Sunlight burst in from the window that was already wide open, Irene blinked her eyes due to the glare. Yesterday he arrived home at four o'clock in the morning and now he has to wake up to interview several companies of Alice's choice. It felt like just a second ago he closed his eyes and now he had to open his eyes wide to get up past this morning.

“Wake, Irene!" alice said as she patted Irene's cheek.

Irene growled, hiding her face behind a pillow. It's very difficult to open both eyes that are already like in super sticky glue.

“I beg you five more minutes” Irene's pinta with eyes still closed.

Alice snorted in annoyance, waking Irene from her sleep was one of the most annoying things. Alice pulled the pillow and blanket from Irene's body and then pulled Irene's hand to change the position of the girl so she sat still with her eyes closed.

“Don't five minutes, I won't even let you miss a second! You must be excited, I have given you many lists of the greatest companies for you to come to”, Alice exclaimed as she shook Irene's body.

Irene ruffled her hair in frustration, Alice really woke her up mercilessly. Basic sucks!

If only Alice knew if Irene arrived at the house at four in the morning, she could imagine the severity of the drowsiness inherent in Irene at this time. About in prison, Irene chose to keep it a secret from Alice, there will be a lecture with the longest duration if Alice knows about the incident. Surely Alice's hospitality could make Irene vomit blood and go deaf.

"Irene, open your eyes dear" said Alice softly.

"Alice, come on" Irene whined with her eyes still closed.

“Why are you making things difficult for me? Why don't I work for the Banner family company?” Irene asked with her eyes still closed.

“Ayolahh, Irene! C'mon wakeup! I'm successful because of my family legacy, I want you to start from scratch. You have to make me proud and feel successful to have educated you as the younger sister of the Banner” family, explained Alice.

Irene only growled softly at Alice's half-conscious words she heard, it felt like half of Irene's body was still trapped in the dream world. With effort he opened his eyes that felt heavy.

“Alright, Alice! I according to you” said Irene then got up from her king-size bed and walked towards the bathroom.

After finishing the bath, Irene polished her face with natural make-up. He looks so beautiful just by using a brown shirt and a long skirt that there is a thigh-high hemisphere with beautiful circular heels on his feet, he looks so charming.

Irene went down the stairs to meet Alice in the living room, where she saw Alice who was busy tidying up some files and maps. Alice who noticed Irene's presence was stunned, her mouth slightly opened in amazement at Irene's beauty. Yep! During this time Irene rarely plays with make-up even she is not good at dressing up.

“Look you’re so beautiful!!” praise Alice.

“I'm sure, you said that so I'd be more obedient and obedient to you” cynical Irene.

“No. This time you really look beautiful” said Alice while giving a list of the names of the companies of her choice.

Irene grabbed the list.

“This time? So I looked ugly before? Looked bad? Ter—“

“Do not talk much and quickly read the list of names of the company that” cut Alice.

Irene pouted and her gaze shifted to looking at the list of some of Alice's chosen company names, not many, here there are only five choices of company names that Alice suggested.

“I suggest five companies to you, I really hope you can work at ‘Lorwerth Corporation’ or ‘Ricardo Golden Group’ because both companies are worldwide. If you are not accepted in both companies then you can do an interview with three other companies of my choice” explained Alice.

Irene only nodded obediently while still staring at the list of the five companies suggested by Alice.

“But, what if I get rejected by all five companies of your choice?” Irene asked plainly.

Alice just kept quiet while looking at Irene with a hard-to-read look, that look as if saying ‘get ready, I'll kill you’

Irene looked at Alice with a mischievous smile.

“No, no. I was just kidding”

“Alright, my first destination was Lorwerth Corporation” and then left Alice.

🍂🍂🍂

Irene parked her car in a skyscraper parking lot that read ‘Lorwerth Corporation’. There is really no other word but magnificent and luxurious that can describe this company building. It is fitting that Alice suggested this company, when compared to the company ‘Royal Banner’ is not comparable to the lobby of this building.

“Are you Irene Banner who e-mailed you yesterday? You came to do an interview, Ms.Banner?” ask the male employee who looks striking with his red tie, now Irene is sitting in the lobby.

‘email? Oh this must have been Alice who was too excited’ inner Irene.

“Ah yes, how do you know?” Irene asked plainly.

“You sent biodata along with a photo of yourself, Ms.Banner” replied the man.

Irene glared, oh it's worth it this guy recognized her even he knew Irene's last name.

“Mr.Lorwerth is waiting for you in his room” said the man then drove Irene towards a room upstairs with a door that is quite large and looks elegant.

In front of the door was already a beautiful woman standing gracefully as if waiting for Irene's arrival. The woman smiled kindly at Irene and then let her in.

