“Screech!”
The sports car stopped at the front of the high-end residential community, which was surrounded by a profound-looking haze in the darkness of night.
.....
“Thanks for dropping me off, Flora-san!” Erick got out of the car and expressed his gratitude to Flora Haga, secretary, and friend of Hana Eto.
Flora Haga means Flower’s fragrance, she has medium stature with silky dark blond hair and greenish eyes. She has an hourglass figure with a huggable waist, plump bottoms, and a medium-sized bust. She likes to wear glasses and also has a strict persona when it comes to work and an amiable personality as long as she isn’t pissed.
“You are welcome, Erick-san! Well, then we will be on our way.” Flora Haga smiled and accepted Erick’s gratitude looking at the night sky, she gestured and indicated that it was time to part ways.
“Goodnight, Flora-san! And goodnight you too, Hana-nee!” Erick said goodnight to both of them even though Hana has her eye closed but he still said while caressing her cheeks a little.
“Goodnight Erick-san! And do visit us often as Hana-chan enjoys your presence!” Flora Haga greeted back while mentioning that her friend misses his presence and when he visits her, she feels happy spending time with him.
“Hmmm! Sure, I will!” Erick nodded and smiled while agreeing with her.
“Brooomm!”
Flora Haga started the car and left with the bust of speed and vanished in the night’s curtain.
Erick also turned around and went back inside while greeting the two uncles who were on guard duty at the front gate.
......
Just after Flora started to drive and was quite far away, Hana fluttered her eyes and opened them slowly while sitting straight.
“Oh! So you were awake, Hana-chan! I thought I had to drag you out and carry you to your room when we reach home.” Flora Haga said with a mischievous expression while indicating to Hana that she was aware of her little act.
Flora Haga always calls her Hana-chan when they are outside of their office or working place, but in the office or during working hours, Flora would call her Boss.
“Ahh! I am feeling a little dizzy, and no, I wasn’t awake from the start but only woke up when you dropped off Erick-Kun at his residential community.” Hana groaned holding her head and denied her friend’s claim of her acting and explained herself, afraid that her friend would use this to tease her later.
“So what happened inside the restaurant, I heard a commotion inside!” Flora asked, feeling that something was going on between Hana and Erick.
“Hahahaha! It’s nothing...nothing happened at all!” Hana laughed, feeling nervous while waving her hand to her friend.
“Common...common, tell me! I won’t say a word to others, promise!” Flora became even more enthusiastic after seeing the nervousness of her friend, the gossip instincts of a woman awakened in Flora.
“No way, I am not telling you anything! Humph!” Hana denied shaking her head knowing full well how her friend is, the next day the whole office will know about it once she told Flora.
“Hehehe! Sweety, don’t be shy, and just tell me!” Flora laughed sheepishly and kept on poking Hana with her words to tell her the sweet gossip that she was dying to know about.
“By the way, sister Aashi called me just an hour ago for the deal which you previously asked for!” Flora changed the subject after being unsuccessful in getting anything from Hana’s mouth.
“Ohh! Did she finally decide to collaborate with us?” Hana asked and her eyes shone with excitement when Flora mentioned Aashi and their deal.
“I don’t know about that but she said that they had gotten a truckload of materials and had no use for it so she asked if we needed it!” Flora said with a weird expression on her face. Flora had no idea what was on Aashi’s mind when she said that but regardless she was happy for her friend and Boss.
“Hehehe! With these materials, I can finally start my project ‘HT beauty and beasts’. Just after the initial production, I can catch up to Kristine and Aisa, both of their industries have gotten more famous than before and their development is even more exaggerated.” Hana laughed like a bell imagining her beauty and clothing company reaching even greater heights than her best friends who had suppressed her for a while now.
“Congratulations Hana-chan! Show both that you aren’t any less talented or capable than them!” Flora congratulates her friend while cheering her on. She sometimes wonders why they even care about the competition among themselves.
Flora Haga has met Kristine Camilo and Aisa Hironaka many times by now and became friends with them. Even though she sometimes envies the three of them for being such good friends. Nowadays, it’s pretty much impossible to find this kind of friendship wherever they have been like this since childhood. It would be a miracle if a friendship can last for more than 5 years in a world where deceit, lies, schemes, and many underhanded means are common means in society so Hana, Aisa, and Kristine’s friendship are like a miracle to her.
“I need to talk with sister Aashi about the details and where to settle those costly materials!” Hana said while thinking about the possible place where they can store the materials safely.
“Ohh! We are already here. Can you walk by yourself or want me to help you reach your room!” Flora stopped the engine of the car after entering the Hana State’s parking lot and asked Hana if she needed her help in standing up.
“Ehh! We arrived, and yes, please help me up here!” Hana looked outside the car and hearing Flora’s words, she accepted her help.
Flora helped her stand up and gave her a shoulder to rely on, then they both entered the mansion and went straight to Hana’s room.
On the way, Maids and servants greeted Hana and Flora with smiles and asked if they needed anything but Flora shook her head saying if she needed something she would calm them herself.
“Goodnight young Miss and Flora-san!” Maids greeted them goodnight and left them alone.
Maids were very familiar with Flora as her parents are caretakers of the Eto family.
“Okay, here now you can rest on the bed and I am going to my room to sleep as it’s ready late and we also need to wake up early tomorrow!” Flora helped Hana sit on her bed and just as she was about to leave Hana’s room she reminded her to sleep early.
Flora left after greeting her and Hana lay on the bed while massaging her head.
“Ahh, damn!! My head is throbbing so I just sleep now and talk with sister Aashi first thing in the morning.” Hana muttered and closed her eyes which gave her a soothing feeling and her throbbing lessened a little.
Just half an hour later, Hana went into dreamland.
......
Close to 40 km west of Osaka,
Before Aashi called Flora,
“Madam, what do you want to do with this mountain of natural beats’ materials?” Old Ren asked with a respectful tone while bowing a little.
“Hmmn! What to do, these materials are too low level so we have no use for them. Little Risa, by any chance, does someone need these materials!” Aashi looked bored and uninterested looking at the multiple trucks filled with nature beats’ materials, unable to think of any use for them she asked if Risa Yamana had been contacted by anyone familiar recently.
