When Yahiko heard Nanako's promise, his voice softened slightly as he asked, "Nanako, have you eaten your lunch yet?" Nanako replied truthfully, "Eminent Father, I continued training after returning from the stadium so I have not eaten lunch yet." Yahiko hummed as he said, "That's good. Since it is also noon now, I think you should just ask Jiro to stay and have lunch with you then. That way, you would have already done your best to serve and entertain him on behalf of your father." 9 "Ask him to stay for lunch?" Nanako could not help but feel a little reluctant.

When her family was teaching her feminine etiquette, she had always been asked to maintain a sufficient distance from men outside. In addition, Nanako had been obsessed with combat and fighting for many years. Therefore, she did not have much contact with men at all. 1 Aside from her own family members, Nanako had never dined privately with any young men although she was already all grown up. Even her assistant, Hiroshi, had never had the opportunity to eat alone with her. 10 However, Nanako could hear the strictness in her father's tone and she knew that it would be pointless for her to object to his instructions. So, she said," Okay, Eminent Father. I understand..." Yahiko replied in satisfaction, "Nanako, our family has a very important collaboration with Kobayashi Pharma that is currently in progress at the moment. So, you must not neglect or offend the other party. Do you understand me?" Nanako hurriedly replied, "Yes, I understand, Eminent Father." 1 Nanako could not help but sigh helplessly as soon as she hung up the phone. After that, she called Hiroshi and said, "Tanaka-san, please helpto entertain Mr. Kobayashi first. I was sweating a lot when I was training earlier so I need to take a shower first." Hiroshi quickly agreed. After that, he turned around to look at Jiro before he said, "Mr. Kobayashi, please wait for a moment. Our eldest young lady has just finished her training and she needs to take a shower first. She will arrive shortly." When Jiro heard that Nanako was finally willing to meet him, he felt very excited deep down in his heart. However, he maintained his composure and he said calmly, "Okay, Mr. Tanaka. I will just continue waiting for Miss Ito." 7 About ten minutes later, Nanako, who had already taken a shower, changed into a simple and plain set of Japanese casual hclothes.
At this time, there were no traces of the years that she had spent practicing combat and fighting. Instead, she looked like a gentle, traditional Japanese woman, s After that, Hiroshi brought Jiro to Nanako's presidential suite. When Jiro saw Nanako, he was shocked! He could not help but marvel in his heart. Oh my god! How could this woman look so beautiful and pure?! 1 Her eyes were clear and lustrous. She looked like a work of art that had been carefully and meticulously carved. Her oval-shaped face was fair and flawless. Her exquisite and refined nose was just like a piece of treasure in this world. Her soft and thin lips that were as pink and tender as cherry blossoms were very charming and alluring, s In Jiro's eyes, Nanako was just like the crystal-clear water that was flowing down from the top of Mount Sylvia, into the Heavenly Lake. She was dignified, quiet, gentle and also a little cold. 5
Jiro fell deeply in love with this woman based on this fact alone. He even secretly swore in his heart; "No matter what it is I must take her as my Wife! I won't have any hesitations or doubts at all even if I have to marry into the Ito family. Aside from her, there's no other woman who is even more perfect in this world!" 9 Jiro desperately tried to suppress the deep and strong desire that he was feeling for Nanako but Nanako could still see the desire that he had for her in his eyes.

However, she could not openly display her dissatisfaction and o.m dislike. Therefore, she could only say politely, Mr. Kobayashi, I'm sorry for making you wait for such a long time." 1
Jiro hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no. Miss Ito, you don't have to be so polite with me. Pwas the one who took the liberty to chere to see you. I was the one who was being rude by appearing so abruptly. I hope that you will not mind it."
