We got out of the car and saw someone waiting for us at the door....
It was a young man. He is a tall, wearing a formal suit, with purplish black hair and green eyes. He has a mole under his right eye. He really looked handsome.
, Hello, my name is Tadashi Kikuchi. Welcome to the house of Ainosuke. Please follow me. You are already expected."
My father smiled at me and went after the young man. I just followed them annoyed, because I really didn't feel like it. We entered a large hall where three older women were sitting. They greeted us and my father talked to them. I looked around bored until Tadashi came up to me. He bowed and said:
,,Miss Y/N, please follow me. I see you look bored, I can show you our villa."
,,First of all, please just call me Y/N and yes I would like to see it. It's definitely better than sitting here."
He nodded and showed me around the house. As he did, he told me various stories from when he was a kid. He even mentioned a boy named Shindo. Shindo..
I don't know why, but it sounds so familiar... anyway. Excitedly I listened to him until we went into the garden. It was a beautiful garden full of beautiful flowers. Suddenly I stopped when I heard a familiar voice behind me.
,,Well, well, Y/N. It is an honor to meet my beauty at my home."
When I turned around I saw a familiar face. Before I could say anything, Tadashi interrupted me.
,,My lord. This is Y/N. The daughter of Mr. Ota. Y/N, this is Mr. Ainosuke Shindo."
Now it all comes back to me! Ainosuke Shindo is Adam!
I stuttered:
,, Yes... it's an honor."
I bowed, but before I could straighten up again, Adam just started laughing.
,,Cut out the formalities, sweetie. We've known each other for a long time."
He winked at me and I immediately blushed. Before it could get any more awkward, Tadashi spoke.
,,My lord, Y/N. Dinner is ready. Your aunts and Mr. Ota are already waiting."
As I was about to follow Tadashi, someone suddenly stopped me by my hand. He whispered in my ear:
,,Don't get any ideas about calling me Adam now. This is our little secret. Just call me Shindo."
He let go of my hand again with a grin on his lips. I swallowed and quickly went after Tadashi. Dinner was okay. I'm not interested in my father's business stuff. However, I felt looks on me all the time, which made me slightly nervous. But whenever I tried to look at Shindo, he just grinned and looked away.
T
he farewell was not much more pleasant. But when I came home with my father, I asked him what the business was this time.
,,The ladies and I were talking about you and Mr. Ainosuke getting married. That would give us many opportunities to make more money. We can become even richer!"
WHAT?!
