When The Devil Fall In Love (Finder No Hyouteki FF)

Chapter 15: The Phone Call

"How is he?"

"Exhausted from the long drive."

"What's he doing?"

"Sleeping at the moment. Do you want me to call for him?"

"No need. Just look out for him."

"Affirmative sir."

He heard some rustling on the background also another voice saying something about being behind schedule.

"I need to go for now."

And the line went dead without waiting for another reply.

Kirishima can't help but to look at his phone. From the moment they left Hong Kong his boss has called more than ten times already. Mostly asking about Takaba. If not his phone ringing it would be the kid's personal guard's gadgets.

He sighed and massaged his head. A little headache was forming, but funny enough the reason was Asami. Not the supposedly rowdy kid on their care.

"Did he call you too about the kid?" Kirishima asked Tetsuo in front of him.

"Yes Kirishima-san, about 45 minutes ago, then texted me almost every 15 minutes." Tetsuo replied showing his phone log.

"I guess just as much. Suoh keeps on texting me to block the boss for a while because he can't seem to concentrate on his work. He said Asami-sama was more edgy. Two people's fate were already ended just in the span of few hours."

"He texted me too, but I can't do that without my head rolling." Tetsuo replied almost shivering from the thought.

"It's just proof that Suoh's near to losing it."

"I was surprised actually that you're here instead of there in Japan with Asami-sama."

"There are things that I need to do here personally. Plus, when it comes to the kid, boss thinks I'm more strict than Suoh." Kirishima shrugged.

He and Suoh just got acquainted with the kid in few occasions and mostly Akihito was out of it, so it's not like they're close. Unlike the other two young guards.

To be honest, he thought his boss was just looking out for the kid for the sake of the old Takaba. But guess he was wrong, Asami was sure not to stick with his affairs for too long but now it's not the case.

He sure do know Takaba Akihito kept on rejecting his boss for some unknown reason. He was even surprised to witness his boss being rejected, more so when ended up being the one to chase. It's not Asami to go such length for someone he wanted to bed.

He was even wondering what was so enticing with the kid for Asami to be this way. The plan was only to monitor the boy and keep any threat away from him as promised to the old Takaba. But he has this inkling that it's not gonna be when he saw how his boss looked at the boy's photos.

When they unexpectedly met the boy on that night, he knew the plan was gone out of the window. He can't really stop his boss doing what he likes. He was trusted and treated as a friend but he knew the boundaries he can't cross. He can't do anything when Asami not so subtly made advances to the boy, and he was quite impressed to find the boy not so slow at the uptake. Right then and there he shut his boss down, making it clear that he was not interested.

The first time that it happened since he was employed, also shocked to meet someone who would not jump right into Asami's arms. Not taking advantage of the businessman but rather upfront in showing his displeasure with the treatment. A rare find even for Kirishima.

He was used to people latching themselves to Asami, gaining favors to their advantage, associate themselves to the tycoon for anything they could get off from it. Akihito was even annoyed when he heard they were offering business connection, apparently he knew who Asami was and what kind of businessman he is, a very questionable proposition indeed even from his point of view, but it was the fastest way making contact with Takaba.
