A little surprise
Having dropped that for Ichihara Jun and whoever was watching this unfold to hear, I waited for a while to see how they would react.
Sure enough, they didn’t disappoint me.
Ichihara Jun immediately raised his voice, calling me out for bluffing.
I ignored his ramblings. It wasn't much different than what he was yapping about yesterday, after all. He's flaunting his superiority over me even though all he did was to front his surname.
Although I couldn't see Ichihara-san’s husband, someone was probably reporting to him about what was happening here.
Furthermore, unlike yesterday, where there were at least a few tough-looking men in suits accompanying Ichihara Jun to intimidate me, there's only one of them and he's probably a driver.
After taking a sidelong glance at our surroundings, I put my attention back to my front where Marika’s bodyguard also appeared unconvinced with my answer.
