Ibusaki was such a chilled out guy. I learnt a lot about him. He was very realist.

The whole restaurant was empty by now.

The waiter was in his casual clothes. He placed the bill in front of us.

"The bill"

I was about to take my credit card out when the waiter took back the bill.

"Give that-"

Ibusaki raised his hand to the waiter, asking him to leave.

"Thank you"

He bowed and left.

"It's on me"

"You should've let me pay.."

"Now wouldn't that be very wrong?"

"Not exactly"

He got up and wore his coat. I picked my bag up and he gave me a hand shake.

Warm. Hands. Hot. Guy.

He started to walk away and I just stood there looking at him. He stopped, waiting for me to follow, I walked next to him.

He smelt so good.

Chef Ibusaki opened the door for me.

"After you"

"Thank you"

The cool breeze hit my face. I inhaled the contaminated oxygen from the air.
It felt relaxing even so.

We were now standing outside the restaurant. The streets were empty, all the places closing down after cleaning up. The lights in all the shops going off one by one.

I noticed Ibusaki looking at the restaurant, then he turned his head towards me. I bowed.

"Ibusaki San, goodnight"

"Hai. Goodnight"

His hands were in his jacket pocket. He nodded his head.

I walked towards my car and when I was getting inside I saw him getting inside his car as well.

He smirked a little and zoomed off.

I came back home and stalked Shibu's on Facebook.

There were so many Ibusakis on Facebook I couldn't find chef.

Realising that it's pointless to stalk him anywhere as it wasn't even a proper date.. "regular customer" was all he thought I was.

Still. He was very good looking.

I gave up after I started to squint my eyes at the laptop screen. Sleep time.

A few weeks later~

We finally had signed the business proposition from Mitsubishi. Our rivals were now our partners.

Hyundai and Mitsubishi.

I had to arrange a grand buffet after the meeting because of the large amount of clients and guests invited. Nami was taking care of the buffet arrangements and she would invite the guests on the list I made for her.

When I got back home my mom called me up. I picked her call.

"Hey mom"

"What kind of disrespectful behaviour-"

"Sorry mom I couldn't call. I called dad tho."

"Why not your mom? Why only your dad?"

"Mom. Sorry."

"Huh. Ok."

We spoke about financial issues and random issues and the issue I hated talking about most.

"You're not going to be young forever"

"Yes"

"Men don't like young girls"

"Ew mom no"

"Your age is perfect. Do you have any relationships?"

"Uhh mom"

"I'm coming over to meet your boyfriend"

"What?- mom I don't-"

"Of course you have one"

"No mom I swear I don't-"

"Young people and their lies I can hear it in your voice young lady"

"I'm not lying!"

"Ok. I'll come soon. Bye darling"

"But mom"

*beep beep beep beep*

She hung up on me.

Y U DO THIS MA?

I skipped dinner and fell asleep. The next three days I was making phone calls to random people, checking out banquets and stuff.

Finally the day had arrived. I was tensed cause I also had a small presentation and a speech.

I was fiddling with my files, looking for my speech when my clients waved to me and came over.

"Hello miss shizuki"

"Ohayo shizuki san"

I greeted them as well and then shooed them off in the most polite way, when Nami approached me with a new bundle of problems. I simplified as much as I could , then I felt a pair of eyes looking at me.

Unfortunately I couldn't see the eyes as his auburn hair covered them.

Chef Ibusaki.

Wait... why was he here?

Ibusaki POV

I had arranged the main dish myself and selected the menu. I approved of everything that they let me taste. I was actually very fortunate to have such good chefs around me.

We reached the glossy building with several glass windows. I checked everything once again and then paced around until it was lunch.

I noticed a familiar looking person.

It's her.

Shizuki.

What is she doing here?

I was staring at her and watching her do something very intently. Suddenly she looked up and saw me.

So she works here. Interesting.

I walked towards her and greeted her while nodding my head.

"Hello"

"Oh chef... hey"

"It's Ibusaki"

"Of course I know that"

She snapped rather cutely.

The girl next to her coughed.

"So shizuki.. do you work here?"

"Yes"

The girl next to her interrupted. Women.

"She's the CEO and shizuki ma'am he's the one who helped us with the catering"

"I see"

"I see"

We both said, at the same time.

She looked down with an unreadable expression.

The girl next to her started to walk away giggling and murmuring to herself.

"I don't think there'll be any food left in the buffet"

"And why is that?"

"Cause chef your food is so good I'm ready to go hulk mode for it"

I chuckled at her comment.

"I would've never guessed you were the CEO of this company"

She got annoyed.

"Why? Can't a woman be a CEO?"

"I'm trying to say you're very..."

"What?"

"Down to earth"

Her cheeks turned red at this.

"I'm not"

The girl came back.

"Sumimase Shizuki San we have to go you have about 3 minutes"

Shizuki nodded at her when I noticed the girl wink at her.

She looked at me again with a bling in her black eyes.

"Gomen. I have to go. Hope to see you later...?"

"Sure"

She started walked towards the other direction when I asked her what I wanted to.

"Shizuki"

She looked back. Her hair swaying back with her movement. Wow.

"Yea?"

"Haven't seen you around lately"

She cringed. Too personal I'm guessing.

"Chef.. I'll talk to you later"

She mouthed while walking off. Her perfume was still lingering in the air.

It was nothing I'd smelt before and it was refreshing.

Like Shizuki's absurd personality.
