Tokyo, Japan: 6 months before...
---------------

I looked into the eyes of my boss as he stared at me from across the room. I smirked devilishly and he scoffed looking away with a smile. All around us, the other head CEOs and important people conversed with each other. I pulled at my necktie, feeling suffocated.

I couldn't wait to get away from this meeting already.

We all went quiet as the doors into the main room burst open and a gorgeous older woman walked in. She wore fishnets and a lace-up red leather dress, matching red jeweled heels accompanied her dress. Her hair was styled up in a high Ponytail, her baby hairs curled along her forehead.

Everyone held their breath as her heels clacked against the marble tiles and she took her place at the head of the table, next to my boss. My boss leaned over and kissed her softly on the cheek. I know my boss loved his mother the most and it warmed me whenever they interacted because they havent had the chance to do that lately. She was sick and only getting worse. Only my boss and I knew this but still she showed up to the meetings whenever they were held so that their enemies wouldn't expect a thing.
Just then, the conversations started up again.

I watched as my boss signaled for me to come over and I strode up to him. The chatter in the room got louder as everyone at the table started arguing about taxes or some dumb shit like that. I wasn't paying attention, my eyes glimmering as I placed my hands on my boss's shoulders.

He leaned back, looking at me. I know he wanted me to translate the conversations in the room. I smirked again, leaning in to his ear. "He", I said jerking my head in the direction of Mashiko Takashi, the Head Weapons Dealer, "said they lost an entire shipment of Submachine guns because of some terrorists on the border. He said he's doing everything he can to get them back as we speak."

My boss nodded. I smirked, leaning even closer so that my lips were touching his earlobe. "And he," I said pointing at myself discreetly, "said he wants to get out of here already." Boss looked up, a playful smile playing in his eyes. He mouthed the words, after this.

I nodded. I wasn't pushy. Whatever he wanted, I would do. I would literally die for that man, and he knew it too. I backed up, folding my hands behind my back and stood curtly waiting for the meeting to be over. Eventually, it ended with clapping, for everything went smoothly and was settled. I bowed and opened the door for them all so they could exit. He closed the main door behind him, ushering them out the front entrance of the large villa. He bowed to each car as they left until the driveway was empty.

I smiled and sped-walked back inside. I slowly made my way up the spiral stairs to the huge doubledoors that led to my boss's room. I pushed them open, peering inside. The sound of a shower was heard running from his private bathroom. I walked inside and shut the doors. Sighing, I sat on his bed, waiting for him to finish up.

A few minutes later, the shower turned off. I straightened my back, standing up.
He came out with a towel wrapped around his waist, his muscular toned abs were wet with drops of water. He was drying his hair off with a towel when he noticed me standing in his room. He didn't look at all surprised to see me because he was used to my sudden appearances by now. He looked me up and down, "What's wrong"?

I looked down, suddenly feeling shy watching him. "I came to tell you that prior to the meeting, your mother asked me to tell you that she needs to have a word with you. I'm guessing that it's something important based off of the tone she had in her voice".

He turned away from me, walking over to his wardrobe. I looked up and as soon as I did, he dropped the towel from around his waist, onto the ground. I cast my eyes back downward. It got quiet before I heard him walk over, stopping directly in front of me. From my view of the floor, all I could see was his feet and bare legs. I closed my eyes, respectfully.

He reached and grabbed ahold of my necktie. "Lookup", he commanded. And I obeyed. Even though I was slightly taller than him, our eyes practically were leveled. I stared at him, taking in his facial features. My gut started burning with longing. It was no secret, he knew I was in love with him. But, he always teased me. Made it more difficult than it had to be.

We stood like that for a moment, taking in each other in. I looked for a sign at any moment to end my brief suffering. Waiting for him to give me permission. And he gave it to me. I watched as the right corner of his mouth slowly lifted in a smile. I suddenly surged forward, pressing our mouths together.

Suddenly our movements were frantic. I grabbed him by his shoulders and slammed his against the wall. I kissed his hard, like it would be my last time. I felt his fingers lace through my hair and the knot in my stomach grew. A wrapped my hands around his neck, pulling him closer, afraid to let him go. He pressed his body against mine and I felt electricity crackle between us.

God, I love this man, I thought.

He broke the kiss with ragged uneven breathing and his hands then moved to my necktie. He gave it a yank then started walking, pulling me over to the large master bed. He pushed me down so I was laying flat on my back and he crawled ontop of me. I sat up and he sat down on my lap. He undid my necktie and opened up my shirt. I grabbed his hand hand, stopping him.

"Are you sure?", I asked. I knew what would happen if we were caught. I mean, nothing would happen to him but I would be tortured or worse. Killed. I know everyone was expecting him to end up with the youngest son of the Lee family but I couldn't stop my feelings. I loved him so much. I wanted to make him mine.

I slowly started to kiss his neck, drinking in his scent. He smelled delicious and I wanted to devour him whole. But, everytime I kissed him, I couldn't help but feel like it wasn't right. I shook off the feeling.
Of course this was right, I love him.
My boss stopped kissing me and sat there, arms around my neck. He looked into my eyes and asked, "No, wait. Tell me, what's wrong"?

He lifted his hand to my cheek, holding my face. I smiled softly, reassuring him. "I'm fine. Just, I have alot on my mind these days"...
"About what"?
"Just... stuff".
"What stuff? Can you elaborate a little at least"?
"It's just", I sighed heavily. "I know you're supposed to end up with that Lee dude in the end. But, like... doing this-" I gestured at us both, "makes me realize how much I actually like you. And know that when the time comes, I don't think I can handle the thought of someone else being with you".
I grabbed his hand from off my cheek and held onto it. "Someone other than me".

He was silent for a second before leaning over a giving me a soft peck on the lips. "All I can say is, I know what everyone else is expecting of me. And, I don't wanna disappoint anyone. So please, wait for me. I don't know how the future will play out. But, one thing I do know is who I have feelings for". He smiled, then hugged me tightly. I hugged him back, forcing back the tears that threatened to spill from my eyes. "And who I like... no. Whom I love is you."

I opened my mouth to respond but before I could get the chance, the emergency siren went off all across the house.

Shit! Intruders!
