Kahina hates crowds especially the big function like this but she made an exception this time with the thought of getting more pointers from Touma. Touma invites a lot of important figures and celebrities. Kahina fully aware the values all the guests have to offer but it is uncomfortable for her with all the hypocritical face they wore to each other. They smiled, laughed and flattered each other to gain network and broaden the support and it despised her to the thought she needs to do the same."Miss Hinode! It is a pleasure to meet you today. I rarely saw you come to an event like this." Here comes the heir of Sachihata Corp. He currently holds the COO position in Sachihata Corp. and the oldest son of Sachihata Family. They are not a Yakuza Family but the power they have over the authorities can"t be underestimated. Sachihata family is the lead company in the entertainment industries in j.a.pan. They produced hundreds of international celebrities and have their own publishing company. Truth to be told they controlled most of the news and story in j.a.pan. In other words, they decided the truth of the story for you regardless of the real story was.
"The pleasure is all mines, Mr Sachihata. I"m here to support Megamind Corp but I"ve strike gold by meeting you." This charming man is someone she does not wish to offend and it is better to have another card to keep.
"You flattered me, Miss Hinode. It was me that should be grateful after our last encounter. By the way, just call me Toshiro."
"Indeed last time was not really a pleasant experience." She recalled the first time they met was because of the event Fivon Corp hosted a few months back. One of Sachihata"s artists was hurt during the event at the artist accused Fivon employee of it. It was actually caused by the artist negligence but the employee incompetent was at fault too. Fivon Corp ends up compensated the artist to avoid bad reputation from media and maintain the relationship between Fivon Corp. and Sachihata Corp. "What a waste... aishhh!"
Toshiro"s chuckle snapped Kahina back to the present and the sight of him was bliss to her eyes. Toshiro is handsome; he had wild almond eyes, a chisel nose, delicious bow-like lips and it was completed with heart jawline. Don"t mention about his high fade haircut. No woman will be able to resist him. Kahina was also shaken up to his seductive look. Luckily Touma has occupied her heart made her resistance stronger.
"Let me treat you dinner later as a peace offering?"
"Hmmm... I"m intrigued. It is nice of you. Tell me, what brings you here personally?"
"This event is the biggest thing right now and it is not hurt to make new friends." Kahina nodded while walking to a commotion nearby. The gamers currently have a friendly match to test the new game. The crowd cheered to their favourite gamer and discussed on the game strategies they used. The game was much enlivened when both of the team scored.
The game ended soon after and the mixed reaction fascinated her but each one of them showed they were impressed with the game itself. She unconsciously has the urge to puff her chest and chin up like the game was created by her. "Hubby did well..." Her lips curled up and eyes started to wander around. She had forgotten about Toshiro at her side as soon as she spotted Touma. Her smiles widen and eyes brighten when she saw Touma walked towards her direction with three men behind him. They were his top men in Megamind Corp.
"Miss Hinode, thank you for coming. I hope you enjoy yourself." he formally greeted Kahina. He needs to maintain his professional image to the guests.
"I do. Congratulations on the launch product. It is impressive."
"Thank you. It is the team effort. I will extend your congratulations to them."
Their conversation was interrupted by Toshiro.
"Mr Anzo, My name Toshiro Sachihata. Congratulations on your success." They bowed to each other.
"Mr Sachihata. Thank you for coming. I hope you enjoy yourself here."
The three of them started to converse to each other about the game and the potential it could reach. And the conversation halted when a cheery pet.i.te woman greeted the group. Her cute pet.i.te body with a round face and big eyes was candy to one"s eyes. Despite her cuteness, she still emitted a professional aura.
"Mr Anzo, congratulation on the launch. It was pleasant working with you." her vixen eyes allured all attention to her but one person was killing the owner of the vixen eyes repeatedly inside.
"This b.i.t.c.h still has the guts to come here. I thought the tortured was enough." Kahina resisted the urge to punch and gauge Sarah"s eyes out.
"Miss Ito, the pleasure was all mines. Let me introduce you to Miss Hinode and Mr Sachihata."
Kahina refused to bow and only grace her with a slight nodded. Touma saw Kahina irritation although she was smiling. He knows her enough to recognize the type of smile she has right now. That was not a good kind of smiles. I-want-to-kill-someone"s kind of smile.
Touma can"t help to reminisce the night she drunk herself. She was cute and adorable. The jealous Kahina make him gleeful inside. He let a small laugh out and the effect was astounding. Everyone in the present was stunned by his laughter. It was rare for him to lose himself in the public. The awkward silence brought him back to reality. He clears his throat to shake off the awkwardness and acted like the laughter just now was only their imagination.
After a while, Touma excused himself to greet other guests and Sarah was greeted by her fans. They were asked her for a photo but Kahina saw her clenched her fists to hide her shaking. She immediately wrapped her hand around Sarah"s shoulder and acted friendly.
"Aww... I"m sorry guys. I need to borrow her for a while." She leaned her head to Sarah"s shoulder and pouted to the fans. The cuteness from both of the women melted everyone"s heart and they thoughtlessly agreed.
Kahina pulled Sarah"s hand to the washroom and locked the door. No one occupied the room and it was easy for her.
"Thank you for helping me." Sarah clamps both of her hand and pulled it close to the chest to calm her heart that almost burst out.
"Helping you? Huh! It is good that you realize that." Kahina"s tone wasn"t positioned well for Sarah. She frowned puzzled to her replied. "Am I offended her?"
"I"m sorry. I didn"t understand. Did I do something wrong?"
"Let me ask you. Three men weren"t enough for you? Do you still need to bother my man?" Sarah"s lips trembled and her eyes widen with tears welled up.
"Its... It is... you..."
Kahina scoffed then she approached her but Sarah took a few steps back. Kahina continues her steps and so does Sarah until her back was pinned to the wall. The tears were streams down and the trembled was uncontrollable. Her dress was soaked with cold sweat and her knees started to lose its strength.
"Please... Please... I"m sorry..."
Kahina wiped her tears gently and pulled Sarah to his embrace. Then she softly stroked her back like a mother coax her daughter. After the trembled subsided and the sob was calmer, Kahina soft words stupefied Sarah.
"I can make everything go away and I also can make it worst. Choose wisely, Sarah." Kahina patted Sarah"s head and put a handkerchief on her hand before she left her stoned alone.
