Chapter 2: New CEO
Mitsui was just standing there, gaping at the young man standing in front, and scrutinize him.
The young man was wearing a designer suit. A dark blue coat thrown over his light blue polo shirt, and dark blue pants along with shining black shoes.
His hair, a flaming red, was neatly cut, probably by a well-known salon. The prominent nose that made the man looks like a god straight from Mount Olympus. The supple lips that made the girls swooned. Perfect eyebrows, long eyelashes and his honey-brown eyes accentuated the perfect face.
His body is well toned; you can even see fine contours of the muscles formed. The skin was golden-tanned and looked soft and silky.
And he is just standing there in silence, eyes looking at the crowd. But on his silence people can see the intelligence on his eyes as it roams around the hall. He held himself dignifiedly, with a casual elegance. His face is impassive and no one can know what he is thinking at the moment.
Aside from the behavior and a slight change of physique, Mitsui knew that he is his long-lost Kohai.
He really is Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Or not.
"I present to you, Shiguiro Shori, your new CEO."
He looked at his best friend confusedly, did the man just called Sakuragi, Shiguiro Shori? But his friend just looks as baffled as he is.
The red-haired man, with an impassive face looks at the crowd once again then said, "Good morning to you all. I'm Shiguiro Shori, the new CEO of Tsukito; I expect that all of you will do your best in your work."
"You know," Mitsui heard Akagi Haruko said to her friend, "I think I saw him before."
The man had never felt that badly to hit a girl before. Did she forget Sakuragi Hanamichi already? The boy who worshipped the ground she treads on? The teen-age goof ball who change all their life? How could she forget!
The board member clutched his fist in anger and turned to look at the man again.
"And I want to talk to the board members later. That is all. Good day to all of you." The CEO said dismissing his employees.
The man, followed by his assistant who gave him some papers that one of the board members gave him, and bodyguards, walked over to the elevator to go to his office when something happened.
Akagi Haruko, giggling with her girl friends, and not looking where she's going, bumped on the new CEO; she blushed furiously when she noticed that she had just bumped the CEO and the papers that he was holding flew from his hands and were currently on the floor, scattered.
The assistant, Ryu, was about to scold Haruko for being careless when the CEO interjected. "Leave it, the girl didn't do it in purpose," then turning to the still blushing accountant he said coolly, "be careful, or the next time something happened like this, I won't hesitate to fire you."
And without turning back he went inside the elevator whose door opened right at that moment, passing him and Kogure without any hint of recognition on his eyes.
Mitsui was stunned. It looks like Haruko wasn't the only one who forgets…
