Damien's pov:
I stepped out of the elevator and walked straight to her office. However, I met Elijah on my way.
"Oh, hi." He said when he noticed me.
"Hi," I replied.
"Came to see Savannah?" He asked and I nodded.
"I just need to hand her this files," I said and he smirked.
"Alright," he said and I walked passed him.
"Oh, don't forget that these rooms are not soundproof." He said behind me and I chuckled when I realised what he was saying. Was that his way to say that he approved that I go out with his sister?
"I'll keep that in mind," I said not looking back. I reached her office and knocked. I heard a 'come in' and I walked in.
She was writing something quickly and didn't look up yet.
"Did you get it?" She asked, still focus on her work.
"I did." Her head snapped up when she recognised my voice.
"You did?" She asked, wide-eyed.
I walked to her table and put the file in front of her. She grabbed it and went through all the pages.
"How did you get that?" She asked shocked.
"I have my ways." I shrugged taking a seat in front of her.
"Well, that's awesome." She smiled.
"You know what would be more awesome?" I asked looking at her.
"What?" She asked confused.
"Dinner together?" I shrugged. I watched as her confused expression changed when she realised what I said.
"Oh,"
"So?," I asked.
"It's only 5:30 pm and I have a file to finish." She said and I shrugged.
"I'll wait," I said and she looked unsure.
"It might take longer." She added.

"I'll wait," I said again and she sighed.
"Well then, if you want..." she trailed off and I nodded. I walked to the couches in the room and sat down. From where I was, I could see her clearly. She returned back to the file and I took my phone out.
I glanced up and found myself staring at her. She looked so concentrated that she wasn't bothered by the fact that someone was staring at her.
----
It's already 6:45 pm and I was still in her office. I read my emails to kill some times.
"Alright, I'm done." She sighed leaning in her seat.
"Tired?" I asked and she looked my way.
"A little bit and I'm sorry you had to wait so long." She apologized and I shake my head no.
"No, it's okay. We can leave now." I said and she nodded.
The door opened and Elijah walked in. He noticed me and raised an eyebrow. He then looked at Savannah.
"So are you coming home with me?" Elijah asked Savannah and she shakes her head no.
"We are going out for dinner." She said and Elijah smirked.
"Alright, don't forget what I've told you too." He said before leaving the office.
"What did he tell you?" Savannah asked confused.
"Nothing important. Let's go." I said standing up. I put my phone back in my pocket and waited for her. She grabbed her bag and turn off the lights. We both made our way to the elevator and went to the ground floor.
-----
I parked the car and we stepped out. We walked inside and a lady attended us. She showed us our table and handed the menu to us.
"How's your arm?" She asked and I looked up from the menu.

"It's fine," I said, not giving many details. I don't want her to ask me where I got that wound. I can't tell her about the Mafia stuff yet.
"H-how did you even got hurt there?" She asked curiously.
"You are too curious." I chuckled, not replying to her questions. I guess she noticed that I didn't want to talk about it since she looked down at the menu.
"What are you going to order?" She asked and I looked down.
"I don't know," I replied looking at the food's option.
After a few minutes, we both decided what we wanted to eat. We ordered and they served us two glass of water while we wait.
"I'll be out of town for a few days," I said, gaining her attention.
"Oh, where are you going?" She asked, leaning her elbow on the table.
"I have some business that I need to complete, I don't know exactly how many days I'll be there," I explained and she nodded.
Crawford and I need to go to a Mafia meeting. We usually go every 2 months to keep the other Mafia leaders updated on our activities. I don't usually say many things because not all of them are happy about changes. Some leaders envy others when they can't reach a certain level of respect. Like me.
Many of the leaders show off their power when we go there, however, I just sit down and let them do whatever they want. But if they hurt anyone from my family or anyone that I care about, then it can be really messy.
"That's alright, everything is going smoothly. I hope we don't have any problems." She said and I nodded.
"If anything happens, you can call me anytime. I'll make my best to try to solve it." I stared firmly.
"When are you leaving?" She asked, reaching out to take her glass of water.
"Tomorrow morning," I said and she nodded. She took a sip from her water and put the glass on the table. Suddenly music started to play and we watched as some couples went to the middle. They all started to slow dance while a lady was playing her violin.
I glanced at Savannah and she was smiling looking at the couples dancing. I never danced since I join this Mafia world. It doesn't really go with my cold and heartless look. People wouldn't fear me if I do these kinds of things but I don't mind changing that for her.
"Will you have this dance with me?" I asked and she looked at me. I put my hand forward and she put her hand on mine. The fact that she didn't hesitate to do it, shows how she wanted to dance.
I pulled her in the middle and put my arm around her waist. Her arm went on my shoulder as I held her other hand in mine. We swing to the music, the smile never leaving her face.
And we both danced until they served our food.

