Chapter 4 | Successor

'Shit'

Sebastian blinked for a couple of times and even rubbed his eyes to confirm that it didn't deceive him. But his brother's voice lingered around and everyone in the cafeteria looked curiously at Simon's weirdness.

"Sis Sandra!" he shouted as he ran towards the table where the two were seated.

Levi and Sandra, who was wearing a huge hoodie to cover her face, were both startled as Simon approached them. The latter shamelessly sat beside Sandra while wearing a creepy smile.

"Simon," Levi warned, but the stubborn guy just ignored him. "You're scaring her," he said, but again, he was being ignored as if Simon didn't hear nor see him.

Sandra pulled her hoodie downward and tried to hide her face more, but it was a futile attempt for Simon quickly grabbed her hand and shook it unceremoniously, making her gasped in surprised.

"I've met you, finally!" the guy exclaimed in full bliss as if there's a miracle happened just in front of his naked eyes.

Sandra couldn't utter a word. She was too shocked to response at the sudden appearance of Simon. She thought no one could recognize her because of her huge hoodie, but she was wrong and she didn't like it when she's wrong.

"How did you know she's here?" Levi asked instead not hiding the irritation on his face as he glared at the guy.

Simon, however, beamed and did not bother to take a look at Levi, "I just heard it from our boss while he was talking on the phone," he answered without taking his eyes away from Sandra, then smiled, if his smile can still get any wider, "I'm really happy to see you here, Sister"

Sandra smiled then nodded, which made Simon stood up and laughed manically as if he won a lottery, not minding the people around them watching him. She then looked at Levi worriedly, quite weirded out, and mentally asking if the guy was okay, but the latter just sighed and shook his head in displeased.

"Simon. Let's go"

Everyone in the table turned their attention to the owner of the voice. Much to Sandra's liking as her expression almost instantly changed from worried to excitement when she finally saw Sebastian again after their unexpected dinner weeks ago. She planned to visit Empire sooner, but her work loads hindered her to do so.

"Bro!"

"Sebastian"

Simon suddenly stopped from whatever he was about to say and gasped exaggeratedly for the nth times with eyes wide like a saucer. He stared alternately at Sandra and his brother, then pointed his finger to his brother while looking at Sandra. "Sis, you know him?" he asked, confused, shocked and disbelief.

Sandra nodded while grinning, eyes twinkling in delight at the person she's been looking forward to see again, "Yeah. We had dinner together with Levi, a few weeks ago," she answered.

Simon gasped again, this time more exaggerated than the first, then gave his brother an accusing look. Sebastian though, just shrugged it off and ignored him and proceeded to leave their table.

"Bro! Where are you going? I'm still talking to you!" Simon shouted trying to stop his brother.

"I'll give you the song you wanted if you follow me," Sebastian said without looking back.

Simon rubbed the back of his head then sighed. 'It's unfair,' he thought. It was the chance he's been waiting for, to finally talk to his ideal girl, but unfortunately he has an evil brother who would do anything to take it away from him! Sighing in defeat, he pouted and turned back to face Sandra again, helplessly, "I'm sorry Sister, I can't talk to you right now. I have to go. Bye!" he run after Sebastian, but then he stopped and turned back to her again. "We'll see each other again, right?" he asked expectantly.
