"What was that Ms. Uhibi?" Mrs. Hung asked lazily as she passed me a few more papers filled with houses and more papers--.
"Interesting houses--."
"Yes, Mr. Minamoto distinctly described he wanted a nice house with lots of room. All of these are at the top of the market."
"Oh really?" I raised an eyebrow. It sounded more like Mr. Minamoto wanted to impress Koji and Koichi with the house rather than to plainly live in a nice house.
"Here are some other papers he may want to look at describing the streets and cities in Canada. He's leaving for his trip to Canada in two days; yes?" Mrs. Uhibi looked through her folders; randomly taking papers out and passing them to me.
"That would be correct." I answered nodding at the papers in front of me as if I was even taking a glance at them. I got my briefcase and neatly put all of them in a file. That was why everything was so important. We only had two days to stop Mr. Minamoto. Two days to get the entire company to change their mind. Two days…so little time.
"I don't feel so good." Chizuko mumbled.
" 'lax, it's from the nerves…." I mumbled.
"Er…so Mrs. Uhibi...since he decided to not buy the house our meeting has been but short. It was a pleasure to meet you. Have a nice night." She smiled as she got up with her briefcase in hand and left.
"Yes, you too." I said and tried so hard to smile, I'm sure it turned into a huge frown.
When she left I let out a sigh of relief. "Phase two complete." I mumbled.
"Got that right Mrs. Uhibi…now, Mr.Reifuto will be there any second so you should go change now." Chizuko informed me.
I brought my briefcase into the bathroom with me and found a plaid business suit inside a compartment of my briefcase, I changed quickly and returned to the table I had been previously sitting at.
"May I help you ma'am?" Koichi tapped my on the shoulder and I looked up and there he was in employee uniform. I knew he felt bad about how I got him the uniform—
(FLASHBACK)
"Hey, you, the one on the break!" I called to a nearby employee that worked at the restaurant. He was clearly not very smart, you could just tell by the look of his face his head didn't posses much brain. "Can I borrow your uniform?" When I said that Koichi looked at me bewildered and I smiled. I knew he would do that; he was expecting me to do something more sly and elaborate like I always did.
"Er…sure—what for?" He started to undress the reveal another
change of clothes under his uniform. "Oh wait—your Masie right? You were the one who called me last night—I see."
"Er—yeah, thanks." I said as he handed me his uniform.
(END FLASHBACK)
"You don't look to bad in the employee uniform here y'know." I examined him.
But when I looked at his face it was pale white; he was staring at something in the distance by the front of the restaurant. "But this doesn't look good—at all." He mumbled as I followed his gaze I saw Takuya and Zoe being seated by another waitress in the front of the restaurant.
"This can't be happening." I whispered.
"Kai! Takuya and Zoe just came into the restaurant—believe me, I didn't set them up! And oh, Zoe does look good…wow, their first date and they're ruining their best friends chance of staying here with us…interesting isn't it? How these constant bad luck omens just flow right into the lives of the digi-destined…." Chizuko sighed. "How awfully weird."
"Chizuko…." I warned her.
Koichi adjusted his ear piece. "I have to go back to boss. He's the one who sent me to serve you. They have really weird rules here…. I'll tell you who serves Takuya and Zoe…for the meanwhile…you should start focusing on your meeting—don't worry, Chizuko and I have everything under control.
I couldn't help but to squeak; "Uh-huh…."
