A deep sighed could hear from Blaire, Shun glances at his sister. He knew the two women did not get along, especially that there is a man involved in between. He witnesses how Claire showing affection towards Meisha but that man doesn't even take a glimpse at her.
But since Meisha met his sister, no one imagines he actually has a romantic side. He is a workaholic person. Since a teenager, he works hard to supports his studies. He is an orphaned and so he has no interest in the world but to earn money for himself.
Shun met him in one of his part-time job close to his school during the Junior High. He often hangs out in the café Meisha serves at. He was tall at the age of 15 because of his Russian blood, all heads would turn around to check on him.
Being bullied by Asian, he only became someone's punching bag. Even of his physique, he avoids to fight back in this foreign land. One day he met up with Kier and Daichi, they saw him being punch by a gang.
Troublemaker of the group, Daichi who first lean a punch. But Shun who beat up the leader of the gang. At first, Meisha is reluctant to make friends with them, thankful of Daichi's tactfulness, he slowly opens up himself towards them.
Shun squeeze Blaire's hand, "I'll call Daichi to accompany you."
Blaire looks up and gives her a question look, "How about Cassie?"
"Daichi brought the best of his gang into the island, so nothing to worry now," he assures her.
"Thank you, brother Shun," Blaire lean her head on Shun's shoulder. "You really is the best brother in the world."
Shun chuckled. Of course, he won't allow his sister to put in a difficult situation. She knew Claire very well. She surely still has a grudge towards Blaire.
"Meisha make the dinner back home. Come have dinner with us."
He smiled at her, "Okay."

Meanwhile, two hours ago in Martin De La Rue's suites.
"Welcome, Mr. Lee!" Martin greeted the Vice President of the Empire Dragon Hotel.
"Master De La Rue, good evening," the old man tried to greet him politely.
"Here, have some drinks," he offers.
"Please, don't bother Master Martin," Mr. Lee refuses the alcohol.
"Alright then, I'll go straight to the point," Martin sounded unhappy.
"Tell me, Mr. Lee, how long you've been working in the hotel?"
Mr. Lee adjusted his glasses," Honestly, I've been working half of my life in this hotel, Master Martin."
"And yet, you still the Vice President?"
Mr. Lee did not answer, so Martin continued.
"I can give you that position."
Mr. Lee stares at this man unbelievably. He chuckles.
"Please, this is not the time to joke around, Master Martin," he said.
"How if I am telling you that I am not?"
Mr. Lee makes long gazes to this foolish man.
"Then, I am just wasting my time here," he attempted to get up but Martin stops him.
"Come on, Mr. Lee... do you not desire to run the hotel by yourself? When I took over the Corporation, I can give it to you. But in return, I need your cooperation," Martin grin.
"You were talking to the wrong person, Master Martin," Mr. Lee chuckles.
This time, he quickly stood up and showing no interest to entertain him further.
"If you'll excuse me, I'll go ahead now, Master Martin. My wife and children waiting for me now."
Martin's face grimace from the rejection he receives, "Have you not dream for a better life for your family?"
Mr. Lee shook his head then laughs, "The president is generous enough already, Master Martin."
"Have a good evening," Mr. Lee did not stay any longer. The air has been poisonous the moment he steps inside the suite.
He reaches his phone and dialed a number.
The person on the other line answered, "Yes?"
"Boss," Mr. Lee reported the meeting he has with Martin De La Rue. The other line laughs.
"I have one condition on staying loyal to you, President," he said that made the other line silent for a moment.
"Okay, what is it?" Shun asked.
"Could you kick your uncle's ass for me?"
Shun chuckles, "You don't need to request that, Vice President Lee."
"I'll do the beating instead," he added that made Mr. Lee shook his head.
His boss ended the call then he walks towards his car to go home to his family. How dare that man?
Mr. Lee rather be demoted than treated like trash. He knows very well what kind of a person Master De La Rue was.
Compares to the young president, he treated his employees equally as long as you will do your job properly over your loyalty.

YOUNG VILLA, Hiryuu Island
Daichi was whistling while cleaning the pots in the kitchen. He still wears that Hello Kitty apron on his body. His phone rings so he left the sink and picks up his phone in the table.
He checks the caller and it was Rudolf.
"Did he missed me already?" Daichi joke on himself.
"Oi, what is it?" he answered.
"Boss wanted you to come back in the mainland," Rudolf informed him.
"Hmm... why?"
"Master De La Rue and his daughter were here. He assigned you to accompany Miss Blaire while those two were here."
"I see," Daichi scratches his chin. He understands his boss concerns.
"I will go instructed my men first thing tomorrow before I will go back," he said.
"Of course, that's the boss wanted for you to do first hand."
Rudolf ended the call before Daichi could speak again, his mount left open, hanging in the air.
"This man really," he mumbles. "Am not finish yet!" he yells.
Cassie was entering the kitchen when he cried.
"Brother Daichi, what's wrong?" she glances at the phone he's holding.
"Ah, I've been talking to Rudolf but he just turns off his call without saying goodbye, am not even finish talking!"
Cassie giggles. When it comes to these two men, they were often acting like little kids to each other.
"What Mr. Rudolf wanted, brother Shun?" she asked him, curious if Shun would finally have the plan to visit the island.
"Boss wants me to go back to the mainland for an important job."
Disappointment flashes on her face but she tried to hide it, "Okay, brother Daichi. Good luck then!"
"Missy," Daichi seems like want to cry. "Am going to miss you."
She giggles. "Don't worry about me, brother Daichi, I will be fine!" she assures.
"I will come back as soon as my assignment finish, Missy."
"Hmm!" she nods and tried to act bubbly.
