What A Bad Luck

The following days been hectic for the couple. Azalea was finishing all her pending tasks while Jack is juggling between work and investigation. But they don't forget to communicate with each other. Jack always whined at her when she forgot to call him or he won't eat when she forgot to send them food. That's why Cori becomes her assistant for that task alone. And he complains alot.

Azalea went out for a business meeting and decided to drop by the mall to buy something special for Cori. She felt pity for leaving him a lot of work from the past week and he have a lot of task now a days but she hasn't show him any gratitude yet. She was thinking of a nice gift for him and for others as well for giving their best at their work.

She was walking at the upper hall of the mall where expensive products and rich people always go. Her attention was caught by a group of crowd of socialites sorrounding some men. She thought there are probably some celebrities shopping in the place too and those women happened to noticed them. She ignored the crowd and went on her way when she heard a man calling for her name.

"Azalea wait up!". A man's voice is coming from the crowd of people.

She looks back and tried to see who the person is, and to her surprise it was Drako Torrennos.

"What a bad luck". She mumbled to herself. She tried to ignored and scape from him but he is a quick lad. He catch up on her.

"Hey you're here!". His face is beaming with excitement while looking at her. He can't believed he will see her today. What a perfect timing.

"Yeah, because this is a public place although the product here is expensive I do have money to buy some". She sarcastically answered him.

"I know that, but you need to come". He grabs her hand and drag her to the crowded place where he came from.

Azalea tried to free herself from his grip by shaking her arms off him but she failed and his grips hurts her.

The crowd was cut to half and a way opens for them when Drako's bodyguards push the people aside. They wondered who was the woman Drako was holding. She looks like a nerdy old maid, they thought.

"Excuse me ladies, but you really need to go". Drako asked them in his most polite and charming way and the sound of disappointment echoes in the air. His hand is still holding Azalea's arm not knowing he is already hurting her.

Khilla and Raider are frowning at him. They were enjoying the scenery of foreign woman in front of them and their younger brother shoo them away. Their eyes went to the woman he is with and they are wondering who is the nerdy old maid he was holding.

"Peace at last". Drako sigh in relief and looked at Azalea who is now throwing dagger look at him. He noticed her arm is very red because of her grip. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you have a very sensitive skin". He became worried. If his grip leaves a mark Jack Shin will hunt him.

"Who is she?". Raider becomes curious. He knows his little brother well and he is fond of beautiful woman but he is holding a nerdy looking girl tightly like he don't want her to scape him.

"Ah, let me introduce you to Azalea, Jack Shin's wife". He is smiling wide at her. "Azalea this is Khilla and Raider". Drako stopped his introduction and just look at her.

"Is that all?". She asked him lazily. She is getting annoyed at him but she remained calm.

"Where are you going, are you alone?". His voice had a hint of concern and innocence. But he ignored her question. He looks at her and see a dead seriousness on her face.

His two brothers are busy with their phone. They look like they are messaging some important people. Drako felt his phone vibrate and he took it out. He got a lot of messages coming from the two men beside him.

( Drako : I thought you said Jack Shin's wife looks like a Goddess : Khilla)

( Drako : Are you sure she is a daredevil racer?.... She looks like a nerdy twerp : Raider )

( Drako: If you are just pulling our legs I will cut your allowance in half : Khilla)

( Drako : If you really disappoint me I will ask grandfather, not to let you drive again, ever : Raider)

Drako ignored their whining and threats he knows better. He knows the real Azalea because he have seen her true beauty and skills. He just gave them a smirk.

"So did you changed your mind about my proposal?". He will show them how hard to get Azalea's attention. He will use her car as a topic.

"I already told you I am not interested. If you want to make business, talk to my husband". She firmly said to him. Her eyes are squinting and she is showing him a hint of annoyance.

Drako looks at his older brothers. They know about the car and the deal he wants to make. Both of them are also interested in the car their little brother showed them. They think it has a very interesting blue print.

"Would you like to join us for a cup of tea or coffee?". Khilla makes the first move. He shows her his killer smile and his eyes are like telling her that she is the only woman in the world that he would like to look at.

"No thanks, I'm a bit busy". She said directly to him without a blink.

Khilla fell into silence and looked at Drako who is suppressing his laughter. He frowned at him and he just shrug his shoulder.

"How about we accompany you while you are looking around. I bet you haven't found what your looking for?". Raider looks like a very trustworthy person, a skill he always use to lure women everywhere. He knows no one can resist his charm and presence when he is being nice to them.

"I can manage. Besides there's a lot of helper I can ask for if I need one". She was looking straight to his eyes and noticed he have an ash mauve colored eyes. "I like the color of your eyes". She said candidly to him.

"Well thank you. I'm glad you like them". He felt proud about his eyes it's one of his greatest assets.

"I need to go". She saw Drako wants to protest again. "No!". She turned around and leave after saying it.

The three men just looked at her back fading and didn't say anything. Drako's laughter is the first thing that broke their silence.

"Stop laughing you are so annoying". Khilla wants to strangle his little brother's neck. He's never been ignored by any woman before. She was the first one.

"You should have seen your face when she rejected you". Drako is holding his stomach while laughing hard at his older brother's fate. He knows how angry he was being rejected by a female species.

"How special do you think she is?". Raider becomes curious. He heard how protective Jack Shin towards his wife. But why is she alone today. He wonders.
