Chapter 9
~Maria~
I didn't suppress my reaction in time when someone called me by my real name. When I looked at the person, I realize it was my so called father. I better ignore him.
Sigh
Today really isn't my day. I felt something squeeze my hand. I turned to look at the person holding my hand and it was my Onee-sama.
"You're not alone in this. (whispered Kyoko)That's right I am not alone. She is here with me. I smile at her and nodded to tell her that I was thankful and I am alright now.
"Hello President Takarada." Kyoko said with a polite smile and a bow, Maria and Kanae bowed as well, "Thank you for inviting us tonight. We really appreciate it."
"You're welcome. I would like to have dinner before we talk business, but I invited one more guest over and he isn't here right now. So would you girls care to join us in our living room while we wait?" asked Lory with a welcoming smile.
"We would love to" smiled onee-sama and it made me want to hug her. Then I notice father staring at her that out of habit I glared at him and he seemed to back off after that and I got a hold on her hand once again.
"Ok then right this way ladies." Lory led us to the living room which to my surprise didn't change much. But at the corner of my eye I saw moko-san stare at my grandfather and that is when I noticed what he was wearing. He was wearing a shocking pink suit. I guess onee-sama was trying to be polite by not staring but I notice how hard it was for her not to laugh out loud.
Then Lory turned his back to us his back had a love me logo which I couldn't help but giggle at. I looked around to everyone staring at me and onee-sama flushed.
"Sorry, it was rude of me to laugh. Sorry onee-sama for embarrassing you." Once I finished saying that I found myself being hugged by her.
"You are never an embarrassment Lily. Don't say that again" I couldn't help the smile that came across my face when I heard that and I hugged her back.
We hugged each other for such a long time that moko-san reminded us that we were at somebody else's house.
We both blushed and apologized they just smiled at us and said it was ok. Then we heard the bell ring and heard someone open the door. After a thank you the person was led to the living room. Lory stood up and welcomed Tsuruga-san and told us to go the dining room.
When we got there the table was set up in a way I didn't like it.
Onee-sama was at my right, grandfather at my left, in the of centre of the table the table is rectangular, Kouki was in front of me and kept staring, while Moko-san was next to him and Yashiro next to her.
I tried not to notice him staring at me. Then when I got tired of ignoring him and onee-sama wasn't paying attention I glared at him. He just smiled at me which made me even madder.
Then I felt my hand being squeezed by Onee-sama and I notice that she has been watching our interaction and tried to warn me against doing anything silly. I just took a deep breath and smiled at her and she smiled back.
But for the brief second we were smiling at each other I notice from the corner of my eyes the murderous look Kouki gave Onee-sama so I kicked him without her noticing it. He winced and I smiled.
"So Lily-chan, how did you like the food. I told my cooks to make everything here to what I think everyone will like. But I see you left some of the food there." He said while looking at my plate, that is when I notice he made my favourite dish and I wasn't eating much of it, I was too busy being pissed off at the seat arrangement that I didn't noticed.
"Sorry Takarada-san it is my fault. I spoiled her to much by making her favourite food."Onee-sama said with a sad smile.
"No onee-sama, you don't spoil me enough." I said with a whining voice everyone just laughed onee-sama however blushed and I could see a tear in her eye. Oh reached out and wiped it and kissed her cheek and she smiled.
"Mo! Will you guys cut it out we are guest here you guys can do that at home." Moko-san said with a blush.
We just looked at each other and smiled, we got up and walked over to Moko-san and kissed her cheek. She blushed even harder that we had to hold ourselves up in order not to fall to the ground laughing.
We walked back and finished dinner. I asked to be excused to freshen up before we start the meeting. When I got out of the bathroom someone grabbed my hand from behind and pulled me into a dark room.
