Hina turned her gaze to Seiji.
Even though they were not together, the previous night had changed things a little. Plus, she could not deny that she liked Seiji from the moment she saw him. Otherwise, she would not have made that suggestion to Akira.
Seiji felt the sharp eyes on him and felt a bit of cold sweat.
The entire day, he was a little awkward about the things that happened between him and Hina. Truth be told, it was mostly his fault. He could not hold back after the two of them left the party. The occurrence was both great and weird.
When Hina was sweet and endearing as they kissed in the deep night, he felt like a beast taking advantage of someone's daughter. But he could not resist her soft voice, and it made him lose control. It felt like an indulgent and gentle scratching on his heart.
However, he did not forget that she was a tough lady at heart.
And she looked suspicious of him after the random woman called to him nauseatingly. How could he not be a little scared of this wife bequeathed to him by his sister?
"Brother Seiji," Mio called out again coquettishly after not getting a response for a few moments.
Seiji's face darkened further, and Hina looked at the woman walking towards them while twisting her waist like a snake.
'Peh! What kind of walking style is that? I should recommend a physiotherapist for her.' She thought pettily.
"Why are you standing outside here? Are you here to cause trouble?" Seiji asked coldly.
The question was directed at the crowd, but they was under Mio's control.
"Brother Seiji, this restaurant is too much. I came here to treat my friends and support a local business. Who knew that they would take my kindness for evil? They even chased me away. You have to get justice for me, Brother Seiji!" Mio said while stepping closer.
Seiji frowned. "You keep calling me Brother Seiji. Do we know each other?"
The entire reception area fell into complete silence.
Then, some people who could not hold back their laughter chuckled and giggled while hiding their mouths behind their hands. As followers of Mio, they should have supported her when Seiji said a mean thing to her.
But no one could deny that it was funny when someone arrogant was put down.
As for Hina, she laughed loudly and patted Seiji's back in encouragement. The little person in her heart put her hands on her waist and laughed gleefully at the arrogant woman trying to take someone she had put her stamp on.
Mio felt so hurt by the response from Seiji that she did not even look at Hina or the disloyal followers.
"Brother Seiji, how could you say such a thing? We have met so many times. I always visited Hanae at your home. We interacted many times. Are you trying to deny our past because of this strange woman?" Mio turned her vicious eyes to Hina.
Hina pointed at her nose in surprise. She was only watching a drama. She did not want to get dragged to the centre stage.
"I did not allow my cousin to call me brother. How can you, as an unrelated person, call me so intimately? Are we so close?" Seiji asked.
Mio's eyes watered a little. She had become Hanae's best friend when she met Seiji just for the sake of getting closer to him. But he was acting like he did not know her. It must be because of the bitch beside him!
She focused her malicious gaze on Hina. There was anger, jealousy and unwillingness as she stared. Though she was a beautiful celebrity, she did not have the perfect proportions of the graceful woman before her.
Even her casual jeans made her seem like a model. She could hardly compete with the latest limited edition dress from Pantheon.
"You have gone too far!" One of the girl minions looked at Seiji with anger. "Sister Mio has always been devoted to you, and you are abandoning her because of an unknown sl*t. Are you even a man?"
"Pfft!" Hina laughed involuntarily.
Mio felt like she had lost face at her follower's words. The stupid girl was defending her, yet she had insulted her. She made her seem pathetic. If she lost to an unknown sl*t, wasn't she worth even less? Furthermore, when she questioned Seiji's manhood, wasn't she questioning her judgement?
Mio forgot about the gentle image she was trying to cultivate before Seiji. She turned and slapped her follower across her face.
"I am sorry, Brother Seiji. I did not teach her well." She recovered immediately and turned to her Prince Charming with wide eyes.
"I don't care what you do. But don't disrupt my sister's business. Since you are not here to eat, please leave." Seiji said coldly.
He took Hina's hand and pulled her into the restaurant after nodding at Benji in acknowledgement. Benji was a little shocked by the proceedings. He was particularly unclear about Hina's change in relationship status. He could not wrap his head around those two people together.
Mio watched as Seiji and Hina walked away with flaming eyes. She roared and slapped the girl before her again. She turned and slapped the other girl before kicking the shins of a few of the young masters near her.
"What the hell are you always around me for if you cannot help me sort out this matter? Am I spending my money on idiots? Ugh!" She ġrȯȧnėd in frustration and turned to leave.
Her entourage was dissatisfied, but the Izumiya company was essential to the survival of their families. Even though the Izumiyas focused on entertainment, they invested in other industries. Otherwise, they would not be a part of the upper echelon.
Therefore, they had to please the little princess.
As the group of people left, they did not notice a young man concealed behind the trees, holding up a phone. When they got into their vehicles and drove off, he stepped out and walked into the building.
'That Mio is hot, but who knew her character was so questionable?' He grumbled in his heart. 'And how dare she scheme against our Akira's restaurant?'
When he appeared at the reception, Benji stepped forward to welcome the younger man who had a boyish appearance. He did not look like he was an ȧduŀt yet.
"Welcome, Mr Raiden," Benji said respectively.
The young man followed Akira on occasion, so Benji could recognise him. He knew that despite his youth he was part of the more complicated parts of Akira's life. Therefore, he was always respectful towards him.
"I told you to call me Rai." The boy complained.
Benji simply smiled. "Would you like a room?"
"No, I will find Akira myself."
