Keifer's POV
"Goodbye Singapore, goodbye." Honey said while waiving his hand as if there's someone waiving back at her. "Who are you waving to?" Keigan asked her. "Nothing. Just practice." She answered. She continued walking to board the private plane. She was the only one we were waiting for. "Why did we take her with us again?" Keigan asked me. "We didn't take her with us. She came of her own accord." We both shook our heads. She didn't do anything else but walk around and look at her phone. Boarding the private plane, all I could hear was the sound of the camera. Honey is taking selï¬es in different angles. I need a drink. As soon as I sat down, Keigan immediately handed me the papers. I sighed. I can't believe I have to do this. What's worse is that board members want a report from my trip. I have to explain why we should consider this company's proposal. "This is tiring!" I shouted before putting down the papers. "You can rest in the next country." Keigan said and picked up the papers that I almost threw away. "Where's the next country?" Honey asked. She's acting like a tourist. She only just decided to go on a trip when she had so much time. She couldn't study. After attending 3 semesters in college, she decided to stop. She said she's too smart for her chosen profession. "Home." Keigan answered shortly. "We're visiting three companies â€"." "Make it four." Both of them turn in silent. "Are you planning to add that company?" Honey asked. "I personally send them an email to let them know." I said and while looking outside the window. Neither of them said a word to them. They both sit and fasten their seatbelts. I did the same before closing my eyes to sleep. Maybe I should pay my Jay-jay a visit. I badly miss her so much that I'm ready to move the whole Philippines beside London. Or maybe move the whole London beside the Philippines. Whichever it is. As long as I can move our country. I don't know how long the trip will be but I woke up when Honey suddenly screamed. "You're such an annoying guy!" She said and stood up. My forehead creased when I realized that we already landed. I looked for Keigan whose currently reading something from his laptop. "What time is it?" I asked while removing my seatbelt. " You should wake me up." "You're sleeping so well. I don't wanna interrupt your peaceful sleep ." He answered without looking at me. I looked at Honey as she opened the door and the plane slowly got off. She's holding her phone on one hand and her expensive bag on the other. "Here." Keigan said and handed his laptop to me. "All the data and information Fer Corp can use." I raised an eye brow but he just smiled at me. "Obviously, I can't stop you. So I'll help you." For some reason I feel relief with his decision. I don't want to argue with him anymore, especially now that I know his situation. I will talk to his doctor soon after these meetings. "Thank you." I said and he nodded before getting back to his seat. I approached his laptop and read all the data from Fer Corp. I already did a background check before but this data that he found is more useful. I also spent about half an hour reading it. I handed the laptop back to Keigan and headed to the CR to get ready. I also changed my clothes. After getting ready I look at myself in the mirror. I want to look good when Jay-jay and I meet. I also need to control myself. I might kiss him immediately when we meet. I bit my lips while thinking about her. I got out right after ï¬xing my necktie. Keigan is waiting for me while looking at his wristwatch. "Lets go." I said and he nodded. We got off the plane one after the other. A service vehicle is already waiting for us. As soon as we got on board, Keigan immediately asked the previous companies we had been to. I had a little chit-chat about it. If feel amaze while hearing my brother's opinion. He is really smart. If he was the eldest, he probably wouldn't have had any problems with all this. "You're not listening." He said that put my senses back. "I am." "What did I say then?" "You're not listening." I answered and he chuckled. He just helped me study the stats of Fer Corp. That's how we spent the entire trip, until we reached our destination. Here we go. Someone open the car door for us. I get out of the car followed by Keigan. As we entered the building, the employees were lined up to greet us. And of course, Angelo was present. "Welcome to Fernandez Corporation, Mr. Watson." He said and offered his hand. I smirked before accepting his hand for a handshake. "What's with the ormality? Mr Fernandez." He gripped my hand tightly I almost whimpered in pain. But if he's good at hiding his emotions, so am I. If he doesn't remember, I'm a product of his evil guidance. "You look pale. Don't you want to rest for a while?" He asked still gripping my hand. "No. But I would prefer if you could give me some medicine." I also gripped his hand. He smiled at me. "Sure." "Thank you. I would like to have a Jasper Jean. I know you have one or me." I said and smiled. His smile faded and his grip on my hand tightened even more . "Yes, I have a Jasper Jean, but it's not meant for you." He let go of me before he took a deep breath. He turned to his secretary and whispered. I simply held my hand. It was good that I took off the cast before traveling. I know he will hit my arms when he got a chance. "Would you like to have a tour?" He asked me after talking to his secretary. "I would like to talk to you. In private." I said in a serious tone. He signaled his employees and they all scattered. Some get inside the elevator and probably going back to their places. While the others stay at the lobby. He signaled me to follow him. I followed