Soon, they arrived at a very nice building, it was the entertainment industry which Mr Sato Watanabe was chairman of.
They got down from the car and headed towards the entrance of the magnificent industry.
On getting inside, Akira couldn't be more fascinated by what she saw. Several actors and actresses, all going about their businesses.
Some actually stood, just chit chatting with each other. Her eyes scanned the surrounding and didn't notice when a lady walked up to them.
"Welcome Mr Watanabe awaits you in his second office," she announced with a bow and then flashed her well propped up smile at the two gentlemen and Akira.
She wore a receptionist outfit, a white long sleeved shirt tuck-in in a black straight pencil skirt with a suit jacket on top. She had her hell tied up into a bun, her face looked shy and at the same time bold when she spoke.

"Okay, we would head there right away," the first man replied.
She stepped aside and watched them head towards the elevator, before getting back to her duties.
Soon, they were at the the 40th floor. The elevator opened and they stepped out. Within a couple minutes she found herself standing outside a big door.
The men opened it and stepped aside to let her in, then followed behind and closed the door.
The office was quite big, it looked like three big master's bedroom combined. There was a parlor at the side of the big office, it had three small cushion and another long one.
There was a fridge, table and two chairs like a mini dinning. At the corner was a slab, with a coffee machine and a small microwave. In fact he had almost everything in his office, making Akira wonder if this man was here to work or enjoy life.
A handsome middle aged man sat on his chair in front of his laptop as he typed away. His hair fell messily on his face, but he paid no heed, too worried with what was before him.
AHEM!!
One of the men cleared his throat. It was at that moment Mr Sato realized someone, no people had entered his office.
"Sir, we've brought the Young Miss."
He moved his gaze from his work and looked up, as soon as he set eyes on Akira, his face lit up with a smile.
"Ahh! You've arrived. Welcome dear."
"Good afternoon sir," she greeted him and bowed her head.
"Good afternoon, please do have your seat," he said, gesturing with his hands towards the chairs in front of his desk.
"Thank you sir."
She made her way to one of the chairs, removed her bag and sat down, placing it on her lap.
He signaled for his men to excuse them. "Ohh let my P. A know to prepare for the meeting with Mr Nao. We leave in ten," he said to his men.
As soon as they left his gaze went back to the young lady in front of him.
"Now, where were we?" He looked at her with arched brows.
Akira stared blankly at him, where were they? They were nowhere. She just arrived. She felt somewhat strange at the look he gave her.
"Why is he arching his brows at me? For crying out loud he sent for me. I should be the one asking or arching my brows at him. Yeah that reminds me, why aren't I?" She thought.
Ahem!!
Breaking the silence, she cleared her throat and spoke. "Sir, I believe you have something to tell me, that's why you summoned me here?"
"Oh yes!" He used his middle finger to tap the air as if he just recalled something. "Well you see, it was nothing much. I just wanted to ask you how you were feeling!"

What did this man take her for? He made her leave school, Lucy, work for this? He must be joking.
"Is this man kidding me? I have work to be at in the next five minutes and he can't even figure out why he sent for me?" God help me," she mentally face palmed herself.
"Sir, that's it?" She asked him.
"Well yes and... "
"Finally, spit it out," she thought.
"Well, I wanted to know how your first day at school was and how the students have been treating you," he confessed.
