His Plan, My Execution

Chapter 7: I broke my nail!

Warning! Strong language. 

"Hey boss I have- oh!"

I turned around to see who will be Kurotsu-san's victim. I see Toshi-nii and smile warmly at him.

My smile turns into a frown as the realisation hit me. He knows I speak Japanese but the big boss doesn't. s**t!

Toshi-nii looks at me confused and then apologetically at Kurotsu-san. He bows and is slowly closes the door. Phew! Thank Goodne-

"Come in. What do you have?"

I drastically turn my head in the direction the oh-so-familiar voice came from. I wanna kill him. RIGHT. NOW.

I look a Toshi-nii all tense and nervous.

"Hello, Toshiro-san."I said to him in English hoping he caught up.

" Domou."(A/N: 'Domou' is 'hello' but in kind of formal way. It can also mean 'thanks')

I mentally facepalm myself, but trying not to show my frustration I tilded my head and gave 'what do you mean?' smile.

Toshi-nii looked confused. Shocked even. Kurotsu-san was clearly suspicious. He looked between me and Toshi-nii with a raised eyebrow, leaned in his leather chair and hand on his chin for a good minute.

Then Toshi-nii looked like he discover America. Thank f**k for that!

"Do you prefer I speak in English to you in front of boss?" he asked.

I tried really hard not to facepalm myself. Again. Add to-do list to kill him if I survive. My jaw is on the floor and I look at Kurotsu-san. He is comfortably seating in his chair with amused look, leaning on armchair.

Alright. Don't say anything until he asks. He might think that Toshi-nii asked that question so I could understand what they are talking about. Yes! Alright let's do this.

"Umm... Can you?" I asked in a timid sort of way and looked at Kurotsu-san.

God I hope this is it. Let it be it. Make him believe it and leave it there. He does not take his eyes away from me.

"What is this about?" He asked in English, without looking away.

Toshi-nii looked at me hesitantly and back at him.

"About those three men you told me to look into." He asnwered.

I looked at Toshi-nii with furrowed eyebrows. What three men? Is it those who I think this is about? Why would he look into them?

"Don't speak in English. Tell me everything now." Kurotsu-san said in Japanese. I drop my head looking at my hands to hide my smile.

"Those three men are Fumihiro Natsu, Hiroshi Yamamoto and his brother Ikki Yamamoto. They are well trained mercenaries. Work for company Merc. Cop. But there is one big problem." Toshi-nii informed in Japanese.

"What is it?"

"They are well respected, high-status bussinessmen. They cannot be killed easily. I know you told Miss Quins and us that she will do it on her own but not with such caliber. Whatsmore they work for someone as powerful as you. It will not be easy for her alone."

"DAMMIT!" I yelled hitting the armchair.

Goddamit all! Those fuckers are some high-rank assholes! What did I even expext? s**t.

After calming down a bit I realised what I did. s**t! I keep looking on the floor between my legs trying to think of some excuse for my  "unreasonable" behaviour.

Think Xela. THINK! You can't tell him you know Japanese, he clearly wouldn't like that. Also it would be a perfect oportunity to see if you can trust him. Quick... Think of somethi- got it!

"I broke my nail while training today!" I say looking at my hand with horrified look.

Toshi-nii is trying to hide his laughter behind a cough. His shoulders shaking. Kurotsu-san on the other hand looks at me shockes with rised eyebrows. Trust me if I could I would dig a hole and rot in there but it was the only thing that came to my mind! My face is heating up from embarrassment. I look down again biting on my lower lip and shutting my eyes close.

I whisper a small 'sorry'. Gosh... I am so ashamed, but at least they brought it. Kurotsu-san clears his throat.

"Right. Miss Quins. I have something else to discuss with you and it regards to my promise to you." He states with his serious tone again.

I look up and bite my toungue as I was about to say 'I know'.

"You see, we have found out who has kidnapped you. Those are 3 men; Fumihiro Natsu, Hiroshi Yamamoto, Ikki Yamamoto. Those three men are not only working for a very powerful man but are also of high-rank themselves. It would be hard for you to do it without going unnoticed." He looked me straight in the eye.

Uh oh... I don't like where this is going. But he has told me everything that Toshi-san said. He is honest. Good.

"But! I might have a proposition for you. To overcome this obstacle." he said with a sly smile.

Hello deja vu. And I think I know what he is about to tell me. I rise my eyebrow and smirk at him.

"Will you marry me?"
