Just when Emily was ready to die in embarrassment from the intense gaze that had been staring at her ever since she dared to ogle its owner, Sam decided to help her as he stepped out to stand right in front of her.

The pressure of that intense gaze disappeared as Sam hid her behind his well built almost six-foot body.

However, it also made her realize that almost everyone in the room was aware of what just transpired between her and the hot man with silver hair and blue eyes.

"Since you took your time in accessing the Sullivans, you can tell that their looks, though perfect and good, are nothing in front of your brothers' ethereal appearances. Right?"

The question that Simon whispered into her ear made her look up at her brother with slightly raised eyebrows.

Did he seriously want her to lie? But again, did she even have a choice?

"En!" She hurriedly nodded her head as a smile made its way to her lips.

There was no way that she was going to upset her brother for some strange hot freak with blue eyes and fiery gaze.

She heard a soft chuckle escaping Sam's lips while someone else scoffed as if he was disgusted by something.

On the other hand, her eyes mistakenly once again landed on the guy with those alluring eyes since Sam had moved away a little from the front of her.

She found him once again staring at her and this time his gaze was even more intense if it was even possible.

But this time Emily did not give him the satisfaction of embarrassing her in front of her own brothers as she soon averted her eyes and focused them on her eldest brother.

She almost got a heart attack when she found Domenic's eyes looking right back at her.

She just mustered a small smile at him before she tightly clutched Simon's arms and buried her face in his leather jacket.

How much she wanted her hair to be loose at that moment. They could have performed the best job of providing a veil for her embarrassed and also a little scared self.

Simon took pity on his little sister as giving a smug look to the Sullivans he started walking towards the right side of the room.

He took a seat on the huge sofa and pulled Emily beside him.

"Em, behave! You are representing the Alessandro Empire in front of our biggest competitor." Simon whispered into her ear as she continued to avoid looking at the human creatures that were present in the room along with her.

Simon barely finished his words before he watched in surprise as Emily immediately straightened her pose and looked straight in front, at the area where Sullivans were sitting.

Her eyes once again landed on the cute dude who was still busy working on his tablet.

She closely examined his posture which looked elegant enough even though he was too busy in his work.

"Why you keep looking at Mr. Kim?" Sam asked her in a barely audible tone as he took a seat on her other side.

Emily registered the name in her mind as she replied, "Why you guys did not give me a tablet or something? It could have been easier for me to survive this."

She was not expecting the sudden chuckle that escaped Rylan's lips, drawing her attention towards the boy.

Though he was not looking at her but this only made her question his sanity as he had no particular reason to laugh.

Her eyes unconsciously made their way towards the man with alluring eyes and she was left completely dumbfounded to see a small twitch on his lips that indicated that he too was amused by something.

The only sensible guy on the opposite side, Mr. Kim, also appeared to look as observed into his tablet as before but Emily could tell that he was trying to not smile or laugh or whatever.

She suddenly had a feeling that the Sullivans were making fun of her. Probably because they heard her. But how could that be possible, right?

Her attention was pulled back at Sam when one of their bodyguards appeared beside him and handed him a tablet.

She was too emerged in her thoughts that she did not even notice the man entering into the room.

Sam opened the tablet and started moving his fingers over the screen.

Emily could not see what he was doing and for the sake of keeping the image of the Alessandro Princess high and mighty, she restrained herself from peeking.

But soon enough Sam passed the tablet to her with a small smile visible on his lips.

Emily took the tablet and after giving Sam a quick questioning look she moved her attention towards the tablet.

A message appeared on the screen in bold letters, probably one typed by none other than the one and only Doctor Sam.

[I think I got the answer to the question of why were you observing Mr. Kim. But what about staring at the other man non-stop?]

The question took Emily by surprise for a few seconds but then a small smile broke out on her lips as she started typing the reply.

When she was finished, she passed the tablet to Sam who eagerly took it from her.

[Can't help when I've such an ethereal looking deity sitting right in front of me!]

Sam looked at her with raised eyebrows as his smile only broadened at her reply. He once again started typing and once again passed the tablet to her.

[But you just confessed that your brothers are more handsome?]

Emily noticed the question mark at the end of the sentence which was especially highlighted by him.

This time when Sam read her reply it took all of his self-control to not burst into a fit of laughter.

[Can't hurt my brother's self-confidence! Now, can I?]

These two were so emerged in their own world of messaging that none of them noticed that the rest of the people in the room were observing them.

A certain person was definitely not pleased to know that he could no longer hear what she was speaking, since she was not speaking in the first place.

He once again passed a quick death glare in Secretary Kim's direction. Who would have known that the moment his little girl would step inside the room, she would pay half of her attention to his secretary?

Mr. Kim felt like King Yama had started a search party for him as the third time in the past ten minutes, he felt his boss' icy gaze landing on him.

The cold sweat that was sliding down his spine and the chills that were running all over his body made him clench his hands around the tablet.

Why his luck was running out constantly these days, Ah?

Meanwhile, at the other end of the room, Simon was finally done with the secret messaging between his sister and Sam.

It looked like they were having fun in whatever they were doing, then why he was not invited?

It was unlike him to feel grumpy over something like that but he just could not help but become angry for being left out.

He was about to snatch the tablet out of Sam's hands when Domenic's sharp voice stopped him.

"Enough! We are here for a serious matter. If you two want to play around you can do it at home."

His words were obviously directed at Sam and Emily. He actually looked a little angry, probably because he was not too happy about exposing his little sister in front of both the Sullivan masters.

Emily immediately pulled away from Sam and his tablet, moving closer to Simon as she once again linked her hands around his arm while making sure to look decent.

Simon immediately found his grumpiness disappearing as he felt his little kiddo making herself comfortable in his protection.

If she was expecting him to protect her from the Sullivans or some other threats, he would be always there to do exactly that.

However, if she wanted him to save her from Domenic then he was probably not the best choice.

The only person present in the room who had the power to go against Domenic Alessandro was unfortunately someone from the opposite team.

But it was not like Emily would ever need protection when it comes to Domenic.

No matter how much each of the rest of the five brothers loved their little sister, even though some behaved totally opposite, the one who loved her the most was none other than Domenic.

He had always been a father figure for Mark, Simon, Crist and, Leo.

While Daniel made sure to take care of their daily needs like making food for them, making sure that they always had fresh clothes prepared for them, dropping and picking them from school, and helping them with their homework, Domenic was the one who made sure that all of them never lacked anything and were always well protected.

And just like the rest of his brothers, Emily was also a child to him. Even more than the others since she was not only the youngest of all of them but he was also her legal guardian.

He loved her just like his own child. The day when he first saw his newborn baby sister and picked her up in his slightly trembling hands with the help of his father was still fresh in Simon's memories.
