"As the original love me trio, and even graduates, I still have my power to impose to you special missions or jobs, and today is one of those impositions." The taller girl from the three looked bored, while the shorter teen in ginger blonde hair tilt her head cutely and the other ignored.
"Before you ask anything." He started, "The girls present in this office are the new Love Me girls, and in order for me to have three top picks, just like you girls I'll have the three of you on a special job to take in one girl to be your apprentice, and have them learn from you while I task them with Love Me jobs, just like what you used too." The president spoke, for once he was wearing a normal suit and not in his cosplay clothing.
"You girls." Pointing at the new recruits, "Are luck to be able on being taught first hand by senior actresses who were just like you. Unlike them they had to learn from the scratch, especially my dear Kyoko who was not even an actress nor acted, but there she is, being the top actress." He complimented.
"So we need to chose right now?" asked Kanae and Kyoko took closer looks at the girls while Chiori ignored and continued to tap on her phone.
"Not right now, I want to take your time, they all have quite the personalities and whichever you find genuine to your liking you may tell me, for now spend time with them for a while, I asked your managers to clear the whole morning so you may bond." He smiled when suddenly.
"Old guy?" Ren's little brother came in, he was in his usual shirt and pants, however he was holding a folder.
"Ouch…" the Agency President felt a little hurt.
"First kill!" laughed by another guy in crutches that followed Ren's brother.
"It's good you're here, may I have your number? You changed to a new one again and I cannot contact you!" said by Lory.
"My bad." He shortly replied and placed the card to his table, "Listen, we're heading to the warehouse to go see the new site, you coming?"
"Of course. Sebastian?" called by Lory to his secretary.
"What the heck are you wearing?" asked by the boy when Lory took off his upper suit and revealed a white shirt that matched his neon green sweatpants that blared.
"Something like yours."
"Nu-uh… I don't look like a glow stick, take that off." Said by Koudi.
The others finally laughed at the pouting president, "Why are you always mean?" asked by Lory.
"I'm always mean, now take that off and change to something your age would wear and come with us." With that said Kanae and Chiori finally lost it and Kyoko was sent in to fits of laughter melting to the sofa they shared.
"Hurry up glow stick, we don't have all day." And the mean boy slammed his office door leaving.
"There is a reason why Koun never try to cross him or else he'll be having another sleepless night thinking of another bald spot." Said Kyoko and the laughter inside the office grew louder.
After the President left, the girls were left while one of the President's assistants served them all tea, "Can you girls introduce yourselves?" asked Kyoko while Chiori and Kanae tried to look intimidating, the girls shivered, although one is calm and the other mirrored the girls, Kanae took interest.
"What's your name?" she asked and the blonde in a cute bun replied.
"Siluca Meletes." She shortly replied, "It is an honor to meet you, Kanae-sama."
"Sure…" then she turned her head to the other calm girl, "And you?"
"Nogizaka Haruka." Sipping her tea.
Chiori then asked the other girls and they all replied and then Kyoko turned to the shy girl at the back, she wore thick reading glasses like her brother Otto.
"Hello." Kyoko first greeted, "What is your name?"
The shy girl then replied, "I-I'm Mika Tachibana." And hid herself.
"You know, you're in the entertainment industry, you should learn to have a back bone, bythe way where did that glow stick of a president pick you up?" Kanae a bit mean and Kyoko shook her head in amusement.
"What she mean is that, where did President Lory meet you?" Kyoko cleared.
"My mom… sh-she's a master chef and I had been doing online tutorials." Mika shyly replied which made Kyoko smile bright.
They talked a bit and got to know the others as well, "Let's exchange numbers so we can contact each other when we need help!" said by Haruka excitedly and handed her phone to everyone, until one of the girls the one with a tan skin asked for Mika's.
As they exchanged, Kyoko thought already of who she is going to take and noted for the naughty ones in the bunch.
It wasn't long when the President was back and dismissed the new Love Me girls, the three original members then voiced to him their picks.
And Kyoko told what she noticed and saw earlier, the President then noted and made sure to keep a close eye over four girls from the group, he would not announce anything yet and observe but Kyoko made her choice and the President approved.
Week later there still no announcement made but when the Love Me mentor for the day emailed the girls for their training program, one girl did not get the theme of the audition.
So she contacted her friend who was so kind enough to offer her number and had been exchanging for the past week, she smiled when Aiko offered to meet with her and go to the Audition together.
