All of her days she spends it with spacing out and she becomes more quieter than before. Every day Risa will come to her house. Her house is not that far from her. Sometimes, she just comes with a bicycle to her house.

"Meimei~" She smiles and went to her from behind. Hug her shoulder.

Xue Mei turns her head around and glances at Risa. "What is it?"

"I will return to Japan tomorrow. I need to do something. You know..Evil things." She shifts to Xue Mei's side and takes a seat beside her.

She smiles a bit hearing the word 'Evil'. "Don't bash her too much. You should take care of your reputation too."

"Ah~ babe, it's not me who launch this attack, it was her in the first place. Wait, I'll show it to you." Risa rummages her pocket and takes out her phone.

Scrolling it for a few times, she curled up her lips "Ha..look at this."

Narrowing her eyes a bit, she looks at the screen. A photo of bed sheet and the view of a balcony with scenery of white snow behind it.

'Wait, that place looks familiar.' She turns her head around.

"She was at the same place as us that time?" She looks at Risa and she nodded.

"So, the one you said you want to kill is her?"

"No, but take a look at the floor." She zooms in the picture and it shows a man's shirt on the floor.

"Is it.."

"Yeah, Shou's shirt. When we leave that place, Shou did not leave any trace of him on the floor, but maybe she went to the closet and put it on the floor. Make it look like they've done it. Look at her caption."

Xue Mei nods her head and shifts her eyes to the bottom of the picture.

'It is the best night I have. Thanks, my dear. I love you! Can't wait to tell the world that I'm soon yours!'

Xue Mei gasps a bit. "Are they really.."

"No, if he really does it with her, I might probably kill him right away. I was there that night."

"You were there? So, you saw they.."

"No! Just half of it, yes. But not like what you're thinking!" Again, she interjects her.

"So, what is your plan?" Xue Mei ask.

"Of course, I let her have the first step first. Let her flown in the air so high and once she reaches the peak, we'll just make her 'pop' and she's disappeared." She smiles cunningly.

"You're really sly you know?"

"I know. This is not my way to let her have the joy but since Shou insists it, I can only follow his plan. As long he's not sided with her." She shrugged her shoulder.

"Hmm. Sometimes I'm a bit jealous to both of you. Even though you guys always bickering and not in the same term, but he always prioritizes you. He always wants you to be at his side. Well, even technically I also don't like him." She sounded a bit sad in her voice.

Rub her back, Risa said. "Sometimes, it's hard to forget the first love, okay. First love is what give you more experience and memory which you can't forget. But still, with times, you can eventually move on. Take a look at the bright side of it. Don't think too much. If you feel this is what you want to do, go along with your heart. But…"

She stops for a bit a look at the paddy field in front of them.

"Think it carefully and don't choose a way that leads to your sadness again."

Xue Mei did not say anything. She just stares the paddy field as Risa did.

After a few minutes, Xue Mei's mother calls them from the terrace. "Risa, Xue Mei..come in and have dinner."

"Coming, Aunty." Risa's eyes gleaming after hearing dinner. She likes to eat at Xue Mei's house. They always cheerful and she can at least feels how to have a family.

Xue Mei smile looking at Risa's happy face. "Come on."

Risa passes her, her cane and she walks back home using the cane.



Narita Airport, Japan. The next day.

Risa takes off her sunglasses once she spots Shou's bodyguard, Mr. Shinji. He is a tall man with a bulk body. His face always serious and he had a scar on his left eyebrow. One look, he looks exactly like a mafia.

"Ms. Igarashi-sama. Welcome back." He bows to her politely.

"Hi, Shinji. Is Shou here?" She asks once he raises his head.

"Master Shinji is at the office. He sends me to take you first. He will meet you later." He replies to her and he went to take her luggage.

"Hmm. Okay." She follows behind him before he opens the door for her.

Shinji drives off from the airport once he buckles up. Took out her phone, she updates her status.

'Returning back to meet my fiance. I hope he will like the surprise. Hee. : )'

She smirks a bit and waits for a few minutes.

Just as she thought, Erika also uploads a picture of her and Shou in the office room. She snaps his picture secretly and posts it with status 'I like to see how a man face's when he worked. So dedicate and serious. ~love'

She grips on her phone feeling like wants to throw it. She looks at Shinji and asks.

"Did Ms. Erika in Shou's office?" her voice sound cold.

Shinji at the driver seat could not contain his nervous. Even though he looks scary, he still will bow down to his master. And this woman at the back passenger seat is the dearest woman for his master.

"Yes, Ms. Risa-sama. But, Ms. Erika-san just comes because of the business matter."

"Business? Bullshit! She didn't own any shares from my father company. How does she have a business with him?"

Shinji gulps a bit. Actually, with her stepmother money, Erika buys 10 percent of Akatsuki shares using another name. With that, she actually had a bit of chance to be close with Shou. She wants to surpass Risa in everything.

Since Shou already giving her a hint, she wants to make him break the engagement with Risa and make her as his bride. Her mother also in a move to make her father to coax Risa to transfer her share.

Risa calls Shou's phone. After a few rings, he picks it up.

"Hello?"

"Having fun with that bitch?" She asks him with a cold voice.

"Jealous?"

"Fuck no! I give you 20 minutes to meet me, otherwise, I would never want to see your face again."

"Don't order me around. You know I don't like to be ordered."

"Hmm, okay. Up to you." She hangs up the call.

Shinji at the front glance Risa a bit from the back mirror.

"Erm, Ms. Risa-sama. Where to?"

Risa raises up her head and looks at the outside window. "Go to my apartment."

He nods and accelerating the car toward the place she mentioned.

..

Shou looked at his watch after she hangs up the phone.

"I think we're done, are we? I need to go somewhere." He said firmly and clean his table.

"Eh? But Shou-Kun, you promise me you will teach me about this company? It just only an hour since I came." Erika said with a girlish voice.

"I had an important thing. Sorry. I can ask assistant Tachibana to teach you."

"But Shou-Kun…" She tugs on his sleeves and makes puppy eyes.
