Chapter 287 - What Is Love?

As Koji was VIP level 1, he was the first to be admitted. This time, Koji was alone throughout the flight. He decided to go to sleep so that he would not look tired when he arrived in America.

But the case was that he was so excited that he and Ashley would meet again, he couldn't feel tired at all. He read a magazine – nothing happened. He watched a movie – nothing happened.

When he could no longer bear it, he asked for wine with the hope that it would help him. By the mercy of God, he did not make a mistake as in just two glasses, and he was knocked out.

When a stewardess saw that Koji fell asleep, she covered him with a comforter and turned off the TV to make sure he could sleep well.

Eighteen hours later, Koji woke up because of the pilot's announcement that they'll be landing for a few minutes. Koji unconsciously smiled at what he heard, which the stewardess thought was for her and blushed.

Koji was excited when the plane landed at George Bush International Airport. Koji just brought his carry-on luggage because he didn't plan on staying for too long.

Koji plans that after he talks to Ashley, he would return to Japan immediately as he still had a lot of work waiting for him.

Right after Koji exited the airport, he already saw the limousine driver holding a placard, and his name was written. He came near the person, "Hello sir, I'm Koji Hanada."

"Good evening, President Hanada. Welcome! This way, please!" The driver said as he made way for Koji.

It was only a matter of time before Koji got into the limousine and was on his way to Houston Woman's Hospital. Thoughts were forming in his mind while they were going to the Hospital.

'What would I say if Ashley asked me why I'm here? Would she believe if I say that I am here because of the business matter? How about the Hospital? What would I say? He asked why I'm there? ' Koji's questions that were formed by his thoughts. He didn't notice that they had already arrived and were parked in front of the Hospital.

"President Hanada, we've already arrived at the hospital." The driver said while standing at the door and waiting for Koji to come out.

Koji did nothing but get off and thank the driver. "Thank you! I don't know how I'll be staying here. Will you wait here, or should I call you when I'm done?" Koji asked the driver.

"I'll just find a parking place, when you've already finished, you can just call me, and I'll be waiting for you here, sir. "Koji just nodded and walked inside the Hospital.

As soon as Koji entered the Hospital, he immediately went straight to the elevator to go up to the seventh floor where Ashley was. This is the information provided to him by the investigator.

Koji was close to the elevator when he saw Grandma Hanada and Harumi, followed by the two bodyguards. Koji quickly hid so that the Chairwoman could not see him.

"Why are they here?" Koji whispered to himself, curiously.

"Call Tanaga and tell him that we're going where he is, and we have something to talk about. It's a mistake that i didn't tell him that Ashley is his wife, and he's going to be a father." Grandma Hanada said to Harumi while they're passing by, which is clearly heard by Koji.

Koji was dumbfounded and could not move because of what he heard. He did not know if he would continue and go to Ashley or not. Eventually, he decided to go to the Hotel first and then he would think about what he would do.

As soon as Koji entered his room, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. He did not realize that his tears were already dripping.

He is in so much pain. Throughout his life, he has only fallen in love, just to fail without being able to confess. He blamed himself for letting him learn to love Ashley even though she had no interest in him.

Koji was too self-conscious when he suddenly thought of what he had heard. It seems that Tanaga will not accept Ashley as his wife. It only meant one thing; then, Tanaga would divorce Ashley, and it would be free. That means he still has hope in the end.

It is a reason for Koji to lighten up, and he thought of going to the brand office tomorrow so that he has a reason why he's there. After that, he would tell grandma Hanada that he was in America for business purposes.

With that thought in mind, Koji quickly took a shower and prepared to go downstairs to eat dinner.

Koji was relieved when he got off and headed to the Hotel's restaurant. As he stood and waited, he was surprised to hear Tanaga's voice behind him.

"Koji! What are you doing here?" Tanaga asked curiously while his forehead creased.

"CEO Jones, CEO Go, how are the two of you?" At the same time, Koji bowed to give respect to the two people in front of him.

"President Hanada, how are you?" Jeff asked as he held out his hand to shake hands.

Koji accepted it and shook hands with Jeff. The waiter arrived after the handshake and was about to bring Koji to his Table.

The waiter smiled beautifully, "Good evening, CEO Go, sir. Your Table is ready! Please follow me." The waiter smiled and didn't bother to face Koji.

"Thank you!" Said Jeff, then he invited Koji to come with them.

"If you're not expecting anyone, why don't you join us? So that we can also talk about what is already happening inside the THJ group. If I remember, I have a big share of your company. Hahaha!" Jeff jokingly said then he held Koji shoulder by his arm not to let him reject his offer.

Tanaga, who was still frowning, and thought so far away, did not notice that Koji looked at him severely. That Jeff saw and suddenly wondered why?

"Koji, let me ask you ... What do you know about this woman who they say is my wife?" Tanaga asked directly while still frowning.

"Huh? Since when did you have a wife? Why didn't I know this? It's your wife, why would you ask me? One more thing, who is the woman you're talking about?" Koji pretended and did not reveal that he knew who Tanaga was referring to.
