CHAPTER 3

"I'm sorry to make you waiting."

Kaoru shook her head. The man in front of her was one of her favorite client. Aoshi Shinomori—a 29 years old, dark haired, tall and handsome—had been her client since a year ago. He had always paid her handsomely and always treated her carefully. Kaoru liked Aoshi, he was a really nice man. She knew that this man had some kind of feeling for her but she pretended like she did not know. She was a professional after all.

Aoshi sat back to his seat in front of her. They had been eating their dinner when Aoshi excused himself to answer a phone call. It must had been an important call since Aoshi would never answer a phone call unless it was really important when they were together.

Kaoru looked at the tall man, he was cutting his steak with a deep frown on his handsome face. Aoshi had been stoic most of the time, but Kaoru would know if something bothered him. However she had spent quite some time with him. Kaoru took a sip of the red wine.

"What's wrong?"

He looked at her through his bangs, Kaoru smiled gently to him.

Aoshi let out a heavy sighed. He put his fork and knife and pinched the bridge of his nose, "You know what my job is, don't you?"

Kaoru nodded, he had told her once that he worked in a talent company as the talent's manager. He never talked much about his work though and she never really asked about it. She did not want to trespass his privacy. She was, once again, a professional.

"You're a talent's manager, aren't you?"

"Well," he continued, "do you know what that means?"

Kaoru did not answer.

He did not need her answer, "That means I have to take care of any business related to my talent. Like about the contract, the schedules, the costume…" Kaoru nodded, she ever heard about that, "But this talent, he started to make me do other thing too…"

"Like what?"

"Like to find him a new place to stay."

Kaoru raised her eyebrows, "Well… What's wrong from that?"

Aoshi sighed, "Everything. It is the 5th place I recommend him but he did not like it. He even hasn't taken a look at it! I emailed him the browser and he said no."

Kaoru laughed, "Just tell him to do it himself then."

Aoshi smirked, "I will."

Kaoru nodded. He ever told her once that he felt comfortable when he was with her. That he did not talk much in front of other people. Kaoru could understand that, the first time they met Kaoru almost thought that he was actually a robot. He had been expressionless and almost did not talk at all. But now, he often called her only for talking about something. She was a good listener, but when he asked her about her life she would just smile and say that was not interesting.

Sex with Aoshi was not really bad. Aoshi was not a really loving man but he was not either a beast on the bed. He would kiss her head lovingly after the sex and hug her. She enjoyed the sex, after all Aoshi was not a brute like Enishi, but that was nothing special.

Not like a certain red head.

It was in the middle of their sex when Aoshi's mobile was ringing.

"Just ignore it." He whispered.

Kaoru moaned as he kissed her neck.

The phone was still ringing.

Aoshi cupped her breast with one hand. He moved his hips slowly, he loved the way she moved against him, as if asking him to move faster.

The phone had not stopped ringing.

"Shit."

Kaoru kissed his ear, "Just answer it…"

He cursed under his breath before then angrily pulled away from her to get the phone. He scowled when he looked at the caller id on the screen.

"What took you so long to answer the phone?"

"What's it."

-

Kenshin frowned, his manager had never been this grumpy before, "What's wrong with you?"

He could hear his manager took a deep breath, "What is it?" He asked again his voice was back to his stoic one.

"About the house…"

"I will find you a new one tomorrow. I am … a little busy right now."

Kenshin raised his eyebrow. There was something wrong with his manager. First he seemed pissed off and now he was hiding something from him. But that was not his business.

Kenshin sighed, "Well, actually I had found one."

"Huh?"

"Well, Sanosuke's girlfriend is moving out and I think I would take her old room."

"Won't it be too girly?"

He smiled, "Fortunately no. It is a nice place, it has a great view…" he walked to the window and looked at the night view, "Well, I like it. She even left the sofa for me as the bonus."

"Where is it?"

"In Kanagawa." He opened the glass door and walked out to the balcony, "But I could always drive to Tokyo in only an hour…"

He waited for few second before finally he could hear his manager sighed, "Fine. Just send the bill to the company, they'll give you the money."

Kenshin laughed, "Well thank you. Bye."

After put back his mobile into his pocket he looked at the man who stood in the next room balcony while smoking. The man glared back at him, his hand hold a bottle of beer. Kenshin was just about to nod at him when the silver haired man rudely rolled his eyes and walked into his room.

"Weirdo." Kenshin muttered before went back to his room.
