"Actually, I'm a scholar of the Takuma, my parents were friends, we were classmates at Waseda Business School, in one subject, I think English."
"Is that so, good to see you, I'll go ahead" Jackie said.
"Sure, nice to see you too."
"Who was that guy?" Jacky asked.
"He was my classmate in English at Waseda," Ruthie said.
"He is working here?" Jacky said
"Who is working here?"Katsuo asked.
"Hello, ojii-chan(grandpa), my classmate in English at Waseda is working here," Ruthie said.
"Who?" Katsuo said.
"I did not ask his name, I forgot to ask him also, actually he is familiar but I forgot what subject we were classmates, and he reminded me. He is your scholar Grandpa." Ruthie said.
"That could be Kosei Yamada-san, he is my friend's son. He is good." Katsuo said closing the folders with papers he just finished signing.
"We are here just to check if your Ok Grandpa" Ruthie said.
"I'm happy that you visit me here, how's school? "Katsuo asked while calling her secretary to send some snacks.
"We will be having our marketing project. Anyway, Grandpa, I need your help from feasibility study to market concept, to marketing trial." Ruthie said while helping the secretary preparing the snacks and juice.
"What's your initial plan? What business do you intend?" Jacky said.
"What about fashion, beauty products, apparel, or sports along those lines," Ruthie said.
"I think that's good, I want to be part of that, who knows we can produce a good business out of it!" Jacky said
" Wow! Thanks, Sissy, love that!" Ruthie is so excited and holds Jacky's hands.
"Ok submit to me your proposal and feasibility study, who knows I will give you your initial capital!" Katsuo smiling.
"Yehey! Thank you, Grandpa, Give me five days, I need to do some survey, study, and monitoring of existing businesses related to this, and what we can modify or innovate." Ruthie embraced Katsuo.
"Don't do that alone without a companion. Ask your mother if she has available staff to help you" Katsuo said.
"I'll call her tonight Grandpa!" Ruthie said.
At the house, before going to bed, she called her mother. Maketa's staff are all busy because of the ongoing construction in General Santos City and Tagaytay KatIchiKeta Takuma Homes for those with Alzheimer's, they are all in surveys and busy with the hiring of personnel and monitoring and training of caregivers and staff of all the homes.
"I can't give you one now Ruthie, they have much work in the deadline, we may hire a new one to assist you, but ask your Grandpa if who he can recommend," Maketa said.
"Ok Mother," Ruthie said then the video call ended and she continues to work on her laptop.
Katsuo promised to send someone to assist her.
Then at school, she is preparing her questionnaires and survey form. She is in the library. Then Katsuo called her to meet her assistant in the canteen, he is holding a map and a red envelope. She went to the canteen, she looked around, and she did not see anyone new in the school. She knew almost everybody and familiar they have familiar faces. Where is she?
"Hello, Miss!" Someone is calling.
"Hello, you are the one at Grandpa's office? Right? I did not get your name yesterday" Ruthie said.
"I'm sorry, I'm Kosei Yamada" Kosei said.
"So you are, I'm looking for a girl to assist me that Grandpa sends, do you know her? Is she here?" Ruthie said.
"A girl? I don't know a girl but I was the one send by Boss Katsuo-sensei" Kosei said confused and smiling.
"What? you are?" Surprised and shyly smiled.
"Wait a minute," Ruthie said and call Katsuo.
" Grandpa, you send a guy to assist me, I thought, you will send me a girl," Ruthie said surprised.
"I trust that guy Ruthie, and he knows Tokyo more than anybody, and you will be safe with him in case some yakuza or bad guys make a false move, he knows what to do. Just tell him what to do, actually, he has the same project like yours, if it is allowed, you can have a joint project." Katsuo said smiling, amused of Ruthie's surprise.

"What about "Jacky's Rose" because Ruthie is "Ruusu" in Japanese" Ruthie said.
"I like that!" Jacky said.
