"The reason you did not take her to the show is because of this, right?"
Shun did not respond. He heaved a sighed before he continued.
"The Kang's, and Cassandra should not meet no matter what. Not yet. I already send someone inside to watch The Kang's movements."
"Also, Landon Young did call his wife's half brother who's living in France. Martin Castillo was asked to look after Cassandra if there is something happens to them. He was also told to adopt her and change her name to hide. But there are times she forgets to keep her real name a secret. That girl was just fond of her real name." A smile showed on his lips that make his friends dropped their mouth for a second, as he regains his composure fast, and wears a serious face again.
"Martin knew about the UKG shares, good thing he never shares it to his wife. But Lydia learned how Cassie has a lot of inheritance from other resources. When Martin dies, Lydia changes back Cassandra's real name for her to claims all her insurances in the US."
"And that leads to the attention with the Kang's. It is not yet the time for Cassie to know. Her life will always be in danger," Shun added.
The men in front of him keeping silent. This man is their friend for a long time, but he still holds a big secret. That's what they've thought.
"Shun, how did you know all of this?" Kier who often curious about everything, can't keep his silence not to ask the questions he wanted to have answers.
"When I was in the US, I meet someone that leads me to the story of Young's Family... UKG is one of many companies the Crow invested. It is important for me to know everything since I am the next CEO."
Of course, he is. They knew him at that part of his personality, he won't miss any details.
"You do have plans, already, don't you?" Rudolf who asked this time.
"Yes. That's why Kier, I wanted you to find a buyer to that house in Hawaii. Negotiate the G Group to sell their shares."
"You want more share in UKG company?"
"No. Invest Cassie's money to buy the 15% shares of the G Group," Shun replied to Kier's query.
"In this way, Cassie would own 50% of the shares. She could have full holdings of the company." Rudolf's conclusion.
"Yes. I want to talk to Daichi as soonest. I have an important job to discuss with him."
Not long have passed, the office door opens and Daichi steps inside like was out of his mind. He quietly sits in the available seat. Everyone shocked by his silence which they were used to his noisy entrance and talking loudly
"What happens to you?" they asked him.
Surprisingly, he just keeps silent in the next moment. He still wearing that black sunglasses, and Rudolf took it off and expose his eyes. They all wanted to burst out laughing. Daichi's eyes are burning red. It was like he was from crying a barrel of tears.
"Does Riley dump you again?" They tease him.
Daichi began crying once more. Everyone was dumbfounded to his actions.
"Sheesh... can you just tell us what happened to you?"
"Ra... a..."
"What?!" they were impatient.
"Riley... she... she... she proposed to me..."
"Huh???"
"Wait, are you saying?"
"She said, she will retire soon, and she wants us to get married then."
"Brother Daichi! Congrats!" Matt jumps on him.
"Hey, bro! Congrats!" Meisha patted his back. The rest also said the same.
"That's great. Just perfect for my plans. Congratulations." Shun said.
"Huh? Wait, did I missed something?"
"Yeah. It's huge."
"Wait! Why you didn't wait for me!" Daichi now gets back to his real self.
"Alright, just read the reports Matt investigated."
They waited for him to finish reading the information.
"Wait? Then? It means?"
"I want Riley on the island."
"Okay, but she wanted to retire now?"
"I want her to keep an eye on Cassie as a tutor. Cassie must be prepared for College. We could use it as an excuse."
"Ah... Okay, boss. I understand. But I still can't believe everything."
Shun nodded. "Prepare to go to the island after you and Riley take care of your wedding details."
"It is fine, boss. Riley and I could make plans while we are on the island."
"That's good then. I want you all to watch out, Cassandra and the Kang's should never crossroad."
"Is it the reason you offer a contract with the Japan company?"
"Yes. Cass..." Shun did not finish talking when suddenly the door opens.
"Blaire? What's wrong?" he asked his sister.
"Brother, it's Cassie." Blaire chases her breath.
"What's the matter, Blaire?"
"I was in the Reception Counter talking to a friend I saw in the lobby. I got to hear our Receptionist talking about a prank call they received an hour ago."
"What prank call?"
"They've mentioned the name Cassie so I asked them what kind of a call they've received. The receptionist said, a girl looking for you, she wanted to talk to you. But since we often received this kind of call, the receptionist ignores it. But the girl said her name is Cassie and the girl also said Master Shun calls me Cassandra."
Shun has a bad feeling about it. He quickly took his phone on his table and dialed Cassie's number. It was out of reach.
"What exactly the call!?" Shun yells. He realizes what he'd done. "I'm sorry, I just..." He sighed.
"Daichi call someone from Hiryuu Island. The class still going on."
"Okay, I'll call Thomas!"
"Let me check the call records," Rudolf suggested. He created that device to record all the calls that get through to the hotel.
"Better idea."
They all get out of the office that made the other employees wonder what's going on.
They entered the Monitoring Room and quickly Rudolf browse the call from an hour ago. They've listened to several calls until that familiar voice playing on. Shun feels like, a part of him is waning.
