XV - Resurfacing Feelings

~~ Start ~~

Assistant: Sir! Sir Horikita!

The alarm that was set up for a company emergency blared in the laptop of the ceo.

His face immediately dropped. The shareholders were withdrawing their shares and were all sending him an email that states their reason why they were pulling out their shares.

As he skimmed through all of it, he paled. It was because of a single reason.

He was losing the million-dollar company that he worked so hard to build. The company was the sole mark of Horikita's.

Just because he had not listened. Just because his pride and ego were not faltering. Just because he thought so high of himself and his company. He had to think fast in order to save his company from this crisis.

Suzune has just come back home from university. She changed and was planning on going to a cafe, she often went to one when she needed to do something. You could say she preferred studying there than in her condo.

She then went to a mall and at her favorite cafe.

She saw that it had a pretty long line.

Suzune: Oh wow... It's certainly... packed today... oh well. Better start falling in line before it goes any longer.

She went in line and clicked on her phone so she won't get bored, but her sore ankles were just not cooperating today.

Some more time, and it was already her turn to order. Of course, she ordered her all-time favorite caramel macchiato with a strawberry cheescake. The staff prepared it and served it to her on a platter. She took it. However, the moment she turned around, she hit an awfully rock-hard something.

"Wha- did I hit a wall or something!? I'm so clumsy, gosh... this is the second time this week." Suzune was debating on whether to look up in shame or just run. She sighed and said sorry immediately but did not dare look. She stared at the food mess on her foot and sighed again. Why was this happening to her? Did she do something wrong?

Staff: Uhm! Can you both please move to the side... I am just g-gonna clean this Ms... Sir...

Suzune turned to see a staff member coming to clean. She shot him an apologetic smile.

Suzune: I'm really sorry for the mess! Uhm-

Staff: It's okay, Ms!

Suzune: I'm so sorry for my clumsiness!

Then, a deep monotonous voice spoke. Monotone, but the only difference was that the voice was so deep. It was all too familiar. Very familiar. She did not want to look up. No one had the same monotone voice. She had only heard the same voice once, and she was definitely not ready to meet him yet.

She slowly craned her head up and up. "Why was he so tall!?" Her thoughts were restless. Then her doe eyes widened further. It was really him.

Suzune: Ayanokoji...

Kiyotaka: Sorry for the bother.

Suzune: Uhm- D-Don't say sorry! It was not your fault!

Her voice sounded too pitch-y! It was probably 2 pitch higher than her normal voice. "Wow, way to go, Suzune! Add more shame to your clumsiness."

The boy or rather... the man in front of her chuckled. You could see that he was amused. Suzune's eyes widened. At this point, her eyes are gonna look like saucers, but who cares. He just chuckled and had an amused look in his eye. The ever so Monotone faced Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. WAS showing emotions.
