all.

"In your term, we cannot cancel this package plus you're already accept this job. You yourself also cannot cancel it since my boss had paid you unless you want to get sued. I don't think it will do good to your name." Eris said, the tone actually threatened the blondie.

"Boss, I think for now you have to bare with it. I mean getting sued it's not going to do us good." Asuka whispered. Lucian hissed, he was mad but he didn't have any option.

"Well, I take that as you'll stay here. Eris, would you please leave? Together with Miss Asuka. Lucian and I need to talk; in private."

Eris nodded, she went out from there with confused Asuka together with the waiter. Now only Lucian and Haruki remained. They both went silent and stared at each other.

"Well, I've seen you changed, a lot. I mean you do really look like a woman. A very beautiful one"

"What do you want Haruki? You already leave me and now what? You want to get back together? It won't happen."

"I knew it won't happen and you won't like that idea either. That's why I'm buying the expensive package one since this the only way I can meet with you without you're trying to run away."

"I don't want to meet you! For what? Our relationship is already over." Lucian was so angry. He was reminded by the previous memory he had before, his dark past.

"Calm down, Yuu." Haruki said that name. It's Lucian's real name.

"You said that name again, I will punch you."

"I prefer to call you with that name. After all that's your real name. I'm asking you nicely, have sex with me, no string attached and I'm asking this as a client, not as Haruki."

Lucian was silent. He gritted his teeth.

"Fine. Since you're my client and I can't refuse that."

It's only a sex, no feeling, no string attached, Lucian reminded himself.
