Chapter 268 - Kindly, Explain... Why Are You Here?

The poor assistant was sweating more than usual, and he can't think fast enough on how he would answer the question. 

The truth of the matter was that he had no idea why his G.M. family was allowed to use the Penthouse. The order came from the upper management from Japan.

Therefore, the assistantG.M. was at a loss of why COO Hanada was not informed? Then he arrived in front of him, with an intimidating aura. 

He feels like he would be eaten alive—in contrast, forcing him to tell who was staying at the Penthouse. Therefore, he doesn't know what to do?

While he's gaping and thinking of what he would answer, Koji speaks again while he's patience is wearing thin. 

"So, what is your answer to my question?" Koji asked again. This time, it's louder than the calm one earlier. 

He's trying to scare the man in front of him and hoping it would work.

"Sir Hanada! I'm sorry, but I don't have the privilege of speaking and give the information to you. It was strictly ordered by the general manager not to let anyone know who is currently inside the Penthouse." 

"I apologize, please understand the situation, sir, I'm just doing my job." He apologized and hoping to let it pass. 

Koji was thinking while looking at the assistant manager who was sweating cold and obviously scared. 

"Okay, okay! I understand, and I'm thankful that you are an obedient employee. It's good that you can't be scared easily by anyone, even in me that in just one snap, you can easily be jobless.

"But don't worry, I'm not that kind of person; instead, I will tell the general manager that you can be trusted. 

"Okay, you may go back to work. Meanwhile, I'm going to go up there to find out personally." Then Koji left to go to the Penthouse. 

While Koji was standing in front of the elevator and waiting, Tiny came out of nowhere. When he saw Koji, he was going to retract his step. Unfortunately, it was too late. Koji already saw him.

"Tiny! How are you? When did you arrive with CEO Jones? This is funny, why wasn't I'm informed that his coming? 

"Tell me, is he here because of the project that I'm doing? It good because I need to speak to him. I need his opinion on something." Koji bombarded him Tiny with questions, not giving him a chance to reply.

There was nothing he could do but listen. He was dumbfounded as he stared at Koji while in deep thought.

'So, sir Hanada has no idea what happened in Japan. It's a good thing then. It's hard to know if he is pretending or it was true. We need to be careful.' He thought he continued listening to Koji, who usually does not say more than to sentence to him, for as long as he knows the man.

The elevator finally arrived and opened while Koji was still blubbering his mouth. Tiny could sense that he's nervous, and Koji doesn't want to show it.

A couple of hotel guests came out, while a group stepped inside the elevator. They stepped aside first, and Koji stopped talking. 

However, as soon as they enter the elevator and it's just the two of them. Koji continues his interrogation.

"Tiny, let me ask you something. Earlier when I arrived, I thought I saw miss Gusman entering the elevator, am I correct?" Koji asked without the smile he has on his face earlier. 

Therefore, it could only mean one thing. Koji's now pressing the question and expecting an answer from Tiny. Heaving heard Koji's adamant inquiry, he has to think of some kind of reply, or else...

He first looked at him seriously so he would believe what he was about to say. He was planning to lie his ass out to get out of the frying pan, and for Koji to leave him alone.

"Sir Hanada, in regards to your question... Yes! Miss Gusman was the person you saw earlier. And I was the person with her at that time." That was all Tiny said and didn't add anything else.

"Is that so? Thank you, and you didn't lie to me. Anyway, I'm on my way to the Penthouse to greet CEO Jones, and I have something to tell him, is that okay?" 

Koji only said it was trying to see if Tiny would divulge a little more. He has a premonition that CEO Jones and Miss Gusman have some secret, and he's curious if his hanch was correct? 

He wants to know so he could be prepared. He's planning to court Miss Gusman when the time is right, but if she already in a relationship with his cousin, he has to figure out how to win her over.

Tiny was going to lie once again and tell Koji that Tanaga can't be disturbed. When they heard the sound of the elevator door opening. * Ding!*

Koji was the first one to leave the elevator and walk straight to the Penthouse. While Tiny momentarily doesn't know if he would stop him or ignore it. In the end, he the end he ran in into him to stop him. 

"Sir Hanada! Wait up!" Tiny shouted while quickly running to Hanada

Heard the call and temporarily stopped and waited for him. When Tiny reached Koji, "Sir Hanada, can I talk to you for a moment?" Tiny asked him while his face was serious and not even blinking

"Sure!" Koji answered quickly and also serious. "What do we going to talk about? Is it okay to talk here?" 

Tiny makes sure to talk there because it can be seen in his face that he can't be a move where he's standing and after they speak. He's still planning to go to the Penthouse. 

"Sir Hanada, Miss Gusman is here because sir Jones gave her a vacation while he's still in America. Sir Jones' business is already finished, and he thought of having a vacation for a while. And because he doesn't require Miss Gusman in the meantime, he released her to come back here. 

"The fact is, sir Jones let her borrow the penthouse to be with her family," Tiny explained while not blinking his eyes so that Koji believe it. 

"Is that so? If what you're saying is right, then tell me why are Butler Ruffy and why are you both here?

"If CEO Jones is currently in America taking a vacation, why aren't you guarding him and Butler Ruffy accompanying him? Kindly explain that to me? It doesn't make sense at all." Exclaim Koji while he's staring straight at Tiny... Waiting for an explanation?