Giantslayer
Synopsis: Alain is a fledgling Giantslayer, enhanced individuals capable of killing deadly giants. But these giants are not big, they are what ancient humans would refer to as mundane animals or beasts. 'The Final Curse' as many humans call it, was a curse that shrunk down the entire human population to the size of small rodents. When the curse first occurred, the majority of the human population was eaten by beasts who are now of towering heights and sizes. But their abandoned gargantuan structures were not built for naught, the remaining humans retreated back into their now giant buildings and rebuild societies and nations inside of them. Follow Alain in his quest to right the wrongs done to his past and hunt down the elusive and mythical Elder Giants, giants capable of intellects and speech. Are they real? Alain certainly insists so despite no one believing him. But perhaps it did not matter, they were real enough to him for what they did to his family. A/N: I'm pretty new to writing creatively so I hope to improve as we move along the story. The prose I use is still fairly simple and 'plain', but I am also new to literature in general so I am hoping to improve my vocabulary as well. It should also come under no surprise that I am a non-native English speaker and writer as well. With that said, I do appreciate constructive feedback. Please don't be overly mean at least. All the chapters are rough drafts that will be edited in the future. The cover is by this user from pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/4545042

This Game World is rigged against Mobs!!!
I suddenly got my past life memory back, what to do (asking for a friend...)? *Real synopsis: Alean Steelight, son of Baron Steelight, 4th generation of frontier knights, is somehow a mage? And mages can only be supports? In the frontier where dangerous beasts and monsters stalk the land, mages who can't pull their own weight in combat are considered trash. After being dumped by his parents at the Royal Academy, Allean must somehow survive the most heinous place known to mankind, high school. Now if only he didn't suddenly remember that this world is going to end, it would have been much easier on his mind at least. =====================================================*Disclaimer: This is my 1st novel, and English is my 2nd language, so expect some spelling or grammar mistakes. Also plot holes, and generally bad planning and such. Feel free to point out mistakes so I can grow as a writer. Update whenever I have time and inspiration. If you think the name is familiar, I do take inspiration from " The world of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs" and other academy-type novels. *Warning: This novel features references to self-harm, depression, suicide, etc. Viewer discretion is advised If you are uncomfortable with LGBT+ elements in a story in any way, then this novel might not be for you, sorry. The main character is straight/bi-curious, so yeah... Yay teenage hormones and confusion.

The Student Council's Pet | ✓
Renown troublemaker, Kasumi Yonamine, has gotten herself into quite the dilemma. Definitely hitting her high school principal wasn't something she'd put high on her gloating list, but when she does accidentally do it and is threatened with expulsion, she's assured her life is officially ruined. At least she is until Shuuhei Okabe, the Student Council President, suddenly steps forward. With the promise to take Kasumi under his wing and reshape her into a fine young lady, the principal agrees to postpone her expulsion, and Kasumi is grateful. But what Kasumi didn't know and was shocked to figure out is that when Shuuhei said he and the Student Council would be 'reshaping' her, he meant it in a way where she would become their 'dog' and treat them like her masters.The Student Council wasn't the group of perfectionists they led everyone on to be.And they were very, very fond of S&M relationships.***The full story is available on the Tapas app/site under my username @Mistyped_ and the same title. Only the first few chapters are posted on Wattpad!PS: This is a simple teen fiction book with a main character who swears like a sailor and characters who are not what they initially seem. So if you're expecting mature content, sorry to disappoint, you won't find any here!
