Second Thoughts (Sequel to To My Dearest)

Starting Up Again

"So this is Tres Spades Dubai, huh?" Sakura laughed as they walked towards the tall building. "On the water as well. What did I expect from you, Eisuke?" 

"Only the best when it comes to Tres Spades Hotels." the man smirks as they walked through the doors. "And besides, it wasn't me who did most of the thinking here." the CEO adds as they looked around the lobby.

"Ah, did you do the design and structure, Ota?" Sakura asked, turning towards the artist with a small grin. 

"Oh, yeah," the artist smiles, "I feel like this design gives more of an underwater and hidden forest kind of feel."

"Yeah, I can tell from the aquarium and plants in the lobby." she laughs, gesturing to the decorations around the wide lobby. 

"Alright, that's enough talking, let's get up to the lounge." Eisuke stops the excited chatter between the hacker and artist. But he smiled a little on the inside.

Ever since the Foxes and the bidders had helped her out of execution, and ever since her boyfriend Soryu confessed everything, her attitude became lighter. And the old, friendly, nice and yet sassy girl he knew and befriended back in high school finally came back.

And after the Foxes helping them out with her escape, the police have been chasing after them as well. So with the help of Eisuke, Atsumu had managed to make a new Le Renard Noir in Dubai, the Foxes moving with Boss along with their fiancee's, wives and girlfriends. 

Also, along the way, Mamoru had apparently met someone at work, which sort of shocked everyone, but they were definitely happy for their detective friend. They hadn't seen her before, but from what Mamoru had described her, her name was Shay Greene, dark hair and blue eyes.

Nothing much more than that, but Mamo refused to give anymore info after that. 

~*****~

"Hey, Sor?" Sakura peeked into the bathroom, where she found her boyfriend in his usual suit, slicking back his hair into it's usual style. "Hm?" he hummed back, looking at her from the mirror he faced.

"Have you seen the dress that I bought in Japan? The pink one with the black waist belt?" she asks. "I can't find it in my bag, maybe I accidentally placed it in yours...?" 

"Well, I haven't put my things away yet so you can go look through, I did see something pink in there before I closed it." the mobster answers, gesturing to his bag by the door of their suite.

"Okay, thanks, babe." she walks in quickly and stands on her tiptoes to give him a quick kiss on the cheek before walking back out.

After 10 minutes, Soryu finished brushing his teeth and fixing his hair, walking out to the living room of their shared suite. He found Sakura already ready in the pink dress she had been searching for earlier. Along with black flats and a black purse, her hair was in soft curls, her lips colored a slightly light pink with mascara lightly coating her lashes.

She was reading a detective novel of his as she sat, waiting for him. "Hey," she looked up, closing the book after marking the page off. "You ready to go? We're supposed to go to LRN for the opening with the others."

"Let's go." he nods, pulling on his shoes before grabbing her hand in his, letting her tangle their fingers together.

The couple walks out to the lounge, where all the bidders were waiting. "Are you two ready?" Eisuke asked as they walked in. The two nod silently and follow the group out the lounge, down to the lobby where they get mobbed with groupies, Sakura shoved aside like before, back in Japan.

"Tch, annoying." she growls, pushing her way past the groupies and grabbing her boyfriend's hand, pulling him away, making the women whine and glare at her. She also grabs Mamoru's wrist and drags him out.

"Who the hell are you to pull them away from us?" a redhead glares at her with sharp eyes, occasionally glancing to the detective and mobster with a smirk.

"I'm his girlfriend," Sakura gestures to hers and Soryu's hands, "And he has a girl." she points to Mamoru.

"Well we're not too worried about you, anyway. You look replaceable," the redhead cackles, looking at her. Soryu's expression hardens but he couldn't help but laugh a little on the inside when Sakura retaliates.

"I dare you to try. And I swear to god by the end of the day, or within a minute, I will put a bullet through your head." she threatens. "Or even worse, I can reveal all your dirty secrets. I know everything about you, Ms. Fukui. And I know exactly how to take down your daddy's business to make sure you won't be strolling back into Tres Spades."

The girl freezes at Sakura's words but then laughs again. "How can you? You seem like a normal girl to me."

"Don't try me or I swear to god I will do it, I'm a hacker Fukui, and I can make you go bankrupt withing minutes." she replies. 

"I dare you." the redhead taunts, and the bidders all widen their eyes, Soryu squeezing Sakura's hand. "Sakura, don't." he tries to stop her when she fishes her phone out her pocket.

"Nah, I never back down from a dare." a familiar, determined glare flashes across the girl's gaze as Sakura makes a quick call to Rin and being the loyal assistant she was, answers quickly.

"Rin? I need you to make a quick errand." Sakura smirks, glancing briefly at the redheaded model in front of her, who was still smirking.

Rin doesn't need her boss to spell everything out, she's used these words so much it was almost normal. She wanted someone down. "Alright, what's the name?"

"Mai Fukui. Her daddy as well." Sakura smirks, looking at the redhead, who's smile was beginning to falter as she stood there, hands shaking slightly. She was joking right? She couldn't be a hacker...

But after watching her hang up, within a matter of 10 minutes, someone's phone rings and everyone, the bidders and the groupies, watch as Mai pulls out her phone, her face draining from color.

"D-Daddy...?" A quick pause. "N-No! I didn't do anything..." A long pause and a slight, almost muffled shout from the other side of the call. "W-What do you mean our bank savings disappeared...?" Just then, she gets another call. "Hold on, dad! It's my manager!"

After she answers, she hears loud shouts from her manager. "What do you mean, all the shoots were cancelled?!" A pause. "A-Affairs...? N-No... I... Pictures...?"

The redhead looks up to Sakura, who smirks confidently. As her manager kept spouting about the scandals going around, she watched as Sakura mouthed 'I told you' before grabbing the rest of the bidders and strolling out the lobby.

~*****~

"Wasn't that a bit harsh, Saku?" Ota asks as the limo drives towards LRN. "She asked for it and she dared me to. I always finish challenges given to me." she replies casually, scrolling through her phone as she felt Soryu's arm snake around her shoulders.

"But anyway, we're heading towards LRN right now, we're taking the Foxes with us for the IVC tonight, correct?" "That's right." EIsuke replies, scrolling through his own phone as well. "We'll be going with them to get their clothes apparently."

"Ah yeah... Our first IVC and auction in Dubai."

"Looks like we're starting up again, hm?"
