Chereads / My otome ドキドキ / Chapter 8 - Target four

Chapter 8 - Target four

Nona rubbed her temple. Should she quit? She was sure she hadn't met all the targets yet either. But how much could she handle? And to be honest it never did end well. Was she willing to destroy the current 'peace'? She turned the corner and….

Bam.

She felt herself fall but you know she was ready to go now. Death by wall was a stupid way to die she would admit but it certainly was lacking originality.

She felt a tug before she was tugged forward and she met deep purple eyes.

FINAL TARGET FOUR

...

Zakai Hiroji

Ceo - Cool, elegant rich man with a pennant for spoiling those he finds endearing./ "You belong to me"

Ceo?... Ceo like the boss?....

She could feel her hair raise as the options popped up

[i'm so sorry]

[watch where your walking!]

APOLOGIZE! APOLOGIZE! APOLOGIZE!!!!

[i'm so sorry]

The man smiled coyly and brushed his tux that was most likely worth more than all her assets put together,

"No, it was my fault."

His eyes looked at her trailing up and down in a way that felt like appraisal. She wondered absentmindedly if he was counting the goosebumps that were rising per second. Then reaching down he unclasped his watch and she could only feel the horror raising.

"Here"

WHAT WAS HAPPENING!!?

[i couldn't possibly take that]

[why are you giving it to me?]

NONONONONONNO!!!!

[I couldn't possibly take that]

He gave a smile grasping her chin and leaning close.

"Well i can't possibly let MY employees look so shabby"

And with that he walked off. There was no word for the amount of shock that she was feeling. Shock and mildly insulted.

Did he call her shabby?

"You know the CEO?"

She felt her body jump out of her skin as she turned and there was…

Daigo?

Where had he come from? He wasn't even looking at her rather further ahead where the president had left. And though she hadn't known him long there was something off about him…

[are you okay?]

[no, i just bumped into him]

They weren't close enough that she felt she should ask, and she wasn't sure what her options would present if she had. Why did she think something was off anyway?

[no, i just bumped into him]

He hummed before turning to her with a smile,

"Well i came to ask if you're free we can grab lunch, since i know you haven't had it yet."

Had she told him she hadn't eaten yet? How did he know that?

[sure]

[I would love to]

So she had to agree either way huh? She'd rather not….

[sure]

He beamed and hearts flooded the screen. He was really easy to please huh?

"Great let's just grab our coats"

She nodded and watched him walk off first.

Ah!

Now she knew why something seemed off.

He hadn't been smiling.
