Chapter 3
"I think you should get rid of her, she is rude, and I don't think your farther will be happy to hear that one of your employes was rude to me" Charlotte commented, as if she wasn't blackmailing him but just making him think twice about it, Naru of corse wasn't having any of it.
"Tell him if you want, but under no circumstances will I 'get rid' of Mai" Naru replied with he's normal cool attitude. He knew deep down inside she wasn't going to tell, so he wasn't worried. Though she did just threaten Mai, maybe she was that crazy.
"Fine, if that's the way you want it" Charlotte yelled, storming off like a child does. She went to talk to Yasu who had been the only one who listens to her.
"Oh hey Charlotte, you ok, you look upset?" Yasu questioned with a sweet but normal troublesome smile.
"I don't like this" Charlotte confessed, looking down at her hands.
"Yeah, I saw what happened between you and Mai, don't worry about her, she will be back to her normal self soon, she bounces back pretty quickly" Yasu assured, thinking that was what she was upset about.
"It's not that, it's this whole situation" Charlotte explained hoping that Yasu would know what she meant.
"The party?" Yasu questioned, he is so dense.
"No, the whole me marrying thing. I wish I had the chance to meet someone on my own. Instead of some arranged marriage" Charlotte explained to Yasu to the best of her ability. She did at first like Naru but now she doesn't see him like that. She was the type to know what she wanted, but when it came to love that was a different question. She also saw that Mai and Naru had a soft spot for each over.
"What would you like to do about it?" Yasu asked in the best intentions.
"Well, we could...
Mai's POV
Why does it have to be like this? It's like, I am so close to him yet... so far away.
Why does everyone I love leave me? Why is it only me left with a broken heart...
With Naru
He was still at the party and was wondered what he should do. What if Charlotte did make a scene? What if she told his farther about Mai being 'rude'? What is Mai decides not to come back because of Charlotte?
Naru decided he would go see if Mai was ok. He had never been to Mai's house but her medical records had her address. Just in case she is in an accident (AN. Ha Ha I meant another accident) Naru quickly and quietly went into his office to find the paper work she filled in when she joined SPR. He found the address and left, trying to draw as little attention as possible. Lin noticed but disregarded it. Nothing can go unnoticed by him.
Naru took a cab to the address written. He was just across the road from Mai house when Mai came out. She had a large bag in hand. Mai noticed Naru crossing the road to meet her.
"If your here to sack me Charlotte already did" Mai said looking at him to say 'your too late'.
"Why would I sack you? And since when is Charlotte your boss?" Naru asked with a raised brow.
"She text me saying that you said 'my services are no longer needed and that I should go else were' " Mai confronted.
"I never said any of that but, out of interest, how did she get your number?" Naru asked. Mai wasn't dum, so she wouldn't give someone she didn't like her number.
"Well the party consisted of a drunk Bon-san and Miko (Ayako)" Mai said placing a hand on her hips as if to say 'do-the-math'
"Point taken, one last question, where are you going?" Naru asked looking at the large bag.
