-Haruka POV-
"So, you're the one who operated on me five years ago." His words made me go silent for a second. This is a statement, not a question.
I looked at him with a shocked face. "How did you know?"
"Huh. So, it's true." He spoke softly and looked at me. He looks very hurt, but why?
"And what's wrong if that were true?" I asked him the question, ignoring how upset he appeared, and I don't think I did anything wrong.
"How come you've never told me about that? Why?" He makes his steps towards me, looking straight into my eyes. Waiting for my honest answer.
"I don't think I need to tell you since you don't have any relationship with me and I can do what I want. If I don't want to reveal my identity, I won't." I said, still defending my right.
"But I have the right to know! You don't want others to know, but I'm the patient, I have the right to know everything! I've been looking for the person who saved my life for 5 years because the name stated there did not convince me. How could you keep it hidden from me?" He raised his voice, still with a hurt look on his face. What did I do wrong? I have the right to hide my identity too.
"And I have the right to hide my identity too. You cannot force people to tell you everything. You said you could investigate all that by yourself, so why do I need to tell you? And what if you know the person you've been looking for for five years is me? What if the person who saved you five years ago is my brother? Would you fall for my brother instead?!" I couldn't contain my rage any longer, and I'm not sure why I became so worked up about this.
I look at him. He was shocked.
"N….no. You got it wrong! I loved you even when I didn't realise it was you who saved me five years ago. I don't care if it was you or someone else who saved me!" He still doesn't want to admit the truth.
"Then why are you so angry when I didn't tell you the truth? You love me because I save you, not because it's truly from your heart!" I burst out without even realising it. I hope no one can hear that. Levi makes his steps closer to me until he is in front of me.
"I told you I love you, and I don't care if it was you or not who saved me, I still love you. It's just the fact that you are the person I love, and yet you did not tell me the truth, which just hurt my feelings. I just wanted to hear it from your own mouth, that's all I want!" His voice is an octave higher than before. He grabbed me by my collar. What is he trying to do?
"What the hell are you doing, Levi?" Out of nowhere, Louis burst into Levi's office. Grabbing Levi's arm to release my collar, which Levi slowly did.
"You're hurting Haruka senpai! Senpai, are you okay?" Louis looks at me, concerned. I couldn't help but burst into tears and hug him.
"Levi, you said you love Senpai, but how could you hurt him and make him cry? You don't deserve to be loved by him. Let's go, senpai. I'll take you somewhere to calm yourself first." Louis helped me get up. I couldn't think right now. I just followed what Louis said. Everything has still taken me by surprise.
Before I left Levi's office, I could see his face. He appears to be in pain, and I've never seen him in this state before. But why? Is it because of me? No, it's none of my business.
Louis brings me to the pantry. Luckily, no one's there at this hour.
"Here, drink this first." He gave me water, and I took it.
"Thank you." I drink the water.
"Senpai, I'm sorry about my brother." He spoke softly, intertwining my hand with his.
"Why are you apologising, Louis? It's not even your fault." I smiled at him.
"It's just that I felt bad on behalf of my brother." He sounded upset. Louis is truly a kind person. Compared to his brother, he is too kind. Just with him by my side, I feel safe and comfortable.
"I'm okay now, Louis, let's go back to work." I just smiled while looking at him.
"Are you sure you can go back to work already? Is there anything else you need to take care of? You should just go home, senpai." Louis's worried tone makes me laugh, which I already do.
"Senpai, what's so funny? Why are you laughing?" Louis pout.
"Louis, who do you think I am? I'm just an office worker here, not a boss. I can't just come and go whenever I want." I chuckled.
"Even if you act like a boss, they will not fire you, and you knew it very well." Louis smirked at me, and I just smiled.
"I just wanted an ordinary life, and I'm good with how I'm living right now."
"Senpai, what should I do with you? You're just too cute and pretty." His words made my heart skip a beat. It's been a long time since Louis called me pretty, and I don't know how to react anymore.
"Pfft. Alright, let's go back to work already and stop being so cute already." This time, he's the one who laughs at me, and I don't really mind. In fact, I love it.
"Thank you, Louis, for everything, really." I smile and leave the pantry first.
I look at Levi's office door, and there is no sign of him being there. Did he leave? He didn't have any meetings scheduled for this evening. I don't want to care, but I don't know why my feet are making the steps towards his office door right now. I slowly opened the door, no one was there. He's already left. It's 3pm. Right now. Well, he's the boss.

-The next day-
-No one POV-
"Mr. Auclair, I'm sorry to bother you, but did the Director tell you anything about being late to the office today?" Sophia and David came out of nowhere with panicked expressions.
"Levi Ackerman did not arrive yet?" Haruka talks to himself. He looks at his watch, and it's already 9 a.m.It's rare for Levi Ackerman to be this late, and to be exact, he's never been late, not even once.
"Mr. Ackerman did not tell me anything. Why is it, Sophia?" Haruka asked, confused.
"Sir, the Director has an important meeting at 11 a.m. this morning, but now he's still not showing himself." Sophia couldn't stop herself from panicking, and Haruka was equally as surprised.
Haruka checks his calendar, and he remembers that Levi needs to meet the CEO from Germany for their business partnership.
"What the hell is Levi Ackerman thinking?" Haruka cursed in his thoughts.
"Did you already try calling him?" Haruka asks even though he knows the answer already. Of course they did, if not, they wouldn't have been running here to meet me.
"We did call him many times already, Mr. Auclair. His mobile phone, and even his house." This time, David is the one who answers.
"Mr. Auclair, you're the only one who can help. You have the key to Mr. Ackerman's house, right? You should go, I'm afraid something might happen to the director." Sophia said. Now, Haruka remembered that Levi did give him the key to his house.
"Huh. Alright, I'll handle this. You two handle the things here while I'm gone." Haruka didn't have a choice but to agree.
"Thank you, Mr. Auclair, you are our savior." Sophia sniffles. She really is scared to death.
"No worries. I'm also one of his secretaries, so of course this is also my job. Then I'll be leaving first." Haruka took his blazer and all the documents needed and left.
Ugh, why now when I don't want to see his face yet.
