My Princess | MoMiTzu

Chapter 4

Momo drove into the garage of my house and parked beside the familiar limousine. My parent was home already? That was unusual. 

"We are home." Momo and I said simultaneously. "Welcome home." Mother revealed her head from the kitchen. We walked to the kitchen. Mother was putting supplies into cupboards. "Have you eaten?" "We just come back from brunch. Where is father?" "He is still meeting. He told me to come back. I also bought some groceries for replenishment." Mother finished organizing the supplies and faced Momo. "Momo feel free to take the snacks." Mother then looked at me thoughtfully and walked to the study room. I turned around and tell Momo that I was going to talk with mother, made yourself at home. I walked to the study room and knocked. "Come in." 

Mother was sitting on a single seater lounge chair. I seated on a lounge chair adjacent to her. "Mother, you are the contract attorney. Why did father tell you to come back? Did the agreement failed?"I asked disbelievingly. Mother shook her head."It's just that someone offers a better deal to him. He needs to reconsider. So your father is trying to build good relations with him." Mother sighed. "Did you know who is our competitor?"I asked impatiently. "Mika Corporation. We haven't heard of that company before." Mother furrowed brows.

"Have Takeshi found any new clue?" 

"He is still investigating the scene and the CCTV." I nodded glumly.

I came to think of it - my phone. They took away my phone. I have a suspicion that they were coming for the new discovery of the product since they chose to attack during the symposium. The product still in development. We needed partnership to complete the product so that was the reason we traveling around Japan. Osaka was our last destination, MT Corporation was our main target for coming to Osaka. They had developed a new technology which fit the requirement of our production, the symposium was only a platform to introduce our product to them. But because of the attack, father had to go to the corporation to present the product that had been interrupted which slowed down our original pace. Now, a man out of blue appeared and interfered our project. Are they related? But why?

I needed to do something about it. Our hard work cannot just vain. "Mother, I will go out for a while to find out who is behind this." "Be careful. Bring a bodyguard." "I will, mother." I left the study room and went to the living room. Momo was sitting on the couch watching TV and eating pudding. 

"Momo, do you want to go out with me?" "But we just came back." She argued. "All right, then bye." I walked to the doorway composedly. 1 — 2 — 3 — I smirked when footsteps hurried to me. "Mina, I come with you."She said meekly then took a bite of the unfinished pudding. "Is it apple flavor?" "Yes." Momo scooped a spoonful of apple pudding to my mouth. "Bring more to the car." I demanded. Momo run in the kitchen and brought a bag full of snacks. "Let's go!"

"Please drive us to Nishishinsaibashi, Gintoki." I asked the bodyguard guarding outside the house. Gintoki bowed to me and informed another bodyguard through his earpiece. After a while, a Toyota Avalon stopped in front of us. Gintoki opened the car door for us. "Thank you, Gintoki." "Princess Mina, Shimura will be your driver. Shimura, please take good care of Princess Mina and Miss Momo." Shimura nodded firmly.

"Shimura, do you have Genos's contact number?"

"Yes. I have." 

"Can I borrow your phone?" 

"Sure. Princess Mina." Shimura passed me his phone. 

"Thank you."I took the phone. 

The car steadily drove in the main road.

The phone was picked out after one ring. 

"Hello, Genos. It's Princess Mina. I knew my phone always been tracked." Silence.
