Chapter 45

A woman with her boyfriend? He must be referring to Lily and Lester. Jin clicks his tongue in secret. Of course, it was her who spilled those details in public. Lily sometimes forgets her surroundings every time she becomes excited over something. And Lester too! Why did not stopped his girlfriend from blabbering in public?
(Oh, I see. Well, it's not a problem anyways. And yes, I know Shiri.)
"Ms. Fujimoto, is it possible for me to—"
(No.)
"Huh? What are you—"
(No. Shiri does not want to meet you.)
"But Ms. Fujimoto, you did not yet—"
(Because I said no, Shiri will also say the same thing.)
"But Ms. Fujimoto, I only want to talk with Shiri for a few minutes."
(Yeah? But Shiri does not want to talk with you. Didn't you get the notice? Shiri withdrew from the limelight because he does not want to be involved in music anymore.)
"But that's absurd! Shiri is a very talented musician! A genius! Why does he want to stop from nurturing his talent?!" Ivan frustratingly asked.
(Who knows? Is that all? Can you lease give the phone back to my boyfriend? Our conversation is over.)
"Ms. Fujimoto, wait! Can we meet in person? I just need to ask a few more important questions."
(Aww. Do you want to see me? Too bad I do not want to meet you again. And stopped sending your men to my restaurant just to see if they find me there or not.)
"That's—"
(Now please return the phone back to my boyfriend.)
Without waiting for Ivan to give his phone back, Jin has already snatches it from his hand. He turns off the loudspeaker first before he speaks with Himari again.
"Himari."
(Hello again, my handsome boyfriend. Anyway, I have to end this call now. Lester is already here and we are going to eat out lunch. See you later, Jin! Much love!)
And again, Himari ends the call without waiting for his reply. Jin can only let out a sigh before putting his phone back in his pocket. Then he turns around to see Ivan still standing in his place.
"Are you Ms. Fujimoto's boyfriend?" Ivan asked which made Jin scowls a little.
"Yes. What about it?" Jin asked him back.
"Did you know that... No. Nevermind that. But is it really true that Ms. Fujimoto knows Shiri personally?" 
"Yes. They are still close with each other up until now." Jin answered. 
"Really? Can she convince Shiri to go back? Shiri is a talented musician! He showed be showcasing his talent in music—Wait! Where are you going?!"
Ignoring his calls, Jin walks away without looking back to see Ivan. Fortunately, he no longer followed him. However, he can still hear the soft curses he says under his breath. Despite the fact that he did nothing today, Jin believes Ivan Hernandez will not stop until he sees Himari again. Probably to convince her about that Shiri.
Jin will never understand how one person can become so obsessed with things like music and art. They claimed that artistic people have distinct minds, habits, and quirks. Fortunately, Jin is uninterested in such things. He would rather spend the entire day in his office than be obsessed with things like art and music.
Each of the managers has their own suite room in Lester's building. Jin opens his room before removing the coat he is wearing. After loosening his tie, he sits on a large sofa and sighs. Fortunately, the previous inspection went well, and he is confident that Bern will handle the remainder with ease. Jin only needs to check the documents left in his office later and will have to wait another week for the next delivery of their weapons.
While he is thinking about work, his phone vibrates in his pocket. When he takes out his phone, he notices a message from Himari. It was the first time she texted him rather than calling him. He also notices there is a photo attached to her message and opens it. 
Himari sends her a photo of herself wearing diamond earrings in the shape of pears. Jin can tell that the diamonds are of high quality simply by looking at her photo. She also mentioned that it was given to her by Lester. 
'Ace gave it to me today! Though he did not mention what is the occasion why he suddenly gave me a gift. Look, Jin! You should ask Lester how to treat a woman right. Maybe you will learn two or more things from him.' 
Jin ignores Himari's comment about asking Lester on how to be a good boyfriend. What piqued his interest was Himari's comment in her message that she was unaware of the occasion today. Is she for real? Did Himari really forget her own birthday?
Maybe. Or maybe not. Until now, Jin still did not know how Himari's brain actually works. When Jin said he could finally read Himari's next move, she would do something unexpected. That woman is the most insane person he has ever met.
Jin clicks his tongue as he attempts to zoom Himari's photo on his phone. Himari appeared to be smiling as usual in the photograph. She was wearing a purple v-neck dress with a silver ribbon on her slim waist that serves as a belt. Her head was tilted a bit showing her neck in the photo. The diamond earrings she was wearing matched her outfit today. It was as if Lester purposely gave those diamond earrings to her because he knows Himari will wear that purple dress. 
Everything is fine except for the massive adhesive bandage around her head. Jin's eyes twitches a little when he remembers the fresh wound on Himari's head yesterday. Although the wound was not enough to threaten her life, it is still a flesh wound that makes it bleed heavily. But the wound is not the most disturbing part for Jin last night.
It was Himari herself. That woman did not cry or flinch when she received that wound. She continued to act as if nothing had happened and spoke normally with him and her men last night. Himari even had the energy to complain about him last night. 
He rarely sees a tough woman like her in the mafia world. However, for a woman to not react or show any reaction after being shot in the head is not normal. The only time she reacted was to complain about the sticky blood on her cheek.
But still, Himari is looking good wearing that dress. It helps her look more sophisticated with the way she wears it. Jin had seen a lot of women wearing the same type of dress, but it looked so flashy because of how they wore it. But who is he to judge anyway? He has no knowledge of women's fashion.
