All or Nothing

Chapter 8: The Search

Casimiro's POV*

It's been weeks since everyone got busy; Ryuji's planning of his career is really stressful, he told me that he needs to learn how to manage a business, their family business, I suppose. I live here at the Matsumoto Estate with Ryuji since we were supposed to go back in Japan after that meeting when Grandma had a heart attack. It's good to be here but with what happened, I just wanna go back to Japan, there's too much tense and stress around here. I'm sitting on my armchair near the window and browsing on my laptop, reading emails and stuff. I haven't thought of what to do with my consequence though, unlike Ryuji's, mine is a bit easier than his. Should I start doing mine? He has no clue that I'm gonna be his matchmaker, I looked outside to see the view of the garden; I wonder who will take Ryuji seriously? If you're a girl, and you know Ryuji's family background, of course you'd say yes to marry him. I have to find a deserving one, one who wouldn't mess around the family's wealth, which's faithful enough to love him and be with him 'til he dies. Someone who Ryuji trust, perhaps? Think, he's colleagues, co stars? But I don't want to bring his personal life in showbiz. Maybe I should look for those who knew him for a long time. I looked at my laptop again and started searching for his female colleagues and maybe some of his high school and college ex classmates.

I have to prepare these girls' profiles and study them; I can't just give Ryuji someone I don't know. I printed the files and read them one by one.

I sat on the end of my bed and let a deep sigh out, *sigh* I have to find these people and meet them, I only got 12 months to do so better start working. I put all the files on a black folder and put them on my bed. I took a shower and wore a navy blue V-neck shirt and black pants and black socks; I fixed my hair and then grabbed my keys, folder and black shades.

I went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water before leaving when the front door opened, "Heading out?" Ryuji asked while taking off his shoes, "Yeah," I said shortly while walking towards him. "Where you going?" he asked then put his hands in his pocket while staring at me wearing my shoes, "Just meeting an old friend," I lied then bowed to him to say goodbye. I don't want him to ask where I'm going or who I'm meeting so I hurriedly went out of the door then closed it. I walked to the parking garage and get in my car. As I start the car, the guard opened the gate for me so I drove off.

(Mall 13:20)*

I'm waiting for my first choice of girl for Ryuji; I'm sitting near the window of a coffee shop when a cute lady approached me, "Casimiro?" she asked, I looked up and removed my shades to see her clearly, she's wearing a full pink attire! She looks too cute to be Ryuji's wife, isn't she? I don't think this girl can handle Ryuji's life. So I finished chatting with her that I moved to my next destination to meet another one.

I'm standing near a fountain now here inside the mall when I formal-looking lady approached me, here's candidate number 2. She's wearing a formal white blouse and a fitted black skirt, wearing black eyeglasses and carrying a black case, she looks like a lawyer to me.

I'm meeting candidate number 3 on a bar, I'm sitting on s stool by the counter when this sexy lady talked to me, "Hey, pretty boy" she said with a flirty voice, "Sorry, I'm here to meet someone," I said not looking at her. She softly grabbed my chin and made me look her way, "Silly, it's me," she said while laughing in a flirty way, I gulped the gin I just drank. God, this is definitely not the right one.
