The Best in the World

SHUN'S POV

He left the kitchen to get some lemon from the front yard garden within the Villa. Cassie got up from the sofa and then suddenly ran towards the main door.

But what happens next is that his soul jumps out from his body. 

If only he could do that for real, like in the Chinese martial arts movies, and do some magic.

He was terrified witnessing Cassandra slipping on the floor and slamming herself into the nearby dresser, and the vases fell on her head.

"Cassandra!!" he screamed.

He ran as fast as he could... if only he has superpowers like The Flash to catch her.

"My god, Cassandra!"

He kneels on the floor and clears away the broken vases left on her body. He could hear her groaning...

Cassie tries to reach her head, but a pain twinge on her right shoulder.

"I will take you to the hospital," he said. He's about to shout to call Jing when Cassie stops him.

"Shun, no... I am fine," she told him despite the pain registered over her face.

He was stunned for a moment. What is this? Did he hear correctly? Does he need to hit Cassie's head to make her call his name?

Now he doesn't know whether to smile comfortingly or laugh amusingly. It looked like she needed to hit her head first to make her say his name. 

"Boss!"

Rudolf and Daichi rush to the living room after hearing the boss shout loudly.

"Missy!" Daichi yelled, seeing her lying on the floor and broken vases scattered all over the floor.

Jing and the two bodyguards who followed him entered the front door.

"Boss, what happened?" Jing asked.

"How was your head?" he asked her, his voice full of concern.

"I'm fine. It's not that hurting much," she answered.

Shun carried her carefully and gently, putting her down on the long sofa.

"Which other parts hurt? How about your foot?" he asks worriedly.

He saw how her right leg flung toward the dresser after gliding out. He examines her foot, and Cassie moans in pain when he holds her ankle. It was now slightly swollen.

"Who spilled the water on the floor?" Shun asks the present people that gather around.

Rudolf glared at Daichi, pointing at him as the suspect.

"Eh... Don't look at me like that, Rudolf! I was about to mop the wet floor when you urged me to cut the onions! I'm sorry, boss! I do really want to wipe it out!"

Daichi kneels on the floor, begging. "Missy, I am very sorry."

Cassie was a bit surprised by Daichi's action.

"No. Mr. Daichi, it's alright... it's not your fault." she was astounded by how he kneeled in front of her to ask forgiveness. She does see he was sincerely worried about her. She smiled.

"Missy..."

"What are you waiting for? Go and get some ice packs." Shun commanded in a solemn tone.

Daichi knew that Shun was trying to control his anger. "I will go get them now, boss!" He got up and ran to the kitchen.

"How about the food?" she asked after she remembered they were in the middle of cooking. 

"I'll go finish cooking before they burn," Rudolf offers.

"I'll go get a mop, boss... you two, go back to your posts," said Jing. Then he commanded the two bodyguards. They nodded, then left.

Jing went to the back of the villa to get a mop from the servant's quarters where they are staying now.

Observing these men running around the house left a great impression on her. 

Cassie was astounded at how these men worked like they are customary to do things together. For example, Rudolf, who was in the kitchen finishing what Shun was preparing, Mr. Jing is now mopping the floor, and Daichi is assisting Shun if he needs something to tend to her bruises.

Shun softly massages her right foot, sometimes sharp pain cramps that she could kick her foot.

"You need to see a doctor," Shun suggested, his voice is full of concerns. "Your head needs to be examined as well," he added.

"Okay, but it is night now; the clinic won't accept night check-ups," she told him.

"What?" No 24 hours hospital will check the outpatient. Shun is still surprised even though he already realizes that this is just a tiny island.

What a hard life people had on this island? Including Cassie, especially her, many things were running inside his head.

"Cassie!?" A scream from the main door.

"Joanna," she smiled at her.

"What the heck had happened to you!?" she asked worriedly, but her father grabbed her and glared at her.

"Good evening, Mr. Crow," Ruben Chang greeted his new boss. He then bowed while pinching his daughter on the waist to do the same.

Joanna then remembered to bow, embarrassed of her action earlier... Of course, she was shocked seeing Cassie patting an ice pack to her head, then an Adonis massaging her foot."What happens to you?" Joanna whispered this time.

"When you texted that you were on your way, I ran outside to wait at the gate, but I slipped on the floor," she explains.

"Then it's my fault!?" Joanna blurts out.

"Silly. No one's fault."

"Then who spilled the water on the floor!?" That's not a whisper anymore.

"Ahem..." Daichi clears his throat, then whistles and pretends to arrange the photo frames on the wall.

"I think I know now who's the suspect," Joanna whispers at her once again. Cassie giggles.

"Boss, dinner is ready," Rudolf announced.

Joanna, who leans at Cassie on the sofa, looks up to see the man that spoke. Her mouth dropped, seeing what a beautiful man owns a beautiful manly voice.

"Bring over the food here," Shun ordered.

Rudolf nodded. Joanna's eyes sparkle hearing about dinner. It was the reason she came over! 

What a pleasure to taste the food prepared by handsome men! 

* * *

Food lay in front of them; Cassie and Joanna sighed in satisfaction. The food may be just pasta, vegetable salad, macaroni, and toasted garlic bread, but it was like they were eating at an Italian restaurant. 

The food Cassie had eaten earlier during lunch was good, but having the cuisine Shun makes for dinner is like the best in the world.

Joanna helps out to clean the kitchen and wash the plates. Shun brought Cassie to her bedroom, and again he checked the bruises she got. Then Shun realized that she couldn't move her right shoulder. 

"You ask Joanna's help to check your shoulder and back if you did not get some bruises there as well." 

Cassie nodded. He wanted to check them himself, but he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable with him.

She rolled her pants to check her knee, and a big bruise now swelled. Shun sighed, upset registered on his face.

"You really need to see a doctor tomorrow."

She nodded. "Okay."
