Sei-er gripped his phone as though he was about to crumple it the moment he heard Zaki’s voice.

"Sei, sorry but today is no good," he said and Sei’s cold aura burst out of control.

The man on the other side of the phone somehow expected what would be his reaction. Thus, when Sei remained silent, he continued talking to him.

"You don’t have to worry, I’m sure she will understand. And besides, you guys can still have the date another time," he continued but the man didn’t even make a single sound. That moment, Zaki could already tell that he might not listen to him. However, he anticipated it and he could only say the words ’as expected’ deep within him.

Zaki let go a deep sigh before he threw him the only lethal blow he knew will definitely make him give in.

"Don’t forget Sei, it’s not just you who will be in danger anymore. She could get caught into this mess. You know what I mean." He concluded and the call ended. As soon as Sei heard his words he seemed as though his frozen senses immediately awakened. Hearing that she might be in danger almost made his veins burst. Causing him to immediately gave in as he clenched his fist tightly as ever.

He knew that Zaki will only warn him like this if the situation was more than serious.

Davi on the other hand, could already tell something was wrong but before she gathered the courage to ask, her phone rang and saw that Mr. Chen was the one calling her.

"H-hello? Mr. Chen?"

"Err... young miss. There’s actually some problem so..." the man replied and Davi looked at Sei-er who still looks unbelievably cold.

"P-problem?" she repeated curiously.

"I’m sorry miss but tonight, the boss can’t---"

Before she could hear what Mr. Chen was trying to say, Sei-er suddenly reached out his hand with serious look, so Davi could only give the cellphone to him.

"I got it. We’re coming back," Sei-er immediately said to the man on the other side of the phone before he ended the call. The driver also immediately turned the car around as Sei-er just silently stared outside the window.

That moment, Davi was speechless and she could only sit back properly again when he suddenly heard a really rare word coming from him.

"I-I’m sorry," he said and he looked at her with a guilty earnest eyes. Causing Davi to almost forgot to reply him back.

"Ahh... it’s alright. We can still have a date another day, right?" she immediately said and she forced a smile. It was the first time he heard him said sorry so even though she’s undeniably disappointed, she wanted to understand his situation. She was aware that sometimes, things won’t just go as planned and besides, there’s still another day.

On the other hand, Sei instantly felt relieved the moment he heard her and he uttered the word "Mm" as he nodded at her. At the same time, his cold aura dissipated and he turned back to his soft and warm self again.

However, he was a bit taken aback when Davi asked.

"But, may I know the reason why?"

Sei-er remained quiet for a while before he replied. "Today is dangerous."

"D-dangerous? What do you mean?"

"..."

Sei-er didn’t answer. He just gazed deeply at her while he lifted his hand and he caressed her head gently as if he was telling her he was sorry but he couldn’t answer her. That moment, Davi felt like something just stung her heart even though she told herself that she understood. And it was not actually because of her disappointment that the date was cancelled, it was because of the fact that she couldn’t even know the reasons why.

Davi then went silent. She started thinking deep. She knew how mysterious Sei was, she knew that from the beginning, she was not allowed to know anything about his identity. However, she never once thought that one day, she will start to feel hurt every time Sei won’t tell her anything. She didn’t know that one day, being not allowed to know anything about him will slowly makes her felt little pain. A little pain that sooner or later will gradually grow within her.
