When The Devil Fall In Love (Finder No Hyouteki FF)

Chapter 2: The Beginning

The sound of the alarm is what woke up Akihito. He reached for the annoying phone just beside his head and decided to continue sleeping. Not after he spared a glance at the time. 7:00 am.

It's too late for his usual time to get up on a weekend. But he's still so sleepy and tired for some reason. His muscles so stiff that it hurts to move even a little, especially his calves. Damn, what happened last night?

Then it all came back to him. The events of last night. He groaned. Oh! It's better not to remember.

÷÷÷ Flashback ÷÷÷

They waited for almost one and half an hour before the distinguished guest arrive. And right then and there he throws the idea of being the third wheel. Akihito and his boss stand up waiting at their table.

Well, the guest has company. And that's good. And he just realized why when they we're face-to-face. Oh boy! He is really a big shot, in a long, long way. Like from Tokyo to New York. A little heads up from his boss isn't really bad, just so he can prepare himself. Damn! So that explains the private lounge they're in.

For the love of God! The man is none other than the famous Asami freaking Ryuichi.The most eligible bachelor in town! At least that's what the tabloid Akihito used to read says. He appeared just a little behind the tall bulky man, must be his bodyguad. After the guard made a swift sweep of the room, probably checking if there's a threat, just then his boss walked ahead of everyone else.

But despite that, he is also considered as one hell of a businessman for his long list of ventures in different fields here and abroad. He's not even sure if its true, but  Asami Ryuichi was also dubbed as the youngest billionaire in the country. If that's even possible, he looks young for someone to achieved a billionaire status. Millionaire probably. Unless the guy's using some kind of fountain of youth and he's really old? Not that it's possible. But he really didn't look that old.

What really matter is, he's friggin' rich so it makes Akihito wonder. Why this man is interested in the small time company he's working for. But he's not rejecting the idea. It's just that, he's bewildered by it. Another reason that probably the man himself thought, he has the right to attend to this meeting whatever time he pleases. It annoyed Akihito more. From that, he hates the guy.

They are a small modeling agency. Their clients are almost all from local brands. With a lot of competitors, they're glad that they could stay afloat. He's one of the model. Mostly, he works for print ads. It's not a full-time job but it gives him time to do other things. Plus the pay is pretty decent too. They're not choosy with the client as long as its legal and within professional standard. And they have a loooooot offered from shitty types too. Just because they're not big, others tend to look down on them. But they can compete with quality, one thing they can be proud of.

Akihito's eyes darted to the men beside the businessman. So they're really his bodyguards considering the size of the army-cut blond guy to the left and the other one just behind the businessman with black hair but same build. The bespectacled man on his right, looks more like an assistant since he's the one carrying a briefcase and have a smart look.

And finally his eyes landed on the man himself. It's the first time he saw his face and not only because its their first time meeting. The man is rarely seen in public and the photo of him on papers are all unclear and gives no justice to the live version. If not, his face is not fully captured. He allows interviews but not photo op. It's like the guy has phobia of being captured on a camera.

The papers always mention that the man is the epitome of the tall~dark~handsome combination. But damn, they forgot to mention that he also got this dark and dangerous look on him. Almost devishly. He could give Lucifer a ran for his money as the new prince of darkness. Black hair swept up to the back, with a few strands falling just above his right eye. Yeah those eyes. As if it could see your soul with those sharp, deep piercing gaze. And did he say sharp? Almost animalistic with that golden orbs that glint in the shadow of the low-lighted room.
