My Stubborn Mistress

CA.S.SIE'S POV

Cassie quickly hit the brake after hearing someone calling out her name loudly. She looks around and found an angry guy walking towards her.

She was stunned. She stared at him who is now standing in front of her; his face reddened in anger. Sweat dripping from his forehead down to his white T-shirt which is now soaked from his own sweat.

"Cassandra Marivella Chen Young!" he repeated shouting her full name.

She doesn't know whether to be intimidated or laugh; not in a funny way, but she was amused, and entertained while staring at his sweating enrage face.

"Is this why you refused to be picking up?" he asked her firmly, suppressing his voice not to yell once again, but the tone of it is full of authority.

She can't help but choose to keep her silence, and gaping her eyes staring at him with mouth partly open. She can't find the words to defend herself. Why she always been speechless in front of this guy? She pressed her lips, and look down on the ground; waiting for a lecture.

"Do you realize how dangerous that was?" Shun pointing the stunts she did.

He began his scolding, Cassie thought. She looks up and gathers the courage to answer, "I've been doing it often, so I know what I am doing," she talks back, yet almost just like a whisper.

"And? Even so, how if there's someone, or animals below the ridge when you suddenly jump off from? Do you have an idea might what will happen to you?" there is anger in his voice but sincerity could also sense in it.

"I--," there's no excuse she can affirm. She knows, that her master is right.

Honestly, she already has been in many accidents; during her first try of jumping and flipping from those ridges. But now, she could completely pull it off and manages a safe landing.

Shun's discovering today, her chance to make him agree is thin. Cassie just remembered how she is planning to get Shun's permission; to continue traveling to her school by bike only. Instead, he caught her doing those stunts.

RIP to me..... Cassie mumbles.

SHUN'S POV

He was sitting on the long sofa reading reports on his Tab when Daichi and Jing came back.

"So how is it?" he eagerly asked Daichi who take a seat on the single couch across him.

"Ah, like how you predicted boss, she refused to be picking up; even to sent her lunch, she doesn't agree," Daichi reported.

Shun stays quiet, and in deep thoughts. "Okay," he said after a long moment.

Daichi scratched his head and shook it. He already knows if there were something bothering with his boss. Sometimes; he really chooses to share nothing.

"What are you sulking about?" Shun asked Daichi.

"Am I? I did not. Just frustrated about you," his reply that made Shun confuse. "Say it if something on your mind, boss," he added.

Shun is a bit surprised. Is he how visible to Daichi? Or just this guy he who has the only one has the courage to voice out his thoughts about him? "Nah... it's nothing," he responded. "Am just thinking, it is apparent she'll refuse at first," Shun stated without glancing at the man in front of him.

"Alright, let's eat now," Shun declared then sat up from the sofa, take leads moving toward the kitchen.

"It is rare for you to cook personally, boss. I will savor every spoon of the food!" Daichi exclaimed excitedly.

"Hah, you'll wash the dishes afterward," Shun ordered in a fun way.

"Yes, boss!" Daichi replied with full of enthusiasm.

"What are you both talking about? What's my worth I was hired full timed if I only do a few chores?" Auntie Ling commented as she heard their conversations. She is busy setting the food on the table when they entered the kitchen.

Daichi laughed loudly while Shun just smiled a little. When Daichi saw Rudolf and realize what he is doing; he immediately jumps on him, and scolded. Rudolf secretly eating on the sink, and Daichi did complain of how he could eat first without waiting for the boss.

Auntie Ling just shook her head while smiling; staring at these men. She's getting used to these boys. It looks like, they really form a good relationship.

After having a lunch break, Shun went back to the site with Rudolph and Daichi to continue the planning of his soon hotel and resort on the island. The pre-planning finished after three hours and they went back to the Villa. Shun immediately takes a shower to freshen up; after digging the afternoon snack Auntie Ling prepared for them. Daichi quoted how they will gain weight if they'll stay on the island forever.

Shun chooses the comfortable blue jeans and a white T-shirt, then paired to a black walking sneaker after he took a long shower. He told Daichi and Rudolf he will have a stroll in the neighborhood, which the two just said okay and just treated him like somebody.

Shun crosses his arms and shook his head while staring at these two. Looks who's the boss here? He chuckles and left.

He wanders the neighborhood, and he meets few residents nearby. He already walks a little farther when he decided to enter the Man-Made Forest.

While trailing the cemented road, he heard some rustles from the distance. The forest where so quite, that it could hear all the birds singing, and the animals that become this forest as their home. Shun saw a deer in the distance. He knew they were endangered already, and this forest is the safest place for them. He can't stop to feel proud.

Then the rustles are getting nearer him. He could hear the twigs twitching as a vehicle run across them. His eyes popped out when he realized who it is.

"Cassandra Marivella Chen Young!" he can't help to shout this girl's full name.

He does a longer pace towards her, who is now stopped pedaling and was shocked seeing him. He can't stop himself not to scold her. The stunts she made just now is very dangerous for non-professionals.

This girl is really stubborn about doing such an act, never thinks of her own safety.

"What I am going to do with you!" Shun murmurs helplessly, he then heaved a sigh after scolding her a little.

"Alright, let's go," Shun turn around and began walking. He stopped in a moment then glance on his shoulder.

"What are you waiting for, Cassandra?" he asked her.

Cassie followed him.

"Lead the way," he commanded.

Cassie glance at him before she goes to the front and leads the way.

* * *

In Cassie's thought, she knows that her Master was confused by a sudden of which route to take... but he stays composes, and wears his authoritative aura not letting her notice; that he is now lost in this woods.

Hehe... that's a secret . Cassie thought evilly.
