Unpredictable

Busy, preparing her projects, Cassie's phone buzzed. She checks out the caller and her heart skips a beat while reading that four letters name flashing on the mobile phone screen.Nervously, she picks up her phone and swipes the green button after a long moment of calming her heartbeat."Hello?" Her voice is almost like a whisper."Cassandra? How are you?" the other line asked."Bro— brother Shun, I am fine."Shun did not speak for a moment. Cassie wonders why, but she heard a sighed from the other line. 'Did she do something her master doesn't like?' She cannot avoid asking herself."By the way, thank you for the food you wrapped for me.""Oh, you are welcome brother Shun. It is the least I could do.""What are you saying? Daichi told me you have to wake up very early in the morning to prepare them." He can't tell her it pleases him very much, more satisfied."Anyway, what are you doing today?" he asked her curiously."I was finishing my project, brother Shun... so I could submit it on Monday.""Have you eaten lunch already?""Oh, I will as soon as I am done with my project.""What? Then when that would be?"The other line seems frustrated. Cassie could sense that in Shun's voice."I think it will be done soon.""And when is that Cassandra?" Shun did not stop. "Go and have some lunch. You shouldn't skip a meal."Feeling helpless, Cassie gives up. She jumps off of her bed when auntie Ling knocks on her door. The woman brought her lunch upstairs."Oh, Auntie Ling brings some food to my bedroom," she told him."That's good." If only Cassie saw him, Shun smiled wide then thought auntie Ling deserved a raise."Okay, I will eat my lunch now." She announced for Shun to hang up the call. But she did not expect that he would keep the call connected."Hmm...this really tastes good. Where did you learn from?"Cassie stayed silent for a moment because she wondered if Shun was eating while making this call."Ah, I learned it from Mom..." After replying to him, she began filling her mouth too."Hmm... looks you perfected it already," Shun praises her."Ah... thank you, Brother Shun." If only Shun saw her now, her face flushed red for the compliment she heard."Looks like this food is perfect to eat with its slightly warmer temperatures.""Do you think so?" Cassie wasn't sure because she usually cooks a simple meal and eats right away when the food is done. "Okay," she giggles."Did you think I am only joking?""Oh, no. Warm or cold, I just eat the food either from left to right the other day I preheat or the food I make early in the morning before I go to school."Shun stayed silent and so Cassie wonders if she said wrong again."And from now on, you wouldn't eat leftover anymore," Shun asserted."But brother Shun, it's good that it's good to eat after being leftovers."She heard him laugh. "Okay, I agreed. I like leftovers too.""Oh, do you?" Cassie has been liking this light conversation over the phone while they are having lunch over.A half-hour passed, and she finished her lunch. She heard Shun say how full he was. She smiled. Although she is curious, she cannot dare to ask him when he could visit the island again. She sighed."What's wrong?" Shun asked.She forgets they were on the phone. Ah! How embarrassing!"Oh, it's nothing brother Shun," she can't think of any excuses as she can't tell him he misses the noises of the house or the presence of the men around. But what she misses most is how they all spoiled her."Are you sure?" Shun doesn't believe her."Yes. I am just thinking about the exam," she finally found an excuse."I see. Still having difficulties in math?""A bit, but I am learning a lot more now.""That's good."* * *SHUN'S POVThey continued talking over the phone after eating. He asks Cassandra about her study and other stuff."Have you already taken a lot of pictures with your phone?" he asked when he knocked on his office door.Vice President Lee peeks on the door and waves the folder he's holding. Shun gestured to him to come in."Oh really? That's great!"Vice President Lee dumbfounded while staring at his boss's smiling face. Shun raises his hand to receive the folder from him. He handed him the documents and stood in front of the President.What happens? This morning, the executives almost pissed on their pants receiving the lecture from the young president. Now, the most feared room on this 72 floors hotel has actually been warming up and the atmosphere is calmer. Vice President Lee got curious about who was on the other line."You should show me those photos."Vice President Lee continued listening to his boss talking on his phone. Who is this person who could lighten up the atmosphere around this young president?"Okay. You need to finish your project. Don't forget to send those photos. I'll call you back later."Shun turned off his phone and then put it down on his desk. He picks up the folder and begins flipping the reports Meisha emailed. The guy was on his quarterly inspection on their hotel base in Singapore."President Crow, it seems like your appearance is needed in Singapore."Shun raises his head and glares at him. Damn it. He triggered the mood swing of this dragon boss. Vice President Lee thought to himself."Then why don't you go instead? Bring your family if you want."Mr. Lee was shocked by the news he heard. It seems like he needs to have a checkup on his ear tomorrow. No. It is still Sunday by tomorrow."What are you waiting for, Vice President Lee? Shouldn't you start packing?"The middle-aged man's eyes grow bigger. His boss never jokes onto his employees."Ah! Yes, boss! I'll call my wife right away!" Mr. Lee bowed, then rushed outside. Happiness cannot contain inside his heart.Next week is their 25th wedding anniversary. He did not think of it anymore as he already saw how busy they will be especially with the President's mood in these passing two long weeks, he can't dare to ask for a few days' vacations.He also barely went home if not for his wife to come to visit sometimes to make him coffee in the morning inside his office. This president is truly unpredictable.
