Chapter 1

"I didn't want to fall in love , not at all. But at some point you smiled and holy shit I blew it"

"Here are your drinks , Sir"

Placing the fifth tray down on the table , Ayuzawa Misaki clutched her apron tightly and bowed a little silently sending looks of disapproval at the men who didn't stop giving her lustful looks.

To say that these men were drunk was beyond an understatement. Out of the crowd of men present on table number 5 , Misaki was assured that everyone had had at least three glasses of alcohol and none of them could really hold their alcohol.

And she knew that once they lost control the waitresses around along with her were going to have a hard time.

"Time for you to switch with us girls" She exclaimed , walking inside and grabbing the counter and leaning over it , picking up a shot of vodka and draining it.

"Your wish is our command , Milady" Her co-worker , the bartender namely Luca (People liked calling him Italian Sauce) teased for he was one of the two people who knew her secret and who she really was.

"Shush Luca" Shooting him a glare as he laughed taking out three different wine bottles and placing them on the counter.

"You have come to fetch?" She asked , a little surprised "I thought you always keep enough for the day cause your intuition never lets you down?"

"Alas it doesn't , Milady. But today I have been ordered to serve the bottles and not wine glasses and as you know I never finish one bottle at once so that really can't be presented to our customers"

"I see. Krug Clos d'Ambonnay , Domaine Leroy Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru aandd Boerl & Kroff Brut" She said recognizing the wine bottles.

"Absolutely right , Milady. All these must be common for you , huh?" He asked , grabbing them and walking off.

"I am not into drinking but I guess it works time to time"

"We should drink together someday!" He called "I'll show you why people come to 'The Wine'"

"Obviously it's for my world class wine whipping skills!" They chorused , laughing as he walked out and she , further into the kitchen.

'The Wine' was one of the most expensive restaurants in Tokyo. Situated at the heart of the city , the restaurant was always buzzing. People seldom used the restaurant on the first floor for the charm of the restaurant was it's bar on the ground floor. From business meetings to couple dinners all sorts of people showed up and getting a reservation was very hard.

But who would believe a person if they said that they found the CEO of the Tokyo Law Firm serving them food and drinks as a waitress. In fact , she had been working here for two weeks straight.

"Table number 5!" Someone called out and Misaki sighed. She eyed the tray of food and silently made sure no waitress went to pick it up.

"Misaki?" She swirled around at the sound of her name and immediately lowered her face for the lighting inside the kitchen was more bright than the dimmed ones outside.

"Yes?"

"Your shift finishes in half an hour and then you can just help Luca clean the island bar and you are done for the day" The manager stated walking past her , ticking things off his list.

"Y-Yes. Thank you" Misaki bowed a little and wondered what would have happened if he had actually paid attention to her face. She hadn't even told people her full name 'cause the mere mention of 'Misaki Ayuzawa' could have heads turning.

Slowly turning to face the madness around the kitchen , Misaki sighed already missing working at her place. She hadn't been to work for two weeks now with the vice CEO managing her work with her barking orders on the phone.

She walked out and straight to the island bar which took an entire wall of the huge room. Walking next to Luca , she turned glasses upside down picking out orders and pouring the ordered wine and ice cubes into the glass and passing them onto Luca to do his magic.

Luca wasn't all talk and no work. He stood for what he was always proud about. He had been working in 'The Wine' ever since it first opened 7 years prior to the present and it was safe to say that his bartender skills were often the reason people bothered to stop by. Other than that , either it was his rugged appearance where he defied the usual uniform by keeping an open collar with an entire arm full of tattoos along with three piercings only on the left ear accompanied with a lopsided boyish grin or the fact that he was the famous Italian Hotelier Alessandro Marcos' youngest son.

"Why are you so shy? All I asked for-"

"-S-Sir ...p-please l-let go"

Averting gaze from her glasses , Misaki looked up and noticed that one of the drunkards from table number 5 had Sakura by her wrist , his hold tighter than what Sakura could have gotten rid of.

Moving out from behind the bar , Misaki walked towards the table with an intention to kick the drunkard where his family jewels were must the situation worsen.

"S-Sir…" Sakura was trying her hardest to pull herself out of his iron grip which only made Misaki's footsteps pick up pace as she briskly walked towards her friend.

"C'mon babe. One night can't hurt you and I promise to make it fun even for you"

"S-Sir..please let me go. A-All this is m-making me uncomfortable.."

"Why would I let you go?" He slurred , clutching Sakura's hand tighter if that was even possible making her yelp "I just got hold of you"

Suddenly and shockingly Sakura was pulled away from the man and behind Misaki who stood tall and intimidating in front of the drunkard who seemed unfazed about what had happened and only leaned back in his chair.

"Please refrain from touching our staff so carelessly like this" Glaring him down , Misaki spoke in a clipped tone.

"Oops?" The man spoke , downing another drink.

"Sakura" Misaki whispered , moving her head towards her traumatized friend who was shaking uncontrollably "What did I say about leaving this table to the guys?"

"I-I a-am s-sorry"

"Let's go" Misaki proceeded to grab Sakura's hand and walk away when someone grabbed her hand

"If you won't let me have her" His voice dropped down to a whisper "Let me have you instead"

"I am tired of it"

"Isn't it like the 4th time this week?"

