The fateful encounter is at the doorstep.

TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter contains explicit languages and misogynistic approach. A viewer discretion is advised.

After being away for a few days, Sarina is back to the beautiful territory of the rich, lavish and uptown Roppongi, home of the abundant. But unlike her previous visits, she is finally given the chance to admire its beauty and structure. With Ran as the driver, she is seated in the passenger's seat, in awe of the outside.

"I can't believe I left Pops for this place." Says the woman who is still guilty for leaving the hospital premises.

"That's the third time you said that. Stop worrying about it, seriously. You are in Roppongi." Responded the man while still busy with the steering wheel.

"Miss Kani will take good care of him. If there's anything she might need you with, I'm sure she will call you or even me." The black-haired finally decided to calm her nerves and nodded.

Seeing this, the man smiled a lot wider.

"That's better." And after a few minutes, the two arrived in their destination.

The destination of the two is a huge building with 45 floors in total, famous for being one of the tallest towers in Roppongi.

"I wonder what Miss Hana will ask me to do." A pair of purple eyes turned in her direction as she said that excitedly. The two of them are now walking in the huge lobby with a few pair of eyes turning to them here and there. Besides the fact that the man has a total of six men behind them, this man is also an attractive person, a candy for the eyes, oozing with sex appeal. And the quiet and perceptive Sarina of course noticed that. Or perhaps, she has always been aware of that.

"Stay within the proximity and stand guard. I will escort Sarina-chan upstairs. Kirari, stay here and wait for my orders."

"Roger that, Sir Ran." Sarina didn't openly react to it, but she noticed how the man's voice sounded different just now. Usually, he sounds kind and cheerful. But just now, his deep voice resonated well with that serious and authoritative figure. She is suddenly curious about the man's real identity.

"Let's go, Sarina-chan." Now, he's back to being cheerful. He guided her around the waist and they both entered the elevator. Then, she watched him press '42'.

"Am I that handsome, Sarina-chan?"

"What?"

"You like staring at me so intently. If you don't stop, I will kiss you." Smirked the captivating man. She felt her face go hot with the man's response.

"I-It's not like that. You're just so mysterious, Ran-kun." Responded the fidgety Sarina who is fixing her eyeglasses. A habit she unconsciously does when she's awkward or nervous. A gesture the man finds cute.

"Y-You h-have helped me with so many things. But I have no idea who you are." She continued embarrassingly, without any idea that the man has made his way closer to her.
