I'm surrounded by women.

In Katori Kyozuki's view, as long as he can become the head of the family in advance, everything that follows will be a foregone conclusion.

What about Katori Genzakura's thoughts?

Katori Kyozuki's love for Katori Gen Sakura had long been twisted and distorted after more than a decade of repression and endurance. She didn't even consider whether Gen Sakura was willing to marry her. She had only one thought in her mind: even if she had to use coercion or inducement, she had to make Gen Sakura her wife!

Chapter 100: The Thing in the Palm (3)

After venting her emotions, Katori Kyozuki calmed down a little. When she came to her senses, she found that the cup she usually used was already filled with warm water.

There were only herself and Nishiwaki Jiechun in the office right now. It didn't take her long to guess who poured the water in the cup for her.

Who else could it be besides Nishiwaki Kaiharu?

Katori Kyozuki picked up the cup, took a sip of warm water, and felt a little better.

Looking at Nishiwaki Keiharu who was standing aside, cautious and not daring to speak, Katori Kyozuki opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, and just said lightly:

"I'm a little hungry. Go call the cafeteria and ask them to send me a meal... Never mind, just send me some stir-fried vegetables and rice. I've been in England for so long, it's time for me to get together with my subordinates for a simple meal. You can order whatever you want, and you can stay here for dinner later."

"I understand." Nishiwaki Jiechun nodded slightly. After hearing what Katori Kyozuki said at this time, he felt very happy.

Although Katori Kyozuki now drives back to the large flat in Chiyoda Ward after get off work every day to live with her, the opportunities for the two of them to eat together are very few because they have different meal times.

Looking at Nishiwaki Jiechun's back as she left happily, Katori Kyozuki looked at her with some confusion, not understanding what this woman was so happy about.

As for Nishiwaki Noriharu, Katori Kyozuki actually always felt a little confused about what she was thinking.

Katori Kyougetsu remembered Nishiwaki Kaiharu mentioning this by chance before: "Kyougetsu, do you remember? We were classmates when we were in junior high school."

Katori Kyozuki was indeed a little surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect that the personal secretary she hired went to the same junior high school as her?

Katori Kyozuki hated the rules and regulations of the private academy for young ladies from the nobility, so when she was in junior high school, she directly chose a relatively good ordinary junior high school. It was because of this that she became a classmate of Nishiwaki Kaiharu.

If Katori Kyozuki had followed her family's arrangements and gone to a private academy for young ladies of the nobility, Nishiwaki Noriharu probably wouldn't have met Katori Kyozuki.

If we really miss each other like this, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse for each other?

However, Katori Kyozuki was only slightly surprised by this incident and did not really take it to heart. It was more like he almost forgot about it and only remembered it at this time.

Katori Kyozuki is a person with strong action ability. He always makes plans before taking action.

When she was in junior high school, she had already started laying the groundwork for her college education, so she basically spent the three years of junior high school alone. She didn't remember the names of any of her classmates at all, and even forgot the names of her teachers after graduation.

With such a personality, Katori Kyogetsu naturally did not remember Nishiwaki Keiharu.

The reason why he was sure that Nishiwaki Jiechun and he were classmates was that after Nishiwaki Jiechun finished speaking, he took out the junior high school graduation photo that he had carefully preserved.

Katori Kyogetsu took a look and found that she and Nishiwaki Kaiharu were indeed on the list, and then she was sure that she and she were classmates in junior high school.

After seeing the graduation photo that Nishiwaki Keiharu brought out, Katori Kyogetsu said:

"You're such a weird person. What's the point of preserving photos like this so carefully? I almost forgot where I threw my junior high school graduation photo. Or rather, I don't think I've ever kept any graduation photos from kindergarten to college."

In response to Katori Kyogetsu's complaints, Nishiwaki Kaiharu just smiled embarrassedly.

However, even though she knew that the other party was her junior high school classmate, Katori Kyozuki did not have any special opinion about Nishiwaki Noriharu. In her opinion, the relationship between her and Nishiwaki Noriharu was just a special employment relationship.

Sooner or later it will end.

If my plan goes smoothly, I guess I will end my relationship with Nishiwaki Kaiharu this year...

I will give her a huge amount of compensation at that time. No matter what, she destroyed her original face with her own hands for me.

Plastic surgery can feel very different to a person.

