Sawa pulled herself back together "There is no Rule about using Fake Names. And we Announced that we'll select the best idea. Regardless of Education or Experience. Since Ms. Komura was the one who summited the Idea, there is no problem with her receiving her award. Thus, we will hand out the grand prize." She said as Ando came up to Sawa with a Bouquets of flowers and her certificate.
"Ms. Agano Kiyumi, Real Name Komura Chiho. Your Marketing Idea was selected as the best one. So on behalf of May's Cosmetics we are awarding you with a certificate and 30 million Yen" Sawa handed Chiho her awards. Before backing away to allow the Reporters to question her.
"Congratulations, Ms. Komura. Can you tell us how you feel?"
"I thank everyone at May's cosmetics, for presenting me this opportunity. Years ago, when May's Cosmetics was a little store. I used to come here with my now husband who was my fiancée at the time.
This company hold's a lot of memories from my younger years. I couldn't be more than happy to be working with everyone here."
Sawa was exhausted when she got back to her office, right now Chiho should be signing her employment contract with President Kagiyama.
She signed as she trembled inside 'A nightmare has come to my office.'
President Kagiyama looked at the young women strangely as she doesn't recognize this woman as someone who used to visit his store in those days. But then again, he didn't know Sawa was Sawa until she showed him her picture. But as he thought still how strange.
Plus, Sawa's reaction at the press conference.
"You said you used to visit our store."
"Yes, back then."
"Why did you stop."
Chiho closed her eyes and said, "I Stopped going when my friend…." she paused and began her act for a symphony.
"Your friend What?" Kagiyama asked as his mind was starting to get this strange idea in his head.
"My friend murderer my husband sister…," she said with fake tears in her eyes. "Your little store was her favorite place."
"…" Kagiyama was silent for a while as he started to shiver inside. "Was your friend a little plump…"
"Yes, she was." Chiho frowned somewhat "Did you know her?"
"Somewhat, I had always wondered what happened to her." Kagiyama took a moment to breathe before continuing "But she killed someone."
"Yes, I was the witness in fact." Thinking she got this man's symphony. "
"I haven't seen her since."
"Did she ever have a relationship with your husband?"
"Did you see them together in the store?"
"Yeah, sometimes."
"No, they were never in a relationship" Chiho lied
Kagiyama looked down before looking back at the young women with a smile "Ms. Komura you're done here, I hope it will be a pleasure working with you
"Thank you Sir" Chiho beamed like she caught someone in her trap.
Before leaving the office, Kagiyama raised his phone to his ear.
He knows that its none of his business, he knows that she may not answer his questions, but he couldn't help but want to understand his friend tragic past. That seems to be coming back for her.
"Sawa, I need to talk to you."
Sawa walked into Kagiyama office her cheerful attitude in tow.
"Komura Chiho she was the witness at your trial?" he asked as soon as she walked in making her pause. Before closing the door.
"Yes, she was" Sawa walked and sat in one of the comfortable chairs not too far from his desk, her face became serious.
"And now that very same women is your subordinate."
"Yes, she is" her expression became sadder
"President Komura is he your son's father."
"…" Sawa sucked in her breath before she nodded her head
"Does he know?"
"No, he doesn't" Sawa answered honestly.
"Why?"
"I tried to once I found out, but, that very day he married Chiho."
"…." Kagiyama as he put his hand on his head and rubbed it "Sawa what are you going to do."
"Nothing"
"Nothing?"
"I don't want to do anything."
"Why?"
"I am not the start of a drama that you see on TV. I don't seek revenge I want to live peacefully with my son."
"It doesn't look like life wants to let you have that." He said sadly.
"Then I'll have to try."
"And if trying doesn't work, what will you do?"
Sawa walked back absent-mindedly she returned her bright smile as she watched her two assistants swoon their new colleague.
"Ns. Nishioka, I hope it will be nice working with you from now on." Chiho said brightly, but, Sawa could see the sinister glint the girl's eyes. It right at this moment Sawa this girl was aiming for her position.
Sawa signed in her heart as she shook her hand "Of course."
Komura Chiho walked into the Takata residence, and she was greeted with a wonderful reception.
"How was the award ceremony?" her father, Takata Yoshimatsu asked her.
"It was wonderful, Dad" she responded. Everyone here was wrapped around her little finger, and she loved coming here since her reception at home was cold. "Mom, how have you been?"
"Sweetly, darling" Takata Norrie
"Has Takashi been treating you well?"
"Of course, Father he has." Yoshimastu signed
"What's wrong dear," Norrie asked as her husband expression abruptly changed.
"That girl it seems she got out," he said
"…. We disowned that thing long ago why," Norrie asked
"She got out three years ago."
"Older sister did?"
"She was a model prisoner and on the best behavior. So, they lessened her sentence, and there was another thing."
"What another thing?"
"Rina gave birth in prison."
"What!" Chiho stood up abruptly.
"Dear are you telling me we have a grandchild?"
"Yes, we do."
"Elder Sister, where…Where is she?"
"She had her name changed along with Son's."
"You can't track her Dad."
"No, I can't her records stopped at city hall when she changed her name. I have already sent a private investigator. But they all returned empty handed" Yoshimatsu slipped his Tea. "each one said the same thing, that she didn't want to be found."
"So, you won't be able to find older sister?"
"I can Keep trying but, it seems unless if she wants to appear, she will. But, judging from the last few years, she won't be coming back willingly."
"Dear, who cares she was just some we disowned."
"But that Rina has our only grandchild. And the only possible heir to continue the family line."
"But Chiho-"
"She is infertile… Are you telling me to give the Takata fortune to an adopted child without our blood running through its veins."
"That's not…"
"Norrie, are you not curious at all about our living grandchild."
"…"
Chiho stopped paying attention a long time ago. She was thinking about how Rina gave birth in prison, birth to her husband child. Norrie and Yoshimastu didn't know about the relationship between her husband and Rina. Takashi, if he finds out that Rina had his child, he may leave her. She wouldn't stand for that no. The choice was to find both…No is better this way. After all, Sawa was a quiet person, and she hasn't shown herself in the three years she has been out.
She shouldn't be worried about it.
