Loveless (Book 1) [Completed]

Chapter 88.

A GLIMPSE OF THE PAST.

Running into Cain Heel was not something Murasame had hoped for or intended when he left the cafeteria to come out in the empty corridors. It was only natural he was caught off guard when he did, immediately halting to a sudden stop.

Though he had already imagined a million ways to pick a fight with his new costar, just to get back at him for glaring at him, however, now faced with the opportunity to go through with it, Murasame grew oddly silent as he found his tongue stuck for some reason.

Cain only ignored him, turning his attention to his sister. "Setsu, you were taking too long?"

This was the first time Murasame had heard him speak. His voice was rough and papery. Though it was still no use since he couldn't catch a single word because of his heavy accent.

"Sorry," Setsuka answered, switching to english as well. "This annoying guy held me up!" She poked a thumb in Murasame's direction.

For the first time, Cain acknowledged his presence, and finding the same guy from before who had the nerve to stare at his sister through out the meeting, his face contorted into a sneer.

"You piece of shit," he spat, his tone threatening. "Get close to her again and I'll rip you to pieces!" Wrapping a protective arm around Setsuka, he shot him one final sneer before the Heels turned to leave.

Throughout the whole time, Murasame had remained frozen once again. When he was alone, his jaw finally hung from shock. Part of the reason being he let himself get insulted like that without fighting back, but mostly because just now, Cain had spoken flawless japanese to give him that threat.

Cain Heel wasn't supposed to know how to speak japanese, but just now he had spoken it using clear and precise words. The only explanation was he had lied about it. But then again, what was the point? Why go through the trouble of bringing a translator along when you could speak enough to get along?

You bastard! You had the nerve to threaten me? Just you wait until I expose your lie to the Director!

Things were not going according to plan, and Director Konoe didn't like it when things weren't in his control.

After Murasame was here to rat out Cain Heel as how he had lied about not being able to speak japanese, he was speechless.

It was never his intention in the first place to make Cain Heel not being able to speak japanese. It was true he had himself come up with his character, but with Ren Tsuruga portraying him, he had turned out to be a lot different than he had imagined. A lot messier.

The Director only wanted to boost the name of his movie, which was why he came up with this stunt where an unknown actor would play the the iconic role of BJ, it being revealed later that it was Ren Tsuruga all along.

However, Ren asked his permission to share it with the President of his agency. Konoe didn't mind. He had often heard of Lory Takarada being an eccentric man, but he got to see it for himself when the President not only changed the character of Cain Heel but also created a companion to go with him.

Setsuka Heel was created without his knowledge, and the Director had no idea what her use was. He didn't really mind her, but what bothered him was how they decided to make Cain Heel unable to speak japanese.

Not being able to communicate, it would be a lot harder to keep up the team morale and get the work done. Specially with the unapproachable personality of Cain.
