"Ayako, were you able to call Mr. Sato?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Well, call him again and tell him that I need to speak to him today, preferably before noon."

"Okay, anything else?"

"A box of Krispy Kreme and caramel frapuccino would be great, thanks."

"Original glazed or–"

"The usual, Ayako."

"Okay, got it."

After about an hour, she again received another call from her secretary informing her that Mr. Sato, her lawyer had finally arrived.

"Then, let him come in."

.

.

"Mr. Sato, please have a seat." she rose from her seat and sat across her lawyer.

"Here," she placed the red envelope on the table. "I need you to do some revisions for this contract." she gestured for him to open it and waited as he skimmed through the document.

"Hmm, what revisions are to be done here?" he asked as he went through the document.

"Because the contract is beneficiary to both parties, of course it is necessary to see to it that the subject matters acknowledged here are reasonable." she nodded to herself and proceeded when her lawyer pulled out a pen and a notebook from his briefcase and started to take down notes.

"To be sure that we don't mess up with identities, lets name them as person A and B. In the contract, there's a part there stating that B is obliged to be with A in the parties that A will be attending to, most probably like A's date. Now I want that to be the same for A's obligation to B."

"So A is also obligated to accompany B in gatherings he or she will be attending to, is that right?"

"Yes, it is. Another one, state that it is mandatory for A to be of help, or rather a guide for B's success regarding professional matters; but make sure that regarding the collaboration between the two, their schedules are not messed up at any rate."

What else? She silently rummaged her brain as she took a sip of her coffee. "Yeah, I almost forgot. Friday night is B's night out or like a time off. It's every week, never missing out a Friday. Therefore A doesn't have the power over person B to make B not have the Friday night out. Of course, unless it interferes the first matter I've told you about."

"Yes, anything else?" he looked up to her and waited.

"Yes. I want you to make sure that there are no complications and illegal issues that may come up in the contract. Also, make sure that their no sexual relationship will be emphasized and that any sexual contact between the two parties will be considered as a unlawful or something along that matter." she sighed and looked at her lawyer.

"You know, I'm not really good with contracts and the structure of it; the legal and illegal matters, as you can see. So please make sure to make it a clean one. I need the revised contract this day before seven, with your signature in both copies."

"Yes, I'll see to it and I'll carry out everything you've said. I'll make sure that this will be delivered to your office before seven in the evening."

Around five thirty in the afternoon, the contract she asked for her lawyer to revise had arrived and after she went through it and was satisfied, she stocked all her unfinished paperwork on her desk so that she would be able to deal it out to her team members tomorrow morning. A little after eight, she decided to finally call it a day and head back to the Taisho mansion.
