Chapter 6: Calls

"Yamada, I've gathered all these materials for next week's conference. The stocks have been declining, but slowly recovering. Takumi really pulled a all nighter last night." Ren placed the graph posters, and files on my desk.

"I will make sure to thank him." I smiled.

"I will too." He chuckles. "How have you been?"

"Fine. Just gotten sick recently, and had to take a few days off."

"Take care of yourself. It's rough without you at the office." He frowns.

"I will. Please throw away these letters." I pointed to the pile of junk in the trash.

"Will do. See you at lunch." He bows, and leaves with the trash can.

Ren is the second boss of the company. He basically held the same position as me. He was the one I chose personally since I needed an assistant manager that can function as me. Takumi had his choice of who to put in charge, and I had mine.

I envy Ren. He was a happy guy. He always seems to know what he wants to do, and has a strong aura which is a benefit to the company. He also is a father. I feel fathers' know the importance of perfection.

I heard a knock on my door. "Come in." I called out. The door slowly opened, and it was Takumi. He looked rather reserved today.

"Yamada I just wanted to check up on you. I got you some coffee." He hands me a cup.

"Thanks."

"Kyou is at the desk."

My eyes shot up to meet Takumi's. "What does he want?"

"I have no idea. "

"Seiji, someone is looking for you. Looks like a former coworker." Ren came in with the same news.

Takumi looks over at Ren. "I don't think the chief wants to talk to him."

"No I will." I stood up. "Go back to work. I'll handle it."

"You sure?" Takumi shows concern.

"Yeah. He is harmless."

"Alright then." He retreats.

I walked out into the main hallway, and into the waiting room. I saw Kyou sitting there with a stack of papers, and a small electric fan on him.

Puzzled, I walked over towards him, but before I got close enough, he stood up. He looked mad. His glare stunned me, but I didn't show it on my exterior. "How dare you throw away all our things." He says bitterly.

"I don't think this is the appropriate time to be discussing this."

"You let that man into our house!" He screams.

"Mr. Kusaka, lower your voice." I reached out, and he slapped my hand away.

"I had to deal with your cat, and mouse games. Quit telling everyone I'm the bad guy!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Junko told me there is gossip about me being a shitty boyfriend!"

"Will you quiet down?" I could feel the veins popping from my temples. I saw stares of people in the waiting room, and shopping area. I was beyond embarrassed.

"No. I've had enough of it." He takes the stack of papers, and unhooks the mini fan from his breast pocket.

"What are you doing?" I looked at him in disbelief.
