41 CHAPTER 41 : The Law of Effec

Kahina opened her eyes when the car was moving away from Touma and she foolishly grins. She touched her head where Touma patted just now then she bit her index finger playfully.

'Oh, my goodness. Look at that foolish smile. Please God, protect my soul,' Han inner heart prayed when he saw the way she acted.

"Han..."

"Yes, Young Mistress,"

"I want you to execute the entire task I wrote earlier. That woman needs to learn her lesson." she calmly ordered him after a moment.

"Errr... Young Mistress. Are you drunk right now?" he hesitantly asked her because she looked like her normal self. The only difference was only her foolish grin and shining eyes.

Kahina burst with laughter after she saw Han hesitant look.

"Han, I am the daughter of Hinode Family. Do I look like easily drunk over a few bottles of soju? You need something much stronger than that to make me drunk,"

"But... Earlier Young Mistress seems... humph! Why???!" when he realized Kahina schemed, he was amazed. Han couldn't believe he was deceived with Kahina pretence. She seems so real and everything was executed perfectly.

"At first I thought they did the deed. I was so angry and I barged to the room but once I found out they did nothing but only talked about work it was embarrassing for me. So, I pretend I was drunk,"

"Yeah, it's okay Han. Just laugh. I know..." Kahina glared as Han laughed at her.

"Don't you think you went to extreme measure?" He wiped his tears. His Young Mistress is surely interesting.

"Have you heard about The Law of Effect by Edward Thorndike?" Han eyes move to left and right for a moment.

"I heard about it when I was in university but I only know roughly about it."

"Explain to me what do you know?" She pleased with Han knowledge. It was different with Ken. Ken was clueless about psychology and human behaviour because he was only graduated from high school before he started to involve himself with the family but Ken never asked anything about it and only waited for her explanation if she thinks of doing so.

'Ahh... Ken, I miss you.'

"The Law of Effect suggested any responses will closely be followed by satisfaction will highly be repeated and it goes vice versa."

"Good, Han. In simple word, if we give someone something pleasant as a result of one's action, they will likely continue their action in future. And if they did something unpleasant and be punished by it, they likely will never be doing it in again. So, that is what I did just now."

"I'm sorry, Young Mistress. I still didn't get it."

"Okay. Let me explain. The women were trying to seduce Touma and I'm making Touma choose me over her. It gave her the sign being rejected and failed. I showed her how Touma prioritize me over her even though he was working. Plus with extra care we will be given her starting tomorrow, I believe she will understand her stands."

Han impressed how she able to make used her disadvantages and embarrassment moment to her benefit in a split second. 'There is a lot I need to learn from her.'

"Do you remember about the yellow box I gave him every morning?"

"I do, Young Mistress."

"What did I do when I have a disagreement with him throughout the months?"

"You change the box to the black box with spicy chocolate."

"What happens after that?"

"Mr Touma normally clears his schedule to pacify you." she gave him thumbs up when his eyes indicated he realized what she was meant.

'Young Mistress, your method of controlling indeed is scary.' he only admitted silently inside.

"Young Mistress, what if Miss Ito did not give up on Mr Anzo?"

"Huh! Touma will never allow it."

"What makes you so sure?" Han was really interested in the topic.

"Well, it is almost two months I've been spending time with him and I openly showed my affection to him and tonight I confirm his doubt on how I truly care and protective over him even when I'm intoxicated. Believes me, he will make me his priority from now on."

What she didn't tell Han was Touma wall up himself from love after his mother died because he was afraid of being hurt and hurting the one he loves as he thought his mother was dead to protect him but when Kahina repeatedly showed and assured him her love, he unconsciously opens the door to his heart. He needs love and Kahina provided it. So, any action to gain Kahina's love, Touma will do it repeatedly and today, she confirms her feeling towards him when she felt pure rage to the fact Touma holds someone else instead of her.

Golden Well Apartment

"Arghhhh!!! That bitch was so annoying!" she really didn't expect the disturbance on her plan tonight. She supposed to went out of the restaurant together with Touma and gave the reporter full view of both of them. Even though later the fans might enrage to the fact she having a new boyfriend but she just needs to explain as it was only a business dinner.

And her circle would know she had a strong backer in the industries. It will give her a strong foot and her enemies will think twice before mess with her.

She started to throw everything within her grasp to the wall. The shattered glass covered half the room. It was completely messed. She threw herself to the bed and scream inside the pillow. After an hour of acting out, she picked her phone.

She posted on her Instagram the picture of a full table of food and Touma's hand at the side of it with the caption, 'Having dinner with someone special.'

The picture went viral and the fans went nuts with the presumption. She smiles at the comments written on the post. Most of them really curious about the man in the picture and they started to come out with the plausible names about the man.
