CHAPTER 21: A DEADLY COMBO

Papapapapa claps resonated inside the cafe, all the workers had since dropped whatever they were doing the moment Jason had joined her to sing the chorus, they couldn't help but just watched the couple as they performed their duet, this was the scene that Raymond saw when he came back with her snacks, he didn't say a word and just stayed on the side to watch them.

Assistant Ju had also come back with the clothes but he was struck dumb and stupefied by what he saw, it was just too romantic that tears streamed down his eyes. He would never have thought in his wildest dream that his boss had such a romantic side to him. He was the perfect definition of a lady killer. A deadly combo indeed they both were.

The couple burst out laughing when they realised what they had just done. They had completely broken free and untwined all their tangled up emotions.

Raymond was the first to speak, wowww! If i had known I'd see such a beautiful show today i would have cleaned up the lenses of my camera. My little flower, if someone had told me that there would come a day when you'll be so romantic i would never have believed it. You are truly worthy of your name Daisy. Teacher is proud. He said to Ru lan

Then he added, i guess i got the answer to my question, no introductions necessary, you have already told all of us present who your man is, this time he was looking at Jason.

Ru lan smiled bashfully and smiled. Then she hugged Jason's arm and said, Ray Ray, this is Jason or Li Jaesun, My boyfriend. Jason this is Raymond Ray, my brother from another mother.

Jason and Raymond both shook hands and then went back to the seat to sit down. Jason was already dancing to an unknown jam in his mind when Ru lan introduced him as her boyfriend. In fact, words could not truly express how he felt and it was proving more difficult to keep his composure, so he just plastered a huge grin on his face. He was truly happy for his dream had come true and right now, nothing else mattered. If he had to dress like a clown to dance in the market square, in order to impress her, he wouldn't mind but now he just had to sing a few songs from an old music and she totally accepted him.

At this point, Assistant Ju walked up to them, Boss, he greeted.

Jason nodded in response. He noticed his assistant was still standing beside him so he frowned and looked up at him. Do you need an invitation to join us Ju Long? Jason asked him.

No sir, i just wanted to say you're my idol, he was wearing a big smile.

Noted. Jason said without any emotion, it didn't sound like he was the one that just sang a romantic song for his lover a moment ago. He had reverted back to his usual cold self.

Ahem ahem! Ru lan coughed, she saw that

Jason's assistant was looking at him with variant of stars glittering in his eyes, he was just like a little fan girl who had just seen their superstar idol for the first time, it was like he could pounce on Jason anytime if given the chance, so she didn't care if the assistant was straight or gay, or if he was just an assistant, all she knew was that she will not let anyone, male or female fancy or take a single liking to her man. She was glaring at Assistant Ju like she wanted to cut him into a million pieces.

As he heard the sound, assistant Ju then remembered that they were not alone and he didn't know what he had done to deserve such a glare from his boss's new girlfriend. So he thought he should introduce himself, so he did just that.

Hello Miss Ru, i am Ju long, Mr Li's assistant. He said and bowed slightly as a form of respect.

Oh! You are? Ru lan asked. She didn't wait for him to answer before saying, i wouldn't have known if you hadn't introduced yourself assistant Ju, one would think you're my enemy and you just deliberately want to make me target you. Do you want me to target you Mr Ju long? She asked with utmost seriousness and so much coldness emanating from her stares.

Assistant Ju was frozen to the spot, he didn't know what he had did wrong and he didn't even know what to ask, so he just looked at his boss for help, but Jason was just resting his back on the chair with arms folded across his chest, all he was looking at was Ru Lan, how could he notice an insignificant thing such as his assistant. Assistant Ju said a silent prayer in his heart, he had already given up hope in his boss.

He decided to clarify things so he just asked, Miss Ru?

I see you don't understand, Mr Ju, i thought i should go the subtle route, but turns out i should explain properly. You see Assistant Ju long, i don't like it when people fix their eyes on things that belong to me for longer than necessary, not that i want to threaten you or anything but so many people have lost their eyes for less, but since we are not well acquainted, i let it slide this one time, besides, I'll need you in the future to keep an eye on Jason and report to me in the future. That's the only reason you still have your eyes.

Assistant Ju was scared silly, and he didn't know what to say, he was wondering how the playful girl who was playing with words with his boss turned into this fierce female warrior, then he remembered the show they had watched today and how she had beaten up those villains earlier without breaking a sweat.

He was just looking at her like he was hypnotized by her glare, I... i... i.... he stammered, he couldn't even form proper words, the woman was telling him to keep an eye on his boss and report back to her, right in the presence of his boss and the man was just staring at her like a love struck fool.

So are you willing? She asked him

Jason decided to help him out a little, he really likes the fact that his woman's presence commanded respect and fear in his assistant. So he said...

You heard the lady Ju Long, you should keep an eye on me in the future and report diligently and truthfully... when he said that

Ru Lan who had asked (....)

Raymond who was still observing his little flower on the side (....)

Assistant Ju who suddenly had a brain freeze (....)

Ye...Ye... Yes ma'am Assistant Ju managed to say, and he rushed to leave the cafe. He couldn't take it anymore; he was so scared of what just happened that his brain needed time to re-organize his thought.

I think i need to go throw up, too much dog food. This is an eye opener even for me. This time it was Raymond who spoke. He had been watching from the start and now he knew there was no doubt that this is the man meant for their little flower. He had to go report to his boss and her sister. He bent down to tell her something in her ear before turning to leave. He said, you really are a Kelton, Daisy Brianna Kelton. It turns out you Keltons can make any man surrender. Then he looked at Jason and said, you're in for one H*ll of a ride boy. Then he turned and left.

Daisy just smiled, she rarely hears people call her by her full name, and it made her feel closer to her brother and sister, they are the only biological family she had left. She new she was going to tell Jason about her real identity someday but, today was not that day. She was going to enjoy all the sweetness that came along with been in a relationship, she was not going to leave anything to chance anymore. She planned to make this new relationship work, no matter what it took and as long as this man loved her, she was going to adore him for the rest of her life.

The seat was silent after everyone had left. She smiled at him then she said...

Too much? I think i scared the shit out of your assistant, He was shivering. I'm sorry. Ru Lan said with an apologetic look.

Nah! It was exciting to see Ju Long like that. I have never seen him that intimidated by anyone's stares or words to the extent that he couldn't retort.

Ru Lan started laughing... and Jason continued

Besides, you can do whatever you want with me whenever. He added the last part in his mind.

Thanks. She said. So where did you learn how to sing. You sounded pretty awesome earlier.

Mom loves music and singing is her favourite hobby, so she made me and my brother develop the same hobby.

Your brother? You mean Jun? She asked him...

You know Jaejun? Jason asked. His brother's name is Li Jaejun. He was surprised to know that that Daisy knew his brother.

Yup! She said and dipped her fork into the creamy cake to take a bite before answering Jason who was looking at her and waiting for her to continue.

He's my best friend. She said cheekily. When she saw the shock apparent on his face, she knew Mr Jealousy was rearing its ugly head once more. So she continued, and Li Mei, your cousin too. She said.

Jason's head was buzzing with too much information.
