After Taki left, Akime and her father went to study. After entering they both get seated on the sofa located.
"Akime, we have found who is the culprit behind this" her father says while looking at the documents
She blinks upon hearing what her father said: "Who is it, Dad?"
"They said it's one of our company directors but I don't believe it and I have asked Alpha to investigate it thoroughly" he answers calmly for which she nods
"Akime, I advise you to be careful next time. l know you're strong enough to protect yourself and others but still be more careful" he gives a worried expression
"Dad, It's partially my fault as well, I had a feeling someone is following us and something wrong is going to happen but still I just let it aside. I'm sorry, I'll try to be more careful next time" Akime bows her head in apology
"Please don't apologize, Akime. It's not your fault and if it weren't for you we don't know what would have happened to Taki" he sighs
"But still Da-" he cuts her off in the middle "Since no one is injured; let it aside, okay?" he smiles at her
she nods "Okay, Dad"
"And I forgot to mention, you're going to accompany me to the office tomorrow," he tells her calmly
Her eyes get widen "Me? To the office? But why now, Dad?" she questions pointing at herself
"Because I want to let those guys know what my daughter is capable of" he smiles at her
"But.." she groans and nods "Fine.."
"You should go to sleep now, Good night" he greets her and leaves for his room
"Good night, Dad" she greets back and goes to her room, after entering she took a bath and gets herself changed into pajamas, and falls onto her bed thinking about what her father said while sighing 'I seriously don't want to go' and she hears a knock at her door 'hm, who could it be at this point of time?' she shrugs off the question and opens the door to find Taki in his pajamas and holding a pillow in hand
"Sister, Can I sleep beside you tonight?" he says while rubbing his eyes, and Akime chuckles after hearing this "Scared of sleeping alone?" she teases him
"W-Who.. said I'm scared, I just want to sleep with you since it's been a long time.." Taki replies while avoiding her eyes
"Alright, I believe you. Please come in" Akime move aside to let himself in and both of them had a good sleep together after a long period of time.
____________________________________________
The sun came up while bringing the rays of hope as well as telling the world to wake up since it's a new day, Akime gets up first as well as wakes up Taki to get himself dressed to get ready for school and after getting herself dressed casually she goes down to have breakfast.
After entering the dining hall, she greets her father and brother who were present before getting herself seated beside them and the family of three had their breakfast. After they finished eating, Taki left for school while Akime went along with her father to go to Akiyama Corp (which is their company name)
Akiyama Corp is a multinational conglomerate company, it owns businesses and branches across the world engaged in energy, petrochemicals, textiles, natural resources, retail, financial, real estate, airlines, automobile, telecommunications, etc. It gained international recognition after purchasing several global companies and it stands as one of the largest conglomerates in Country K.
It is one of the biggest and oldest industrial groups in the country which was founded by Akime's Great-Grandfather and fully owned by Akiyama family. The Akiyama family has a century-old history and holds great power and recognition in all aspects of the country, it's one of the main reasons why their lives are always in danger and Akime's Father gets worried easily since those two are the only ones who are left for him now.
Akime's Father whose full name is Keichi Akiyama has taken his current position as a company chairman when he was in his twenties and expanded it further. One of its main branches is located in the capital in the center of the city and it takes an hour to reach Akiyama Estate.
After an hour their car comes to stop at the entry gate of the main building and both the father and daughter get down from the car and get greeted by the bodyguards who are standing nearby, they both nod at them before entering. After entering the building they directly went to the conference hall in which all board of directors, as well as vice-chairman, are present because chairman's secretary has asked them for an immediate audience for an immediate announcement, upon their arrival all the people present stood up to give a quick bow as a greeting gesture for which Keichi nods and gets himself seated on his seat which is present at the center and asks Akime to the seat next to him.
"I believe you already know that I asked you all to gather to make an important announcement" Keichi speaks for which all people who are present nods
"The announcement is, I'm making my eldest daughter who is the only Miss of Akiyama family as my heir apparent.." at this statement the people present started whispering to each other
"A girl?"
"What is chairman thinking?"
"Is she capable enough to handle such a big role?"
"I heard she's just seventeen"
upon hearing their whispers, Keichi adds in "..and if you guys have any objections you can raise here itself" he gives them a cold glare daring them to oppose for which they shuddered and shook their heads
"How can we have any objections, Mr. Chariman?" one of the directors says
"We all are in line with your decision" other adds in
"Yes and we believe as she's your blood she'll be as great as you" another tries to bootlick
"We believe in your decision," another says for which all nod in union
"Well then since it's been settled you guys can leave" Keichi gestures them to leave but before they could leave the hall he adds in "I forgot to inform, I'll be hosting a party next week to make an official statement and you all will get a formal invitation about it" indirectly telling them, they must attend at any cost, all the people nodded for their chairman's words before leaving.
