Hide and Seek (The Yamaguchi Veiled Intentions) - Season 2

Chapter 41

Chapter 41

"Welcome back to the Philippines Mr. & Mrs. Yamaguchi," one our men from the Philippines picked us up at the airport.

"Is everything ready?" I asked him.

"Hai, everything is ready. You'll play at 7 pm."

(Translation: Yes.)

"Good, then." A smirk crossed my lips before I turned to Milo ang Owen. "Double-check the area. Also, be there one hour before our arrival," I ordered. I just want to make sure that everything goes according to plan.

There was a party that my husband and I were invited to. I was also invited to play the violin for the celebrant, and I agreed as someone who loves playing the violin. My fee for this was high, but I will play later for free. Also, Milo and Owen are part of the Yamaguchi Empire's foremen, one of our most trusted men. They are half-Filipino and half-Japanese brothers. Milo is the oldest, and Owen is the youngest.

"Are we heading straight to the mansion?" I asked my husband, Hiroki. I want to take a beauty rest first before attending the event.

"Maybe it's time to meet Mr. Lim?" He said. Mr. Lim is the one who introduced us to the shares of Familia Fierro they're selling. But, he's also selling some of his shares to us for his own company. He's been courting us for quite some time. And we're just meeting him through a video call. We haven't met him in person yet.

"Is he expecting us today?" I removed my shades as soon as we got into the car.

"I didn't tell him that today is our flight."

"He'll be surprised to see us." I said.

We did go to Mr. Lim's company to finally meet him in person. Milo and Owen have already contacted them about our arrival. Maybe Mr. Lim doesn't know what to do now that we're coming. But one thing is for sure, he'll be excited.

Hiroki assisted me as I got out of the car as soon as we stopped in front of the company, where all of Mr. Lim's employees were lined up to greet us. Also, my eyes immediately spotted Mr. Lim, who even bowed to show his respect for our unexpected visit.

"It's finally nice meeting you, Mr. and Mrs. Yamaguchi. I am truly honored," he said, and even reached out his hand to us.

"You better make it worth my while, or else." Hiroki meaningly said as he reached Mr. Lim's hand.

"I love your company," I added, and smiled a little. "It's modern and big. Should I buy it?" I saw Mr. Lim's expression become serious after hearing what I said. He knows me well when I like something.

"She's just joking," Hiroki said, to ease the mood.

"Yeah, I'm just joking, Mr. Lim. Don't be so serious. You're not like that during our video calls." Maybe he's just nervous now that he finally met us. But he's known for being persistent, especially when it comes to buying some of his shares. Still, he's a good and dependable man.

We entered his office, and it was nice. The ambiance, the furniture, everything was modern and visually appealing. But one thing that caught my attention was the large painting on his wall. Because of that, I switched to a more serious mode and looked directly at Mr. Lim as I sat on one of his couches without waiting for his consent. I even crossed my legs.

"I know there's a camera behind that painting. Is it activated right now?" I raised my eyebrow. Even Hiroki and others looked at the painting.

"Mrs. Yamaguchi, yes, there's a camera behind the painting, and it's currently active. But I'm not going to use it against you," he said, trembling and at a loss for words. Well, he's always like that when he's nervous.
