Chapter two
"Well, this must be my new husband, he is really cute!" the girl said as if she was a teenaged girl, not a scientist. She had long strawberry blond hair with bright blue eye's.
"Well now Noll, I will leave you to it and be sure you let her stay with you today" The man (Naru's farther) ordered with that strong voice of his.
"Well I have work to do, she wont want to go there a watch me file" Naru defended, trying to make his farther see 'some' sence.
"Well she can talk to your co-workers, and that Taniyama girl" The man said with a yes-I-know-her kinda smirk. How did he know about Mai? Did he know she knows Gene? Did Lin tell him about Mai? Naru realising he could not argue with his farther just agreed.
"Yes Sir, well I going to SPR now" Naru said as he walked away with Charlotte at his side clutching his arm like what Masako does. He was clearly annoyed about her but had bigger problems to deal with.
End of flash back
"As of today... " Naru trailed off to make sure he had everyone's attention. "Myself and renowned scientist Charlotte Weist are engaged... " Naru looked up to see everyone's shocked faces but he didn't dare look at Mai.
"Is that what you want? You don't look very happy abo... " Mai said but when she looked at him she could tell he shouldn't have said it. "I'm sorry it's none of my bissness" Mai said looking down to try hide her broken heart.
"Your right, it isn't, but since you asked it was an arranged by our parents. And any way why wouldn't he want to marry me?" said the girl who was at the door (Charlotte Weist). Everyone one went back into frozen shock.
"It's fine Mai, I'm going to my office" Naru announced and then he left for his office.
"Mai? Taniyama Mai is it" Charlotte said and then smirked. She had heard about Mai from Dr Davic.
"You know my name?" Mai asked a little confused. They had never met so Naru must have told her our names.
"Yes, now make yourself useful and make tea while I talk to the grown ups" Charlotte ordered. Mai was so angry that she was practically radiating red the colour of anger.
"Hey, you can't just talk to... " Monk yelled till Masako placed her hand on his shoulder telling him to stop.
"Mai's job is to do as Naru asks, not what you asks, second she is apart of this team so you can't just tell her to leave and thirdly what makes you think we want to talk to you?" Masako said in a calm tone that make her sound scary. Everyone was shocked that first Masako said that and second that she stood up for Mai. Well to be fair that they had been getting along better and haven't been fighting, and Masako had gotten over Naru when he left.
"Mai! Miss Hara! Can you come into my office please!" Naru yelled and it wasn't a question. Mai and Masako didn't waste no time in doing as he said and went to his office. To there surprise he wasn't angry, he was smirking. "As amusing as it was, my farther will not be impressed, so can you 'try' and be nice. Also it is Miss Charlotte's wish for the wedding to be public but she doesn't know many people here in Japan so I have insisted you two and Miss Matuzuki to be brides maids, but I wont force you." Naru requested because he needed them (by that he means Mai) to help him get through the worst day of his life. Mai looked down and was thinking about it, she didn't want to go but at the same time she wanted to support Naru.
"I don't think... " Masako started, she know about Mai's pain and was going to spend that day with Mai to help her deal with her loss, untill.
"Sure" Mai said with a fake smile that didn't reach her eye's. Both Masako and Naru could tell it was fake but didn't want to make matters worse by questioning her.
