"How's your journey, Okuichi san?" Kunihiko disembarks from the jet plane looking not well at all and yet there were two more meetings with the new acquiring company's shareholder that he alone need to precede on behave of Kakeru. Now Kakeru in the middle of handling his personal matters had to leave early back to Osaka.
"I rather not discussing it." Kunihiko brushes off to explain everything to his assistant, Sanae san. 'Nightmare.' "Let's get to it ASAP and go home." He urged his assistant to focus on the meeting. "Urgh... I need a long hot bath after all this is over." He muttered to himself.
Kunihiko, himself has not been sleeping for three days straight which causing him to have a little feverish. He had been having multiple online conferences with his own business team while helping Kakeru conducting his acquiring target company. Luke just called up that he won't be able to show up to this meeting for another family matters. William, on the other hand, is busy playing house with his newest girlfriend. Plus he was just the investor in the project. What a vet can do after all? But, William did recommend another man as his cousin to meet up with him later. William described him as an experienced manager in marketing internationally, Henri Camden.
Right now, he can see himself being messy let alone his long hair he let loose thus need extra cares. But, that's not what other people see him. He looks more dashing & darkly looking with the shades on covering his tired eyes. His waver, long hair makes him more mysteries and casual with his loosely faded Jean covering those long legs & business coat. He tosses the leather bag to the other man and grabbed his saddlebag before he disappears through the exit. His job is done here.

"Excuse me, I have an appointment with Mr Henri this evening." Ally arrived at the reception of the company. The hall was noisy and crowded with workers going home. Some of them even laughing and joking around with each other before decided to hit the bar. It is indeed Friday night and no works for Saturday.
"Oh, you're Dr Allyson? I'm afraid he might already leave to attend the company dinner party. But, if you want you can wait for him in his office. He told us to let you go up first." The lovely receptionist explained to her but Allyson still reluctant to go on. Something feels not right.
"I see. Thanks. I will head up now then." Ally smiled at her and walk away towards the elevator. 'Maybe I can just drop his coat and leave before he comes back from the party. Then give him a call. That should suffice.' Ally always run an errand for Henri for a few times at this company since they managed to take over it six months ago. Sometimes she spends time waiting for him before Henri took her to watch movies or walk around the Han river.
Ally arrived on the administrative floor. The sun begins to set over the horizon letting a little light into the admin floor slightly dim. The noises from the traffic down below the building were even louder and she can hear it from the seventh floor.
"THUNK!" Something heavy falls and hit the floor hard as she walks fast past the conference room. 'What was that?' In an empty floor, nobody should be here right now. She was about to leave the area when she heard a grunting sound like someone is hurt. 'Someone is here!' Ally went to see who it was inside the huge conference room but there was nobody until she saw an opening door connecting the conference room to another office room.
A man was lying on the floor grunting in pain. Ally rushed to him only to be surprised with his hot sweating body. He is having a high fever and nobody around to ask for help. By observing the situation she's in, she can't possibly able to pull him up to the nearby lounge chair. His body is huge yet skinny and tall makes Ally to think twice if she can do it. 'There should be an alternative to this.' Ally runs over to the adjacent room and found a futon on the closet and took a few clean towels with her as well. She managed to get a big bowl from the pantry, fill it with cold water and runs back to the man.
When everything was ready, she pulls and pushes the big guy into the futon before undress him with the utmost difficulty. She begins to wipe his feverish body with the ice-cold water as he continues whining over the coldness refusing to continue. Ally has to change the water three times before his fever diminished to normal leaving her exhausted. His breathing has become steady while sleeping comfortably. It's already 1:00 am. Outside the huge panels of glasses, there was a full moon and moonlight shine into the room letting her see the side view of the man sleeping. 'This man is so beautiful.' Ally heaved a satisfied sigh before she let herself up to leave the man alone. 'He's out of danger now. Rest up, big guy.' Before she knew it her hand was pulled down towards the half-naked man.
"Let me go, you ungrateful man!" Ally punch at the man's arms whilst trying to escape from his arms but he won't budge at all. He was too strong for her. "I'm not your bolster, you pervert!" Her strength alone won't be able to fight him off. The leftover energy that she has was drained from nursing the man since 7:00 pm. Now, this! After a while of failed attempts; exhaustion and drowsiness slowly hit her to join the slumberland inside the man arms.
Kunihiko had been having a weird dream ever awakes for a start. Something heavy pressing his stomach and he is laying on top of a futon half-naked! A strange sleeping woman on top of him with awkward posture as her boobs between his legs hugging his appendage. He was about to push her away angrily when he aware the surrounding of the futon was a bowl of water and many wet towels. 'How long has she been nursing him?'
Maybe one of the staff of this company. He seats himself up beside the sleeping woman, looking at her confused. She looks thin, tiny & fragile. Somewhat looks like a little girl. She looks tired. He tried to wake her up but no response from her at all. Kunihiko decided to call Sanae San for help. Maybe he can identify the woman and send her home. Satisfied with the call, he carefully lifted the tiny woman without trouble to the nearby lounge chair before went to take a shower. He finished shower only to find his assistant's surprise looks and frowning at him.
"Where's the woman?"
"What do you mean? She was just sleeping on the lounge chair a moment ago." He pointed the empty lounge chair. "Never mind." He doesn't even care about the woman.
"Maybe she has woken herself up and decide to go back home herself." Sanae speculated. But Kunihiko didn't respond. He silently dries himself. 'Maybe huh.'
"Don't ask me what happened. Clear everything for me. I'm heading home." Kunihiko grabbed his saddlebag and take out his camera only to get a flash of an image of the woman. 'What a skinny, tiny woman. As if a living walking skeleton.' He shook his head.
