I Love You Again and Again

Chapter 19

Usagi and Katashi followed Saira carefully and at a proper distance where they could observe Saira. 
Saira took a taxi to where Mark was waiting for her. Usagi and Katashi quickly took a taxi after Saira did, and followed her carefully.
Saira arrived at a fancy restaurant in a fancy building which also was known for its fancy International cuisine. It was a restaurant where you have to get a reservation beforehand or have a membership card. Thankfully, Usagi and Katashi were known to the restaurant's staff because of their dad, Taiyo who would sometimes have his dinner meeting with his important clients. And also sometimes the family would have family dinner or lunch on special occasions. As for Saira, she had the restaurant membership card because of her mother who would rarely call Saira to this restaurant to eat together, and sometimes Saira would come alone to eat there when she doesn't feel like cooking.
Saira paid the taxi man and took a deep breath then went inside the fancy restaurant. She handed her membership card to the reception man, checked herself for the last time, and then walked confidently as a different person towards Mark's table.
She sat down right beside Mark and greeted him in a western way [ she kissed his cheeks only] while wrapping her arms around Mark's. Since this type of action is only acceptable for lovers or husband and wife. What Saira did was considered an unfamiliar, rude, and unacceptable manner in Japan.
The woman who was sitting in front of Saira and Mark was so shocked and taken back at what she saw, while Mark expected this kind of action from Saira since he needed her help. However, what surprised him was how Saira had grown up confidentiality. Unlike when she was young, shy, quiet, and timid.
" Y you... Who are you?! And what's your relationship with Mark-sama? " asked the woman who was sitting in front of them.
" Who am I? Well... What do you think about my relationship with him? If we are not...." said Saira while holding into Mark's arm, showing her intimacy, and smiling lovingly to Mark.
The woman got up from her seat so furiously and left the restaurant crying.
After the woman left Saira's facial expression changed into her normal expression, let out a sigh, and moved to the seat in front of Mark.
" As expected from an international actor's daughter," said Mark.
" Well, you are welcome," said Saira.
Mark smiled faintly and lovingly.
" You have grown up now," said Mark.
" Of course ~ did you expect me to be the same forever," said Saira while looking at the menu.
" Since I have helped you are going to reward me right? " asked Saira while smiling brightly. Mark giggled " Of course, order whatever you want, however... Won't you invite your friends over too? "
" Friends? ...." Saira looked around and spotted Usagi and Katashi.

Usagi smiled awkwardly while Katashi let out a quiet sigh.

After Usagi and Katashi joined Saira and Mark's table and ordered their food Usagi kept smiling awkwardly trying to think about how to explain to Saira. Saira kept staring at Usagi who was sitting in front of Saira for a while. Looking at how Usagi was nervous and how her expression was funny like a small kid who was caught doing something bad. Saira wanted to tease her more.
" So... You followed me from home? " asked Saira with an expressionless face.
" Saira-chan... I... I... I mean we, yes we were worried about you so we wanted to see if the guy you are dating is treating you well. I did not expect that... That he would be an adult. Saira-chan, have you thought about it well. You see I think..." Usagi stopped as she saw Saira giggling.
" Saira... Chan?! " Usagi looked at Saira strangely and thought of what she had said and wondered if she said something funny in the middle. Usagi's face began to show different kinds of expressions while thinking, which made Saira laugh.
Usagi looked at Katashi wondering if he is following what is going on " Onii-san?? "
Katashi at first when he saw Saira so intimate with Mark he thought that Saira was dating him for real, however, when he saw Saira's expression after that woman was gone and her expression when she was talking to Mark he knew that was not the case and somehow he felt relieved...
Katashi smiled faintly " That was just an act. They are not what are you thinking." said Katashi.
" How could tell that? Saira-Chan's act was flawless and believable, I believe. " said Mark wondering how Katashi found out.
"... I think you would know if you know to what kind of person Saira is and if you pay attention to her. "
"...He has been paying this much attention? ..." said Saira in her inner thoughts.
Mark grinned " Is that so? You seem to pay a lot of attention to Saira-chan."
Saira got surprised and turned to Mark " Don't say that " whispered Saira to Mark.
" I think it's normal since I'm looking after her as a senior and she is under our care. I just did what anyone could have done." Said Katashi while looking confidently at Mark.
Well, that is what he thought he looked and felt however to Mark he felt the uncertainty in Katashi's eyes. It was normal for Mark to catch up with people's feelings and thought's so quickly since his job as an excellent and responsible lawyer needed to. Mark did not pressure Katashi and just let it be. Because he knew that for now no matter what he said the other party would deny it since they are still insisting on denying their feelings and won't accept it, realizing it, or even open the thought of it. He also thought that it's early and he was not sure what Saira is thinking and feeling yet.
" I see... Well, then I'm thankful for your care" said Mark then he turned to Saira to look at her.
When Saira heard what Katashi said her expectations were shattered however she did not show it and smiled normally.
Usagi took time to realize and process what is happening "What?? Eh? Eh? Eeeeeeeeeeh???!!" Usagi looked at Saira " Then... Then who is he?!" asked Usagi.
Saira let out a faint laugh " This question is kind of late don't you think so? "
" It's not important. Just who is he? What is your relationship? Hurry up and tell me ~" Said Usagi excitedly.
While Usagi was urging Saira to tell her the food came. " Usagi, mind your behavior, well you," said Katashi trying to calm Usagi down.
Usagi got embarrassed when she realized what she was doing and saw that the butler was smiling. Realizing that Usagi calmed down and sat down quietly.
"... Hurry up and tell me" whispered Usagi.
Katashi let out a quiet sigh while Mark smiled faintly.
" Well then, this is Mark he is my cousin. " said Saira.
"... What? That's it?! " said Usagi.
"Hahaha." Mark laughed and handed his business card to Usagi to introduce himself properly. "Well then let me introduce myself properly. I'm Mark Endo, an International Lawyer." said Mark humbly.
"Wooow. International lawyer huh." Usagi took Mark's business card and when she saw that he is also a CEO " What? a CEO?! You really just introduced yourself humbly! Wow, a CEO at such young age... You are a big shot. Now I understand why women are after you so passionately. Saira-Chan, you have such a strong backup. I'm so envious ~" said Usagi.
" Yes, she sure has..." said Mark while looking at Saira.
Saira did not say anything and just drank her strawberry smoothies which she ordered.
