The two had agreed to go out on Friday night after they ate at the restaurant. They headed back to the office together and the people started to hear the buzz.
Some are saying: "They look cute together." Some also say: "Where did that Amaya come from?" They asked.
Valeria enters the scene and sits beside the people of Kenshin. "What's going on?" She asked as if she is a paparazzi.
"Sir Kenshin and Ms. Amaya arrived here together after lunch. Some also said that they saw them together last night."
One of the workers answered and left her alone. Seems like the people don't like her at all. Valeria's eyebrow twitched as she heard that Kenshin was seeing another girl.
"I bet she's not as beautiful as me." She flipped her hair and the ladies in the office laughed.
"Well, Sir Kenshin will always find a more beautiful girl than you are. Remember you are not even important to him." One of the ladies said before leaving.
"You are all just bitter with my beauty." She exclaimed as she watched everyone leave. "These ladies are so jealous whenever I arrive they will leave." She said and rolled her eyes.
She made her way to Kenshin's office but Kenshin's secretary blocked her. "Why are you blocking me? I need to talk to Kenshin." She scolds the secretary.
"Sir Kenshin is having a meeting and he told us not to let anyone in." The assistant said and moved her away. She felt furious at the assistant.
"Who do you think you are to push me away?" She asked like she was going to terminate the assistant. But the secretary steps up for the assistant.
"She is Mr. Kenshin's assistant and she has the right to tell anyone what Mr. Kenshin told us to do." The Secretary moves her more.
"I will go inside whenever I like it." She sternly said and made her way in but Kenshin was busy with Amaya. The two are having a serious talk with each other.
Kenshin noticed Valeria's approaching so he raised an eyebrow at her and Amaya stopped writing.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell everyone not to disturb us?" Kenshin asked with a visible annoyance in his face but he kept calm.
"But I wanted to give my report already. I guess she can wait because I am more important." She answered and gave Amaya a death glare.
If it was the old shy and reserved Amaya she would only leave and stay quiet but the new Amaya was different she would stay calm but bite.
Amaya raised an eyebrow at Valeria and the lady didn't like it from that moment she thought that Amaya was already waging a war against her so she smirked and made her way to Kenshin but before she could even make a move the man already stopped her.
"Are you out of your mind? Valeria?" Kenshin hissed at her and her whole body trembled as the man shuts her off. Valeria suddenly turns into a kitten from a tigress a while ago.
"B-but..." Valeria can't even breathe in fear. Yes, that's what Kenshin's effect on her ever since that day Kenshin humiliated her.
"Get out of my office now." Kenshin tried his best to collect his cool. But Veleria seems to really underestimate his temper.
"But I said I wanted a meeting for my report right now." Valeria uses her princess attitude as she despises the way Amaya looks at her innocently.
Kenshin sat comfortably on his seat and gave the cameraman a signal to cut the filming. He then gives Valeria a smile, a soft smile but a very creepy one.
"Oh? Okay, you are really good at insisting yourself to others." Kenshin calmly told her and motioned her to come over.
"Let me see your report." He said and asked for the folder she was holding. Valeria put up a smirk to Amaya who felt skeptical about her.
"You may all get out now. We are going to discuss about projects." Valeria tries to shoo everyone away.
"No darling. They will stay." Kenshin stops her.
"This one will be real quick," Kenshin told her and started to tear the folder into pieces. Everyone's eyes are in shock as they watch the papers hit the ground.
"Didn't I tell you to leave?" Kenshin asked not leaving his calm composure.
"What did you do? You ruined my report whom I worked hard for two weeks. I don't have any backup data for that." Veleria hysterically asked Kenshin.
"Well, who cares?" Kenshin shrugs his shoulders.
"Whoever cares for you, Valeria?" Kenshin mocked her.
"Leave now before I call the security and remove you from the team." Kenshin gave her a cold stern look.
He then called for his secretary and ordered him to ask a cleaner to clean his office. He went out and told his assistant to ask the whole team to continue filming on the garden part of the building.
The scenery in that garden is breathtaking as it was on the 40th floor of the building's lower deck before the helipad.
Kenshin has a really short temper towards Veleria as he is so irritated at its bratty persona.
When Amaya arrives she approaches Kenshin. She suddenly talks when she sides with Kenshin who makes Kenshin focus on her every bit of facial features.
Every bit that makes Kenshin's heart uneasy.
"The view here is breathtaking." Amaya innocently talked without realizing it was enough to make Kenshin fall to his knees.
He doesn't know what to answer. All he sees is beauty and he's not so sure if the scenery was the one breathtaking or if it's the lady in front of him.
All Kenshin can do is smile awkwardly and scratch the back of his neck. "Yeah. Everything here today was beautiful." He utters and the director already calls for them.
"Shall we finish this filming early so we can proceed with our plans for this night?" Kenshin asked Amaya. In his entire life, this is the first time he treated someone this gentle aside from Akane.
Amaya gave a smile and nodded. "So where do you want to go after this?" He asked Amaya to break the awkward silence. They are both feeling awkward as always with each other.
Those small glances they are throwing at each other and those skin-to-skin brushes at each other. Those little spaces whose enough to linger on each other's perfume on the tip of their noses.
Each of them is taking them both to that very first night where only the both of them exist in this cruel and very intoxicating world. Who knows? Nobody knows but they are both longing for that feeling again.
The filming resumes and today seems like a fairytale for Kenshin.
How? This is unfair...
How time slows down whenever she's around.
I am not in a different world but with Amaya, it feels like the world is in slow motion. Days are faster and nights become longer. But everything is moving slower than what it is.
"Everyone wraps up," The director shouts after the last take of the interview. This will air on the billboard for 15 seconds. The two of them who look like a picture-perfect couple.
"Thank you sir Kenshin for your time and cooperation. It's all because of you." The Director thanked him.
"Thank you for making everything possible too." Kenshin thanked the Director and he looked for Amaya.
"Hey." He calls for her attention.
"Hmm?" Amaya hummed and turned to face him.
"Oh. Hey, Hi." Amaya shyly smiles at him.
"Are you ready for our night out?" Kenshin asked her.
"Oh, sure. But can you wait for me, sir? I just need to make sure that everything works as it was intended to be." Amaya formally addressed him.
He looks around when he notices Amaya looking around like it's also telling him to look around.
People are eyeing them as the next subject to talk about. Tss! All they knew was to talk dirty and think uneducated. Kenshin hissed at himself.
"I will be waiting at the parking is it okay?" Kenshin says in a low tone so it will not cause any more feedback.
"Sure." Amaya then giggled and it made him smile. He again remembers his son.
Kenshin made his way to the car park and when he reached for his car he called his son's phone.
"Hi, Daddy!" Lycoon excitedly answered the phone.
"Hello, son. How are you? Did you have fun on your travel?" Kenshin gleefully asked him.
"Uncle Ken and I went to the place with so many bears and animals." Lycoon is so excited to tell him his day.
"Really? Did you take photos? Daddy wants to see it when I get home." Kenshin asked his son who nodded happily.
He's complete. With this, he feels complete. With Amaya who makes his day and with their son Lycoon who gives him rest.
The only thing that's left is to put them in one frame and he's ready to settle down. But how?
