Cinderella: Agent Triple 7 [On Going]

Chapter fifteen

It was already dark when they arrive at Tokyo airport. There was a white car waiting for them. Ieus went straight to it like it was his. The driver went out and carried their luggages and put in the car's trunk. The female guard in tuxedo and hair fixed in a ponytail opened the car's door on the backseat for him.

"You go first." He said at Cinderella.

She has no choice but to sit on the back seat. She gave some space for Ieus as she settle herself inside. Ieus went in and the female guard sat on the passenger's seat.

"Mr. Smith ordered me to escort you on your way to the meeting. Please make yourself be comfortable 'til we reached our destination." The female guard said.

"We're going immediately to the meeting?!" Cinderella asked in shock. She's still experiencing a little bit of jetlag from the nauseating flight.

"We'll rest the whole day tomorrow, don't worry." Ieus said as he leaned his back on the car's leather chair. "Just take a nap the whole ride."

"Y-yes sir.." she said still appalled from the fact that they'll head directly to the Company they'll work with.

Cinderella rest her head on the glass window watching the city lights come and go. She wasn't that interested in the new place because of tiredness and jetlag. She didn't notice she fell asleep as they travel through the night.

She was awaken because of the sudden budge of the car's window glass- wait, why would the car's window glass budge? She's now conscious but didn't opened her eyes still sleepy.

Why is the car's window soft? A glass should be hard. She jolt and seated straight at the sudden realization. She looked at where her head was resting. As expected, it wasn't the car's glass window but Ieus' shoulder.

The hell?! What did I do?

"Sorry did I wake you up?" Ieus said looking at her. The car already stopped and they're parking somewhere indoor. The driver and the lady in tux were not on the car. They're just two of them.

"S-sorry for leaning on you." She immediately apologize due to her embarassment.

"Goodmorning you sleepyhead! Are you Cinderella or sleeping beauty?!" She ignored V's annoying voice in her ear.

"It's fine. I know you're tired." He said.

"When did we arrived?" Cinderella fixed her hair and black off shoulder long sleeves and above the knee dress.

"Just before you woke up." He said and looked at his watch.

"He's lying. You're sleeping for 30 minutes after you parked!"

"Excuse me for a while. I need to change." He said and went out of the car. " And you don't need to change. Your dress is fine." He then went to their luggages.

"You sleepyhead! You're such a louche!" One sure way to rile V is to act shameful. Guilt went to Glydelle.

"I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to!" She explained.

"Whatever Triple Seven! Do your job right!"

Ieus changed somewhere she doesn't know. He came back already in tuxedo. They went up by the elevator to a floor where the Xe Company's conference room is. When Ieus opened the door, all heads turned to them.

"We apologize for being late." He said as he went to a chair. Cinderella remained beside him standing.

"It's fine Mr. Montelegre. Mr. Smith is absent due to an emergency. I am his proxy." Ieus looked at the woman in her stunning red pencil skirt and cropped top covered by a white coat. Glydelle rolled her eyes in secret.
