The elevator opened and Itami stepped out into the all glass penthouse suit of The Kontorōru Building. The lights of the Tokyo Tower could be seen flashing in the distance as Itami slowly approaches the modern chrome and glass desk just in front of the window. A Japanese man in a smart black business suit stood next to the desk and the man sitting in the chair that faced away from her spoke English in a smooth baritone. The man ended his call and turned to face Itami as she neared the desk with a wide smile on his face.
He was a man approaching his middle years with a touch of gray beginning to show in his wheat colored hair and neatly trimmed beard. He looked every inch the gentleman in a suit that must have cost at least five million yen. “Would you please grab a drink for our friend, Kazuo,” the American said, to the Japanese man. Kazuo bowed slightly and went to the bar in the corner and fixed a whiskey on the rocks for both Itami and the boss.
“Thank you very much for joining us so quickly upon landing. I know you must be exhausted from your travel.” The American spoke in perfect Japanese. “I would have waited until you had more time to rest, but I am leaving for our office in Argentina in less than an hour and wanted to thank you personally.”
“Please thank nothing of asking me to come. Your word is my will, Te, “ Itami replied, with a bow.
“You words do me great honor Itami, as do your actions. You have made a great sacrifice by having to endure so much time in the presence of that psychopath Lucipher Crosse, but by doing do you have set many plans in motion.”
A rare smile crossed the face of Itami. “It was my pleasure to kick that weak little man in the head and watch his crumble to the ground. It has been an even greater pleasure to know of the long term torment that he now faces.”
“You are as cold hearted as I was led to believe,” Te said chuckling. “I think you will find even greater pleasure then in knowing that not only is he forever banned from IWF Television, but his own brother has purchased that abomination he called a cathedral out from under him.”
Itami takes the offered drink from Kazuo with a nod of thanks. “Now that does warm my heart very much. That man deserves any misfortune that comes him way for the things that I witnessed.”
“I agree completely.” The phone on the desk rings and Kazuo answers it and tell the person on the other end that the boss will be down in a few minutes. “Itami I apologize that we cannot speak longer, but I must catch my flight. This man is Kazuo Harada he is my personal assistant when I am here in Japan. When you travel to the United States to continue your work for IWF you will be going along with you to act as translator. If you need anything he is able to reach the Yubi directly.”
“Thank you for all that you have done for me, Te.” Itami bows deeply. “I am not sure where I would be if you were not here to guide me.”
“I’m sure you would be doing just fine. Until next time Itami.” The man returned the bow before he made his way to the elevator. Kazuo moved to grab his bags but the American waves him off. “I think I can manage Kazuo. Please be sure that Itami is set up in comfortable accommodations for the next week and make all arrangements for your trip to America, first class of course. After all she is a part of Kontorōru Corporation now.”
