I don't even know how I got myself into this situation.
My new team members sat next to me on their knees while we faced Haruto. Haruto was dressed in a blue Yukata which was open as he glared at us.
My team members looked to me with pleading looks. I nodded. Someone has to end the awkward silence. I clenched my fists, that someone has to be me.
"I'm sorry Haruto dear but could you leave and let me talk with my team members."
My team members nodded along as they turned to look at Haruto. Haruto took his cigarette and pounded it into the ashtray next to him. His blue eyes ignited with fire as he icily said.
"Did I give you permission to speak?"
I shut my mouth quickly as my new team members slapped their foreheads. Dr. McKinnon cleared his throat and said.
"Mr. Yamaguchi my team and I have come from a far away place in order to speak to Miss Astrid. I hope that it won't be an inconvenience if we can talk to her privately."
Me and my new team members looked at Dr. McKinnon with expressions of relief. Thank God this man exists. Haruto chuckled before saying.
"I'm glad that a doctor such as yourself had come all this way to meet my wife as she is intelligent. But as I am her husband I believe that it is important for me to be informed before she meets with strangers. Do you think not?"
I slapped my forehead as Quincy did next to me. What a sexist overprotective bastard. I heard Quincy whisper under his breath.
"Bastard."
Dr. McKinnon looked at me and nodded as he turned his face sadly. I opened my mouth. His look clearly meant that "you're on your own kid". I rubbed my face as I looked at Haruto who was lying down with his elbow propped. His black hair was not tied back and rested past his shoulders three inches. To be honest he looked really handsome now. I waved my thoughts away. Now is not the time to admire him. I glared at Haruto. If it wasn't for the fact that my team members were here I would have already slapped the shit out of Haruto's face. Haruto smirked as if he was mocking the fact that I can't hurt him. I quickly flipped him off as he chuckled. Suddenly an unfamiliar voice filled the room.
"Yamaguchi-San. We are here with good intentions. Your father had called for us as he believes that your fiancé is intelligent. We do not usually add members to our team as our work is very advanced and secretive. But due to your father's credentials we have hurried over. Please allow us to simply converse freely with Miss Astrid. If you are suspicious you may stay and listen. I beg you."
I looked at Zhang with my mouth dropped open as true with my team members. Didn't they tell me that Zhang doesn't usually talk? Zhang stood up from his bow and smiled at me. I held my heart as did Quincy, Tariq, and Artemis. For a second It seemed like we had just met Buddha. Tears of joy dropped down my cheeks as I mentally thanked Zhang.
Haruto's melodic laughter filled the room as he sat up. He slapped his knee before wiping his eyes.
"You sir are quite the talker. I am now more concerned that you might even convince my dear wife to run away with you."
Zhang pursed his lips as he looked at me and nodded, sadly turning away. He was telling me that I'm on my own as well! I am seriously about to pull off my fucking weave. Okay that's it. I looked at my new team members and said sweetly.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I would like to invite you to your lodgings as you may be tired after the long trip. I promise to meet with you guys tomorrow to discuss the product. Is that okay?"
As soon as I said that my new team members shot up and went to the door.
"We will see you tomorrow Miss Astrid."
I nodded and waved as they scurried our closing the door behind them. I turned to look at a smiling Haruto.
"Who the fuck do you think you are bitch?"
Haruto's eyes widened for a second before he chuckled.
"Oh? You are quite the actress my dear wife."
I stood up and rolled the sleeves of my pink kimono up to my elbows. I took out a knife that I got from the kitchen and walked up to a worried Haruto.
"What are you doing Astrid dear? We can discuss this. It's true that I've overstepped my boundaries but can't we just talk this out like civil human beings?"
I threw my knife as it landed in between Haruto's legs dangerously close to his heir maker. I leaned in and whispered dangerously in his ear.
"Commit seppuku you fucking bastard."
