The Woman Of THREE CROWN PRINCES
THE GEISHA AND MOMIJI DREAM PART 72. Kimiko Yamasaki 6th
"I've been looking for information about Kimiko Yamasaki from my sister. He and his family should not be underestimated. Our family in Tokyo was close. Even if it's only been this year. And it seems that he does want our family to be bound by an arranged marriage, which was my third sister who was the same age as him. But my sister refused because she already had a boyfriend and now the target is me."
Hisao called a few days later to tell him what he knew.
"You haven't known all this time?"
"I know a lot lately not often in Kyoto, even if there are people I meet mostly Grandpa and Second Uncle, especially Grandpa, basically I am now in-charge in Grandpa's main company previously held by Uncle. But Uncle had no successor, his son was female and the smallest man had no interest in continuing the succession. She's an art person, singer and actor like her mother and prefers a career in entertainment."
"Ahh apparently so... Then what are you gonna do." Wasn't I right, Kimiko wasn't an easy person to get rid of.
"I'll ask my Grandfather for support first about our relationship. This weekend I will cancel my show and visit Kyoto. I'll talk to him in person first. Maybe I'll take you for a visit, we really need his help."
"Hisao-san, do you think your grandfather would agree."
"You seem to have forgotten Setsuko-san, my grandfather once had a lover in Gion. I think he's proud of you and likes you. I'll figure out how to talk to him. Take it easy, my mom and dad haven't told me that they're going to make us a match."
Actually I'm scared. I thought our relationship would be just a lover. But Hisao decided something else from the first. So this is the thing I have to face with Hisao.
I keep working as usual. Yamasaki, have I ever had a guest Yamasaki. I remember now. The Yamasaki family also has a home in Kyoto.
"Yamasaki, wait a minute. You had an appointment with Yamasaki once, whether that's what you meant or not, but it was about three years ago."
"Ohh really."
"Ehh wait a minute... I think I have a new schedule. Himeda Yamasaki, he booked you an hour in ochaya this Friday."
"Ohhh? Ordering my schedule? Is that the same person?"
"Ehm." Mr. Himeda Yamasaki is the same person as Kimiko Yamasaki's father. If it's true what he wants.
I feel uncomfortable now. This high-level family politics really worries me, all I do to clients is be friendly, I have no experience how to make trouble or defeat the dominance of others. It's worrisome...
"Himeda Yamasaki would like to see you, he is indeed Kimiko's father hmm. So this is really serious." And I immediately called Hisao-san. I better tell him everything. He knows better what to do.
"I think he'll persuade you to give up subtly. Just let her talk, Setsuko you need to remember you're an honorable woman, don't feel intimidated by anyone's words. Although they are family, you are also a famous woman in Kyoto. No one has the right to put you down."
"Hisao-san, I don't know. Is it true I'm like you said."
