Chapter 222
Seeing the Young Lady say she was going to settle the score with Mineo, Hisako was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Young Lady was even going as far as canceling a request just to teach that arrogant man a lesson—this time, Mineo would surely receive a very painful awakening!
Thinking of this, Hisako's face began to show a sense of anticipation.
Looking at Erina, she said:
"In that case, I will take care of the request matter immediately!"
"Young Lady, do you need me to accompany you to Mineo's place tonight?"
"No... No need! I'll go alone... to settle it! Don't worry, Hisako, that man wouldn't dare do anything excessive in front of me! This time I'll give him a harsh lesson to vent your frustrations!"
Time passed in a flash until evening.
At six o'clock, after Erina finished the work at hand, she stood up from her seat!
"Hisako, if there's nothing else, I'm heading out first!"
"If your work is done, go home and get some rest early!"
"Young Lady, are you going to Takamine's place now?"
"Yes! I'll let Grandfather know beforehand!"
After parting with Hisako, Erina walked out of the office door. Her legs, clad in knee-high black socks and small leather shoes, tapped across the floor step by step.
Soon her figure left the office building and she got into the private car that had been waiting at the door for a long time!
"To Mineo's restaurant!"
After telling the driver her destination, Erina leaned back in the rear seat and looked out the window.
The female driver started the vehicle and, with great familiarity, headed toward the direction of Mineo's restaurant.
Just as Erina was departing for the restaurant, Mineo was lying on his restaurant sofa, chatting with Utaha.
Utaha: "Mineo-kun!"
"Tomorrow morning, could you come over to my place for a bit?"
Mineo: "What is it? Is there something happening tomorrow morning?"
Utaha: "If there's nothing happening, I'm not allowed to look for you? Surely Mineo-kun hasn't forgotten an old flame just because he has someone new, right?"
"It's only been a short while and you already don't want to see me?"
Mineo: "False accusations! When have I ever had a thought like that? I was just asking... I'll definitely come tomorrow morning! Promising a date with you is what I look forward to most!"
Utaha: "I'd be a fool to believe that! All day you only think about building a harem. If I didn't actively seek you out, it's highly doubtful you'd even remember me!"
Mineo: "Even if I forget myself, there's no way I could forget you, Utaha! After all, you're the one who took my 'first time,' aren't you..."
Seeing the message Mineo sent, Utaha, who was leaning against her headboard, showed an alluring flush on her face.
She gritted her teeth and typed quickly on her phone.
"To be able to say something like that... Mineo-kun is just as shameless as ever!"
He clearly took her 'first time' himself, yet he had the nerve to say she was the one who took advantage of him—how could this bastard make someone want to kick him so badly!
Utaha dared to guarantee that if this bastard Mineo were in front of her right now, she would definitely put on sharp high heels and give him a hard kick!
If this jerk wasn't taught a proper lesson, he'd really think this Lady didn't have a temper!
Utaha truly lived up to her reputation as a writer; even while she was scolding Mineo, her choice of words remained beautiful and captivating.
After trading jabs for a few rounds, Utaha had no intention of letting Mineo continue teasing her.
Holding her phone, Utaha typed directly to discuss serious business.
"Mineo-kun, tomorrow morning is the launch day of my new book. The publisher has arranged an interview and an on-site signing event!"
"I want you to accompany me!"
To a writer, the work they create is like their own child.
And the work under Utaha's pen was created by her and Mineo together!
So, sometimes Utaha would think—if her work was a child, then Mineo was the father!
Whenever she thought of this explanation, Utaha's face would turn slightly red. At that moment, Mineo also sent a reply.
"A signing event, huh?"
"No problem, I'll pick you up at your house tomorrow morning!"
"After the signing event is over, let's the two of us go on a proper date!"
"I'll prepare a great gift for my dear Utaha!"
Just as Mineo and Utaha finished chatting, the large doors of his restaurant were pushed open with a thud!
Erina was seen stepping inside with the air of a high-born Young Lady!
Her small leather shoes clicked against the floor, letting out a crisp and melodic sound. When she saw this man named Mineo lying on the sofa in a relaxed, disrespectful posture like the 'Ge You Tang' style.
Erina came to a halt.
Crossing her arms, Erina's entire body radiated a cold aura.
Staring at Mineo frostily, Erina spoke in a somewhat stiff tone:
"Today, you teased my secretary!?"
"Teased your secretary? Not at all! Erina, you must have misunderstood something... How could a good guy like me go around teasing other people, right?"
Hearing Mineo's words, the cold smile gracing the corners of Erina's lips became even more pronounced.
"I trust Hisako wouldn't lie to me!"
"Furthermore, I trust even more that my judgment of Mineo-kun wouldn't be wrong!"
"With your character, Mineo-kun, doing something like teasing Hisako is very much a possibility!"
"My secretary... is she pretty? Do you find her very soft, making Mineo-kun like her very much!?"
"Do I need to help set you two up? If I provide some assistance from the sidelines to help you get Hisako, it should be very easy for you, shouldn't it?"
A woman's words should always be listened to in reverse. Seeing Erina acting so coldly, Mineo's scalp began to feel a bit numb.
Hisako, that little girl... how did she learn how to tattle?
