-Haruka POV-
"You? Why are you here?" The person in front of me asks in shock, and so do I.
Wait? Why is this person here? I know he's one of Levi's friends, but I didn't expect he'd be the one who brought Levi home, since Levi might have more than one friend here. And his voice over the phone is totally different, too.
"So, you're Mr. Auclair, huh?" He asks, smirking. I bet he already knows that, but he is just pretending to be shocked.
"I am. I'll bring Mr. Ackerman back to the hotel now. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." I said so, trying to control my facial expression. I hope to leave soon. Suddenly, I regret coming here.
"Wait, before that, why are you working as Levi's secretary? Your family owns hospitals and the pharmaceutical industry. They're even one of the top companies in the world." Again, the same question people will ask.
"I believe you don't have the right to ask me about my personal matters." This time, I can't control my expression anymore. I give him a clear dissatisfied look.
"Well, I bet you're right. No matter how much I tried to search for information about you, not much information came out. Your personal matters remain hidden despite your achievements and the things known to the public. I guess you're hiding everything personal about you from the public, hmm?" Again, he was trying to ask me about my personal matter after I warned him.
"Of course, you won't find any. Even Levi Ackerman struggled with that." I said that proudly, and he looked a bit shocked and smiled right after that. Is there anything funny about that?
"Huh. Call Levi by his name, even if he's your boss. I guess you're more than just an ordinary secretary. Well, you're an Auclair, everything makes sense. I guess I lost without even trying. I'm not brave enough to compete with Levi. Still, I'm surprised I could meet the second young master of the Auclair Family that people've been talking about. Levi is in the living room. You may enter." Finally, he gave me permission to enter his house after spitting out all the nonsense. Compete? What did he even talk about? I enter the house and make my way towards the living room. Levi Ackerman is sleeping on the sofa there. I sigh.
"What did he even think of drinking so much when we had an early flight to catch tomorrow?" I mumbled softly.
"Who knows. I think you're a part of it to blame too." Felix whispers in my ears, making me startled.
"What do you think you're doing?" I half-yelled.
"Sorry, my bad. I'm just trying to tease you a bit. But seriously, he's like that because of you. He's been saying your name multiple times. I don't know what you did to make him frustrated like that. It's been a long time since I saw him like this. It's been five years." Felix said it with a concerned look on his face. What's this got to do with me?
"I did nothing, and it's not my fault he's like this." I defend myself, making him smile.
"I bet this is why Levi likes you. Don't be too hard on him then." He keeps telling me nonsense.
"If you finish talking, I will excuse myself. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and thank you."
"No problem. Have a safe flight tomorrow." With that, I left.
I called for the taxi. I look at Levi beside me. Tch. Why did I even offer to take this man back to the hotel? I put the cap on his head and the sunglasses on. It'll be bad if people see him like this at this hour.
-At the hotel-
Now, we're in front of Levi's room. Luckily, there aren't many people outside right now, so I've successfully arrived without any trouble.
"Levi, where's your card key?" I slapped Levi's cheek slowly, but he didn't show the sign that he'd be waking up soon. Tch. How much did this man drink, really?
I looked for the card key in his pocket and finally found it. I opened the door, made my way to the living room, and laid him on the bed. Should I wrap him in a blanket? Ugh, seriously, why am I doing this now? I put the blanket on him. I look at the time on the wall. It's already 12:30. I don't even have a shower yet, and I promised to have breakfast with Louis tomorrow. After making sure everything was okay, I left Levi's room.

-The Next Day-
-Levi POV-
We're boarding the flight to go back to France now. My mind kept thinking about what happened last night. When I woke up this morning, I was on the couch in my room. Did Felix bring me back? But I never told him where I'd be staying. I kept talking to myself, and to kill my curiosity, So, I decided to call him myself.
-Earlier in the morning-
"Yo, Levi. What is it? Did you get back to the hotel safely last night?" Felix inquired as soon as he answered the phone.
"Luckily, I did. Are you the one who brought me back?" Without beating around the bush, I asked him the question of why I called him.
"Me? You're totally wasted from last night, and you don't even tell me where you're staying. Of course it's not me." He said it over the phone. In his voice, I could hear his annoyed tone.
"Tch. Then who is it? Are you saying I went by myself yesterday?" This time, it's my turn to feel irritated.
"If you go back by yourself in that condition, you'll find yourself on the street the next morning, you idiot. Your secretary brought you back to the hotel himself." Felix's words clearly shocked me.
"My secretary? Did you mean Mr. Auclair?" I asked a stupid question, and the answer was clearly him.
"Who else is there? Well, I didn't expect the second young master of the Auclair Family to be your secretary. You've been calling him so many times, no wonder he called back. I offered to send you back myself, but he refused and forced himself to come to my house instead. You got yourself a good secretary, Levi. Maybe you will find a good partner soon. Felix keeps talking, and I just listen with my mind somewhere else. Haruka offered himself to bring me back.
"Well, thank you, Felix. I'm sorry for the troubles, btw." I heard what I wanted to hear. Next, I'll confront Haruka myself later.
"What? Is that all? Don't forget that you promised to treat me, Levi." Felix grumbled over the phone.
"Alright, alright. Come to my cousin's wedding next Saturday. I'll treat you to something sweet in Paris later." This guy really can be so annoying all the time.
"Alright then. Have a safe journey back to Paris, then." With that, I hang up.
-Back to the Present-
I can't believe Haruka himself brought me home. He's not the type to do such a thing for me when he clearly hates me after what I said to him before. Well, I should buy him something to thank him later.
