At that time, she had been extremely nervous in front of Charlie. 3
As she had been bewildered and at a loss for what to d o, she had handed Charlie the cup of milk tea that she was holding in her hand. She had even told him that she wanted to give him the milk tea. However, she truly did not expect Charlie to actually take the cup of milk tea from her before taking a sip of the drinks. 6
Moreover, Nanako had just been using that straw before Charlie took over the cup of milk tea, and he had drunk using the same straw. That kind of indirect kissing was the most ambiguous thing that Nanako had ever done with a man in her lifetime. 5
Nanako had also been constantly thinking of that indirect kiss ever since that day.
As she thought about Charlie, she subconsciously raised her slender finger as she began writing Charlie's name on the surface of the water. 2
There were soft waves and ripples on the surface of the water, but the water did not retain any traces of anything that she wrote on it.
It was precisely because it was such a fleeting trace and because the words were gone in a flash that Nanako felt even bolder and more confident. She wrote Charlie’s name over and over again on the
surface of the water without leaving any traces behind, s
That night, Nanako could not fall asleep even after a long time.
Soon, the sky in Kyoto gradually cleared up.
The heavy snowfall that the Kinki Regional Meteorological Department had forecasted did not come. 7
Early the next morning, the weather forecasters stated that due to the impact of the air currents, the heavy snowfall that had originally been estimated to fall last night was estimated to be delayed. The snowfall would probably come two to three days later than initially expected. 4
Nanako felt somewhat regretful because of the delayed snowfall. 4
She got the feeling that even the weather was going against her.
Lord Schulz had been holding a morning meeting every morning in the main hall of the mansion for the past twenty years.
This morning meeting was similar to the meetings that the kings would usually have in ancient times. All of the descendants of the Schulz family would have to report the progress of their various businesses and industries to Lord Schulz during the daily morning meeting. 4
Lord Schulz would also give any of his orders and instructions during this meeting.
The Schulz family was very prosperous and flourished, and there were more than thirty descendants and relatives who participated in the morning meeting every day. 3
The rules for the morning meeting were also very strict. The old man would be seated on a half meter high platform as he faced everyone else in a very majestic manner, s
His sons and daughters, grandchildren, and relatives would all be seated below him in several rows according to their various status and seniority. 1
At this time, Lord Schulz was seated on the main seat on the platform that looked like an imperial throne as he looked at all of his descendants and relatives seated below the platform, and he said in a majestic voice, "The recent international crude oil situation continues to cause turbulence in the economy, and the global economic downturn has caused the international import and export trade to be affected to a certain extent. At present, many shipping companies are already struggling. This is a good time and opportunity for the Schulz family to start bargaining and going against the trend. We will have t o accelerate our collaboration and partnership with the Japanese!"
