Eunice’s POV
“There is an investor in Germany. This is an opportunity to widen your company range and influence to another country. Grab it.” He said.
“What’s their business?”
“Car Company. Verwunderlich Corporation.”
“Hmn… That sure name sounds familiar. Don’t you think they should be the one coming here?”
“It will be like a site visit for you. Verwunderlich Corporation is the topmost company in Europe holistically. You can stay at my place there, Sweetie.”
“What about Sweet Heart? It will take ten hours and twelve minutes flight to Germany. I need to spend at least two days.”
“Oh, don’t worry about your Sweet Heart. I will be in charge. “You can also take some time to spend for yourself. You can go shopping.” He gave me a warm smile.
“Okay. Do not teach and say anything bad to my Sweet Heart or else I will kill you!”
“Sweetie, you can never knock me down.” He said and winked.
“Arggh! I’m so frustrated.” I rolled my eyes.
“These dishes are pretty tasty.” He ate mouthful of chopsuey.

Sensei’s POV
My phone beeped.
‘I landed in Berlin and heading straight to Verwunderlich Company now.’ A smile crept into my face.
‘Aren’t you tired?’
‘It’s better to finish business early.’
‘Okay. Take good care of yourself, eat at the right time and sleep early.’
‘Ugh! It’s so creepy to think you are saying that much!’ I suddenly laugh when I saw her text message.
I called my secretary.
“Clean all the pictures in my office. Hide it in the secured cabinet.”
“Daddy, aren’t you playing with us anymore?” a cute soft sound of a female voice resonated in my ears and small fluffy hands clung into my thigh. ‘This baby is really melting my heart.’
“Do not disturb father, he is busy. Let me play with you.” An understanding look was given to me by another handsome fellow. He seemed like a matured man in a little bitty body.
“You both really look like your mother.” I smiled widely and run my fingers in their hair. I cut the call and squatted down to face them. “What do you want to play? Hide and seek or animal walk?”
“We want to play catch! Hahaha! Heartlet’s run! Faster!” She held her brother’s hands and scampered around freely.
“Woooo! I’m a monster…I’m coming to eat you!” I deepen my voice and follow them like a vampire.
A joyful laughter resounded around the palace’s garden as I chase these two little cute imitations of Eunice Frunt. Both their faces are so angelic that if you get a glimpse of them, you will surely want to keep them. Sometimes, they can be mistaken as a doll. Their difference from Eunice’s features is the green pigmentation in their eyes and long lashes which they got from their father. They look so identical yet Sweet is so delicate like a rose while Heart is like his father, a frosted rock but so protective of his sister.
“Ahhh! Daddy I’m hurt! Huhuhu.” Sweet was tripped and cried holding her brother’s hand. Heart helped her sit on the ground and I immediately run to her.
“Butler Juan, give me the medicine kit!” I held her little feet and gave it a soft massage. “Are you feeling okay? Does it feel good?” I rubbed some ointment to her sprained ankle.
“Don’t cry now. Daddy is here to help you.” Heart coaxed her not to cry.
After some time, I carried her to the sofa and let her lie down.
“It will heal after two days. I will accompany you with that certain time and I will cook for you both.”
“Really daddy? I am so happy!” She exclaimed and hugs me. It’s rare to see the smile of young master Heart, too.
“You know what babies? I think it’s time for your father to make a move. There is already a threat lingering around your mother’s heart. He must make her fall in love with him and take good care of you or else, everything will be wasted.”
“But daddy, we already have you.” She hugged my arms with an expectant smile in her eyes.
“He must really claim his wife soon. Hahaha! You’re so cute let me give you two a hug!”

Eunice’s POV
“Guten morgen, gnädige Frau. How may I help you?”
“Good morning. I would like to see CEO Verwunderlich.”
“Do you have an appointment?”
“Yes.”
“May I know your name, please?”
“Eunice Frunt.” When she heard my name, her expression instantly changed.
“Let me take you to his office.” With the friendly demeanour, she led me to the elevator up the top floor.
The owner of this building is evidently deluxe. Modern styled and all the chandeliers are made of expensive glass in different colors, depending on the motif of every storey. Streets and other buildings surrounding here are apparent through the floor to ceiling glass wall.
“Please take your seat, das Fräulein. What would you like, coffee or tea?” The secretary asked me attentively.
“Tea, please.”
After a few minutes, she served me tea and I saw some employees peeking at me through the glass window. I felt uncomfortable so I tried to avert my attention by looking around the office. My eyes caught a frame with a guitar on it. It’s an old guitar… a very familiar one.
“Hey, Danhil Verwunderlich! Can you please stop? You are disturbing my sacred time!” I grimly shouted to the guy next to me. I am in my favourite remote area of the school, a lot of trees standing straight and it’s very peaceful here. No students can be seen except for this ‘mentally challenged’ guy sitting under the next tree. He is holding a guitar and is singing with all his heart. If this tree is not my favourite spot to spend my leisure, I surely have run away now. This guy is so annoying.
“I’ve made it obvious
I’ve done everything but say it
I’ve crushed on ya so long, but on and on you get me wrong
I’m not so good with words
Since you never noticed
The way that we belong
I’ll say it in a love song…”
“Are you really doing that on purpose? I’m reading a book here, okay?” I rolled my eyes on him.
“You can do whatever you want there, I can do whatever I want here. I’m not touching you or anything, alright?” He said sarcastically.
“Screw you!” I threw him the book I’m holding and closed my eyes while leaning on the tree. Thankfully, this is the sound of silence…
As I enjoy the silence… POK! He threw back the book at me and it hit straight my head.
“Aahh!” I held my head, look at him with creased brows.
“Ooops! Sorry!” he winks and grins.
I just glared at him for a moment and saw his lively green eyes. I was dumbfounded for a second then my eyes trailed off on his face and physics. Neatly combed hair, long lashes, good nose line, exquisite jawline, and strong built that is visible on his shirt. His smile is like a summer breeze, so warm that overwhelms the one’s heart. ‘Is he real or sculpted from a noble tree? Who is the talented artist that made him? Gosh, those eyes are like an exceptional jewel!’
