Shun read Cassie's text over and over again before he gives the phone back to Daichi.

Everyone is waiting for his other questions regarding the preparation of the Bella Collection Fashion Show.

"Okay. I assume that no more problems. The show is by this weekend. I want the preparation to finish in two days before the show."

The Planner answered while bowing his head over again. "Yes, President Crow! I'll assure you! It will be finished as soon as possible!"

Although Blaire is the Head Organizer, she has three groups of Event Planners and each will present the best ideas or each assign with different projects. But this time, the rest of the planners are joining together.

"Okay. You all can go now." Shun dismissed them unexpectedly.

Each of them was surprised by his sudden change of behavior. They exited the Meeting Room with a question, what Director Isagawa showed to the president that changes his mood completely.

"I'm going back to the Glass Garden, brother. You want us to have lunch together?"

"Okay. I'll pick you up later," Shun agreed.

Blaire planted a kiss on his right cheek before she left the Meeting Room.

"I'll go back to my office now to continue reviewing the contracts with the media," Kier told him.

"Okay," Shun nodded then turns his head towards Daichi. "Why are you late?"

"What? I meet with the sparrows last night."

He stares at him suspiciously then shook his head. He already guessed of the reason. Riley is there too.

"Okay. I did call a meeting with my team so I'll go ahead now."

Shun just nodded. After everyone left, he gets up from his chair and opens a door in the corner. It was connected to his storeroom. The lock is from inside, so no one could open it from the Meeting Room.

He opens his fridge and take out bottled water then emptied it. He also washes his hand then look at his reflection in the mirror. He combs his hair and grabs a towel to wipe his face. After he is satisfied, he comes out from the room then sits on the long sofa inside of his office.

CASSIE'S POV

Cassie reached her school uniform pocket when her phone rings. She was currently listening to her favorite songs when the music cut out and replace with a tone she is not so familiar.

She is hesitant to press the green button but decided to check out what it is. Her heart wanted to jump out one more time when Shun suddenly appears.

Her mouth stays open from the shock by Shun's sudden video call again. She can't speak.

"Cassandra?" Shun call out her.

"Ah... bro-brother Shun... Good morning, brother Shun!" she suddenly bows in front of her phone. Shun chuckles.

"Good morning, Cassandra. Where are you?" Shun was curious about the background she has.

"Oh, I was in the..." Cassandra looks behind her moving her hand that gives Shun a partial glimpse of the area. "I was in the back of the school building."


Cassie raises her phone for Shun to see the ocean far ahead. Sadness flash on Shun's face. He misses the island.

"Ah... I see. You don't have a class?" he asked.

"Oh, no. The teachers were in a meeting but they are now gathered in the Junior High sports field with the other students."

"Why? And why you aren't with them?"

"Ah... there's a commotion earlier so the teachers called all the involved students to punished them as what I heard."

"Oh, okay. What are you doing?" he notices Cassandra often looking down and step sometimes.

"Ah... I was watering the garden." Cassie presses the rear camera for Shun to see the garden.

"Oh. That's nice."

She was jolted when her heart skip a beat because Shun's big smile what welcomes her when she put back her phone into a selfie mode.

"What happens? Are you okay?" Shun's voice full of concerns.

"Ah... I was... startled because... I saw a frog!" She right away found an alibi. "Yes. There is a frog jump out from the plants, brother Shun."

She laughs nervously. My goodness. She can't make any sudden expression while talking to him face to face through the mobile phone.

"Okay. There will be more for sure."

"Yes, brother Shun! There's a lot of them. I think they were surprised with the water." She tried to be sound convincing but in Shun's eyes, that made her look so cute.

"Anyway, what do you want to ask?"

"Oh... about that. Well, I just wanted to ask if brother Rudolf know something about the sudden system down with the game they are playing."

"Really? Is it?" Shun asked innocently.

"Rudolf is currently in Beijing for a business meeting. I haven't talked to him yet."

"I see... okay."

"Is that all? Are you concerned about something else?"

"Ah... no. It is just, Joanna was been whining about it and I don't understand. So I just guessed it is a big deal. The students were now punished because they were on a riot when they can't log in into a game and was shouting and yelling loudly."

Shun did not leave his gazes on his phone. He was very amused staring the way Cassie makes reactions. Her shy gazes. Her sudden attentive to talk and her habit of biting her lower lip then looking down or look away. He also notices her habit of touching her hair and then pull it behind her ear.

"I will let you know if Rudolf heard news about it. The developers of that game were located in Beijing and Rudolf knew them somehow."

It may be a partial lie, but he is doing this on behalf of her.

"I will clear out my work next week so that, I could continue the building of the hotel."

With this good news, Cassie's face brightens up and that did not miss from Shun's eyes.

Of course, this will only mean that Shun will stay on the island again.

"Oh, brother Shun. They all come back now. I have to go back to the classroom as well."

"I see. Okay... Don't forget to eat on time."

"Okay, brother Shun." Cassie smiled.

"Have a good day, Cassandra. Goodbye..."

"Okay, brother Shun."

Their goodbyes seem no end because Shun is hesitant to press the end call button.

"Alright, I'll cut the video call now," he sadly told Cassie between a sigh.

Cassie nodded and smiled not noticing his sad expression because Joanna is calling out her.

And when he noticed Cassie entering the building and he could hear the noises from the students, he forces himself to hit the end button.
