Women's Critical Period

Lunch Break.Shun picked up his sister and brought Blaire to a Japanese Steakhouse.Later on, Daichi and Kier joined them.They talked about random stuff that is not related to their work, but Blaire frequently glances at her brother. His moods seem often changing lately.There are days he almost throws his employees out of his floor-ceiling window, but then he's in a good mood later on. Also, there is a day he wanted to kill someone, but then he was grinning before the day ended.And so, she wanted to take this opportunity to ask him. "Ahem... brother Shun.""Hmm? What is it, Blaire?""How was your meeting last night with President Gibb?" she asked bravely. She has a feeling that Shun's bad mood today has been about last night's dinner meeting, and she was right. Shun's face frowns and heaves a furious sighed."He pulls out his investments towards the Empire Dragon Solaris project.""Oh..." That is a huge deal, Blaire thought."Then there is something the two of you do not agree with, which made him back out like that?" She's curious about the reason."Yeah. But I was the one who did not agree with him. He wanted me to marry her daughter and let the two companies merge.""He's crazy!" Blaire blurted."That's exactly what I told him.""It's the year 2020, who wants an arranged marriage to this time around?" Daichi disagrees with the idea."In the business world maybe," Kier joined the conversation."Now, what will happen? Does the construction of the hotel will pause?"Shun's gaze darkened, but he quickly hid it. However, Blaire caught it already. He's concerned with something, and she could sense that it worries him greatly."No. After the show, we will resume what we had planned. We could still begin the construction, at the same time, look for more investors for the project."Blaire knew it. He won't delay the project. He will push it no matter what because he has reason to."I have numbers of willing investors, but I am just very careful," Shun added."I know you are." Blaire smiled at her brother.They went on eating when Kier received a series of messages. He read the texts, then his forehead began twitching, black lines showing on his forehead. He seems upset while replying to that person. They observe casually.He seems to argue with the person who sent him the text messages. Shun, Blaire, and Daichi looked at each other and looked like it was serious because Kier began dialing his phone."Don't you dare to miss my house even a single drop!" he yells over his phone."I have a meeting at one o'clock!""It is traffic! I can't return home quickly!""What!? Don't you dare!""Have you forgotten?""Don't you try!""Why are you so stubborn!?""Can't you wait!?""Don't you ever think about it!"The three people he shared with the table listened to him amusingly. What they knew, no one who could make Kier work up in an argument. The person on the other line seems won't back down no matter what. No one ever won against him.Shun and Daichi stare at each other. They already have an idea who it is, and Blaire notices it. She began suspecting that it looked like she missed something, and she wasn't told about it."Okay, fine! I will think of a way! What?"Kier is backing down? The three of them gaze at each other once more. That's a record-breaker. Because Kier just let someone win against him when it is someone he cared very much.He heaved a furious sigh after he ended the call. He looked up and saw his companion looking at him like, waiting for him to share his issues."Don't ask me or force me to talk.""How could we help you if you won't talk?" Daichi questions him."Yeah." Blaire agreed.Kier meets Blaire's gaze. He argued a moment inside his head, but he had no other choice but to ask a woman's help. He sighed before he began sharing his issues. "All right. Jean having a problem now..."Blaire made a surprising reaction. But not her brother and Daichi… So then, these two knew already? Her lips played a teasing smile."It is not what you are thinking, Blaire," Kier rolled his eyes."Then what? Looks like I am the only one who knew nothing here!" she childishly said it."Okay." Kier looks around them first, before he begins telling Blaire about Jean."Wow." She's amazed after hearing everything. In her point of view, it was like a love story drama."Well... she is, I mean she said she is bleeding now so...""What!? What kind of bleeding?" Daichi asked like an innocent one."Really?" Blaire teases him. He laughs."Okay. I'll go," she volunteered."Really?" Relief showed on his face."Yeah. This is a women's problem, and so a woman will solve it.""I'll drive you," Daichi offers."That's the best thing to do," Shun agreed."Okay. Thanks."Blaire struck his back. "What are you talking about, brother? Who are you? We aren't friends just yesterday, you know?" Blaire cheered him up.That's crazy. Kier thought, but he is grateful to these people.* * *After they finished their lunch, Daichi and Blaire immediately drove towards Kier's pad. They stopped by in a convenience store to buy sanitary pads. Blaire thinks if Jean has a feminine wash, so she also picks one and some stuff like a wet flushable tissue for hygiene care.When they arrived in the building, Blaire spotted a few familiar faces. One is sweeping, the other one is cutting the grass, and one is performing an impressive art to a tree while doing a Wushu Kung-Fu.They are all Daichi's men. She glances at him, and he was just whistling while escorting her towards the 10th floor. She shook her head.
