This is Aki's penthouse in Central London! [2017.5.23]

-

"I have to take at least a week off—" I was cut off mid-sentence with a large, breathtaking, hug. Literally, breathtaking.

"Aw! Is my beautiful daughter going to work overseas?" My father cooed. Like father like son, as they say.

I wiggled from my dad's grasp and pushed him away. I adjusted the hem of my dress before returning to my cut off sentence. "I have to take a least a week off to go to London and sort out any problems with the companies digital database, and make an international announcement."

My tongue darted in between my pink lips, wetting them. I was nervous, to say the least. Incredibly nervous. Revealing a large well kept secret was—no... Is nerve-wracking. It's not so much as a dangerous secret for the public, as it is for the family. Kyouya's father can find out and so can my grandmother. Not good. 

Why must I make this announcement now? If partnerships are created with other companies, and they find out by themselves, it can result in being sued for breaches of contracts. Besides, the sooner it's out, the better.

I stood up and walked out the door, shutting the large oak doors behind me with a silent click before my father could talk to me and question my motives any longer.

"Aki!" A youthful voice cheered. I turned around and noticed Honey bouncing down the hallway, clutching Usa-chan in his arms, and Takashi trailing behind silently, as always.

"Honey, Takashi." I greeted with a wave.

"Where are you going this afternoon?" Honey cradled the pink bunny.

"I'll be taking a plane to London and staying in my penthouse," I smiled, "although, I'm pretty nervous," I admitted, rubbing the back of my neck.

My nervous disposition was broken, after seeing the tiny blonde looking up at me with somewhat hopeful eyes. "Will I get to come too?"

I froze before fiddling with the cuffs to my black lace dress. The high white collar suddenly became tighter, due to my resurfacing nervousness and I tugged on it gently. "Truth be told, I'm not sure. Although, with Tamaki's antics there might be a chance."

"Yay! Will you be back for the autumn ball?" Honey pouted, looking up at me in hope.

"I will be back in plenty of time! I should be getting a dress over in London while I'm there," I grinned back, ruffling Honey's hair. I looked down at my leather watch, "oh my god! Look at the time! I must be leaving soon otherwise I'll miss my plane," I cried.

I pulled Honey into a quick hug and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. Honey smiled and waved Usa-chan in the air, and I ran over to Takashi, "be sure to tell the host club I love them and that I'll be back soon," I hugged him.

I pulled away from the somewhat embarrassing hug and ran down the hallway, towards the entrance of the school, "Ciao!" I yelled over my shoulder.

- (Everyone is speaking English from this point) -

I rushed through the airport, making it on my private jet just in time for it to be leaving the minute I sat down. The engine roared to life underneath my feet as we pulled onto the runway. Maria walked into the back to gather work papers and folders from my business and sat down quickly in the kitchen area, not wanting to get caught up in the G-force.

I hope the maids don't pull a stunt like they did when I went to the water park. I slumped in my seat at the thought of finding consequences much worse, than a house that looked like it had been barfed all over by unicorns. Cue anime crying.
