"What do you think, honey?" He questioned in a sweet and loving voice. – He's the face of his father company and everyone around him watched his every move. He must be carefully and play his role correctly to let others believe that this marriage was real.

Kotori leaned over and whispered in his ear," Don't you think this a little too much? I mean, the engagement part isn't for a least a few more months." She looked at the merchant uncomfortably and hope that she couldn't be heard.

"It's for the company's image and to get back at people by expressing my commitment towards you to the public – Pick one or do you want me to?" He asked with a charming smile that suddenly made her heart fluttered.

'Please don't—this is just business I mustn't' It bothered her the way her heart reacted and brushed the feelings to the side that had.' I must keep the relationship platonic and not act upon them.'

She spoke indecisive about the options in front of her," You can choose, I don't really care—I'm going look around." She answered then got up from the couch and looked at the selection of necklaces. It had many beautiful and expensive jewelry.

There were one piece that caught her eyes and cost way out of her budget $250,000

The chauffeur took a route to an excluded area with luxurious homes. As the vehicle came to a complete stop, he spoke on the phone up to his ear." I'm here."

A woman rushed down the stairs with pink slipped in a casual long dress. Her brown her was tied in a ponytail that caused it to swishes back and forth. She had pretty emerald green eyes then shouted in the sweetest voice.

"Boobear!"

Kyosuke stepped out of the car and the two shared a long conversation. Sometime near the end of that discussion he clipped the jewelry around her neck then embrace her from behind.

Kotori looked away in the other direction with a slight ache,' What was I even thinking? I feel really stupid."
