Chapter 20：RLT (20)

~Russia, Ackerman mansion~

Izak grabs his phone with an unsatisfied manner. Sitting up with his boyfriend still in his embrace, he answers the call.

"Why look who is calling!! Is it not Leon Tsunatsu, our former allied partner."

"No need to rub it in." Leon hissed.

"Heh, right. You better have a good reason for disturbing me."

"Tsk, doesn't sound like you were busy."

"Oh, you want it to sound like it?? Well, you might feel uncomfortable hearing."

"Whatever! Anyways, I need help."

"With what??"

"Some unknown source emailed me, asking for his classified document..."

"His? You mean Alexei Plisetsky?"

"Yeah."

"And what if you don't give that person the info??"

"Xie would be in danger..."

"Seriously??! Okay, who do you think this person is??"

"Hm... Maybe Leonid."

"But why Laito's father??"

"From what I can recall, Leonid and Alexei never got along with each other. Less when he found out that Jewel is Alexei's daughter."

"Hm, that's true. Well then, Leon, I'll see what I can do. I'll try to get a copy of his document and send it to you through a secret source."

"Alright, thanks Izak."

"No problem. See ya."

"Yeah."

Izak hangs up the call, and throws his phone onto a chair. "Ugh, this is annoying."

"So... you have to work?.." His boyfriend, who was still in his embrace, asked.

Sighing small, Izak gives him a lovingly smile. "Well, yea I guess I have to. But I'll go later, Alex."

"Heh, no. You should go."

"But didn't you want me to stay by your side for a while??"

"Yeah, but we could do so tonight."

"Hm..."

"Just go."

"Okay, fine. Don't stay up too late if I come back home after dinner."

"Alright."

Izak lets go of Alex and gets out of bed. Walking to the closet, he takes off his shirt and takes out a grey suit. Izak stops his actions and looks at Alex who was currently having a nosebleed. He chuckles small as Alex blushes hard and quickly wipes away the blood.

"Hm... do you want to come with me?" Izak asked.

"Uh, okay."

"Then get ready."

"Alrighty."

After getting ready, Alex and Izak walks out the mansion and walk to the corporation.

"You really don't like getting rides by your workers huh?" Alex said, breaking the silence.

"Nope. I hate it. I prefer to walk."

"Hm... either way you still have bodyguards around you..."

"Yup."

"Its sort of uncomfortable."

"You'll get used to it."

"Right..."

Just as Izak was going to mention something, a familiar male voice speaks up.

"My my, haven't Prince Izak gotten very handsome from the last time we met."

Freezing from his tracks, Izak clenches his fists. "If you don't mind me asking, why are you here Alexei?? I thought you decided to stay at your homeland."

Alexei chuckles coldly as he appears in front of Izak. "Well, it gets boring. Not only that, I thought it would be nice to visit Creed and his family."

"More like to visit Jewel.. Well, you're just be risking your life."

"I don't think so."

"Right, anyways your being targeted."

"I don't know. But I think Leon knows, and is afraid of telling me."

"As ex allies, you know his ways of being. You'd be able to take it out of him. Do you plan on helping him?"

"I don't dare to go against you Plisetsky. We are allies after all."

"Good. Now, I'll wait until this matter is fixed. Once it is, I'll visit her."
