Part 11-15
Yuri: “Oh, Y-You are...!”
???: “How long are you going to stand there? Come in!”
Yuri: “Y-Yes!”
As soon as I had entered, the security guard bowed and closed
the door. The two of us were left alone in the room.
???: “I see you like to quietly stare at people when you
enter rooms.”
Yuri: “Oh… Thank you very much for yesterday.”
???: “What are you talking about?”
Yuri: “I bumped into you, and you picked up the magazine for
me…”
???: “Did you find a good job?”
He looked at me wickedly and grinned
in amusement.
???:
“Yuri Higashikuni. You’re 28 years old. 3 people are in your family, a father
who owns his business, a mother who helps run it and you. No siblings.”
Yuri: “What?”
???: “After graduating from university, you started working
at your current job at the publicity agency as a secretary. Recently, the
father’s business failed. You are $500.000 in debt."
Yuri: “…How do you…”
???: “I’ve got all your information up here.”
He tapped his head with his finger.
While he was doing that, he continued looking straight into my eyes. His sharp
gaze pierced through me and I couldn’t move at all.
???: “You were reading that magazine looking for a job to
pay off the debt. Am I correct?”
Yuri: “H-How do you know…?”
???: “Are you planning on paying the whole $500k all by
yourself?”
Yuri: “That has nothing to do with you…”
I was going to say something, but I realized that our
circumstances have changed since yesterday. If I to put this man in a bad mood
it might affect the contract between our companies.
Yuri: (Oh no… this is a heavy burden for me.)
???: “I like that expression.”
Yuri: “What did you say?”
???: “Are you scared of me?”
Yuri: “No, not really…”
???:
“In your mind just now, you were contemplating what you should do. If you anger
me, it will nullify the contract and cause trouble for your company. However,
you don’t understand why I know so much about you and you want to get out of
here. Am I correct?”
Yuri: “H-How…?”
I hesitated. He knew exactly what I
was thinking, there was no point in denying it.
???: “Anyway have a seat. We can’t talk calmly while we are
standing.”
Yuri: “Y-Yes…” (I don’t know why, but I find myself
powerless to resist this man. Is it his commanding tone of voice?)
I sat down on the sofa as instructed, and he smiled with
satisfaction as he took the seat across of me.
???: “Don’t be so timid.”
Yuri: “Y-Yes, ok…”
???: “You were like that yesterday too. You looked like you
were trying to be strong, but you must have been nervous. You must be the type
of person who follows orders instantly when they are given to you.”
He guesses about me were right on the mark, to his amusement.
Every time he said something, I felt cold sweat dripping on my back.
???: “I’ll ask you again. Are you going to pay $500,000 all
by yourself?”
Yuri: “My father’s business went under, so it’s my
responsibility.”
???: “Legally you don’t need to pay it off, you know that,
right?”
Yuri: “I know that.”
???: “Nonetheless, are you still intent on paying it?”
Yuri: “If I decide it’s not my responsibility, and don’t pay
it back that would be the same as my father failing to pay his loan.”
???: “Hum… you are of unexpectedly high moral fabric.”
I felt his smile didn’t express his true opinion. However, his
words and smile pierce arrows right through me.
???: “I’m Soji Shirogane and I represent Platinum. I will
pay your loans in full.”
Yuri: “…What?”
Soji: “But I in exchange I have conditions.”
I stood there stunned and unable to
respond to such strange proporsition.
Soji: “from rhis moment onward, you will be my slave.”
He continued. My eyes were fixed stupidly on the corners of
his mouth.
