During a serious conversation with Uncle Brian, Ojisan Hiroki, and Kenzo, Darren is unaware that a pair of light brown eyes are watching him intensely and with admiration. The woman did not blink just because she noticed Darren's lip movements and the man's facial lines that looked cold but still looked handsome. The owner of those beautiful eyes was none other than Keiko Oda, for the first time there was a man who managed to attract his attention.
"In the meantime, I'll answer the phone first." Darren paused their conversation for a moment. He wanted to answer the call that had not stopped vibrating, he deliberately put a shaky mood on his phone so that their conversation was not interrupted. But it seems that the one who contacted him has important business with him so he repeatedly contacted him. Darren then stood up and moved away from the three.
Darren frowned when he saw the name on his phone screen. "Miss Vero?"
Darren was reluctant to answer, but he wanted to know what she meant by contacting her repeatedly. Darren's thumb immediately scrolls the green button and attaches the phone to the earlobe.
"What's wrong Miss?" tanyanya to the point.
"Aaahh, fuck. Why are they still following me?"
Deg
Darren's heart was pounding, the woman's voice was faintly heard with the sound of objects rubbing. Is it possible Miss Vero didn't realize her phone was making a call? thought.
"Ahh, Larry why have you been so long. Should I try to contact her again?" the girl's grumbling across there. "Berinsk. Why are they still following me?" he continued to panic and fidget. That was what Darren caught from the tone of the woman's voice.
"Miss, are you okay?" Darren tried to be sure, but there was no telling from there. And I don't hear any more voices. He looked at the screen of his phone and the call was disconnected. "Damn!" his screeches.
Darren ran away leaving Uncle Brian, Ojisan Hiroki and Kenzo staring at the man question mark. Even crossing Keiko who was passing by him. Darren was already in the yard and trying to contact his men. What exactly happened to that woman?
"Fast track Miss Veronica's whereabouts right now!" his orders were to his men who answered his call.
"Good Boss Darren." His men understood. Without asking any of his men already understand what they should do. Deploy the team and track down the whereabouts of the woman.
Darren is rough with his hair. His flat face was riled up and I don't know what was on his mind, only the man himself knew. I hope nothing happens to that woman. Otherwise, he could already imagine her sad Miss Elie's face thinking about her good friend.
When Darren turned his body he jumped in shock to find a beautiful woman with an Asian oriental face. The woman's eye line looks right on the Asian woman's face, not narrow and not wide. Thin and tiny lips and a pointed nose, not excessive. Just this time Darren saw the face of a woman up close. Erat, he had once been close to Veronica, even still fresh in his memory of the woman's lips are a little thick at the bottom. As well as other parts that appear more prominent than Asian women in front of him.
Oh, shittt's. What was I thinking?!
Darren was pinning his stupid thoughts. He was not the wild-minded type of man, even to the woman who was naked in front of him.
"Your name is Darren?" The woman's voice restored Darren's consciousness and highlighted the woman before him.
"really. What's the matter Miss?" sahut Darren flat.
The heavy voice of the man was able to produce a wave of shakes in Keiko's body to spread to his heartbeat which was now racing.
In order to control himself, Keiko took a deep breath silently. "Hm, I just wanted to thank you properly because you helped me yesterday. If there were no you, maybe I would have been hit by a big log and it would have ended up in the hospital" he said softly.
"No problem, Miss. Whoever I see is in danger, then I'll help him."
Darren's reply made Keiko smile wryly in the heart. So not only himself, the man will be willing to help anyone in danger? thought.
"But still I have to thank you." Let it. Most importantly Keiko expressed her sincere gratitude. "And I want to invite you to lunch at my house and-"
"Sorry Miss, I seem to be a little busy this afternoon because I have to finish my work so I can quickly return to London." Darren interrupted the woman before him. He refused firmly and gave an explanation that the woman could understand.
"But Darren, I-I"
Darren's phone ringing voice stopped Keiko's words that were about to protest.
"Sorry Miss, I have to answer the phone. Excuse me." After bidding farewell, Darren immediately passed to answer the call from his men, leaving Keiko who was clucking annoyed at being abandoned just like that.
"How's it?" darren asked then so answered the call from the men.
"Friends guy?" Darren frowned, inexplicably disturbed by the phrase 'male friend', instead of feeling relieved to hear if the woman was safe.
"really. Boyfriend, when we beat up two men who were following Miss Veronica, suddenly her friend came and took her away."
There was no word from Darren, the man was busy with his own thoughts.
"Boss Der, are you still there?" Until his men have to make sure if their calls are still connected.
"Yes" he replied after a few seconds of silence. "Who are those two men?"
"Only fanatical fans Miss Veronica. They claim to have followed for days wherever Miss Veronica went."
Hearing the report across there, Darren took a deep breath. "Then spread the men to watch him from afar."
"Good."
Phone connection disconnected. For a moment Darren stared at the screen of his phone. "Something's wrong with me. Why did I have to watch her from far away?" confused muttering. He then stepped back and headed towards the open guest yard.
***
It's been almost a week since Darren was in Japan. It provided a better strategy for the defense of the Young Shogun Clan. By equipping Kenzo some of the knowledge he mastered. Kenzo is certainly very happy, in addition to taking care of the company he can become the leader of the Young Shogun Clan.
"Why don't you become the leader of the Young Shogun Clan?" Uncle Brian blatantly showed objection if his son became the leader of the Young Shogun Clan. He was worried about his son's safety.
"I don't care Pa. All this time I was able to guard the Young Shogun Clan when Grandpa Yushio was unconscious." Kenzo disagrees with his father. He is not weak and can protect himself.
"But Ken, your life is at stake!" Uncle Brian's voice rose, somehow again he told his stubborn son.
"Ck, I can take care of myself, Pa. Besides I'm not alone, there's Nobi and Dai who are always with me." However Kenzo remained in his stance, he would become the leader of the Young Shogun Clan just as Grandpa Yoshio wished.
Uncle Brian sighed. He could not change his son's decision, so inevitably had to agree to it. "All right.." The break up was in the end though heavy.
Darren and Kenzo looked at each other, Kenzo's smile expanding. Actually, unbeknownst to his father, he has practiced a lot to become a leader and even he has often killed in his own way.
"Then everything is decided. If Kenzo were to become the leader of the Young Shogun Clan. I'll tell Daddy. And before I go back to London, I'm going to meet Grandpa Yushio" Darren said.
"It looks like you really can't wait to get back to London" said Uncle Brian. "Is your boyfriend there waiting for you?" added flirting. Uncle Brian actually thought that Darren already had a girlfriend.
Kenzo who heard it just chuckled. He knows full well that Darren doesn't have his girlfriend. Let alone the lover, close to the woman only his cousin had kept his distance first.
"No Uncle, no one is waiting for me" Darren said quickly to the point of causing Uncle Brian to frown in confusion.
"Darren doesn't have a lover, Pa." And Kenzo's words clarify his cousin's status.
"Ah, so." Uncle Brian nodded in understanding. "Then, do you want to consider Keiko to be your lover Der?"
Uncle Brian's words left Darren stunned, while Kenzo's body stiffened.
