———AKI'S PERSPECTIVE———
(In Japanese)
"Setsui-sama, are you ready?", Butler Tanaka called out from the entrance way.
Oh Tanaka-san is here already.
Setsui-san stood up from the dining chair and adjusted his suit before making his way to the door to let Tanaka-san enter.
"Ah Setsui-sama! Shall we be on our way then?"
"Um, Tanaka-san, we may be having an extra company today."
"Who may that be sir?"
He stood to the side and opened a path for the personal butler to see me.
"Her.", he said.
"I see you had a guest over young master, was I interrupting something?", Tanaka-san asked while avoiding eye-contact with Setsui-san.
"No you weren't Tanaka-san, we were just having breakfast, but we are done so we should make our way out now shall we?"
He turned his head back in my direction and waited for my approval to go.
I immediately stood up, "oh yes of course, yeah let's go."
Setsui-san smiled and left the apartment first, with Tanaka-san holding the door for him. I walked up to the personal butler and bowed down to him, (In Japanese) "Hello, I am Aki Syan."
"Ah. You were that girl from yesterday right?"
"Yes. Please treat me well.", I replied, bowing again.
"Please treat me well too.", Tanaka-san said.
He held the door for me too and I thank him as I exited the house. We got inside the newest limited edition Mercedes Benz vehicle, the MBL Mercedes Benz Light. And I sat on the seat at back of the car with Setsui-san while Tanaka-san drove in the front.
"So Setsui-sama, where are we headed for?"
"Bring us to the GrandX Mall."
GRANDX MALL?? The biggest and most expensive shopping mall in the whole of Japan?! Only celebrities and extremely rich people go there! Why is he bringing me there for?
He turned to look at my face and gave me a bright smile, and I returned him a face that read: What in the world is going on in your head?! Why are you taking me along???
He just laughed softly, shook his head and leaned his face onto his hand which was resting on the armrest, and looked out the window.
Wow... his side-profile looks so good too. His jaw looked so sharp and snatched like it could cut my skin if I tried to touch it. I hadn't noticed this before, but his eyelashes were REALLY long, it seemed as if he was wearing mascara and fake eyelashes, but it was just naturally that dark and curly. ALSO the quality of his skin was so exquisitely clear, there were no pimples or scars or blackheads, just totally clean.
I sighed...
(In English)
"Why the long face?", he asked.
"BECAUSE YOU— You... you..."
"I?????"
"You are so generously kind and caring towards such an average girl like me whom you have just met.", I said in a panic.
I almost said, "BECAUSE YOU ARE SO FREAKIN HANDSOME AND ITS NOT FAIR THAT YOU NATURALLY HAVE GOOD LOOKS AND HAVE BETTER FEATURES THAN MOST LADIES OUT THERE WHO ACTUALLY TRY SO HARD TO LOOK THAT GOOD ON A DAILY BASIS!"
I sighed again in my head and forced a smile at him, then I turned my head to not look at his face and just stared out the window to see the city streets and rushing people. Another weekday in Tokyo. People walking quickly to catch the trains in order to get to work, others just running around to do errands for their jobs, and of course, many tourists traveling here and there for a holiday. It's never peaceful in the streets of Tokyo.
The car suddenly right turned into a massive building and headed upwards into the carpark area. Tanaka-san reversed the car into a garage-looking place and a door started to close in front of us.
What was happening??
I looked through the window and saw numbers at the side of the door.
1...2...3...4...
Was this an ELEVATOR FOR CARS?!!!
Oh my goddddd!!
Are you kidding me??? In a mall?!!!
Wow... there were so many levels in this mall... 11? 14? No 15??? I lost count. We just kept going up higher and higher until we reached the top deck of the building. The elevator door opened and a sign said: VIP PARKING LOT
I couldn't believe it, there were private sections IN the parking lot for different people to park their car.
And REALLY? Are you seriously kidding me? This "private parking spot" for an individual person could fit 3 cars!
"Why would one person need a space this big that could probably fit 3 cars???", I questioned.
"That is because most people who come here come with their bodyguards and butlers or maids who uses separate cars.", Tanaka-san answered, enlightening me with the knowledge of "the life of a rich person".
I stared at the Butler's face, blinked once, stared at the other parking spaces with 2-3 cars each in private section, blinked again and said with one eye twitching, "Right..."
Sorry, I forgot where I was for a second. I was at the pinnacle of RICH PEOPLE LAND. Forget about the school's built-in mall! The fact that the PARKING LOT had A SEPARATE PARKING LOT with SECTIONED OFF parking spaces for VIPs, was already good enough to prove that this place was somewhere normal people like ME should never ever even TRY to enter.
Setsui-san opened the door at my side of the car and extended out a hand while saying, "Shall we (go)?"
I accepted his kind gesture and got out of the car. We walked inside the mall and took the elevator meant specially for VIPs and head down to the 7th floor.
My eyeballs almost shot right out of my head. This shopping mall had 18 stories! How many shops were there?! Did one Gucci shop take up like one whole level????
We got off on the 7th floor and I ran to the railings where I could see the other levels of the mall and goshes I was actually right. One Gucci Shop and took up one WHOLE FLOOR.
I was absolutely speechless...
What can I say at this point?
I shouldn't even be surprised anymore... this was like a godlike level of HIGH CLASS.
"Be careful not to fall off.", Setsui-san said suddenly right behind me.
"Ah!", I covered my mouth in shock, almost had a heart attack...
"Don't scare me like that. Haha", I laughed while lightly hitting his shoulder. We then shared a good laugh for about 30 seconds before I turned to see Tanaka-san, whose eyes were wide open and face that was clearly surprised. Did something happen???
"Anyways, Syan-san. Let's head inside the store.", Setsui-san said.
I nodded and followed him inside a beautifully designed boutique with ceilings decorated with dangling crystals that made it look like rain falling.
A very aesthetic place I would say.
Setsui-san started talking to one of the workers and I found myself wandering around the huge shop. This one boutique took up an entire level too. There were many different sections with different variations and styles of dresses.
Some were vintage-style, some were Victorian-style, there were modern fashion dresses too and all of them were hand-made and hand-stitched outfits.
(In Japanese)
"Oh, I'm so sorry.", I apologized as I had accidentally bumped into someone and made them drop their handbag.
I looked up to see who I had bumped into and all I saw was icy cold eyes. The young lady that I had collided with by accident shot daggers at me. She looked absolutely furious at the slight hit.
I bowed and walked away, but as I was walking away, she extended her leg and caused me to fall on the ground.
"Oops. I'm sorry," the lady said sarcastically, "I mean you deserved it, do you know how much my handbag costs? It's a Birkin, B I R K I N. Would you be able to pay for the damage of my bag if something broke? "
I rolled my eyes at her, didn't feel like arguing with some petty lady so I just stood up and left.
Ack... that hurts...
