Stepsister

Zayne stood there looking at his so called room. Before they moved in to cassian's manor, he used stay at a hotel but never in this gods damned house. His own room felt alien to him. He slowly went inside and took out a backpack from under the bed. He walked towards the wardrobe, flipped it open,he took out a small key from his pocket and opened a cupboard inside the wardrobe.

Two guns and a small notepad greeted his sight. He took out the guns and threw them in his backpack. He then took out the notepad and was searching for a number when he heard the door open. He looked up and saw ji ran walking in with a tray in her hand. He slowly closed the backpack and put it aside on the bed, but Ji ran's sharp eyes caught him doing that.

"What are you hiding in that pack? Weapons?" she asked casually as she placed the tray on the table infront of his bed. He wasn't sure whether she's joking or not. Nevertheless he shrugged and sat down on the floor leaning against the bed. She arched her brow.

"You have a king sized bed that could literally fit 10 members in it and you still want to sit down?" True. Zayne's room had 2 walk in closets full of clothes he never even touched, a king sized bed and a washroom that could easily be spa with a little redecoration. But he preferred sleeping on the sofa in the left corner of the room than in the bed.

"I thought you were leaving for work?" he asked as he grabbed the juice glass from the table.

"I will after you leave" she said as she said down beside him. He took a sip and smiled at the familiar taste.

"Did you make it?" he asked.

"Why ask when you already know it?" she said but she was smiling too. Her phone rang. She picked up and said

"What is it?" she asked, her tone had no hint of softness to it. After listening to the other end, she clenched her teeth.

"That bastard..alright clear my schedule, I'll go pay him a visit myself" she said and hung up, annoyed. Zayne looked at her for a moment before asking

"Is that about direction park?" she wasn't the least bit surprised that zayne knew about the company matters. She nodded and said

"He want's his son to be one of the board of directors and is working his ass off to make it happen" he chuckled.

"Don't laugh. Its annoying" she grumbled. zayne downed his glass and stood up.

"I thought you were an expert at Dealing with such people" he said as he walked towards his backpack and put the notepad inside. Ji ran didn't move as she grumbled

"He's one of father's favoured people. Even though I'm the CEO, father is still the chairman" that made zayne pause his work. Slowly he smiled and walked up to her. He said as he crossed his arms

"Want my help?" she looked up and her eyes narrowed, but she laughed after a second.

"How come these matters only interest you when father is involved?" he grinned and gave her a hand as he said

"You know I love pissing him off" she shook her head but took his hand anyway and stood up.

"So what's your spectacular plan that'll piss our poor daddy off?" she asked. He flung his backpack over his shoulders and said

"Contact a reporter who's not on the company's side" she raised her brows

"And tell him what?" the way zayne smiled is pure wickedness.

"That the chairman of Ji Xi corporations is supporting nepotism, give him every dark evidence you have on director park and that he's planning to put his son on the board" Ji ran's eyes brightened

"So that he cannot interfere when I take action on director park" she said nodding at him. He winked at her and turned around to leave when she said

"You're clever, capable and responsible then why don't you be the CEO brother?" he paused and turned around to face his stepsister. He looked in to her eyes searching for some sort of jealousy, anger or sorrow but found nothing. He said

"I'm happy serving in the military ranran. I don't want to be the CEO. I want nothing to do with the company"

"Liar" was all she said. He sighed and pinched the space between his brows and said

"Trust me on this, I really don't want to get involved in the company matters" she looked him in the eye and said for the 100th time

"I don't want to fight with you over the company brother, not when it is originally yours. I can resign anytime. Just one word from you will do" zayne pursued his lips and was silent for a long long time before finally saying

"I'm leaving. I won't be able to contact you that much." he turned and opened the door

"Take care of yourself, come visit me after your mission,I'll be waiting" she said. He knew what she was implying. Take care of yourself: don't get hurt. Come visit me after your mission : tell me as soon as you come back. I'll be waiting: I'll miss you and yet

"I will" was all he said before he disappeared through the door.
