It was fate when he had seen her in the club. His heart fluttered with glee seeing her wavy hair and almond shaped green eyes. She hadn't changed much from their school days until now. Akiaya was more womanly since the last time he saw her. Her body was much more developed and voluptuous. It could have been the genetics from her mother side. He had sat by the bar watching her. Takeyasu knew she wouldn't recognize him at all. After all, he had changed from the scrawny, glasses wearing kid to a well toned man. Whoever said time changes everything was indeed right. Takeyasu was now a walking Adonis compared to before. Women willingly threw themselves at him, which he happily obliged giving them a bit of slap and tickle.
He had seen almost immediately when her face fell and her heart shattered but just as swiftly she schooled her features and was a mask of indescribable dignity and happiness. Watching her walk towards the couple he assumed she knew them just as he had known
Once he was standing he cradled Akiaya closer to his vomit soaked chest and walked towards his car. He had hoped the cool air would help her sober up a bit but she never stirred. Placing her in the car he reclined the seat and buckled her in. Retreating to the driver side he drove them both to his hotel room. Takeyasu picked her up and walked inside letting the front desk know that he will need his shirt laundered. He received a nod of his head and stepped in the elevator pressing the button for the presidential suite. It wasn't always a suite he would use but he had wished to entertain some ladies but those thoughts were dashed when he had seen her at the event. She would take precedence over any other woman.Takeyasu made her comfortable on the bed before removing her dirty clothing. When the knock came to the door he had already had their things in a bag waiting for them. His attention returned to her, but before they could leave he called out to the staff. "I'l
Takeyasu lead Akiaya to the hotel dining room. There before them was a buffet style breakfast laden with food from all over the world. She couldn't help the water gathering in her mouth. Everything looked so delectable. She looked over to him just to see if it really was alright for her to indulge. When he didn't make any complaints against it she grabbed a plate and loaded it with her favorite foods. It had been a godsend when she was able to travel the world with her father and partake of foods from around the world. Her plate was topped with pancakes, poached eggs, whipped cream and syrup. She had grabbed a bowl for soup.When she knew that was all she wanted, she went to take a seat. Bowing to her meal she said her prayers and waited for him. Takeyasu wasn't hungry just yet and instead followed her to the table. The minute she seen he had nothing to eat her scowl became evident. "You need to eat. Go get something. It can be fruit or even just a bowl of soup but you m
The bright sun pulled her back to her senses as she stepped outside of the hotel. She hailed a cab letting them know her destination. The driver pulled off in a hurry to beat the morning traffic. Akiaya looked at the time to see she still had a few hours before she would need to be ready an presentable for work. The desire to call her father and tell him she wasn't well was very enticing but despite the events of last night and this morning her job was more important to her. Nothing and no one would keep her from reaching her goal. Especially that dumb joke made by Takeyasu. Whatever he was thinking she knew he needed his head examined.She was close to her destination when her phone rang. The number had been programmed in her phone as "my one and only." She looked confused and let it continue to ring. The only person she had ever been in love with was Victor Johnston and he never had her number, so she couldn't grasp who it would have been. Her phone rang once more from
The driver got there on time as always and waited for Akiaya to come down. She normally comes down by 8:15 but when she didn't arrive, he grew anxious. When it was thirty minutes past her usual leave time he phoned the CEO. "Sir, Miss Akiaya hasn't come down yet…" Just as he was about to ask what did he want to do she came down the stairs. "My apologies sir she's here now." The call ended before Akiaya got in. "Hello Ryeo. Sorry for being late." She elegantly got in. Ryeo rushed to the driver's side after closing the door. Ryeo put his foot on the accelerator and the car lurched before speeding off into the morning traffic.It took longer for her to get to the office than normal. When she finally arrived her father, Geun Hye, was waiting outside the doors with his arms folded across his chest and a scowl displayed on his face. She knew her dad would be extremely upset if he found out what happened last night. His only daughter sullying herself with a stranger no le
Takeyasu didn't take long to ladle a bowl of doenjiang jigae. He then grabbed a banana, apple, and pear. Walking slowly he made it back to his seat. Seeing her satisfied smile gave him butterflies in his stomach. He did his best to keep his features from betraying how he truly felt in that moment. He watched her eat her breakfast with gusto. It was oddly cute and familiar to him. Takeyasu wanted to cement this memory in his mind forever. Sneakily he took out his phone and captured her stuffing a piece if pancake in her mouth, Akiaya eyes were closed and a dribble of whipped cream was on the corner if her mouth. He put away his phone. "Heh." That caused her to look up mid bite of another mouthful.Akiaya brow furrowed at the sound, looking up at him she spoke, "Wut?! I'm allowed.." She swallowed what was left in her mouth before speaking again. "I'm allowed to eat as I please. The food is delectable. If you have a problem with it then go f*ck yourself." Holding his hands
Victor couldn't believe the text he had received from Takeyasu, "…. Talk me up to Miss Akiaya.." it was ludicrous. Akiaya was the epitome of mousey women in his eyes, but she had managed to capture Takeyasu attention, his best friend who happened to ooze sex appeal. Maybe she was more unruly outside of the office than he realized. Victor always thought she was quiet and reserved seeing as she pushed herself to be promoted from a mail clerk to assistant to the CEO in just a short two years. That or she used her feminine wiles on her bosses then black mailed them afterwards. No, she's too innocent to be that way in his eyes.Victor gathered his things and headed for the elevators. He had been hoping that with all the hours he'd been investing into the company, that old man Geun Hye would turn the company over to him, but short of marrying Akiaya; something he didn't want to do, he could only work hard and hope that Akiaya gave up on the business. His assistant got in the elevato
Victor couldn't believe his ears at the spirit he heard from her. He looked positively shocked at her. "Miss Akiaya, wait a moment. I believe you misunderstand my intentions." He stood up abruptly and reached for her wrist. Victor didn't expect what happened next to ever happen. Akiaya used his body weight against him and flipped Victor inside the restaurant. She then twisted his wrist to grab his attention. "Never touch me without permission. Got it. Now if I misunderstood then please enlighten me. Now!" She began to twist it slightly to apply just the right amount of pressure. "I asked you to lunch to talk about a friend of mines. Please let me go. You have my dominant hand you nut job!" He thought for a moment she wouldn't relinquish his hand but to his surprise she let it go and then bowed to him in remorse. "I apologize for the disturbance. Shall we sit and discuss this friend of yours?" The difference between Akiaya then and now in Victor's eyes was incredible. He was learning
Marna decided since the little heiress was in a comatose state of mind, that she would join them. She flagged down a wait staff to bring her a chair to sit in. She took a seat in between the two of them. A waiter rushed over to add a third pair of silverware to the table. Marna gave them a smile that showed her dazzling white teeth. The waiter was temporarily love struck by it. So stricken that he nearly ran right into her chair. Marna couldn't help but giggle. Victor on the other hand looked as if his jaw would break from tension. Marna reached out her hand and roughly grasped his chin. "Victor fix your face dear you look as if you're going to fight someone." It took that action for Akiaya to snap out of her daze. She reached over and grabbed Marna hand, causing her to scratch Victor's face with her nails. "I don't care if you're so-called relatives or not. You're being to familiar with him. He is my cousin's fiancée. So keep your hands to yourself dear." There was no smile or warm
