Chapter 3: Sold Unexpectedly
Tsukasa kept staring at Tsukushi while talking.
"Hello Mrs. Madame, I am Domyoji Tsukasa and these are my associates, Hanazawa Rui. Mimasaka Akira, Nishikado Sojirou. We noticed your model here tonight on stage and we would like to buy her from you. Our price is € 10 million, take it or leave it," said Tsukasa.
"What is her name?" asked Rui.
"We accept your proposal and here is all the information on her; however she is not a model major, in fact she is something quite less show-y, if you will," said Madame.
Tsukasa, Rui, Akira and Sojirou looked through the portfolio and read every detail carefully.
"It is fine," said Tsukasa.
"We are glad to have made this arrangement," said Akira.
"Good night," said Sojirou.
The four left and Madame swooned.
"Oh Tsukushi dear, I am really sorry to sell you out like this but the offer was too good. I am sorry dear but you are always welcome back here anytime and your check should come in your mail tomorrow. Good night dear," said Madame.
"Good night," said Tsukushi.
'I am back where I started' thought Tsukushi.
Tsukushi walked out of the office to find the four men standing outside, each smirking except Tsukasa. He looked at Tsukushi with an expression of lust, sadness, knowing, and apologetic.
"I am going to quit you know," said Tsukushi.
"Not under the contract you don't," said Akira.
"If you do you have quite a fine to pay up," said Sojirou.
"Where have you been?" said Rui.
"Well, under the contract there is a special loop hole in it for me. I have another study program in England expecting me as soon as I graduate from here so good night," said Tsukushi.
They all watched the tall brown-haired woman with gorgeous physique (imagine Shizuka but with big brown eyes and a slightly rounder face) walk into the night.
"I don't think the town cars are running at this time of the night," said Rui.
Tsukasa ran through the office, caught the elevator, and caught up with Tsukushi in the lobby.
"Do you need a lift?" asked Tsukasa.
Tsukushi thought about it and realized the money she would save from not having to take a cab but she still has to face an uncomfortable situation with her ex-boyfriend.
"If you would not mind," said Tsukushi.
They walked side by side out the door to Tsukasa's silver Mercedes (cute!) and Tsukasa opened the door for Tsukushi politely. They drove off together into the night.
"So where do you live?" asked Tsukasa.
"Oh…it is xxx (street)," said Tsukushi.
"Ah, so we are broken now right?" said Tsukasa.
"Yes," said Tsukushi.
"…," Tsukasa was speechless.
"Oh yes, I noticed you have a fiancée. She is quite the um…," said Tsukushi.
"Feel free to express your feelings," said Tsukasa.
"…kind of person that does not allow makeup to be applied on her face freely," said Tsukushi.
Tsukasa laughed.
"When did you get to know cosmetic so well? Before you would barely allow it to touch your skin," said Tsukasa.
"Well, people change Tsukasa and I believe you have too," said Tsukushi.
"Thank you," said Tsukasa.
"Where did you meet this girl?" asked Tsukushi.
"Oh, my mother introduced us and since you were not there I sort of decided to put a small chance in her and it turns out she has a decent enough heart coming from the well known Takawari family," said Tsukasa.
"Really, well I really do hope you two will have the best lives you can both lead. I mean, when is your wedding so I can check my planner," said Tsukushi.
"It is in December, December 25. Christmas Day because that is the day we met," said Tsukasa.
"Aw, that is so romantic. Hold up, let me check," said Tsukushi.
Tsukasa glanced over at Tsukushi's PDA and noticed that nearly all the days have been marked with one event or another. On Christmas Day, it says that she has a pageant to run.
"I am SO sorry! Apparently I have the Christmas pageant in Milan to attend," said Tsukushi.
"It's okay, it would have been awkward to have my ex-girlfriend at my wedding with another girl," said Tsukasa.
Tsukushi laughed.
"So true," said Tsukushi.
They arrive at Tsukushi's apartment and he drops her off.
"Would you like a cup of tea or coffee before you go, after all, it is pretty late and a little caffeine won't hurt," said Tsukushi.
"Sure, I would like that," said Tsukasa.
Tsukushi led Tsukasa upstairs and when they reached her apartment, they entered to find it dark and the moonlight shining in.
"You can sit there, I'll get you an on the go cup," said Tsukushi.
Tsukasa sat down on the nearby chair and watched as Tsukushi moved around in her kitchen with those sexy black pumps and beige pants showing off her nice back and the top that revealed the cleavage she has now and the soft silky back.
'Wait, why am I thinking these sorts of things? I had to suffer so much to get to this stage and this is what I am doing? I was the one that left her and I intend to keep my promise.'
Just then, Tsukushi walked out of the kitchen with a cup of delicious smelling coffee.
"Here you go, fresh brewed," said Tsukushi.
Tsukasa grabbed the cup but when his hand had contact with Tsukushi's he was shocked. It was the most comforting sense of sweetness he has felt in years.
"Thanks, I will be on my way now. Oh and about your loophole, it was covered. You are paying back the €10 million we spent on you by working the debt off no matter where you go. Thanks for the coffee," said Tsukasa.
Tsukushi astonished by his last words, gave up and let him out. She closed the door and went to her bathroom to shower and rest.
'I didn't realize that we could get on such comfortable terms already. I feel great!'
She went to sleep contentedly and could not wait for the final exam.
