187 CURSED FOR LIFE (1/2)
In another part of Supreme, a flustered Furukawa Shun poked his head into an office first before the rest of his body followed. He walked cautiously as if he was afraid that a beast would jump out and attack him. Even though it was a bit ridiculous, he felt that his nervousness was justified. After all, every time he met with the owner of this office, he would lose miserably.
”Little Shun, I am glad that you could make it.” The door closed with a bang, revealing a princely man who was standing behind it.
Shun had not noticed him because he had not closed the door after coming in. The familiar refined voice made him jump like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He turned almost robotically to face the man who had apparently been hiding to scare him.
”You are thinking too much. I was merely getting a pen from my coat.” He shook a simple pen in his hand. Indeed, there was a coat hanging from a hook on the door.
Contrary to his royal image, Wang Che's office was a bit messy and lacked finesse. The only thing that indicated that someone cared about the office was an elaborate cabinet with a range of fantastic model cars and motorcycles. The rest of the room was just a collection of general office essentials placed in an untidy and poorly thought-out fashion. It was no wonder he could not find a pen.
”I was not thinking anything.” Shun denied his earlier thoughts immediately. But in his heart, he believed that Wang Che had been waiting for a while to pull this move and scare him. It was the kind of thing he would do.
Wang Che smiled knowingly as he walked back to his desk. He shuffled the piles of papers on the surface for a while before digging out a document. He checked it casually before beckoning to the other man to come closer. Shun took small cautious steps towards him and sat down on the seat opposite Wang Che.
”Sign it.” Wang Che did not waste words.
Shun read through the document which confirmed the transfer of the vehicle from Clarion Motor City. It was the reward for the Secret Realm game. He did not find anything wrong with the details, so he directly signed it.
”I will be going now.” He declared without further ado, completely ready to leave this wolf's den.
Though Shun acted like a small endangered animal, Wang Che had actually never harmed him in any way. In fact, it could be said that he was extremely nice to him, to the point of being indulgent. Sponsoring his events regularly was one of the few things that he had done for him since their first meeting.
But for some unknown reason, Shun always felt a sense of crisis whenever he was near Wang Che. He always felt like a little juicy rabbit before a ravenous wolf, not that he would use this analogy out aloud.
He did not know how the man had come to be known as a gentle prince. He was obviously a deadly vampire masquerading as a prince, waiting for the right hour to suck the blood out of guileless victims. Unfortunately, Shun was unaware that this side of Wang Che was only seen by him. Not that he would be thankful or glad if he knew this…
”Not so fast, Little Shun. You know it will not be easy to run.” Wang Che lips stretched into a wicked smile, unlike his usual perfunctory one.
Shun's head drooped in dejection, making a sad picture. However, Wang Che only laughed without sympathy.
”What do you want this time?” Shun asked with a cautious expression.
Wang Che always demanded something from him, regardless of who initiated their business dealings. Usually, he would be required to participate in a 'fun' activity alongside Wang Che. The first time, the man had forced him to seat in a sports car with him while they drove up on a meandering road in the mountain at ungodly speeds. It had scarred him forever.
”I have not made a decision. It is a pretty good car.” Wang Che looked at Shun with a smirk. ”Right now, I am more interested in Hu Lei. What can you tell me about her?”
