Former Crushes

I chuckled at the news that Tristan told me. We were in my office, I was finishing some paperwork and then he just bardged in saying that I should sign a file. He also told me about what he did with the new transferees. It was just the first day and one of the transferees are already sent to the Disciplinary Hall? Isn't that quite a news.

"You also can be two-faced Tristan." I commented at him. He just gingerly smiles like he always do when we were kids. "You really showed some courageous act of this 'Disciplinary committee member'. You deserve an award, I wished I had a trophy made for you."

He shruggs as he walks up to the shelf where he puts his other reports. He takes one of the files from there. "I'm two-faced when I need to be in work. But I was never two-faced in front of my friends."

I smiled and signed the paperwork he gave me this late afternoon. I was amused with a thought, Tristan was always the sensitive one in our group. But he can be quite feisty when he needs to be.

"And you never were." I replied back, he really is like a younger brother, a very delicate one. "You've grown alot for the past years. You always cried back then when it's something about some sad movie or something."

He grins and teased me by my nickname. "I learned from the worst. Mum."

I waved my hand in the air, gesturing a 'I-dont-mind' sign. "Yeah, whatever. And that's the last paperwork I'm signing today."

I closed the folder and placed my pen in my drawer.

"You're leaving early?" Tristan asks me as he get the paperwork from my desk. I immediately took my bag and jacket from the rack.

I slipped into my jacket and opened the door of my office. "Yeah, I have to pick up my cousin." I glanced at my watch, it was already 2:30 pm. My cousin's classes ends three o'clock every Friday, and usually it's our bonding time.

I also had to make up sometime for him since I missed an hour of our bonding time before. Luckily, my uncle (his father) was there and let him helped with his experiments.

I took my phone from my bag and texted my driver to pick me up already within five minutes. After a few minutes of walking, I reached the gates of my school and I found a men with dark colored clothing- they were wearing either suits or other dark colored clothes, waiting outside a bunch of black cars with the crest of the Devereaux family.

"We've come to pick you up young miss." I smiled at the older man who said that. He was neatly dressed in his dark colored suit and his gray hair pushed back neatly. On his face was a pair of tinted glasses and he wore a pair of white gloves.

"Hn." I nodded, and he opens the door of the car.

Claude was one of my oldest and loyal guards. Ever since I was born, since I was the only girl among my siblings, they were really fond of me. Even I grew up, they're all still willing to spoil me.

He was a rogue hitman before he settled down with the mafia under my father. He took care of me with some more other guards and was really overprotective of me. He never had a family and the Devereaux family and the mafia is his family for over the years.

"Where do you want to go this time?" He asks and I slide in the car. After shutting the door, Claude went to sit at the front seat, beside the driver.

"Drive to Mitsuki's school." I ordered and fasten my seat belt on. The driver started to drive and Claude gave me a blue colored paperbag.

"Your new books young miss." He says, pushing his glasses back onto the bridge of his nose. "We've acquired everything on the list you gave. Any other following orders?"
