"What are you doing here, Vice President?!"
Tan looks vigilant the moment the Vice President appear while the three felt a bit easy since the rumor said that Treasure and Vice were like a cat and dog, always fighting against each other at every opportunity.
"Vice President, Treasurer Tan were bullying us using his authority!"
"You're lying! You're the one who's bullying!"
This shout attract the attention of Tan who didn't bother to look at the girl being harrased, and his eyes almost leaped out while his breath stagnate for a moment.
Tan look at Shane, and his face instantly become red and when their eyes met again, he instantly look away because he have this sudden strange feeling welling up inside him.
He didn't know why, but when he look at Shane, he have this strange desires. This desires where making him lose his calm and always get entranced by her, that he just want to look at her all the time, as he found Shane face so alluring.
Tan's heartbeat pound faster, especially seeing her legs and figure.
The Vice President also look at Shane and was also instantly charmed by her beauty, since it's not weaker compared to Hailey, their most said beautiful.
And when looking at Tan, who become different than earlier, a sudden discovery make him grinned.
"Oh, what a beautiful girl. Did you say this three lied?"
"Yes, Vice President. If not for Treasurer Tan, they would already molest me!"
"Vice... She's.. she's lying!"
"You three, you still want to lie! How come you act like this, and even to this beauty?! You three will be punished and 250 points will be deducted, you understand?!"
The three walk dejectedly and regret their action, leaving the three behind.
Shane then pick up her stuff and look again at Tan, who acts now like before, and become confused, while she became a bit shy as well.
"May I ask the name of this beautiful girl?"
"Uhm.. I'm.. I'm.."
"Vice, what do you think you're doing?!"
"Why? Did I do something wrong?"
"You! You're.... you're obviously trying to hook her up!"
Shane hearing and seeing Tan act like this, unknowingly became shy again and the redness that was fading away, becoming even more darker.
"Does it look like that to you, Treasurer.. Tan? And what if I do, what is it to you? Are you her boyfriend?!"
"You! Yes! I'm her boyfriend! So don't you dare touch her!"
"Oh, does it? Is it true, Miss Shane?"
Tan look anxious now, and look at Shane with such eyes, but looking at her making him uneasy and unsure, so he look away again.
"Uhm.. Yes."
Tan was taken aback and his heart almost leaped and a sudden yearning for it to be true appeared.
"Oh, so it's true. What a pity. I like Miss Shane but too bad, Tan got ahead of me."
The two were left behind and the air instantly become awkward.
"Wha..what are you doi---doing here?"
"Shopping. Vie asked us to go shopping here."
"Well, about what I said... It's not.."
"I know. You're trying to protect me, right?"
"Yea--yeah. Vice President was a bad playboy unlike President."
"Th--thanks for that, well, although I really don't like to see you at all, but since you help me, I would give this to you, as a thank."
Shane took an exquisite pen that almost cost Shane 1200 points just for that.
"No.. I can't... accept it."
"Just accept it."
Shane although embarrassed still give it to Tan before walking away quickly since when she's with Tan the atmosphere around her always change and her gaze subconsciously always went to Tan.
It make her feel so uncomfortable and her body always tensed up.
Seeing Shane already leaving, a strong sense of reluctance instantly flared up inside Tan, so he chase Shane.
"Well, Shane--- exploring alone--- you see.. was a bit dangerous for you, so... How.. how about I go with you. I also--- get lost and split with my friends, so I'm-- free anyways. Let me be your tour guide."
"What you said makes sense. Well, okay."
"Uhm... doesn't--- that look heavy?! Would you-- like some help?"
Shane was now feeling so uncomfortable and her heart was being stirred.
"Well, if you don't mind."
"Of course, I don't mind."
Tan took almost all the bags Shane have, if not for Shane being embarrassed and took at least five bags.
The two went to a restaurant first and ordered a meal, as Tan treat Shane, making Shane felt strange but it's still enough to make her blushed and look at Tan in a different way.
After the two finished their meal, they continue to explore the rest of the mall, and as time passed by, the two loosen up to each other, Tan becoming more braver and calmer while Shane felt comfortable and an unknown happiness filling her that although she don't want it, she can't stop it.
The two have fun and buy another more stuff until Shane decided to go to the place they decided to meet.
"Uhm, I'm fine here. Thanks again."
She can't denied that she felt moved by Tan as she didn't expect that the Tan she think of, would be able to act like this.
It making her heart finally pound abnormally.
Tan felt the same way as her, and the desires grew strongly as well, especially seeing her now.
Tan felt so reluctant and if it was a dream he would not like to wake up and indulge more and more.
"Uhm.. Shane, if.. if it's.. fine... Can.. can we exc--exchange phone numbers?"
Tan used all his courage to ask since this question was a bit uncommon as both of them were from different faction, so why would they need to exchange numbers?
"Well, okay."
After Tan leave her since she make him go away, her senses came back to her and instantly blame herself.
"Ah! Why did I exchange numbers with him?! He's from Black Faction, ah! Damn this! What did I think that?!"
