Chapter 216: That’s Enough

Itakura Misaki hurried to her workstation early in the morning.

She rushed to her computer, quickly entered the computer password, and finally clicked the [Sign In] button one minute before she was late.

"Phew~ I caught up."

Itakura Misaki patted her chest, which was heaving from running, and let out a long breath.

"Did Mr. Akikawa go to exercise?"

Itakura Misaki glanced at the position of Akikawa Kyousuke next to her and found that his cell phone was placed on the table.

This means that Akikawa Kyousuke has arrived at the company early.

Now that he is unemployed, he is probably exercising in the company's dance studio.

Just as Itakura Misaki shifted her gaze from Akikawa Kyousuke's workstation back to her own computer, and firmly stated in her heart that she must choose a suitable job for her artist today.

Suddenly I noticed that the atmosphere among my colleagues around me had suddenly changed.

Itakura Misaki, who has been in Wonderful for several months, is naturally no stranger to this situation.

Every time at this time, there must be a big star appearing on their floor.

Itakura Misaki turned around with anticipation in her heart, and then her eyes lit up.

"Ms. Yoko!!"

Itakura Misaki felt that she was very lucky today as she actually met Okino Yoko early in the morning.

However.

Itakura Misaki's excitement did not last long.

Because she saw Yoko Okino walking straight towards her.

Normally, she should be very happy if something like this happened.

But three murders occurred in the short five days when she accompanied Akikawa Kyousuke to Hakone for work.

Although this time Akikawa Kyousuke was not the victim.

But what happened after the Hong Kong Film Festival is still vivid in my mind.

Itakura Misaki still couldn't help feeling scared, and was a little worried that Okino Yoko would blame her.

"Thank you for the bath powder, Ms. Itakura. It's really useful."

Itakura Misaki's worries did not come true.

After Yoko Okino came in front of Misaki Itakura, she gave her a very sincere and touching smile.

Yoko Okino's smile stunned Itakura Misaki and many artist agents around her for a moment.

Yoko Okino's smile is so beautiful, just like a movie scene that has been carefully crafted countless times.

"No, it's okay. As long as Miss Yoko finds it useful, that's fine."

Itakura Misaki was very happy when she heard Yoko Okino thanking her.

"It seems that Mr. Akikawa gave the bathing agent to Ms. Yoko early on."

Itakura Misaki thought in her heart.

My artist really kept his promise and always took the things he promised me to heart.

Just when Itakura Misaki was still immersed in the afterglow of Okino Yoko's thanks to her, she heard Okino Yoko softly ask:

"Speaking of which, why didn't I see Akikawa-kun?"

"Mr. Akikawa should be working out in the dance studio."

"How is his health during this period?"

"It's pretty good. Although Mr. Akikawa is still thin as always, his appetite seems to be bigger than before, and his physical strength seems to be much better."

"Oh, that's good."

After confirming that Akikawa Kyousuke's physical condition was getting better little by little, Yoko Okino felt relieved.

Itakura Misaki looked at Okino Yoko's expression and thought to herself:

'Ms. Yoko still cares about Akikawa-san as always.'

"But if that's the case, why doesn't Ms. Yoko call Mr. Akikawa herself?"

However, as soon as this question arose in Itakura Misaki's mind, she figured out what was going on.

It must be that Okino Yoko guessed that Akikawa Kyousuke might hide the truth in order to prevent her from worrying.

So I guessed that he came to ask me while Akikawa Kyousuke was away.

At this time, Akikawa Kyousuke, who had finished his exercise and took a shower, came back wearing a T-shirt.

And Okino Yoko was the first to notice Akikawa Kyousuke and greeted him with a smile:

"Akikawa-kun, good morning."

"Good morning, Ms. Yoko."

Itakura Misaki watched the brother and sister from the side as if they were normal seniors and juniors in the company, keeping a distance from each other and greeting each other.

"They are indeed siblings. There is no flaw in their acting skills."

'Even though they look so similar, the distance between them doesn't make people think of their true relationship.'

Itakura Misaki sighed in her heart.

"It seems like Akikawa-kun's work isn't going well lately?"

"Yes, so far, except for the stage play I completed with Miss Yoko before, I have never completed any work normally."

"Don't worry, Akikawa-kun is so handsome and has good acting skills, he will definitely get a new job soon."

Many people around heard Okino Yoko praising Akikawa Kyousuke.

But no one was surprised.

Yoko Okino is known for her good temper, and she is never stingy with her praise for younger artists in the company.

After exchanging a brief greeting with Akikawa Kyousuke, she saw her agent Tanaka Sae waving at her.

So he followed the agent and left the second floor area.

"Yoko, you came all the way to the second floor so early in the morning, weren't you just here to praise Akikawa-kun for those few words?"

Sae Tanaka looked at Okino Yoko, who seemed to be in a very good mood, and directly exposed her thoughts.

"That's right!"

Yoko Okino did not hide anything from her agent and admitted it generously.

"Sister Sae, don't you think Kou is very handsome and outstanding?"

"His acting skills and temperament are indeed good, but other aspects may be a little lacking."

Sae Nakata gave a fair evaluation with her professional vision.

After she said this, she looked at Yoko Okino, somewhat worried that she might be unhappy with her comments about her brother.

However, she did not see any dissatisfaction on Yoko Okino's face.

"But Akikawa-kun's luck seems to be bad recently. He always encounters murders."

"Do you want me to arrange some work for him that would give him better exposure?"

"With his good looks and acting skills, as long as the show has good traffic, he will surely be able to attract a group of loyal female fans very quickly."

Nakata Sae whispered to Okino Yoko.

Given the relationship between Okino Yoko and Akikawa Kyousuke, providing this level of help was simply a matter of course.

However, what surprised Nakata Sae was that Yoko Okino actually put away her usual gentle smile.

Then he looked at himself with those eyes as blue as the sea.

"That's not necessary, Sister Sae."

"There is no need to help Kou do extra things, and Kou does not need to get any traffic."

"It's enough for him to just be an unknown little artist like he is now."
