OKUMURA RESIDENCE

Risa : Don’t  tell mother!

Aya :  I wont,I wont.

Risa : And Kaori too.

Aya : Then,what should I tell them if you are gone by morning and back by night?(confused)

Risa : Just tell them I got a job?

Kaori : What job?

Risa and Aya quickly turned around when they heard Kaori’s voice from the door.Kaori just got back from her work and it was already 10 pm.

Kaori : What job?(confused)

Risa : I got a job.

Kaori : ….thats fast!

Aya : Its Risa you are talking about.Who wouldn’t want her to work with them?

Kaori : What about you Aya?

Aya : I..I….want to rest longer.My brain is still corrupted with all the craps I learnt.

Kaori walked towards the living room and sat on the couch,removing her blazer and untied her hair.She ran her fingers through her hair and look at both of them.

Kaori : Wait,when did you even applied for a job?

Risa : My friend is working at a small shop in the town.She called if I can help her there.With the designing and stuff.So why not.

Aya : Lucky you

Kaori : Oh you mean just a part time job?I thought you wanted to stay home and rest longer?

Risa :I am bored at home since nobody is home except mother and Aya.When is otousan coming back from London?

Kaori : Probably next month.Lets hope he does not forget our chocolates(yawning) Alright,Im gonna go up and sleep.I am completely worn out .

Risa : Shower first you smelly lady.

Aya : Don’t forget to shower Kaori-sannnn

Kaori : Hai hai

Kaori went up the stairs slowly,leaving Risa and Aya alone,again.

Aya: That was ….tough.

Risa : (sigh)

Aya : So,is he going to pick you up?

Risa : I don’t want him to pick me up.Seriously I am not--

Aya : but Ichirou did mention about the driver is gonna fetch you here and send you back.

Risa : I would never want them to fetch me and stuff.I am not the helpess (annoyed)

Aya : Well,we’ll see what happens tomorrow…..

NEXT MORNING

ISHIKAWA BUILDING

Kaname : What do you mean she was not home?

Driver : I was at her house by 7 and a lady told me she already left.

Kaname : (shocked)

Driver : Should I search for her?

Kaname : No no.You can leave now.

The driver bowed and left the room quickly because he was afraid Kaname might lose his temper,again.

Kaname : Suits yourself Okumura Risa.Suits yourself.

Suddenly his phone rang and Karin’s name popped on the screen.Kaname knew Karin is going to ask him about Risa so he hesitated on answering the phone.Not answering the phone will actually leads Karin on coming to his office room.Kaname let out a sigh and tapped on “ answer”

Kaname : Hello?

Karin : Come to my room now.No buts or no.Now.

Karin hung up before Kaname could even respond to her orders.

Kaname :  This is going to get messy (rubbing his forehead)

KARIN’S OFFICE

Kaname knocked on the door twiceand opened the door when Karin asked him to come in.

Kaname : Look,I don’t know where she is and--

Kaname stopped talking when she saw Risa is sitting on the couch,reading a magazine leisurely and she didn’t even turn to look at Kaname when he walked in.

Kaname : (shocked)

Karin : Good Morning!

Kaname : What..(speechless)

Karin : Why are you still standing there Kaname?(smiling sinisterly)

Kaname looked at Risa and then he turned to Karin,whom were smiling wryly from the moment he walked in.

Kaname : What is this?

Karin : What,what..what?

Risa : (minding her own business)

Kaname : Why is she here?I mean,already here? And why is she in your office?(lost)

Karin : She was here  earlier than you Kaname.I saw her at the lift just now and thank god I was here by 8.

Kaname : She..what?

Risa : I don’t ask for drivers,so don’t send them again after this.

Karin : You heard your girlfriend.So ask your driver to stop fetching her.

Kaname : And you expect her to come here by her own ,everyday?

Risa : Why not.

Kaname turned to Risa and he was glaring at her when Risa was not even looking at him when she said that.

Risa turned to Kaname and walked towards him.She then looked at him straight and showed him an onigiri.

Risa : Breakfast?

Kaname : (speechless)

Karin : (laughing)

ISHIKAWA HOTEL AND SUITES

MAIN OFFICE

Mia : Good Morning!

Isane : Whats with you and this strong vibes early in the morning?

Mia placed a hot coffee on his brother table and snatched the novel he was reading and put it on the table.

Mia : Enough reading Isane.You  just got back from Italy and and you do is read books about Mozart and bach and who else?

Ishikawa Isane is Mia’s older and only brother. He just got back from Italy yesterday and he is already in the office,ready to get his job done.Isane has warm and gentle looking face and that’s the pin point that makes almost every women fall for him despite his not even trying to . He needs no effort to look good at all,everything about him is perfect and charming.His long wavy hair adds to his charms that could make anyone swoon just by looking at him.

Isane : So,hows the hotel?

Mia : Everything is fine.Im going to the hotel later.Just to check again though. Anyway! Have you seen Kaname’s new girlfriend!?

Isane looked at Mia with a confused face

Isane : Kaname’s?

Mia : You didn’t see her yesterday when you visited the office?

Isane : NO,I don’t think so.I went there only to see Karin.I didn’t even see Kaname around.

Mia: Lets go visit her later?

Isane : Visit?

Mia : I think I’ll let Karin explain everything to you .It wouldn’t be fun if I spoil the exciting news early!(winks)

Isane just watch as Mia left his room,leaving their conversation hanging and Isane just smiled .

Isane swung his chair around so that he could face the glass windows behind him,he look out to the sky and he suddenly remembered the lady with long black hair he bumped into yesterday. He realized that the lady didn’t even had a working dress code yesterday and he knew she is not from the building.He smiled as he remembered how he almost lost his sense when the lift slide open and their eyes met.

Isane : I wonder who you are..(smiles)
