Chapter 10: First Kiss
Mr. Yamato was quite shocked to see Ryu with a beautiful woman when they arrived at the private room assigned for them.
Ryu introduced Arya as his girlfriend. "Oh, now I see why Mr. Ken never wavered whenever I asked him to see my daughter. He already has one of a kind beauty beside him."
Arya thanked him for the compliment and gave him her sweetest smile.
They were going to have lunch in a Japanese restaurant. Ryu and Mr. Yamato talked about business stuff, and she couldn’t relate at all since she graduated in a different field, very far from business. It seemed that Mr. Yamato was a good associate to Ryu, based on their chatting and bantering.
Arya just enjoyed the Japanese foods while she let the two talk. She was surprised by Ryu’s thoughtfulness. Every now and then he asked if she wanted to try this and that. He even put the various dishes on her plate.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to ditch this Old Man now with your sweetness?" Mr. Yamato complained while laughing.
Then, he added, "So, I assume all the rumors about you, being ruthless and cold were groundless."
Ryu smiled and answered, "They are not groundless. That’s true for those, who have tried to mess up with me. I have definitely hunted and brought them down. ’Mercy’ is out of my vocabulary for that kind of people."
"That’s more like you," Mr. Yamato commented as he poured sake to Ryu.
