On Monday, Kenichi and Sean went to the company as promised. Not only them, Nick was also requested to come. Three of them went to three seperate meeting according to their expertise.
Nick and Sean were surprised that they were well welcomed. Eventhough, At this moment Nick had collaboration with a European company, but he never imagined that his company had good reputation across Europe and UK. Sean worked there before but It had been a long time. He did not expect they still remembered him.
Different from the other, Kenichi was unknown. His reputation was not valued as good as Nick and Sean. They knew he once led a project in Switzerland, but it was insufficient to prove his ability.
High management level knew his identity. Therefore, while they welcomed to colaborate with Nick and Sean, They were reluctant to do the same with Kenichi. They were under impresson that he was choosen because he was the eldest grandson of the family. Did Kenichi mind about it ? He actually did not care if he got the project or not. He still had his businesses to run. He just had a go to pkease his paternal family.
Initially, Kenichi, Sean ans Nick just needed to come for two days. In pratice, they were asked to come again for few day. They missed three days of fun, they did not want spend their day stuck with business. So they all only agreed to come for one more day.
While the ladies and the elders were strolling around, The men exclude Grandma Anderson and Mr feng were sitting together enjoying their coffee. Hans used this this opportunity to mock the brothers "Bro, you two are here for our sister not for business. And You, Kenichi, should you pay more attention to your enggagement ?"
Nick was not provoked by Hans criticism "Of course I'm here for my sister".
"Same here" Sean added.
Kenichi was as cool as other two. He learned alot for them "My wedding is my responsibilty, I'm working hard for i. about the enggement, it's my father responsibility"
"lame excuse" Alan sneered.
"Seems juniors have no respect to seniors" Sean raised his voice.
"Daddy !!" three boys ran toward the man. then they went to their respective father.
Cacha was behind them. She had Jordan with her "Your wife said that you have to look after them. They are too active, we can't manage them"
She handed Jordan to his father "Josh will be here soon with Al and Hewitt"
She went to Kenichi side "Darling, come with me" Then she spoke on his hear with very low voice "Help me with Nana".
He did not ask why, it was his golden chance to spend quality time with her "sure, lets go. Bye bro.. see ya. Have fun kids"
He finished his last sip of coffee and went away, leaving behind a group of men who we4e busy baby sit their sons.
"Just wait until he has kids" Nick said as he watched the youngest couple gone. the rest nodded, they were with him.
On saturday, the entire Anderson family were at the mansion. Jenn and Sue who were busy preparing for the party had done with everything. Bruce and Andrew were also there, no work on saturday. The whole family finally had time to accompany theFeng.
They were devided into few small groups. The elders were having a light conversation about their life when they were young. Some of the ladies were talking about experience raising kids. Some were talking about fashion and cooking, some were just gossiping. Only the men who were all in one big group talk about same old boring conversation, business"
Kenichi knew very well that his brothers on law did not actually want discuss bussiness this moment. He was also the same. "Dad, uncle. you two are really businessmen. you two use me and Cacha relationship to take advantage"
"What advantage ?" Andrew glared at his son
"Free advice and free labour from my brothes in law" Kenichi pointed at Nick and Sean. He was not kidding.
" Bulshit !!"
As the result, Kenichi was kickes out from the group by his father and his uncle.
"Remember, you have to pay for consultation fee. By brothers need income to feed the family" It was Kenichi last sentences before he left the group.
As soon as he left the room. He saw Ann.
"Can I talk to you ?" Ann had been looking for opportunity to talk to Kenichi eversince she was back. Unfortunately, they were all too busy.
"Sure" Kenichi more or less knew what the topic was.
Ann took him to the balcony.They just stood there for while. Kenichi did not say anything, he was waiting for Ann to open the conversation.
"Kuro had told me about his family"
Kenichi nodded "Everything ?"
"Yes. Including your matter too"
Kenichi was very calm "So ?"
"why are you part of them ? what happen if they know ?"
Kenichi was very clear who Ann referred at 'they' "Kuro and his family are good people. They're just same like the rest of businessmen. it's just their businesses are different"
"Do you guys ever do anything unlawful ?"
Kenichi snorted "Do you think, they can live peacefully for generations if they did ? have you check if we have any criminal record ?"
"Oh..." Ann smiled to her self "So, you won't againts me of I'm willing to be with him, right ?"
"I told you before, you're adult. You two decide your own life"
"Good then. We should protect anf support each other for our own happiness. Deal ?" Ann grinned happily.
"What do you mean ?"
"If they knew about him, it means your secret also had been exposed. Not only me in trouble, you're too" Ann winked.
"Do you think I care ?"
"Of course you do. You don't want her family take her away from you. Am I right? "
Kenichi understood what Ann tried to say. Did not matter if they married or not, If Cacha's family knew his secret, they would not let her with him.
Kenichi chuckled "make sure you go as low as possible"
"What do you mean ?"
"just like Kimiko does. Make sure you don't go around showing off who you're. Stay low profile forever. your arogantcy will only bring harm, not only for you but for the entire family, including me"
"I know. so it's a deal then" Ann held her hand out. Kenichi smiled "Deal"
He held his hand out as well then They both shook hand "have you told him that you don't mind ?"
