"Araaaaa!"
Asou Chiaki came bouncing towards her as soon as she walked out of the gates. The cheerful young woman automatically gave Ara a bear hug as soon as she reached her.
"Ah, I'm so glad you're all better now. The last time I saw you, you were still bandaged up all over and was still in a coma," she added woefully as if remembering something sad.
Her brother's secretary was already used to her silence, and so she was not bothered when Ara just smiled shyly at her. Asou ushered her into the waiting car and asked the driver to go.
"I'm so sorry I was not able to come to visit you again at the hospital when you woke up," she apologized, and Ara shook her head.
"It's alright. You had to hold the fort so my brother could stay with me."
Asou Chiaki was OIC while Suzuki Aki was on leave to take care of Ara. It was only natural that she was so busy out of her mind to even find time to sleep much less visit her.