“Please sit down, Ms.Banner” continues and leave.

Irene was sitting gracefully on the brown soft leather sofa, there was a man standing behind her facing a large window displaying a beautiful view of Boston, it seemed like the man was Mr. Lorwerth.

"Yesterday you turned me down and were rude to me, but now you're coming to see me" said the man, still staring out the window.

HOLY JEEZ! The man's voice, it seemed like Irene knew that voice. And what does 'yesterday' mean'? Irene was busy wrestling with her thoughts, could it be that man...?

The man turned around, then stared intently at Irene who was sitting gracefully on the sofa.

Irene glared in disbelief at the man standing up and looking at her. Holy hooch! The man was a stranger who kissed him yesterday. What's-her-name? Ziska's? The zino? Zee Zely? The zean? Ah, Arzean. His last name was Lorwerth, so Arzean Lorwerth.

"Are you very surprised, Ms.Banner?" zean asked Irene's mind.

"I'm sorry, it looks like I entered the room wrong" Irene said quickly, then moved away from her seat.

Irene walking towards the door would have opened the door yet, damn it! The door was locked from the outside, Irene felt panic and knocked on the door.

"Heyyyy!" scream Irene.

"Someone outside, please open the door!" shouted again.

Zean who saw Irene's reaction just smiled as he shook his head slowly.

"Do you know, Ms. Banner? You look like a scared kitten" Zean chuckled, but Irene was so cute and still yelling while banging on the door, wish there was someone kind enough to open this door of hell.

Zean walked up to Irene, seconds later he hugged the girl. Irene gasped in shock, her back body coming into contact with the front body of the man, Zean hugging her from behind.

"Who are you, Ms. Banner?" zean whispered with a hoarse voice right in Irene's ear.

Zean could feel the movement of Irene's hand that was constantly trying to escape from Zean's embrace.

"Take me off, Mr. Lorwerth!!" exclaimed Irene, but Zean even further tightened his embrace.

"I won't let you go until you tell me who you really are" Zean said seriously.

Irene growled in annoyance, what exactly does Zean want? Why is this man so passionate about her?

"Ghost!! You must have read an e-mail containing biodata about me, is that not enough to answer the question 'who are you, Ms.Banner?' " sinny Irene.

"That's not the answer I want" Zean said coldly.

Irene snorted in annoyance, this man hugging her is really annoying.

"I know" Zean hangs up his words.

Irene just kept waiting for Zean to continue.

"Yesterday your car didn't exactly hit that tree. You're just playing gas and brake with a drift technique that creates the illusion of you hitting that tree. You just parked your car by touching the tree a little, but it looks like you hit it because of the drift technique you're doing" Zean continued.

Irene fell silent. For a moment he thought and began to understand, Zean was no ordinary person.

'How could he know, it was all just an illusion of an inner drift’ technique Irene wondered.

“You've lived in Tokyo for seven years, haven't you?” zean asked Irene's mind.

“Are you a Hashiriya?” whisky Zean.

As soon as Irene's body stiffened, she swallowed her hard-earned saliva. Hashiriya is the name for a wild racer in Tokyo, Japan.

“You're just silent?” zean Pause.

“Okeyy, I consider as the answer ‘ya’ “.

“Oh c’mon! You're not just a stranger, but now you're a demon to me! You hugged me like this to interrogate me, are you satisfied now?” Irene said emotion.

"Not yet" Zean chuckled lightly.

"You haven't answered, Ms.Banner”

"Alright" Irene sighed, she gave up, fed up with this ridiculous interrogation.

“Everything you said about yesterday is true. And yes, I am Hashiriya. I have acquaintances in Tokyo, he taught me to drive and then introduced me to some drift techniques until I finally became interested and became a Hashiriya” explained Irene at length.

Hearing that, Zean simply kept silent and took off his embrace. From the beginning he had already suspected that Irene was no ordinary girl.

Irene frowned confusedly, looking at Zean who did not react to anything after hearing his explanation. Irene was sure, Zean must be thinking strange things about her. Because now he knows, Irene Banner is a Hashiriya.

'Why is he just silent? What is he thinking?' inner Irene wondered.

Fuck that guy. I don't know what he thinks about Irene right now, Irene doesn't care, for him Zean is just a crazy stranger and a jerk.

"Why are you quiet?" Irene asked, but Zean did not answer.

"Oh calm down Mr. Lorwerth, you don't have to worry. Because I won't work for your company. And yes, if from the beginning I knew this company was yours, I wouldn't have wasted my time applying for jobs here" Irene said at length.

Irene could feel Zean staring at her blatantly, then seconds later Zean smiled.

"Amazing! You got accepted to work for my company" Zean said seriously.

"What?" asked Irene with the face 'are u kidding me?'
