Chapter 521 - 337 Aunt of a Friend
Chiba Shimizu was never given the opportunity to choose.
If I wasn't there, she would just keep waiting.
Originally, the plan today was to go to the café to help out together.
But because of this presumptuous guy, she had to change her plans again.
Sister Reiko and the others went to work at the café, and I could only stay in the villa, waiting for this guy.
"Miss Shimizu, Miss Seiryu missed you too, so she just..."
Seeing this, Hanai Ishishu hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
Whenever the two young ladies met, it was always most tiring for her, the butler....
Miss Seiryu, really, even though she actually couldn't be without Miss Shimizu, still stubbornly claimed that it was the other way around.
No matter how you look at it, you are the one who can't let go, right!!
The harder the master is, the more we servants suffer...
Chiba Shimizu, however, didn't continue to make things difficult for this diligent butler and merely glanced lightly at Chiba Seiryo:
"What brings you to see me today?"
"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Chiba Seiryo responded.
"Miss just missed you, so she passed by today to check on you." Hanai Ishishu translated.
"Presumptuous guy, didn't you consider whether I had time today? You always impose your own schedule on others." Chiba Shimizu questioned.
"Why wouldn't I have time? What can I do in this place? What do you mean by presumptuous? Can't you show a little respect, Sister?" Chiba Seiryo replied.
"What the Miss means is: she's doing this for your sake, hoping you'll understand her. She had a whole day's meeting scheduled today, but Miss Seiryo pushed her work aside just to see you."
Hanai Ishishu translated...
"What now, you're going to blame me for that?"
Chiba Shimizu frowned slightly, "If you want to work, I won't stop you, and besides, I had my own things to do today..."
"Is this how you treat a guest, Chiba Shimizu? Making your guest talk on the sidewalk?"
Chiba Seiryo was also unhappy.
Why can my sister never understand what's in my heart?
And ... even though what I wanted to say was not this, somehow, when the words reached my mouth, they just automatically changed...
This made the elder sister quite distressed.
She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how.
Chiba Shimizu said nothing, instead turning her gaze to Hanai Ishishu by her side.
The butler was sweating a bit, caught between the two young ladies, truly uncomfortable!!
At this moment! How she wished for the figure of that boy to be by her side...
Mr. Haruka, where are you? I miss you so much!!
The two of them should be able to communicate directly, both speaking Japanese, yet I have to translate...
After some thought, Hanai Ishishu continued:
"Miss Seiryu means, she's thirsty and would like to go in for a drink of water. She's been busy with the company's affairs without rest since this morning..."
Chiba Seiryo huffed softly but didn't contradict.
Chiba Shimizu glanced at her, and eventually nodded, "Come inside with me..."
......
"Achoo!"
"I wonder who is thinking of me."
Inside the café.
Haruka Yuzan rubbed his nose, feeling somewhat strange.
"Mr. Haruka, you haven't caught a cold, have you?"
Reiko Onodera, who was carefully tabulating the profits, asked with concern.
Last night.
The three of them played late into the night, but as Haruka Yuzan was alone, it's inevitable that he'd overexert himself.
And with the air conditioning on in the room, it was indeed very easy to catch a cold.
"I shouldn't have."
Haruka Yuzan felt strange too, as his Physical Strength Level that was as high as eight points, although it wouldn't make him immune to all diseases, wouldn't normally allow him to catch a cold.
Even having consumed the "Mother and Daughter Cake" last night should not have exhausted him.
He was more inclined to think that someone was missing him.
"Well, if you do feel uncomfortable, you can go to the staff rest room to rest for a while."
Reiko Onodera was still worried and after some thought, poured a cup of hot water for the young man.
"Okay, Sister Yukixi, stop teasing her," said a gentle voice from behind the two of them, as comforting as the breeze of March.
"B, boss."
Hearing that voice, Ebiina... no, Yaguchi Risa quickly turned around and began bowing nonstop to the approaching young man.
Her full chest swung in the air, like two large water balloons, very eye-catching.
"Alright, Risa, go back to your work; I'll take care of this,"
Haruka Yuzan said, smiling and nodding his head.
He quite liked this young girl.
Although a bit stuttering, she was honest, hardworking, and capable; during the time when his group went to the countryside, the café was basically left for Yaguchi Risa to manage.
He often saw via the monitor how the girl worked overtime alone until very late.
The café's after-hours workload was no less than during the day.
Every time after work, she would check for shortages of materials, the day's income and expenses, and surveys about customer feedback.
The girl had done very well during that time.
Chiba Shimizu had already started planning to prepare for opening a branch, and "in the future", if possible, Yaguchi Risa would be a candidate for the new store manager.
"Okay, okay boss."
Yaguchi Risa nodded her head like a pecking chicken and left.
There were still many things to do in the hall; she needed to help.
An employee who sees work is a good one; Haruka Yuzan nodded with satisfaction.
"Mr. Haruka, your little employee is pretty good."
Mrs. Harada Yukie pursed her lips and chuckled lightly, her eyes filled with playfulness as she looked at the young man.
"Risa is a good kid,"
Haruka Yuzan said with a smile, "What brings Sister Yukixi to my place today?"
"Hmph, if I don't come looking for you, would you not even want to see me?"
Mrs. Harada Yukie snorted, clearly dissatisfied with the performance of the handsome young Haruka Yuzan.
"It's not like that, I just know Sister Yukixi is busy. I didn't want to disturb you."
Haruka Yuzan, thick-skinned, was not at all affected by the lady's criticism and kept inviting Mrs. Harada Yukie inside with a smile.
"Hmph! When have I ever been busy? I think someone has had too many beauties around and has forgotten about me..."
Mrs. Harada Yukie pouted, but she didn't continue to pursue the matter with Haruka Yuzan.
"Don't tease me, Sister Yukixi,"
Haruka Yuzan was a bit sweaty.
He had mixed feelings about his friend's aunt.
For one, Mrs. Harada Yukie really had helped him a lot, whether it was his previous part-time job or helping Hoshina's mother find a house.
The lady had exerted a lot of effort.
The intertwined threads between the two were a bit too much; it was unrealistic to avoid them.
Moreover, he... had once cocooned with her in the car.
But, she was the aunt of a good friend.
Every time he saw Heisuke, Haruka Yuzan felt odd inside.
Especially since that guy loves talking about his aunt... can I say: please call me Uncle?
It's a relationship that's both indissoluble and complicated.
.......
"This café you've opened is pretty nice."
Mrs. Harada Yukie finally had the time to take a good look around the coffee shop.
The interior decoration was low-key yet hinted at a touch of fashion, and the warm colors made one involuntarily relax.
Everything, just right.
"Yeah, I think so too, so Sister Yukixi, are you interested in getting a membership card? It would be a way to support my business."
Haruka Yuzan said with a grin.
"You guy."
Mrs. Harada Yukie gave him a white look but still pulled out a card from her LV bag.
Holding it between her fingers, she said with an air of grandeur,
"Charge one million to it for a start."
"Whoa! Sister Yukixi is so generous!"
Haruka Yuzan was taken aback, then cheerfully took the card.
He knew the PIN.
