Gojyo skipped college the next day. He woke up late and then spend his time in the game room in his house.

"Bouchan sama." Takeru entered the room and stop beside him as he plays a car stimulation game.

"What?" Gojyo snapped at takeru while smoking.

"Suzano sama is wondering if you would attend the dinner tonight. All the stock holders will be there."

Gojyo turn away from his game and look at Takeru. "Why should i? Kakuji nii san is the CEO. Let him handle those petty stuff." He stood up stretching as he left the room while Takeru followed from behind.

"But master says it is compulsory." They pass by the painting room where his mother was working.

"Gojyo dear." She called out from the inside. He sigh and entered the room.

"What is it?" He sat on a couch as his mother continues painting.

"Are you going to the dinner tonight?"

"Not interested."

His mother turn to look at him then stood up and sat beside him.

"But your father say your must go. Why are you so moody dear? Something wrong?" She place her hand on his lap and smile.

"I don't see the need for me to attend it." He took her hand up as rest his head on her lap.

"Silly dear. You are still his son. Just go for me?" He look up at his mother. She is still so young. Having him at the age of 20 and married. He could never understand why.

"Mother. Why did you throw your future away just because you have me?" His mother pinch his cheeks and smile.

"Silly boy. You still wonder about that? I didn't throw my future. You are my future." "I am already in college.." He rub his cheeks and takes out his cigarette. His mother took it and break it into half.

"Not in front of me dear." She smiles with a cold stare.

"You are only 19. You don't understand love so you won't understand." She motion his bodyguard.

"Takeru. Can you help get Gojyo ready for tonight?"

"As you wish suzano sama."

"He is my guard not my butler."Gojyo stands up and walks off. "I will only be there for half an hour." He said before leaving.

His mother shakes her head as Takeru followed him from behind.
