Nanako was used to her father’s playful teasing about her relationship with Charlie.
She wasn’t shy about it either, but his latest comment was too much to bear.
“If Odosan wants to stay in a hotel, I’ll book one for you too!”
She retorted, her voice laced with anger before added, “And if that’s not enough, I’ll buy a whole hotel for Odo-san
to live in!”
Yuhiko Ito chuckled at his daughter’s outburst.
Trying to ease the tension, he said, “Nanako, I was only joking.
Don’t take it so seriously… Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a game to play.
Please keep Mr. Wade entertained for me…”
Relieved that her father had stopped teasing her, Nanako said her goodbyes and hurried off to meet Charlie in the
basement.
She pressed the down button in the elevator lobby, and the doors opened to reveal a stunningly beautiful woman
already inside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe woman was tall, with long flowing hair and dressed in an elegant professional suit that accentuated her curves.
Nanako couldn’t help but be taken aback by the woman’s beauty, but her expression quickly changed to one of
surprise and panic when the woman’s eyes met hers.
The woman standing in the elevator with Nanako was none other than Angela, a strikingly beautiful executive who
had just returned to Aurous Hill from Hong Kong.
Angela had recently signed a contract with Aurous Hill University and was now reporting to the school before the
official start of the academic year.
Today was Angela’s first day on the job, and she was set to complete various registration procedures at the school
before attending a slew of meetings, including management meetings, mobilization meetings, and academic
seminars.
Preparing for the upcoming school year was no easy task, but Angela had a two-week window to get things in
order, thanks to the mandatory military training that all freshmen had to undergo.
Angela was just about to head down to the basement when the elevator abruptly stopped on the next floor.
To her surprise, the woman standing outside was the same woman she had seen walking with Charlie when she was
in Michelle’s car with Maria.
When Angela saw Nanako from Michelle’s car that day, she was shocked by her beauty.
But today, she realized that the woman who had caught her eye actually lived downstairs!
Nanako was taken aback by the way Angela looked at her when they met in the elevator.
In a polite tone, Nanako asked, “Hello, are you the neighbor who lives on the top floor?”
Angela replied, “Y-Yes, I live on the top floor…”
Nanako smiled slightly and extended her hand.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you.
I’m your downstairs neighbor…”
Angela nodded and forced a relaxed smile.
When she noticed that Nanako didn’t press any floor button, she grew curious and asked, “Are you going to the
basement too?”
Nanako casually nodded and asked, “I’m going to pick up a friend.
What about you? Are you heading out?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing about Nanako picking up a friend, Angela couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.
She quickly pressed the floor button and replied, “I was planning on going to work, but I realized that there’s an
issue with my car.
I better take a taxi from the first floor.”
Nanako smiled politely and didn’t think too much of it.
However, when she noticed that Angela was holding a folder with the Aurous Hill University logo on it, her curiosity
was piqued.
“Excuse me, do you work at Aurous Hill University?” she asked.
Angela nodded and replied, “Yes, I’m a teacher at the university…”
Nanako gave Angela a thumbs up and exclaimed, “Teaching at Aurous Hill University requires a doctorate degree.
That’s truly amazing!”
Angela awkwardly brushed off Nanako’s compliment and modestly replied, “A doctorate degree is nothing special.
There are too many people with doctorates nowadays.”
