Chapter 13: Denser than Sakura
Someone knocked.
"Will someone get it?" Tomoyo asked. "I'm still in the bathroom."
"I'll get it!" Sakura volunteered. For a while, no one spoke. "Aichi! Come see this!" Sakura called.
"Is there something wrong Sakura?" Tomoyo called from the bathroom.
"Nothing!" the other two chorused. Tomoyo frowned but she shrugged it off as she dressed up. When she looked for her friends, she spotted them giggling near the window.
"What's the matter with you girls?" Tomoyo inquired sternly.
The two looked at each other. Then they suddenly burst into hysterical laughter. Tomoyo sweatdropped. Sakura handed over an envelope. Apparently, the two girls had opened it and read the details. Tomoyo read the letter.
Dear Tomoyo,
You must've noticed the slight accident that had occurred during the fashion show. Since both of us are involved here, I would like to ask you to help me solve this uneventful occurrence so as no to cause a public scandal.
I would like to meet you at El Cafetera de EspaƱa later at four o'clock. The directions are written on a map I've placed at the separate sheet.
I hope you would cooperate regarding this matter.
Respectfully yours,
Mr. Eriol Hiiragizawa
President, Le Soleil
Tomoyo looked at the two. "So what's funny about it?"
The two broke down in laughter. "You-you're *laughter* blushing!" Sakura said in between laughs.
"What!" Tomoyo rushed at the nearby mirror. Oh my! Tomoyo cupped her face that was very pink.
"I think it's very romantic," Aichi commented.
"Yeah. Imagine, Eriol using this as an excuse to see you," Sakura giggled.
"Stop it you two. This is just a business matter," Tomoyo defended. She took her coat and purse then went out.
"Whatever you say Tomoyo."