She dressed promptly for the occasion and texted her friend her house and to her shock, a white modified truck with multiple accessory attachments and a 66 cc motocross bike at the back compartment, she can't believe a petit girl can drive such monster of vehicle, but when she came to meet her, she look horrified seeing the savage boy that made the President cry a week ago.
"Sorry if I did not tell you who I really was, but may I ask, how did you have my number?" he asked.
"What number?" she asked.
"the one you are currently texting." He mused.
"No, this is Aiko-chan's!" she argued and opened it to show him.
"Ah yes, Aiko… I'm sorry but I'm not Aiko…" he told but not in a sarcastic manner but in gentle and apologetic one, "You see, I did not tell you because I kind of liked having conversation with you, I apologize." He told.
She looked down, "What's wrong?" he noticed her sadness.
"I thought I finally have my first friend here, I mean after moving." She told.
"I can be, if you let me." He shrugged, "Now let's get you to that audition, I called with Uncle Lory earlier and gave me the location, I'll take you." And he helped her up the huge truck.
It wasn't long when they arrived to a park, full of staff running back and forth to finish the set, a white long table was there with Kyoko, Kanae Chiori and the President and even the top actor and most desirable man in Japan is present.
A white familiar truck pulled over and a boy in all black suit stepped out, "Koudi?" asked Ren in confusion, when suddenly he helped a girl with huge glasses down his truck and bid her goodbye.
"Apparently she happened to accidentally get his number." Said by the President.
"It was Aiko, she planned it, she took the business card from Sachou's table and used the number to her, and maybe because of Koudi's personality, she'd be insulted, but rather it back fired." Kyoko giggled and her fiancé looked baffled.
"And it kept me safe from landmines of insults for a week." Then the president grinned thinking of playing cupid again.
After the audition the President finally announced the three girls that is going to be mentored by the three top actresses, naming the shy girl as Kyoko's apprentice she was shocked and held the paraclat tightly, Ren then asked her, "He gave you his lucky charm did he?" the actor chuckled seeing the bracelet and she blushed.
"It was nice of Hizuri-sama." She replied.
"Despite three girls have been chosen, the remaining will be matched to my actress of choosing." Announced by the president, and while he further advice them the three girls were taken by their own mentors, Chiori took Haruka and Kanae taking the feisty blonde.
Kyoko consoled the girl who looked distraught after glares and stink eyes from the bunch shot at her, "Do not mind them, I myself have experienced the same thing, but here I am surrounded by my bestfriends, Moko-chan and Chiori." She turned to the girls, "I'll be your friend and I promise you you'll find another.
Mika clutched the bracelet and it was indeed lucky.
For months, Kyoko as glad her method as mentor is working as the girl develops back bone and had been falling to every character she is given, their lessons are blooming until, "Where is the girl?!" barged in by the mother of fashion, they were at the cafeteria of the agency taking a break and the girl just finished her Love Me job and blared her pink jump suit.
Kyoko amusingly pointed at the girl, "What is that hideous thing!" the woman gasped and pulled her, "You my girl is my son's first lady friend and you deserve to be dressed pretty!" and with that she was taken and Kyoko laughed.
"This feels like nostalgia." Shaking her head.
Later that afternoon, Kyoko and Ren joined by Chiori and Kanae with all their managers and the Agency President himself are at the Hizuri estate, Kuu present, they were having barbecue, Koudi's circle of friends are also joining with Seana and her son, the family pool side is buzzing and the boys are playing music from their guitar and beat box, Haruka and Siluca joined their mentors as well.
"Everyone! Please meet the new Mika!" and the shy girl was gently pulled by Julie in amusement.
Koudi's crew dropped everything they are holding, "Wait are you the little charm that got our boss in to a good mood for months?!" grinned by the boys.
"Wait… you mean, she's the one boss' been exchanging messages?" Koudi's secretary stood and pointed, "I would have never figured!" he looked shocked.
"Kuran, you lose so you had to do that jump!" teased by another blonde with English accent.
"Damn it!" Kuran swore.
"Language." Kyoko warned.
"Wait… did you just sound like a grandma?" Ren teased her and she playfully hit him and giggled and on cue an engine sound came to a halt and another came in to join them.
"BOSS!" chorused by the boys seeing the youngest Hizuri in his dark gray coat over his black dress shirt and business formals, he looked irritated but then dropped his keys after seeing Mika in a backless tropical summer dress, Koudi already knew she got figure and beauty behind her glasses and ponytail but never actually saw them, now he prays that no one tries to make a move on her.
"Mom, why are you cruel?" it came like a whine and his friends fell off their seat laughing.
