Sweet Obsession

Chapter 34

Namae's brain was in a wreck.

"I want onee-san to be my sister-in-law!" Ume was throwing tantrums.

'Sh'tttt.' Namae clenched her teeth.

Eiji on the other hand, had an unusual smirk on his face. His expression seemed like he liked what he was hearing from Ume.

'Dude- Why are you smiling?' Namae was creeped out.

In fact, he really did like Ume's persuasion.

"Ume-"

"Let's talk about this later, Ume." Eiji smiled at her.

"...Really?"

Eiji nodded.

Ume understood Eiji's gaze. "Okay." She smiled.

Amida, who saw this scene in the sidelines cast a glare at Ume. He knew that Ume was too smart to act like that.

While glaring at her, her innocent eyes locked gazes with him.

Ume then gave him a light smirk.

Amida raised a brow. 'That little sh't knows what she's doing huh.' He chuckled.

"As for you, Namae." Eiji looked at her.

"Yes?"

"You may go ahead first. I apologize for bothering you. Ume is alright now." He stated.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm fine now, onee-sama. I have appetite to eat now, thanks to you." Ume hugged her waist.

Namae patted her head. "That's good."

"I'll have Nathan to drive you home-"

"Oh no, I'll take her home." Amida offered.

Eiji almost frowned. "Fine."

"Let's get going, Ms. Namae." Amida held her hand.

But before Amida get to drag her out, Ume grabbed Namae's arm first.

"Ume?"

"Onee-san, can you please lean down a bit?

"Oh, uh, sure." Namae leaned.

Ume then gave her a light peck on the cheek as a goodbye-kiss.

"?!?!"

Amida and Eiji were surprised at Ume's bold action.

"Take care." Ume waved as her cheeks blushed slightly.

'AHCK- MY HEART-!' Namae clenched her chest from seeing Ume's cuteness.

While she was doing this, Ume looked at Amida and Eiji and snickered at them. She showed off a victorious grin.

It was like she was showing off the fact that she kissed Namae in front of them.

Because she already knew that those two's gazes had something for Namae.

'That brat.' Amida and Eiji thought similarly

'If my brother won't end up with onee-san, I'll just abandon my family and let onee-san adopt me.' She had a wild fantasy for once.

"Take care too, Ume. Stay healthy, okay? If ever you need me, just call me." Namae hugged her.

"Okay!" Ume smiled brightly.

"Let's go now." This time, Amida really dragged her and they left Eiji's residence.

...

*Clack*

The car doors closed and Amida sat beside Namae.

"To her house." Amida informed.

John, who sat on the driver's seat took a quick glance at Namae and he already knew where to head off.

The car then started driving.

"Um, thanks for the drive. You actually didn't have to do this haha." Namae broke off the silence.

"It's nothing."

"..."

"..."

Namae just stared outside the window to shrug off some awkwardness.

'Huh? How did they know my house's location? SH'T! THEY RAN ANOTHER BACKGROUND CHECK ON ME?!'

*Chuckle*

Namae heard the driver chuckling all of a sudden.

[A/n: don't read minds like that, John. It's illegal⁄⁠(⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠-⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠)⁠⁄]

Amida also wondered why John suddenly laughed.

"I apologize." John muttered as he went back to focus on driving.

'...Weird.'

"We've arrived, young master." John announced.

Namae looked outside and saw the Royal Villa's gates from inside. The car was currently inside the parking lot.

Amida went out first then opened the door for Namae. Amida offered his hand.

John went out of the car as well then bowed. "Have a great night, young master."

"Hm. You may leave."

"Understood." John smiled. He then heeded Amida's order and drove the car.

"Now let's go." Amida held her hand.

"Ha?"

..

Now, Namae and Amida were inside the elevator.

'What just happened? Why is he here with me? Is he gonna trespass in my unit?! No way!'

"Um, Sir Amida-"

"Amida. Call me that."

"A-Amida. Can you let go of my hand first?" Namae wriggled her hands as if she was escaping his hold since he held her too tightly.

Realizing it, Amida let her go.

"Thank you. And I have a question."

"What is it?"

"Why are you here again?"

"Huh? What do you mean? I live here."

"Ha?" Namae had a blank expression.

Suddenly, she recalled what the dealer said to her last time.

"Oh, and might as well remind you that the people staying in the tenth floor are with high backgrounds. These units are only like a peck for them."

'HOLY MOTHER OF-'

"Shi- I mean, wait." Namae bit her nail.

"I live on the tenth floor."

"Oh no,"

Amida grinned. "And if you want, you can visit my unit. It's in 27."

He leaned beside her ear and whispered,

"The password is 696969."

"?!?!!" Namae blushed.

*Ding!*

"AHAHA IT'S MY FLOOR! BYE!!"

Namae ran out of the elevator, her whole face tinted in red.

'F'''CKKKK WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME-?!'

She dashed off towards her unit in an embarrassed state.

Amida, who saw Namae running off like that suddenly laughed.

*Giggle*

"Ahh, I want her back."
