What If • Kamitani Hayato

chapter fifteen - departure

Third person's POV

Mizuka already told her friends, Inomata and Yuki that she'll go back to America to fix things but she haven't told Hayato yet.

She doesn't have the courage to do so.

"Oneechan, why are we packing our things?" Misaki asked, "We're going back to Mom, and the company needs me" Mizuka answered.

"Oh! I remember"

"Hayato-niichan called" Misaki said, "Really? What did he say?" Mizuka is confused, she haven't got a phone call this morning.

"He said 'tell her to meet me at the park'" Misaki answered. "Right" Mizuka sighed, "How can I tell him? I've been to America back and forth. My time is going to be limited, I have so much to do"

Mizuka made up her mind, she'll go to see him.

"Hayato~" She waved and put on a smile, "You have a practice?" She asked as Hayato is in his baseball uniform.

"Yeah, I just came here to give you this" He gave Mizuka the jacket she always steals in Hayato's closet.

"Hayato..." Mizuka smiled and sighed, "I'm going back to America, it might take a while-" Hayato cut her up, "Misaki told me this morning, I'm okay here. Just text me if you're free" Mizuka laughed, "I know you're going to call me every evening" She said.

Hayato came with her in the airport, had a little lunch with her and they departed right after.

Mizuka arrived and while she's being escorted to her home,  Emily told her anything from minor disagreements to retirements. But after all the explaining is done, she finally got to call Hayato.

"Hayato~ I'm here at my mom's house, we just arrived" She said, "I just finished practice too, how are you?" He asked, "We're fine, you. Drink water okay? Last time you didn't you might get dehydrated" Mizuka said that made Hayato chuckle, "Yeah I know, I just forgot that time" He said, "I'm going to take a shower, talk to you later" He added, "I love you" Hayato ended the call.

Mizuka find it weird that Hayato said "I love you" first. He usually say it after her.

After they had dinner, Mizuka immediately started to work, Mary even told her to do it tomorrow but Mizuka said the members don't know that she'll come to the office, and by the time she goes to the company, she wanted to end the drama and investigate.

And hopefully to resolve everything quickly.

FAST FORWARD: 3 DAYS LATER

Mizuka's POV

Let's get this thing done.

I opened the door to my office and found the Vice President sitting on my table with her secretary. "Mizuka!" She squealed, "Don't act like you're happy to see me" As I say and glared at her, "Where's Mrs. Edison?" I asked directly, "Meeting room 3" She said boringly.

Emily told me that members always chill out once sales or stocks increases, not long after another company beat us, they acted as if they're hardworking when clearly they're just playing games.

They lied about stocks, to me, to my secretary and to the company. I'm not even surprise how the money I've put into new projects is always out of hand, in the end they'll claim it wasn't enough to cover the project.

Ever since this incidents keep on reoccurring, I started to doubt. Emily didn't even know any of the propaganda of these members, all reports that was given to her is fake.

But this time, they're busted.

As I opened the door, I caught them playing cards, even betting. They didn't even bother to look who just opened their door, I laughed, "Someone forgot to do something" I said and they all glanced, "Did you see a ghost? You look so afraid" I joked.

"Ms. Kamiyama, let us explain-"

I sat down and crossed my arms while Emily gave them the file, "Tell the legal team your story, they'll appreciate it" I winked.

They were dragged out of the room and was taken care of the company's legal team, if I haven't come here, they wouldn't make this straight.

All I have to do is get out of the losing streak and start a new strike.