"This is precious." Lory in amusement and took photo of Koudi's reaction.
"Is it bad?" asked by a worried Mika.
"No, but it's bad for me…" holding his heart and the others blared in laughter.
"There is no dull moment with that kid, I tell you." Kuu shook his head, he was glad his relationship to his youngest is getting progress after his advices and the fatherly affection he seemed to give after he forgot when he lost his eldest.
Despite being cold, the boy was still warm inside,
I'm talkin' you and me with the same street name
Same last name, same everything
It's a real thing, a how I feel thing
So I'mma go on and take a swing
You find the spot and I'll find the money
You be the pretty and I'll be the funny
You plant the flowers, I'll plant the kisses
Baby, let's get right down to business
I'll hang the pictures, you hang the stars
You pick the paint, I'll pick a guitar
Sing you a song out there with the crickets and the frogs
You name the babies and I'll name the dogs, yeah
The boys Chorused teasing poor Koudi who's still awestruck at the girl.
"I feel like firing seven people…" he commented and the singing turned in to crying, Kanae has been wheezing for the whole moment.
"We did nothing…" Theo and Yuuto turned their heads and silenced themselves not wanting to get fired, both of them are joined by Siluca and Haruka who were giggling.
"Don't be such a kiss ass just because you're both hooked." Koudi piped in.
"Language." Kyoko scold.
"Sure grandma…" said by the irritated boy who sighed and threw his tie to a seat and opened three buttons and throwing his coat to the same chair as his tie.
"What happened?" Mika asked curiously.
"Long story short, when you thought it was a meeting but the ending it was another round of, hey! It's another late night show where we talk about your crush." He replied and she blushed.
"I told you not to post it!" she pouted.
"I can't help it!" he replied.
"Posted what?" asked by Lory in interest.
"There is a reason why you were blocked." Koudi sarcastically turned to him and Lory pouted and whined like a kicked puppy.
"First kill!" again by the boys teasing the older man.
"And for the record, hanging out with the bunch doesn't turn the numbers of your age opposite." He added.
"Double kill!" they boys now laughed and Kuu kept on recording the banter.
"And what are you wearing, we're out for barbecue not war, take that off, you look like a veteran rather than hunting." With that said Kuu and Ren lost it.
"Triple kill!" the boys blared.
"And lastly, why are you all here? Don't you have reports for the audit and sales?" with that said as he turned to the boys.
"Multi kill." Laughed by Yuuto and Theo.
"Are you sure about Theo? All he can make is anything that only involves tomato sauce and cheese…" Koudi glared at Theo who was in crutches. "Yuuto, where is the China sales record I asked, it's been a week…" Yuuto sank to his seat.
"Okay enough killing any one in savagery." Mika was done in laughter and now wheezing.
"Remember when I told you about passing to his office is like a warzone loaded with land mines? It's like that at the warehouse…" Lory spoke and about to cry.
Lory later saw the said post after his granddaughter graciously shared it to him, it was a beach photo where Koudi took off her glasses and kissed her, they were in a matching beach shorts and shirt except hers were shorter and fitting, it was an announcement of relationship and the story behind how they met.
Presently Mika is amusingly reading an article of her being the real boss knowing the personality of the Rough Ride founder and Chief Executive, the cover was their latest photo shoot at the warehouse as insisted by Julie as they sport her new design for Summer. It was fierce pose for both of them and it was quite a personality basing to his own manner.
"Feeling all high and might just because you opened your legs to Hizuri-sama?" Aiko with her cronies came and insulted her.
"Actually, Karma hits back two times as bad. Your plan backfired." Replied by Mika, Kyoko and Ren at the side waiting and ready to intervene in case of anything, "Thinking you'll get me insulted by putting Cookie's number to my phone actually did me good, so thank you." Raising her brows and glared at her, when Aiko was about to hit her, Ren was about to intervene, "Try it and you'll hear from Cookie's lawyers and let's add Mama Seana." She threatened.
"I'll have my boys make sure you're not going to show your face in camera too…" Koudi appeared with his secretary, "Ready for lunch?" he offered his arm to Mika and left.
"Did that just happened?" asked by Ren to Kyoko shocked.
"Sharing an apartment with Koudi means he'll rub off on her, so it was bound to happen." Kyoko replied and Ren looked baffled.
"Damn, I wish I recoded that!"
"Language." Kyoko again scold.
"Honey, we're not even having kids yet, but you act as if we're already having grandkids." He teased.
"I swear, I'm telling everyone I'm single again." With that said he looked horrified and chased after her calling for her name.
