Why did that stupid man bring her here?
Andrew cursed inwardly when he saw Hiro and Keiko entering the room. He clenched his jaw tightly until a loud rumbling sound was heard, making Jovanka look up and look at him in wonder.
Clark took two steps forward, stood next to his best friend and whispered, “Control yourself, Drew.”
Andrew snorted softly and turned his face away. Right now he really wanted to lash out and beat up Hiro for acting so recklessly. Did he not know that his fiance had just been attacked by his enemy? Bringing the girl here was tantamount to opening up an opportunity for the next attack. Years of dabbling with the bandits, of course, make Andrew understand that the criminals are always eyeing the weakness of their enemies. In this case, for sure
Sakamoto Keiko is Hiro's weakness that will continue to be targeted.
After letting go of Jovanka's hand, Andrew walked towards the buffet table. He grabbed a glass of soft drink on the table and finished it
in one breath. The man was very upset. Hiro's actions made things even more difficult. He was afraid that he would not be able to make the right decision if he was in contact with Keiko. If the one who came was Mr. Sora himself, of course everything will be easier
“Why isn't Senior Kobayashi coming?” andrew murmured as Clark caught up and stood beside him.
“I don't know either,” replied Clark slowly, “There is no information from the center regarding this change. Maybe the old man could not come so forced to be replaced by his son.”
“Then why did he take the girl? Absolutely stupid and careless,” cursed Andrew without covering up his sense of regret.
Jovanka approached. The woman again wrapped her hands around Andrew's arms and asked curiously.
“What are you talking about? Why whispering?”
Clark nodded his head at a glance towards Hiro and Keiko who were heading for the stairs while asking, “Why didn't anyone tell if Kobayashi Junior was coming?”
“I don't know either. Mr. Tanaka didn't tell me anything before I left earlier,” Jovanka replied.
From Jovanka's facial expression, Andrew was pretty sure the woman did not know this change either. Inevitably, now they have to improvise, right?
“Come here,” take Andrew while holding Jovanka's hand to the middle of the room. They should be able to catch Hiro's attention if they want everything to go according to the original plan.
Jovanka smiled broadly and pressed her body against Andrew's arm. This is a really rare opportunity. Usually he is always easy to conquer a man, even usually the men voluntarily throw themselves into his arms, bend their knees without he needs to bother. Andrew Roux
it's the only exception. The man is really as cold as an iceberg in Antarctica, making Jovanka more curious and want to have it.
Jimmy who was dressed as a businessman walked up to Andrew and said hello, “You must be Mr. Junior Roux, isn't it? What a wonderful coincidence to meet you here.”
“Halo, Mr ... Russell?” reply Andrew while welcoming Jimmy's hand outstretched towards him.
“True once! I don't think you have a good memory. Dinner with your father is unforgettable.”
“You must visit Paris again. Dad will be happy.”
“Of course I'll be there again. By the way, what business would make a reclusive Young Master like you come here?”
Andrew showed his helpless expression and replied, “Dad is getting older. He insisted on handing over Phoenix.Co to be taken care of by me. Well ...”
“Oh, I understand ...”
The two men laughed like old friends who had just met. Clark could only hold his breath looking at the two people
his partner played a charade in front of him, lest something go wrong and be fatal. He immediately carried out his role as a good assistant, looking for a seat so that they can talk more freely.
More and more guests are coming. The room that was originally empty now began to fill up quickly. All kinds of people are present there with their own interests. Some want to find connections, others want to make the most of their profits. So, you could say there are only about 0.01% of guests who come for charity events.
Andrew and Jimmy continue to play their roles very well. The goal is to be able to attract the attention of Kobayashi's men who can be sure to have scattered in the room to find new prey. Fortunately, their intentions were immediately realized. A burly man slowly approached their table and looked down at Andrew.
“Master Kobayashi is waiting for you in the VIP room, Sir,”, the man said as he thrust a black card with a gold dragon engraving on the front.
Andrew turned to the man for a glance, then immediately stood up and tidied up his suit. Mercifully. At least he didn't have to linger exchanging nonsense
“Only Mr. Roux-J” said the man again when he saw Jovanka and Clark standing.
“I'm her fiance. She can't leave me here,” protests Jovanka while clutching Andrew's fingers.
“Mr. Roux can't go without me, Sir,” Clark chimps while tidying up his tie, “I set all his schedules.”
“Oh .. You guys just continue. Call me when you're free, Sir,” Jimmy said as he got up and shook Andrew's hand.
The task is done. Now he must get out and check the evacuation route if suddenly they have to run plan-B.
Envoy Hiro looked a little worried. He pressed a button on the communication channel that slipped behind his ear and spoke Japanese. Not long after, he nodded and pointed his way towards the stairs.
“Please, Mr. Roux,” he said as he gave way. His hand extended forward made the tip of his shirt slightly tugged upwards, making the bluish-black color of the tattoo poking out near the wrist.
Two men in black immediately approached Andrew, Jovanka, and Clark after they reached the top of the ladder. They searched the bodies of the three people, then invited them to the VIP room. The room looks bigger than inside. Minimalist design with a blend of colors that are not too bright and striking makes the room feel quite comfortable.
“Master,” greet Andrew while slightly bowing, followed by Jovanka and Clark.
“Mr. Roux, nice to meet you.” Hiro got up and greeted his guests with both hands wide open. “Sit. Make yourself feel comfortable.”
Inevitably, Andrew was amazed that the man spoke in fairly fluent English.
“Thank you, Mr. Kobayashi,” reply.
Andrew smiled faintly and took a seat facing the glass. Without being told,
Jovanka and Clark sit on their left and right sides. At first glance he glanced at Keiko who was sitting near the mini bar. It seemed that the girl had not noticed his presence.
“You are really a gentleman, insist on bringing your fiance here, eh?” hiro said as he poured Russo Baltique Vodka,
one of the most expensive alcoholic beverages in the world.
“You also have a good taste regarding drinks,” reply Andrew with a thin grin. He knew the man in front of him was just insinuating. Maybe Hiro is upset that Jovanka and Clark insist on coming with him.
“Well .. I'm sure we both have good taste, don't you think?”
Hiro handed the filled glass to his guests, then leaned back on the turquoise-colored sofa comfortably.
Seeing Hiro's behavior makes Andrew even more upset, because honestly .. the man looks quite handsome, quite harmonious if juxtaposed with Keiko. Suddenly he felt pessimistic. Can he get the girl's heart?
“Ehem! Mr. Roux would be very happy if he could work with Hynn Industry,” Clark said as he nudged Andrew's elbow. He looked up and looked at his friend with narrowed eyes. It could be that the man was daydreaming in a crucial moment like this!
“Oh, yeah. Indeed I plan to open a branch of Phoenix.Co in Japan. A pride if can cooperate with you.” Andrew
grabbing the glass in front of him and lifting it to the height of the chin. “Cheers?”
Hiro smiled until his eyes formed a crescent moon. It seemed like he was very satisfied with Andrew's statement just now. The man immediately raised his glass and touched it to the end of Andrew's glass.
“Cheers.”
The sound of the clinking glass caught Keiko's attention. The girl who was upset about being forced to come here by her fiancee was slowly
turning over, he nearly toppled over from the chair when he saw who was sitting in front of Hiro.
Does that man want to die? I must warn him immediately!
As if having a red thread connecting the two of them, Andrew looked up and turned to the mini bar. He smiled and raised his glass towards the girl who was staring at him.
“Cheers?”