If someone originally did not look very pretty, after undergoing plastic surgery, they would only thank the surgery in their heart every day for making them so beautiful.

But if you already have a beautiful appearance, but for various reasons you have to undergo plastic surgery that is almost like a face-changing surgery, then after the surgery, every time you look in the mirror, you may gradually feel disgusted with your current self, and over time it may even worsen into a serious mental illness.

Although she could no longer remember Nishiwaki Noriharu's previous appearance, Katori Kyozuki also remembered that Nishiwaki Noriharu was already very beautiful. If she had not made this request, Nishiwaki Noriharu would never have needed to learn about plastic surgery in her life.

Thinking of this, Katori Kyozuki felt a little guilty and thought about giving Nishiwaki Keiharu more money when the time comes.

After confirming the additional compensation, Katori Kyozuki no longer spent time thinking about Nishiwaki Kaiharu. Spending a lot of time thinking about one person is obviously not something Katori Kyozuki would do.

There is only one person that Katori Kyozuki spends a lot of time thinking about, and that is Katori Genzakura.

After picking up the phone and calling his business secretary and driver, Katori Kyozuki returned to his desk, preparing to deal with the accumulated work before eating.

……

After the business secretary and driver he had called arrived at the office, Katori Kyozuki temporarily put down his work and said:

"I just arrived in Japan today. After leaving the airport, I went straight back to the company, so I thought I'd call you all over for a simple lunch in the office. Xiaolin, after lunch break, remember to organize last month's billing information for me. I have a meeting at 4 pm. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Chairman Katori." Xiao Lin nodded and said seriously.

Katori Kyozuki's current position in the Katori Group is vice chairman, but Katori Ryuin is not here now, so everyone calls her "Chairman Katori".

After all, everyone working in the Katori Group is an adult, and they understand the little rules of addressing others. When addressing a deputy leader alone, they simply remove the word "deputy".

Just at this time, Nishiwaki Jiechun also came back. After seeing that everyone had arrived, he greeted everyone.

The two business secretaries and the driver quickly responded politely after seeing Nishiwaki Jiechun.

As for Nishiwaki Jieharu, the personal secretary, everyone is an adult. The other business secretary Xiaoqiu is already married and a mother. No one is a freshman who just graduated from college. Naturally, everyone can guess that the relationship between Nishiwaki Jieharu and Katori Kyozuki may be a little unusual.

Rather, in this world, which boss dares to guarantee that his relationship with his personal secretary is absolutely clean?

Although Nishiwaki Jiechun has a good personality, is submissive and does not cause trouble, none of the other employees under Katori Kyozuki's management dare to look down on her or bully her intentionally.

After all, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. What if Nishiwaki Keiharu gets angry and whispers in Katori Kyozuki's ear at night, and Katori Kyozuki happens to be a person who protects his own people? That would be troublesome.

After all, no one can tell how far the relationship between Katori Kyozuki and Nishiwaki Kaiharu has developed.

After seeing Nishiwaki Jiharu come back, Katori Kyozuki looked directly at the driver who usually drove her, Hayata Saki.

Saki Hayata was the driver she hired a few years ago. When she saw her resume showing her age of 28 and 10 years of driving experience, Katori Kyozuki was stunned for a moment. After asking her, she found out that when Saki Hayata was studying in a girls' high school, she found that she was getting less and less able to concentrate on her studies. She happened to have some talent in driving, so she simply went straight to a junior college and took advantage of the spring break after graduating from high school to get a driver's license.

I started driving after getting my driver's license at the age of 18 and drove until I was 28, so I do have 10 years of driving experience.

"Hayata, after this spring, you will have given me the driving time for 6 years, right?" Katori Kyozuki asked casually at first.

"Yes, yes." Hayata Saki nodded a little nervously. In fact, she had been feeling a little restless since Katori Kyozuki called her to the office.

Although Katori Kyozuki said that he wanted to have a simple meal with his subordinates after returning to Japan, why did he call his driver over as well?

No matter how good a driver he is, during the meal, Katori Kyozuki and the two business secretaries were talking about business topics, and he could not participate in such topics at all.

Having driven for Katori Kyozuki for so many years, Hayata Saki also knows that Katori Kyozuki's personality is that he doesn't want to have any extra people at the dinner party. Every time a dinner party is arranged, basically everyone present will play a role.