him and so did Keigan and his secretary. We entered the open elevator. His secretary pressed the top floor button. "Sir, the conference room is ready to use now." Angelo glanced at my brother. "Follow my secretary, he will bring you to conference room." Keigan looked at me for permission. I nodded shortly as an answer. The elevator opened and we got out one after another. Although Keigan and Angelo's secretary walk to the other side while us on the opposite. We went straight to his office. We stopped a few feet away from his executive table. "Have you caught the kidnapper?" I ask. He shook his head. "No. But Yuri already sent someone for investigation." "Why aren't you the one sending it? Yuri's men are too slow ." "Because it's against him! I can't intervene because it's between their clans!" "What do you want me to do then? Wait until someone kidnaps my girl again?" His forehead creased. "Jay-jay is not your girl. Stop giving her label." "Coming from the person who labeled her girl as bestfriend." I mocked him but he obviously didn't buy it. His serious face is intimidating but his eyes are full of sorrows. "Ion is in good condition. She's planning to travel abroad before continuing her residency." He wanted to ask so I went ahead of him. He nodded shortly before walking toward his table. He took the block velvet box on top of it. It's big and has a gold print of the group's logo. "This is from the group. Your birthday gift." He said and handed it over to me. I accepted it and slowly opened the box. It was a gun but not an ordinary one. My initials are also engraved on it. "W-what's with the gun?" "That should be your welcome gift to the group but Schnee was so overwhelmed by your ability that she wanted me to give it to you early." I shook my head before smirking. I close the box and give it back to Angelo. "I preferred accepting it when I'm an official member of the group." He took it and put it on the coffee table next to him. "Are you sure? You might need it or my next task." "What would that be?" "Ryosuke Sato is a big pain in our ass. Get rid of him." I stop and try to understand the word that he uses. He wants me to get rid of that Sato. "I thought you couldn't interfere." He raised a brow. "And you want me to kill him?" "Then kill him silently or get rid of him when he's alone so no one will know." "Why me? Why don't you do it?" "I already have a problem with the Hanamitchi. It might get worse if I interfere in their mess." He raised a brow at me. "Are you complaining? I warned you from the beginning." I breathed heavily. "No. It's justâ€"." "Don't you dare complain Keifer! Sign it! You are risking Jay- jay's life here, double time!" "I am not complaining! Give me time and it will be done." He came up to me and pointed at me. "Make sure you will." He passed me and left the office. I just stood there. I can't believe I have to kill someone. This is against my will but if Jay-jay's life is at risk I am more than willing to get rid of those who dare to hurt her. I followed Angelo. I saw his secretary waiting for me. "Sir, they're in the conference room waiting for you." She said and walked before me. I followed her until we reached the conference room. They made me sit at the end where the Demon was next to me. I briefly spoke to the board members and major stock holders of the company. They were few compared to what I expected. The managers began to present the company's stats, their plans for the future and what I will get for investing on their future projects. The conversation also lasted or more than three hours. We closed the discussion by informing them of my interest with the company. Everyone in the conference room thanked us and shook hands before we were allowed to leave. We were already in the elevator when I noticed Keigan texting. "Who's that?" I asked without looking at his phone. "Honey. He's downstairs." I shook my head. He always disappears. He disappeared last night too. He said he had a date but he came back looking disappointed . It was like something didn't come up in the conversation. When I arrived at the ground floor, the other board members immediately approached me. I don't know what they exactly want from me. I was in the middle of a conversation when I heard someone shout. From the most expected person that I know. "GET OUT OF THERE, KEIFER!!" Tss... Profanity. We almost turned in his direction at the same time. I saw him turn around and jump to the other side of the couch. "I'm so sorry Mr Watsonâ€"." I cut him off by starting walking. I was planning to go see him later but it seemed like we would meet early. "Who is that?" "Please someone call a security." "The youth are really here." "What a ï¬lthy mouth." I heard them say while I walk toward her. "Where is she?" I ask when I saw few employees standing near the couch. "She's gone." One of them said. Another employee shows up in front of me. "I'm sorry Mr. Watson. Believe me, we're not employees." I push her aside slightly to look for Jay-jay. I badly want to see her but these people are blocking me. Just please show up. "It doesn't matter. Your business proposal won't be affected . I just don't like hearing inappropriate words. Maybe I'll make her pay with those profanity." I looked around the area when I noticed the shadow moving. I was about to approach her but Keigan suddenly came up to me and handed me his phone. A message from Clyde saying that the Oldest was rushing to the hospital and we need to come back as soon as possible. "Brother! We have to leave. We're going to be late for the flight." He sounds worried. "Okay." I said and turned but I leave a message that she will surely hear. "Maybe next time. Jay-jay." ++
