Chapter 29 is too degrading.
"May I?"
Watanabe Yukino's eyes lit up.
To be honest, she doesn't drink excessively, and she has the feel of a virtuous wife. Although she's not stunning, she really exudes a reassuring and comfortable aura.
"Thank you so much! I'm extremely grateful!"
"You flatter us. Since you've come to our store, you are guests we must treat with utmost care."
Kato Inu maintained his smile, offering a moderately provocative comment.
"No matter what, you shouldn't keep a woman waiting for too long."
From Yukino's perspective, this statement did not sound malicious.
But without a doubt, it will effectively plant a thorn in her heart.
Yukino's expression did show some anxiety.
Soon, Kato returned with a troubled look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Yukino."
He deliberately hesitated, saying, "Nakajima-kun's current situation... I'm not at liberty to tell you, I hope you understand."
Although it doesn't explicitly state where Nakajima Hiro is, such as if he's with other guests, the current situation will likely lead to such speculation.
As expected, Yukino's expression froze upon hearing this, revealing obvious disappointment.
Even if he felt he wasn't a good match, he didn't want Nakajima Hiroshi to spend time with other women...
Other women...
Who is he with?
She's definitely younger and prettier than me...
But this is a host club after all, so this kind of thing is quite normal.
This kind of...
"Why."
Yukino sighed deeply and shook her head gently.
She bit her lip and remained silent for a long while before finally speaking with a sour tone, "I understand."
"Thank you so much for your help. It's my fault for not having an appointment."
What else can we do but say it like this? Are we supposed to make a scene in the store and embarrass ourselves?
It already looked low-class before, does it have to keep going downhill?
Forget it, I might as well pretend to be magnanimous.
Despite trying to comfort herself, Yukino still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
It's hard to say whether it's resentment towards Nakajima Hiroshi, or blame for her own lack of charm, or perhaps...
Kato Inu sneered inwardly, thinking, "If you keep being this understanding, you'll end up becoming a bitter, unwanted woman."
You're always talking about how men are this and that; who would like you? You deserve it.
But he wore a warm smile on his face as he reassured her.
"How about this, Yukino, next time you can try calling this number before you come and make an appointment with Nakajima-kun in advance, so you don't make a wasted trip."
"Huh?"
Watanabe Yukino's radiance returned once again.
There was an unexpected bonus!
Ok……
No, I'm clearly a guest. I should have asked Nakajima Hiroshi for his phone number last time. That's clearly my right... right?
It doesn't matter anymore. I'm still happy to have gotten his phone number.
Hehehe, Yukino, today's trip was worthwhile!
She is indeed very suitable for nightclubs.
With a little guidance, this kind of shallow personality can easily lead to a life of constant indulgence in pleasure.
However, upon seeing this, Kato's alarm bells went off.
I don't know what kind of skills Nakajima Hiroshi has that can make even this damned, resentful woman so confused.
I look like I'm in real danger!
We must get rid of him; we need to find a way to kick him out of this store!
No one can touch my queen!
Inside the office.
Misaki Tachibana moved the mouse, zoomed in on the monitor, and brought it closer to the note in Yukino's hand.
Hiroshi Nakajima shrugged: "It's not mine."
"I can guess that."
Misaki Tachibana replied irritably.
The only one who was genuinely happy about all this mess was Watanabe Yukino.
Looking at the large table of fine wines, food, and small gifts in front of her, she felt that even though she had spent 16,000 yen of her stored value, the trip was still incredibly worthwhile.
Of all the years that "Ai" has been in business, Yukino is probably the first person to have gotten a good deal at the store.
We can't waste it, it's all money!
"Excuse me……"
She looked cautiously at Kato Inu: "Could you pack these for me?"
Kato's expression froze.
Generally speaking, it's rare to see takeout orders at host clubs.
That would seem too extravagant.
Moreover, compared to the restaurant's exorbitant prices, the food was really nothing.
Perhaps only a woman as tasteless as Yukino would be so shameless.
He felt even more disgusted.
But being a top-tier male escort, after a moment of silence, he still bowed and said, "It is my honor to serve you."
In reality, even if a customer does order takeout, this is usually handled by a server.
However, Kato Inu really did do everything himself.
But as he was packing the bags, he could almost hear the other male escorts trying to suppress their laughter.
Because Yukino was so cheap, while he was helping to clean up, he even went outside to buy a pack of disposable cups and poured expensive champagne and other drinks into them...
The top courtesan comes to serve a woman like this...
Kato Inu vaguely remembered that before setting off, he had arrogantly told the newcomers, "Watch me!"
He's too embarrassed to show off this table to those good-for-nothings now.
After all, not only did I not make a single purchase, I also ended up working as a waiter...
That's so cheap.
"This woman knows how to manage a household."
Inside the office, Nakajima Hiroshi smiled helplessly.
Misaki Tachibana glared at him fiercely.
Of course, this wasn't Hiroshi Okinakajima getting angry.
However, Kato's actions did cross the line for the store.
But she cannot punish the other party yet, at least not now.
The reason is simple and straightforward: Kato Inu represents a major client of the store.
This made Tachibana Misaki feel quite annoyed, and it was difficult for her to maintain a good expression.
Moreover, not only could he not punish Kato Inu, he also had to appease Nakajima Hiroshi to avoid a direct conflict between them.
"Nakajima".
Misaki Tachibana took a deep breath, suppressing her anger.
Under the blue light of the monitor screen, a face as cold as ice was reflected.
"I know this makes you feel..."
"Misaki-nee."
Nakajima Hiro interrupted the other person at the right moment.
He naturally knew what the boss was going to say.
It's simple: tell yourself not to cause trouble and swallow your anger.
These kinds of statements would embarrass the boss, and any sensible subordinate would choose to take over the conversation.
"I know what you're trying to say."
"Don't worry, I, Nakajima Hiroshi, am here to make money. I don't want to get involved in pointless fights."
"So you don't need to worry that I'll retaliate and make a mess of the store."
Misaki Tachibana sighed.
"but."
Hiroshi Nakajima continued, "But if every customer is disrupted, then..."
"I'll give him a talking-to."
Misaki Tachibana frowned deeply as she looked at the surveillance camera.
She was somewhat troubled, after all, she wanted to find an opportunity to teach Kato a lesson, but Kato was really hard to get along with.
Onodera Mizuki has a lot of water flowing.
If something goes wrong and the store's sales are halved, the profits won't just be reduced by half; they could even turn from profit to loss.
To put it bluntly, in extreme circumstances, even if Kato makes a mistake, one has no choice but to protect him to the death.
She couldn't think of a way to appease Nakajima Hiroshi for the time being, so she could only temporarily send him away by saying, "Nakajima, why don't you go out and maintain relations with some clients?"
She then added, "Of course, not in the store, for now..."
"no problem."
Nakajima nodded: "I will try my best to avoid conflict with Kato, but..."
"So, just like last time, I skipped work?"
"Go ahead, it counts as you specifically requesting to go out."
This can be considered as giving each other a way out.
Nakajima Hiro swallowed his grievances, and Tachibana Misaki offered him appropriate compensation.
If you're being paid, what's there to complain about?
Today's sales all go to Nakajima Hiroshi's commission, and he even gets paid leave...
In some ways, this Kato dog is not bad!