"Yeah I flew out four times this week just to skip it"

"Here are your bottles , Sir"

Emerald orbs averted their gaze from the rim of the glass they were glaring upon to face the bartender who had the three wine bottles in his hand which they had ordered.

"When did you order all this?" The pop idol asked , lowering his muffler and nodding towards the bartender who was already walking away.

"Before you guys showed up. I didn't know you guys were coming"

"Liar" Accused the CEO of the Igarashi Incorporations popping a bottle open "Great. I was in a mood for Boerl & Kroff Brut anyway"

"I am gonna watch the time till Chiyo shows up to pick her drunk husband up" The pop idol smirked at his friend , flipping a glass over.

"Pshh don't jinx it" Tora replied in annoyance "I never ask her to come. She still knows when I am going out to drink anyway"

"Is getting married that bad?" Questioned the CEO of Walker Corporations who was had gone back to running his fingertip along the rim of his glass , head resting on the palm of his other hand with the elbow placed on the table.

"Not if your wife is like Chiyo" Replied Kuuga , taking a sip of his drink and tossing his beanie on the table "How many glasses have you had already to be asking such questions?"

"Six? Seven?"

"Woah woah then" Taking Takumi's glass away from his friend , Kuuga placed it near him so that he could keep an eye on how much his friend drank.

"Gerard must be pestering you too much huh? You never drink so much"

"You know what I have been hearing for the past 6 months. Get married. Meet his daughter. The CEO of this company is single. Worldwide beauty. Top class model. Honestly if I wanted to get married , I would find someone myself"

"Even if you don't want to get married , Gerard will make sure you do"

"That's the entire problem"

"You wanna deceive him?" Tora questioned , raising an eyebrow.

"How?"

"For instance , this is just an example-"

"Do you really want to say no , babygirl? I could give all the money and luxury you would ever want. Just agree to it already"

The conversation on table number 8 momentarily stopped as the three men turned to face the commotion which had made the entire restaurant go silent.

"Perverted old aged hags like them are everywhere" Kuuga sighed , returning to his glass.

"Intervening is troublesome" Tora stated , pouring himself another glass. After taking a sip , he clicked his fingers to grab his friends' undivided attention "Like I was saying , to deceive Gerard won't be an easy job. We need planning"

"Uh huh" Takumi agreed half heartedly , still watching the scene taking place.

"For that , you'll need two things" Tora continued holding two fingers up "A girl who can act well. A girl who has an equal social standing"

"I can understand the social standing part. Why the acting?" Kuuga questioned moving his gaze away from Tora to the waitress getting harassed.

"We can't really expect Takumi to really marry a girl" Tora smirked "Right?" He asked Takumi who was still watching the open harassment scene taking place in the restaurant "God Takumi. Are you even listening?"

"We should help them"

"Really Takumi? This ain't the first time this has happened and we know what the outcome will be. The girl will eventually give in"

Takumi's gaze averted and suddenly he wasn't watching the scene anymore. His eyes followed the raven haired waitress who walked towards that table and yanked her fellow waitress away from the perverted old man.

"Please refrain from touching our staff so carelessly like this" She coldly requested almost daring the guy to oppose her orders.

Takumi noted how authoritative she sounded for a girl who was a waitress at such an expensive restaurant. The lighting was dim and he was a little tipsy but he was sure he had seen the girl somewhere.

"Oops?" The pervert replied in a sly manner as the raven haired muttered something to her terrified friend.

"Let's go-" The girl grabbed her friend's hand and turned around.

"-Takumi? Are you even listening?"

"If you won't let me have her" The pervert grabbed the amber eyed waitress' hand and whispered which was quite clear considering the entire restaurant was silent "Let me have you instead"

The entire restaurant watched in eerie silence as the waitress let go of her friend's hand and turned to the pervert "You want to have who?"

"You"

Pulling her hand away in a heartbeat , Misaki seethed "I thought you heard me the first time. But just incase I will repeat it again , don't touch the staff so recklessly"

Slowly and almost falling over twice at the attempt , the pervert stood up and grabbed Misaki by the back of her collar pulling her back to him and immediately wrapping an arm around her.

Misaki's nose scrunched up in disgust and so did most of her senses as she came in contact with the sweaty man who reeked of nothing but alcohol. The arm around her waist was tighter than she had assumed but not entirely overpowering her. She took her leg back to kick him where she knew it would hurt the most when something made her freeze in her tracks.

"Takumi?" Tora asked surprised as his friend got up "Where are you going?"

The man was groping Misaki's in places she wouldn't ever allow a man to look at let alone touch. He was getting an entire feel of her lower curves enjoying every small bit of harassing her. Oh how Misaki was going to make sure she tortured him properly enough to give him the surprise of his life.

"Hey , Mister?"

Suddenly the man was pulled away from Misaki as he was forced to turn around to face the intruder who had interrupted his little scene and was currently holding the man by his wrist.

In the blink of an eye. The Emerald eyed stranger had pulled the pervert toward him.

And punched him square in the face.
