Tanaga situated himself before standing up straight and just like what he usually does. He goes straight to where the car was waiting for them while she followed right behind him as a good a.s.sistant does.
Every employee that they meet on the way stopped and bowed in reverence and greet Tanaga, who doesn"t even answer back. He continued walking without looking back and checking if Ashley was following behind him.
"Good afternoon, CEO Jones!" Said every person they ran into. However, as soon as Tanaga pa.s.ses by... every person would give Ashley the look of disdain...
Ashley only kept on following Tanaga without bothering to pay attention to the other employees. She knows that they all hated her guts at the moment, but who cares. What"s important at the moment is the crazy husband she has that"s currently fuming because his b.u.t.t landed at the ground.
Tiny and the other bodyguard were all standing by the car and waiting for the couple to arrive. They have the car door open, waiting for them to enter the vehicle. Once Tanaga reaches them, they all greeted him.
"Ceo Jones!" The bodyguards bowed at once.
Instead of going straight inside the vehicle, he stopped and waited for his wife to enter first. However, Ashley already went around the other side and opened her door as she was ready to enter from the other side.
"Tiny! What are you doing?" Tanaga yells at Tiny, who was still standing and waiting for him go into the car so he could close the door.
"What?" Tiny looked up at Tanaga, not understanding why he shouted at him. When he saw that he looked across the car where Ashley was ready to go inside the vehicle, he then realizes what"s going on ...
"Oh "s.h.i.+t!" He quickly went to the other side to stand up and protect Ashley from anything.
"I"m sorry, ma"am!" Tiny said as he was obviously worried because he forgot about taking care of her.
"It"s ok! No sweat, as many of you guys on the watch, nothing bad will happen to me. By the way, I have a favor to ask you if you can." Ashley said as she went inside the car.
"Sure, ma"am! What is it that I need to do for you?"
"I left my purse in Sir Jones"s office, can you come back later and get it while we are at the restaurant? I have important doc.u.ments inside, and my cellphone is in it." Ashley explained while Tanaga overheard their conversation as he came inside the car.
"If you mean your purse. Don"t bother because no one could give it to Tiny because it"s in my drawer, and it"s locked. Just wait after we eat, we could stop by before we go home." Replies Tanaga did not notice that Tiny and Ashley looked at each other, confused at what he said.
"What does he mean by going home? Is he really going to live with me at grandma Hanada"s home? " Ashley asked herself as concern was gently showing on her face.
A few minutes later, they arrived at one of the famous restaurants in the area. The Maitre D "greeted them happily when he saw who came.
"Welcome! CEO Jones!" As he bowed.
"Thank you!" Tanaga replies without any emotion on his face. "Is there someone in our private room?" He asked as he walked to where the THJ Group"s private room was in that restaurant.
"No" sir Jones. You know that under no circ.u.mstances will we use your private room. When it"s just an emergency, and when it"s part of the business of the company." The Maitre d " proudly informed Tanaga.
Ashley, who was standing next to Tanaga, couldn"t believe that THJ Group has a private room at that restaurant. "Wow! Unbelievable!" She thought as they approached where the private room located.
When they arrived at the THJ Group"s private room, Ashley was amazed that this was not just a room. It is a pavilion with a garden in the middle there"s a fountain. Around it was ten private areas with oblong desks and square mats to sit on. Each area has curtains that can be lowered to allow privacy.
In the most significant area, Tanaga and Ashley were taken. Before they could go inside, Tanaga took off his shoes. Ashley did the same as Tanaga helped her inside.
A piece of good music was playing, and the breeze coming from the garden was very friendly and calm. Ashley felt like she"s at a private secluded beach resort, Instead of inside one of the luxurious restaurants in the heart of Tokyo, j.a.pan. Her smile was beautiful as she looked at the beautiful flowers around her.
Tanaga noticed it and smiled at what he saw. "What do you think? Do you like it?" Tanaga asked as he gazed into his wife"s gentle face.
"Yes! What a beautiful place! You wouldn"t think there was something like this inside this restaurant.
The owner"s very impressive for thinking of building such a place. He who thought of this idea is a genius!" Ashley said as her eyes flickered with excitement.
The Maitre d "who was standing outside the private area heard what Ashley had said and was happy to hear such praise and decided to take the opportunity and interjected. "Ma"am, Sir! If you don"t mind, I would like to invite the son of the owner of the place. He"s currently here to see how well we are running the facility, and I hope to boost our review. If he talks to one of our most VVIP customers, I"m sure we will get the highest mark. " The Maitre d "gently told the couple.
The two looked at each other before Tanaga answered. "Sure! It"s fine with us, but wait after we have our dinner because I"m hungry."
"Thank you! CEO Jones! I"ll expedite your meal preparation. Thank you very much!" The Maitre d " he was excited to leave, so he could go and see the owner"s son who"s at the moment checking their income statement.
The Maitre d "went to the kitchen first to inform them to prioritize and urgently prepare the food for the CEO of THJ Group and his company. Once he instructed the kitchen staff, he went straight to the General Manager"s office.
* Knock-knock-knock! * "President Sanches ... This is the Maitre D", may I speak with you for a moment?" He excitedly knocked so he could boast about his guest, which is one of the richest men in j.a.pan, and it could be in the Philippines as well where their headquarters located.
