My "Ikemen" Butler

Chapter 27: My Mistress, Kidnapped

          “If you want to cry, you know you can Hiro-chan,” Takeshi said as he looked at Hiromi worriedly the next day. She had been eerily quiet ever since Kaoru was fired and Tetsuya already left for Japan so there’s no one to keep her company but him.

            “That’s probably the 50’th time you asked me that Takeshi,” Hiromi said giggling.

            “Well you can’t blame me! You look like a bloody zombie do you know that?” Takeshi said with a laugh.

            “Sorry,” Hiromi said but with a smile on her face.

            “What will I do with you,” Takeshi said shaking his head as he smiled back at Hiromi.

            “Knock knock!” The two of them heard a voice and when they looked to see who it was, they saw Kai standing there. He had been visiting Hiromi often for the last couple of days and even though he always get’s thrown out by Hiromi, he just keeps coming back.

            He came inside the room at once and looked at Takeshi as if to say to let them talk alone and Takeshi left the room at once, bowing at Hiromi first and then at Kai before leaving.

            “I’m not in the mood to talk to you Murasaki. Just leave me alone! After all, you should be entertaining Saki and not me,” Hiromi said as she was about to walk out of the room but Kai grabbed her by the hand and pulled her close to him saying, “Hiromi, sweetheart, haven’t you forgiven me for what I did with your butler? I was just trying to protect you baby.”

            Hiromi feels like vomiting with all the sweetheart and baby stuff she keeps hearing but she just shove it off saying, “It’s not your job to protect me Kai. Maybe you have forgotten, we’re not really engaged and I have no intention of marrying you so stop coming here and acting as if you’re my husband!”

            Hiromi was about to walk out of the room again but before she can even move an inch, Kai grabbed her arm and squeezed it tightly, targeting one of her pressure point and in an instant, Hiromi fainted in his arms.

            He immediately carried her outside as quietly as he could but when he passed by the doors, the guards were obviously stunned with the sight.

            “She fell asleep while we were talking. I want to wait until she wakes up to bring her along but I have an appointment at three o’clock,” Kai said trying to cover up what he just did.

            “And where do you intend to bring him sire,” one of the guards asked confusingly.

            “Why to my home of course. She is my fiancé after all isn’t she not?” Kai said confidently as if it was really meant to be that way.

            “And does the master know about this,” one of the guards asked as well.

            “Hiromi said herself she’ll call him later. So, can I go now,” Kai said with a smile. The guards looked at one another and they simultaneously nodded.

            Kai brought Hiromi inside his car at once. He brushed her hair gently as he told his driver to go and then they were off.

            No one can take you away from me Hiromi…no one. He thought to himself.

            He grabbed his phone then and contacted Mr. Kokubo immediately.

            “Yes Kai, what is it?” Mr. Kokubo said as he picked up his phone, confused of why he was suddenly calling him.

            “Father, Hiromi’s with me. She told me she wants to spend more time with me and get to know me better so I’m bringing her to my penthouse. Is it okay with you,” Kai asked.

            “Why of course. It will be best for the two of you. I’m actually glad! I thought my daughter would ‘cause you trouble,” Mr. Kokubo said with a laugh.

            “How could she when she’s the only one who can make me smile,” Kai said giggling himself.

            “That’s great. I’m glad you’re getting along. You have my permission then,” Mr. Kokubo answered.

            “There’s one more thing sir,” Kai said and Mr. Kokubo confusingly answered, “Yes?”

            “I don’t want to wait any longer to get wed to your daughter so I want to do it immediately. I’ll take her back to Japan tomorrow and tell her I just want to go out with her before the big day comes but instead, let’s surprise her. How about let’s do the wedding within this week. It’s my parent’s wedding anniversary on Thursday and I would love to get wed the same day as my parents did,” Kai explained and Mr. Kokubo laughed his heart out.

            “You’re a sneaky guy…but I agree. I can’t wait to see my daughter in her wedding dress as well. I guess I’ll see the two of you in Japan as soon as possible,” Mr. Kokubo replied happily not aware that his daughter is oblivious with her fiancés’ plans.

            “Certainly,” Kai said as he ended the call.

            He watched Hiromi sleep on his lap as he continued to brush her hair.

            “No escape now Hiromi,” he said laughing evil-y.
