"Get used to it, from now on things will be that way. I don't want to beat around the bush with you anymore. I want to be completely honest and open with you. I no longer want to hide anything," Haruka paused and grabbed his bag. He pulled out a silver-colored envelope and slid it across the table.
Lila looked at the envelope with wide eyes. She knew what it was even before she opened it. 'He knew?' Lila thought she hid it well, but it seems like Haruka already knew about it. The job Soichiro gave her a few months ago, but she had yet to complete it.
"You don't have to worry, Lila. I already knew what you were up to from the very start. I mean, even when you disguised yourself as Kiku Ari. I was already doing some background digging."
"That's too straight forward now; you were researching me?"
"And you weren't?" Haruka questioned. "Look, I'm not trying to fight with you here. I just want you to know. I will always be there for you."