Now, Katori Kyozuki called me over, so there must be something he wants to talk to me about...

As for what happened?

"I heard that you're still not married. Are you not planning on getting married, or... is there someone you're thinking of that you're afraid to tell?"

Katori Kyozuki asked in a joking tone, making it difficult to guess her intention for the moment?

When Hayata Saki was asked "Is there anyone you are thinking about?", she subconsciously glanced at Nishiwaki Keiharu who was standing beside her, and then quickly looked away.

Although she didn't know why Katori Kyozuki asked this suddenly, she felt an ominous premonition that was hard to describe in words. However, facing Katori Kyozuki's gaze, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"No, I don't have anyone in mind. It's just that I'm already thirty years old and haven't found the right person yet, so I'm not in a hurry to get married."

"Is that so... I don't care about the marriage status of my subordinates. Just don't bring your family affairs to the company. If you get married someday, you can tell me. Although I don't have time to attend the wedding, I will still give you a gift." Katori Kyozuki said lightly.

After hearing what Katori Kyozuki said, Hayata Saki quickly said, "Of course, of course. When I get married in the future, I will tell you the first time."

"Then I'll wait patiently, but..."

At this point, Katori Kyozuki suddenly changed the subject. She looked at Hayata Saki and said with a hint of warning, "It's better not to keep thinking about people you shouldn't be thinking about, so as to avoid getting into trouble later."

For a moment, Hayata Saki, who was sitting on the sofa, felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She pursed her lips tightly and dared not speak. She knew very well what Katori Kyozuki was talking about.

During the time when Katori Kyozuki was not at home, every time Nishiwaki Keiharu got off work, Hayata Saki would take the initiative to send Nishiwaki Keiharu home. Occasionally, after coming to the company, she would buy Nishiwaki Keiharu a drink, and when she had nothing to do, she would go to Nishiwaki Keiharu to chat.

Nishiwaki Haru thought that Hayata Saki only treated her as a friend, but she didn't know that Hayata Saki was planning to pursue her.

Of course, Hayata Saki knew that the relationship between Nishiwaki Noriharu and Katori Kyozuki might be unusual, but Katori Kyozuki had been away from Japan for too long, so long that she had the courage to hook up with Nishiwaki Noriharu.

Saki Hayata thought she had concealed it well, but she didn't know that her every move was seen by the spy secretly arranged by Katori Kyozuki next to Nishiwaki Kaiharu, and was secretly photographed and reported to Katori Kyozuki one by one.

No matter what, Nishiwaki Jiechun's things are at least his now, and Katori Kyogetsu hates it most when others are coveting his things.

Hayata Saki sat on the sofa, not daring to move, ready to endure Katori Kyozuki's anger, but unexpectedly Katori Kyozuki changed the subject and said with a smile:

"It's almost time, let's eat first. In short, I just gave you a brief summary of your performance in recent times. Everyone should correct their mistakes if they have any, and encourage each other if there are none.

During the time I was away from Japan, I actually had a good idea of ​​whether your work performance and that of other subordinates was good or bad.

However, this time, I was away from Japan for too long, and I bear some responsibility for that. So, all the things that happened during this period, both good and bad, are now behind me."

After that, the canteen delivered the food, and the delivery staff also prepared a few bottles of beer.

"I know you all like to go to the kebab shop after get off work, eat some kebabs, and drink some beer to cool down. We have a meeting this afternoon, so let's skip the shochu and baijiu for now. You can drink a little beer in moderation, it won't interfere with anything. I'll have a small drink too, to cool down. Hayata, you can drink more, since you won't be driving this afternoon. After dinner, just go back to the lounge and get some sleep."

Katori Kyozuki said with a smile. With Katori Kyozuki's permission, the two business secretaries and Hayata Saki each took a bottle of beer, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. Nishiwaki Keiharu, who was not good at drinking, sat next to Katori Kyozuki and ate quietly.

Chapter 101 Creating Lies and Maintaining Lies

When they were halfway through their meal, Katori Kyougetsu suddenly felt like drinking some water, so he said to Nishiwaki Kaiharu:

"Go get me a glass of water."

Nishiwaki Jiechun nodded obediently. In front of outsiders, she was always very well behaved, watching more, listening more, doing more and talking less.

