The grand opening of Elements was supposed to be a lavish affair. While they did not habitually invite the press, their first night was always quite glamorous, with several celebrities making an appearance.
At least, that was the case when the other branches opened.
Unfortunately, the bad publicity surrounding Akira on MR Circle had spread. It was obvious that someone was fanning the flames. It was unclear who the culprit was, but Akira did not investigate this matter. If she spent time on each hater, she would never get a night off.
In any case, she did not mind the negative publicity too much. As long as she had power and ability, she did not think she needed to shout from rooftops or beg people to like her.
When evening came, the first group of guests to arrive were naturally from the Yamazaki family. They were worried about Akira, so they showed up early to cheer her up. Akira met them at the door to welcome them.
