AT THE EVENT (ORGANIZED BY JAPANESE)

AT THE EVENT (ORGANIZED BY JAPANESE):

"Mr. Aaron! Thank you so much for coming, I was waiting for you desperately", Hiroshi said and Aaron smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Hiroshi, for inviting us", Erik replied.

"I am sorry my English is so bad but I am trying to improve it", Hiroshi replied.

"Not at all, not at all, your English is much better than my Japanese", Aaron replied and started walking around from a distance he saw Alayah, she was wearing a simple off-shoulder maxi of cyan color, and a wavy hairstyle enhanced her beauty. Soon she noticed that someone is looking at her consistently, she round around and saw Aaron, who was still looking at her. Aaron started walking towards her. He was looking handsome in ash grey colored two pieces; he came close to Alayah and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Excuse me? What is it to you? What I do outside of work is not something I explain to my boss", Alayah replied.

"Ha-ha, well yes you are right, are you interested in Japanese culture?" Aaron asked.

"Yes, I am, I would like to inform you that I have many interests other than cooking", Alayah replied.

Erik looked around and saw Aron who was talking to Alayah. He smiled at them at first, but as soon as he realized she was the same girl from the pub, his smile disappeared.

"Well have fun", Aaron said.

"Have fun, Mr. Aaron", Alayah said and Aaron left.

"Put your nose into this as well, since everything is yours", Alayah murmured.

Mr. Grendel Davis with her wife entered the event, his assistant was already there.

"Give me the updates", Grendel said to his assistant.

"Sir, Mr. Hiroshi is with Mr. Aaron as always, and Erik is here, too. Grendel held her wife's hand and started walking towards Hiroshi who was standing with Aaron and Erik.

"Her, Hiroshi, without these fabulous events, we would never get to see you; every time you visit our country, Mr. Aaron entertains you as your partner", By saying this Grendel looked at Aaron with hate.

"Grendel, quickly say what you want!" Aaron said.

"Oh, Mr. Aaron sorry I didn't notice you are here too; Mr. Hiroshi I know Mr. Aaron is a talented and successful businessman but as you can see we are really good in business too ", Grendel said.

"Mr. Grendel?" Erik called from a distance.

"What?" Grendel replied.

"How long will we have to endure your boring and ill-prepared speech?" Erik asked and Grendel ignored him.

"Mr. Grendel I just want to tell you that you have picked the wrong business partner", Grendel said and Hiroshi replied in Japanese and asked his translator to tell Grendel whatever he said.

"Thank you for coming to the event; Mr. Aaron and I have a long-standing business relationship that will never end", the translator said.

Alayah was talking to a few Japanese girls, she was holding a drink, she turned, and behind her, Hiroshi was standing with his wife, Alayah didn't see them and the drink in the glass fell on Mrs. Hiroshi.

Soon the manager of the restaurant arrived, "how careless you are! Do you know who is he?

"I am so sorry, it was an accident", Alayah tried to explain.

"Just leave…" the manager was saying but was soon interrupted by Aaron.

"The lady is with me", Aaron said soon after approaching them.

"Is that so? I am so sorry Mr. Aaron, have fun", the manager said and left.

"Thank you, Mr. Aaron, but I want to say sorry to Mr. Hiroshi", Alayah said.

"There is no need to say sorry, it was an accident I noticed, but please don't make another scene, I can ask my driver to drop you off if you want", Aaron said.

"No thanks", Alayah said.

"Okay, one more request, please don't drink more, okay?" Aaron requested and left.

"What? He thinks I was drunk that's why I did that? How stupid this man is!", Alayah murmured.

Soon a waiter with a tray of drinks approached Alayah and asked, "Mama would you like to take a drink?"

"Yes, give me the one which has alcohol", Alayah said, took the drinks, and started drinking.

Erik and Aaron were talking with each other.

"Who was the girl you were talking to?

"Miss Alayah, the cook", Aaron replied.

"The cook at home?" Erik asked with a shocked face.

"What is it?" Aaron asked.

"Nothing my brother, nothing important", Erik replied.

"Erik! What is it?" Aaron asked.

"I saw her in the pub, she was hanging out with men", Erik said and Aaron started thinking something, then she looked at Alayah who was walking towards Hiroshi, and she appeared to be drunk by the way she was walking. She came close to them and started saying something in Japanese.

The couple was shocked to see her, "You can speak Japanese?" Mr. Hiroshi asked with a shocked face.

"I can speak but not fluently, but I love your culture", Alayah said.

"Oh, that is so great", Mrs. Hiroshi said.

"Even I take classes to learn Japanese", Alayah added.

"Please join us", Mr. Hiroshi said while offering her a drink.

Aaron understood that she is drunk so he walked towards her, "Oh, see Aaron is here too", Alayah said.

"Mr. Aaron, the manager told me that the lady is with you, she is so sweet", Mrs. Hiroshi said.

"Sweet?" Aaron asked while looking at Alayah.

"Yes, Aaron I was telling them about the rabbit", by saying this Alayah started laughing loudly and Mrs. Hiroshi joined her and said something in Japanese.

"Mr. Aaron! My wife is asking that when will you put a ring on this lady's finger?" Mr. Hiroshi asked.

"Ring?" Aaron asked and started looking at Alayah.

Mr. Hiroshi held her wife's hand and asked her to dance, Aaron and Alayah were looking at them from a distance.

"Mr. Aaron, come join us, dance with your lady", Mr. Hiroshi said.

"Miss. Alayah, I think we should dance, as the music is Japanese, if we didn't dance Mr. Hiroshi may get disappointed", Aaron said and held Alayah's hand and they started dancing.

Mrs. Grendel was watching them from a distance, it felt like she didn't like that girl with Aaron.

"Do you know who that girl is?" Mr. Grendel asked.

"No, and it is none of our business I am feeling low I want to go home", Mrs. Grendel replied.

"Sure", he said to his wife, "Dance Aaron Dance! I will dance with you later, ha-ha it will be fun", he said and left.

"I am surprised, you dance so well even if you are drunk, well I should not be surprised as you are in a habit of drinking", Aaron said.

"I don't drink, I just don't drink, stop blaming, I drink tonight as I was angry", She replied.

"Do you always have to talk so much?" Aaron asked and started looking into her eyes.

"You smell good", Aaron said.

"It's jasmine", Alayah replied and stopped dancing.

"Mr. Hiroshi! Can I leave now?" Aaron asked.

"Sure, I am so happy that you came, having coffee in your garden is something we miss a lot", Mr. Hiroshi said.

"Fantastic", Alayah said, "even I fall in love with that house, no, no, no, that is not just a house but a mansion", Alayah said.