Just because of the influence of alcohol, Katori Kyozuki's behavior became a little impulsive. The moment Nishiwaki Keiharu stood up, I don't know what was going on in his mind, but Katori Kyozuki reached out and slapped Nishiwaki Keiharu's butt.

"Ah!" Nishiwaki Jiechun's cheeks flushed, and he looked at Katori Kyozuki in surprise. Katori Kyozuki rarely did such a thing, right? Especially in front of outsiders.

Katori Kyozuki seemed to be amused by Nishiwaki Kaiharu's shy reaction and laughed out loud.

Nishiwaki Jiharu blushed and ran away like a frightened animal to pour water for Katori Kyogetsu.

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, or perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too relaxed, but Hayata Saki, who was eating, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hayata Saki didn't know why she wanted to laugh so much. Maybe it was because she wanted to use this method to ease her jealousy towards Katori Kyozuki. She knew very well that it would be impossible for her to pursue Nishiwaki Noriharu in a short period of time. Even if Nishiwaki Noriharu was abandoned by Katori Kyozuki one day, even if she wanted to take over Nishiwaki Noriharu, Nishiwaki Noriharu might not agree.

When she thought of this, Hayata Saki felt very jealous of Katori Kyozuki. Why could she possess Nishiwaki Kaiharu so easily?

In her laughter, there was Hayata Saki's jealousy and resentment towards Katori Kyozuki, as well as her fantasy about Nishiwaki Keiharu. She had lost count of how many times she had fantasized about possessing Nishiwaki Keiharu at night.

Saki Hayata was smiling, and Kyozuki Katori was also smiling, but Xiaolin and Xiaoqiu were the only ones who were not smiling. They sat on the sofa beside them, staring blankly at Saki Hayata who had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Hahahahahaha..." Katori Kyozuki laughed, slowly turned his head and looked at Hayata Saki who was sitting not far away and was also laughing.

From the moment Katori Kyozuki looked at Hayata Saki, the originally relaxed and cheerful atmosphere suddenly became heavy and solidified as if falling into an abyss.

Slowly, the laughter that was originally ringing in the air began to dissipate bit by bit. In just a few seconds, there was no more laughter in the entire office.

Katori Kyozuki still had a smile on his face, but the smile had long disappeared from his eyes. He didn't say a word, but just silently picked up the beer bottle on the table and filled Xiaolin, Xiaoqiu and Hayata Saki's glasses with beer.

As Katori Kyozuki's business secretaries, Xiaolin and Xiaoqiu could understand the atmosphere at the moment even if they didn't know Katori Kyozuki's personality. They quickly drank the beer in their cups, put down their chopsticks, and said to Katori Kyozuki:

"Chairman Katori, let's go take a call first."

After saying that, Xiaolin and Xiaoqiu hurriedly fled. They both smoked, and if they hadn't wanted to maintain their appearances in front of Katori Kyozuki, they would have used "smoking a cigarette" as an excuse to leave.

After Xiaolin and Xiaoqiu left his office, Katori Kyozuki poured the last bit of beer in the bottle into his own glass.

There was a snap.

Put the beer bottle on the table.

After taking a sip of the beer in the glass, Katori Kyozuki let out a long breath. During this time, every movement and every breath of Katori Kyozuki seemed so long in the eyes of Hayata Saki, who gradually realized that something was wrong.

During such a long time, Hayata Saki didn't even dare to breathe, and cold sweat was pouring down her face.

Finally, Katori Kyogetsu looked at Hayata Saki and spoke slowly, the last trace of smile on his face disappearing:

"What were you laughing at just now?"

Hayata Saki, who was still holding a bowl and chopsticks, began to tremble uncontrollably. She lowered her head, not daring to meet Katori Kyogetsu's eyes, and said fearfully:

"Chairman, I didn't..."

"I asked you what you were laughing at just now?" Katori Kyozuki asked again casually without any fluctuation in his tone.

"I'm sorry, Chairman..." Katori Kyozuki's indifference became the last straw that broke Hayata Saki's inner defense.

However, Katori Kyozuki, whose eyes had already become as ferocious as a beast, showed no sign of mercy when faced with Hayata Saki, who was about to cry. Instead, he continued to press her and asked:

"When you saw me patting my butt on the street, what were you thinking about that made you laugh so happily?"
