"Ms. Suzuka, do you have time?"
Suzuka couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw the man in front of her.
"Umm … Mr. Kono, what's the matter?"
"It's like this. If you have time, I'd like to invite you to the next Christmas party … Ah, don't be nervous, it's just a small party."
"No, this … I … But …"
Suzuka looked around anxiously, hoping to find someone to save her. But she couldn't find anyone she could rely on. Morikawa Yuki was still abroad, and the girls in the same office hurriedly turned and left when they saw Suzuka looking at them. Fuuma and the others were not around either. This made Suzuka feel isolated and helpless.
"Umm …"
"Is there a problem?"
Although the man in front of her was still smiling, Suzuka could hear the impatience in his words.
"No, that, I …"
Suzuka hesitated for a moment, but eventually lowered her head.
"I'm very sorry, I've already …"
However, before Xue Cai could finish her sentence, her producer suddenly stepped forward and pressed on Xue Cai's shoulder to stop her from speaking.
"Go, Suzuka."
"Huh? But … "
"I'll be in charge of the office. Don't worry."
As he spoke, the producer pushed the pickled vegetables over.
"Well then, Mr. Kono, I'll leave Suzuka in your care."
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."
Kono revealed a meaningful smile when he heard the producer's words. Suzuka was even more frightened when she saw the smile. However, she didn't know what to do with the producer's sudden betrayal. She stood there stiffly, like a doll at the mercy of others.
"I'll go change my clothes. Ms. Suzuka, wait for me at the door."
"No problem."
As he spoke, the producer took Xue Cai's hand and brought her to the entrance. Suzuka finally came back to her senses and glared at the producer angrily.
"Ms. Yamamoto! How can you do this?! "
"I just want you to accompany Mr. Kono to the party. Is there a problem?"
However, her producer didn't seem to take Suzuka's words to heart.
"I'm going back!"
This time, Takecai finally couldn't take it anymore. She turned around and wanted to leave, but she was grabbed by Miss Yamamoto.
"Do you know what will happen if you do this? Pickled vegetables? "
"At most, I'll be fired from the firm! I quit, okay?! "
Xue Cai could endure the arduous training, the busy schedule, and the tiring interaction with other people. However, when she saw that her producer was about to "sell" her to others, Xue Cai could no longer endure it. However, Producer Yamamoto stared at Makoto Yamamoto and waited for her to vent her anger before he continued.
"Fired? Do you think the firm will fire you so easily? Don't forget that when you signed the contract, the firm set a high penalty for breach of contract. "
"…"
Upon hearing the words' breach of contract ', Xue Cai's anger seemed to have been splashed with a pail of cold water, and she immediately sobered up.
"I … I don't have that much money."
"I think so, but Miss Xue Cai's guardians are your parents, right? If you can't afford it, your parents will have to compensate you."
"But … but my parents can't afford it either …"
"Then the firm will have no choice but to sue you in court. In the worst case scenario, your family's financial resources will be frozen, and even your house will be mortgaged."
"How can that be …"
Hearing this, Xue Cai was dumbfounded. After all, she was still a high school student. Things like courts and lawsuits were too far away for Xue Cai. But even so, she knew that if the situation was as Miss Yamamoto said, it would be the same as her family being kicked out of the house and living a homeless life.
No, her father might even resign.
Although Xue Cai didn't know about the court or the trial, she knew that if her father was sued, the company would definitely fire him to avoid trouble for the company. If that really happened …
Xue Cai was not an only child. She had siblings. When that happened, it wouldn't just affect Xue Cai and her parents.
"…"
Thinking of this, Xue Cai finally stopped talking and lowered her head.
"I'll stay here with you and wait for Mr. Kono to come out."
Seeing Xue Cai obediently raise her hands to surrender, Producer Yamamoto showed a smug smile on his face and stood beside Xue Cai.
In the changing room, Kono was humming a song while tidying up his appearance with a smug look on his face.
He wasn't worried about Xue Cai at all. A woman of this level was a piece of cake for him. He was the son of the president of a big company, and he was now a star idol. No woman would be stupid enough to refuse him. But he still hoped that the woman would be more obedient. Although crying women were interesting, he would get bored if there were too many of them. If she was like a dead pig in bed, it wouldn't be fun at all.
But he had his own ways to have fun.
Thinking of the party that was going to be held next, the corners of Kono's mouth curled up into a smug smile.
However, when he got dressed and left the lounge, he found Xue Cai standing outside his door, waiting for him.
"Oh? Miss Xue Cai, you're here? "
"Yes, yes, Mr. Kono."
Compared to before, Xue Cai looked quite docile and cute. Although she was still a little shy, she looked more lovable.
"I … I don't want you to wait for me …"
"There's nothing wrong with that. I'm a man, after all."
Kono looked at Xue Cai with a smile. Compared to a willful woman, an obedient woman was more interesting. He wanted to see what kind of expression this woman would have after the party.
It would be very interesting.
"Let's go then."
"Ah …"
However, just as Kono was about to leave, Xue Cai suddenly called out softly and grabbed his sleeve.
"Um … Mr. Kono?"
"Hmm? What's wrong? "
"Can we go through the back door? Um … I'm a little embarrassed … "
Ah … Because there might be reporters lying in ambush at the front door? What an interesting woman.
Kono was amused to see the uneasy Xue Cai in front of him. He was surrounded by many women who flattered him for the sake of their future, so he was quite interested in a pure and cute girl like Xue Cai. Although Kono was a little unhappy that she wanted to refuse his invitation, her current appearance was quite interesting.
"Then let's go through the back door."
Thinking of this, Kono made a decision. He quietly slipped away from the back door with Xue Cai, went to the parking lot, and drove away.
The red sports car roared across the street and stopped.
"Is this the place?"
"That's right."
Kono chuckled when he saw the surprised expression on the girl's face. This was normal, because the venue of the party was not some elegant banquet hall, but an underground rock bar. Xue Cai, who looked like an obedient girl, should have never been to such a place before.
"Alright, let's go in. My friends are also looking forward to seeing you."
Kono pushed the girl in front of him into the bar as he spoke.
The cold wind outside was biting cold, whistling through the deserted streets.
"Achoo!"
Xue Cai shivered and curled up her body. She looked at the producer beside her. It had been almost half an hour since Kono left. Although she had lost all hope, … the physical cold was not so easy to resist.
"… Miss Yamamoto, how long do we have to wait here?"
"… Let's wait a little longer."
Xue Cai was still wearing a coat, but Producer Yamamoto was shivering from the cold.
"Maybe Mr. Kono is greeting someone and will be here soon …"
Although she really wanted to go in and take a look, she thought that if she was not there, Xue Cai might just turn around and slip away, so she decided to stay here and keep watch.
It shouldn't take too long.
