Chapter 20 - L'arrivée

I'm in a jet for the first time which was a terrible feeling for me especially after leaving chikashi tear like that However, opening up to him wasn't the worse of it. As I'm looking around a bit I focus on a woman that is sitting across from me who was also going where I was apparently said by the pilot before taking off, said she has business with my boss " Can I help you?" The lady catches me off guard " Ah, no..I was just thinking. I apologize!" I feel incredibly embarrassed while the woman seemed to smirk at the situation " So you were thinking about me?" I flinch at her words which just make her chuckle " I'm joking! My name is Mariette castrolla." Mariette reaches out to shake my hand that I happily accept " Nice to meet you. My name is hana kiyabu. " She smiles a bit before setting her papers down " So what business do you have with elodie?" I frown hearing elodie's name and remembering why I'm going to be working again " Well she offered me to write an article about a famous chef with a Interesting backround supposedly. I accepted the offer and here I am now, on my way to start the job." She nods her head " sounds like her offering jobs to random people." I shake my head for her misunderstanding " No, I used to work for her in the past..but I left later after that for some personal issues. But enough about me what business do you have with elodie?" Mariette twirls a piece of her hair with a smirk " I'm her girlfriend which means I can see her whenever!" I smile while clapping my hands happy for her relationship with elodie " Oh congratulations! So your technically going to spend some lovey dovey time with her!" Mariette frowns while crossing her arms " Nuh-uh. SADLY, I am not only there for that, we indeed have business to attend to that doesn't concern you." I nod my head in understanding while before talking some more with mariette. As time flew by we were already in france waiting for the pilot to stop the jet " Alright ladies gather your belongings before you go." We do as we were told,making sure none of our stuff was scattered or missing before getting up to leave " Thank you sir!" The pilot tips his hat before turning away " Hana over here!!" Mariette yells to me while she has already gotten a taxi waiting for me to get in with her. " Thank you for sharing a taxi with me." Mariette happily nods as she gives the taxi driver directions. As soon as we are away from the airport I immediately begin to text gen that I've arrived in france which he replies with a thumbs up and kissy face "Your boyfriend?" I look over to mariette who was looking over my shoulder " Uhm..yes." I look back down at my phone to text gen some more " Nous sommes ici" All of a sudden the driver comes to a stop " Uhm what did he say?" Mariette chuckles and points out to my bosses building " oh Thanks mister!" I hop out of the car grabbing my suitcase from the back of the taxi. When I walk in the building there are many people walking around busily " OMG HANA IS THAT YOU!?" Elodie runs over to me excited " Nice to see you too elodie when do I meet the chef?"Elodie frowns at the unexpected words I've said to her " No 'I miss you elodie' mm it's nothing to worry about. Anyway please visit my office I've got some business to discuss with you." I nod walking side by side with elodie "Now." When I get to the office I set my suitcase next to a chair I was sitting by listening to elodie speak " Chef nathan should be in paris to take photos for a magazine tomorrow. That means you should get some info from him you know ask him questions about his past." I Rub my eyebrows in disbelief which makes her irritated " Listen you took the job s-" I hold up my hand for her to take the hint that she needed to hear me out " I know I took this job however, there are better ways of asking him questions without being nosy or rude." Elodie nods her head in understanding " I agree. It's just been a hard time without you..I MEAN FREAKING CARL WON'T STOP WATCHING ANIME ON THE JOB! CARL STOP IT!" I laugh at elodie for still being her same self since I've left " It's good to be back elodie." Elodie smiles at me before excusing me to get a hotel around in paris. When I worked here back when I was 19 It was a great experience but now..It feels kind of lonely. Anyway I shouldn't waste any time on my thoughts I should at least find a nice hotel to stay at maybe somewhere to eat.. " This looks good" I stop by shangri-la hotel because it had a nice view of the Eiffel tower " Hello I'd like a room!" When I finished getting my room I immediately took stuff out of my suitcase throwing them on the floor then plopping on the bed afterwards due to this whole job offering. " Maybe I can go to the Patchanka to eat some food...It was said to be famous." I decide to put on a regular white t-shirt with blue pants, White sneakers, a gray hat, with my hair in a ponytail. On my way over to patchanka I end up of course buying souvenirs at a shop near by " Thank you!" I love their ascents and language it's just beautiful. When I walk up to patchanka about to enter I bump into a person twice the size of me who had a hard chest " Ow.." I touch my head before looking upward to a young man my age but with a cold look " Watch where your going. I don't have any time to stop and sign fans magazine." Confused and upset I get up " What are you even talking about!?" The young man scoffs towards me " Don't act dumb and get lost." I stay my place with my arms folded " Ugh, Fine let me see your arm!" The man grabs my arm tightly while holding a sharpie signing his name nathan which rings a bell " YOUR THE CHEF!?"
