"What took you so long?" Hera asked as Dein slumped in the chair beside her, feeling exhausted from all the puking and weirdness that happened.

"My stomach couldn't take all the food so I puked in the toilet for minutes and I also met a strange guy who I don't know but knows me for some reason that he didn't say." Hera gave out a confused expression at what Dein said.

"Is your tummy okay then? And did that guy do something to you?" she asked im concern.

"My stomach's fine, but the guy, he's so weird and he even asked me to make a deal with him." Dein answered and made a frustrated expression.

"Deal? What did he say?" Dein was about to answer Hera when she remembered the man mentioning about her revenge. Dein thought about it and decided to not mention it or else Hera will ask about the revenge, she's still not ready to open up to Hera. That information is too much, once Dein spills just one information, it will lead to a bigger one.

"Just...some weird things. Anyways he immediately left when I threatened him." Dein lied and Hera just nodded.

"Whoah!!" Dein and everyone's attention went to the person who shouted in surprise.

"What is it?" someone asked and Gill the guy who shouted showed his phone to everyone.

"The CEO of Carlton Co. is actually the owner of this hotel!" Everyone looked at his phone and they all had a surprised expression.

Dein's forehead creased in confusion, 'who are they talking about?' she thought in her head.

"Lucas Carlton?! You mean the famous young CEO?!" Everyone gasped in surprise and started to grab their phones in their pocket to search it.

Dein thought that the name they mentioned is quite familiar. After a few seconds, Dein suddenly stood up surprising Hera who's sitting beside her.

Dein took out her phone and searched his name. Her eyes widened in shock as she read the result and she saw the image of that man. The weird man she talked to is the man who owns the luxurious building she's currently in?!

She gasped and tried to slap her face to check if she's dreaming or not. On the other hand, Hera looked at Dein as if she became crazy.

"Have you totally gone crazy?" Hera asked but Dein did not answer. She just stood there like a statue.

Did I had too much drama in my life so they decided to twist it more than how it is twisted already? Dein thought.

That day, Dein's thoughts are occupied about Lucas. Her mind is filled with questions and curiosity. She is curious

why would a man with that kind of background know about her existence and other than that, her revenge which is connected from her past. So Dein thought that the guy knew something about her...

----------------------

"Dein?" Dein turned her attention at the person calling her.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Boss is calling you." Miles said, one of her co-instructors.

"Okay" Dein answered and nodded slightly. She stood up from the bench then went to her boss' office.

"OH HALO DEIN!" her boss cheerfully greeted and tried to hug Dein but Dein immediately avoided the hug. This boss of hers will crush her bones if he ever hug her.

"What is it boss?" Dein asked annoyed.

"You're so cold.." her boss said dramatically and wiped his non-existent tears. Dein can't help roll her eyes at his boss' dramatic actions. Her boss is really something that you cam call weird, her boss have a very bulky body, very veiny and big. She looks so muscly to the point that one would hesitate to even get close or meet her eyes.

Also, she has a blonde bleached hair and wore neon and colorful clothes often making him look weird and out of place.

"Anyways, I called you because someone wants to meet you." her boss said.

"Who?" Dein asked. Her boss looked at her and just smiled meaningfully.

"You'll know once you meet him." he said and Dein got curious. It is the first time someone wanted to see him. She felt strange and curious at the same time.

"So where do I meet that person?" Dein asked but then a knock interrupted.

"Looks like he's here." he said with a wide smile plastered on his face. That smile looks suspicious, Dein thought.

He opened the door revealing a tall man wearing a cap on his head and a black mask. He also wore an over all black outfit, black cargo pants and shirt.

After he has fully entered, Dein's boss quickly went outside sneakily while waving his hands goodbye to her then eventually closed the door, leaving Dein and the man in black.

Dein stared at the man. His face is hidden behind the cap and mask. He is also looking down a bit so Dein couldn't distinguish his face. She doesn't have a clue who is this man.

The man then removed his cap revealing a familiar looking man. Dein was surprised but she eventually brushed it off and glared at the man.

Lucas stared at Dein and Dein also did.

"I heard you're the oh-so famous Lucas Carlton." Dein said coldly. Dein don't want to be rude but this guy must have evil motives because he keeps approaching her.

Lucas remained silent.

"Okay then. What do you want from me? Why did you investigate me and all of these crazy acts of yours? What is it that you want?" Dein asked with seriousness.

Lucas stared at Dein for a few seconds before answering.

"I want you."

His voice was low but is loud enough for Dein to hear. His voice sounded so dreamy and manly.

Dein blinked several times and her head is wondering if she's dreaming. So she tried to slap her face but before her hand landed on her cheek a hand grabbed her arm to stop her mid way.

"Why are you hurting yourself?" Lucas asked and Dein looked at him and blinked.

"So i'm not dreaming?" Lucas' forehead creased in confusion.

"No" he answered and when Dein realized his hands is still on hers. She immediately shrug it off and Lucas just let her.

Dein suddenly didn't know what to say. Her lips felt as if glued to each other and her brain is suddenly felt empty.
