Chapter 400 - HAPPINESS AND CONTEMPT (1/2)
When Sayaka and Hanae were leaving the house for their meeting, Double M was coming to the house. Akira had told Maria to bring him directly to the main music room where the twins were intending to give their performance.
Maria and Double M stopped in the vestibule to greet the other two people. As a reliable butler, Maria introduced the unknown man as Akira's guest. However, she did not know his precise identity, so she could not give Sayaka more information.
”Oh, you must be the agent Akira invited to meet with the girls.” Sayaka greeted him warmly.
Morie did not know if Akira wanted his identity to be exposed to other people in Mountain Ridge. Since she had not said anything to her mother, he did not feel it was necessary to display his power or inflate his presence.
”It is a pŀėȧsurė to meet you, Mrs Yamazaki. Sorry for intruding.” He responded politely.
Hanae also spoke a respectful word of greeting to the man. Even though her forte was classical music, she was not ignorant about modern music and the current state of the entertainment industry. Therefore, she recognised Double M with just a glance.
She was a little star-struck because Double M had written and performed a lot of great songs. However, she could also feel that monster in her heart growing.
She did not understand how Akira knew such an influential person. A connection between them seemed impossible. The only possibility was that all the information she had heard about Akira before meeting her was completely fake. She was supposed to be a simple cook with a hard life.
Instead, she had proven to be a powerful and independent figure. Every time Akira was faced with a challenging situation and it looked like it would be the end for her, she would rise above and beyond.
This realisation continued to overwhelm and overcome Hanae.
She should be the one with the powerful connections.
She should be the one to lord her superiority over a country bumpkin.
”It is nothing. Feel at home. All Akira's friends are welcome. Thank you for taking care of my daughter.” Sayaka responded.
”How could it be? It is Akira who has been kind to me.” Morie said.
After a little more flattering chitchat, Sayaka and Hanae left the house while Maria led Double M into the house. When the two women entered the car, Hanae decided to say something.
”Auntie, did you not recognise that man?” Hanae asked.
”Is he that famous? I am not very familiar with the entertainment industry. I would not know a small agent.” Sayaka paused. ”But come to think of it, his face does look a little familiar. I thought it was just one of those faces.”
”He is famous. He is not an agent.” Hanae said. ”He is a musician, but he is also the CEO of one of the top entertainment companies in the country.”
