Then how's this your date?" ask Yusuke and Mia. All eyes are on them.
"Chairman, are you dating him?" whisky Kouga.
"really?" ask Yoichi heboh.
"That's.we're just..." Mia felt her tongue. Never imagined if this would happen.
"That's right."
.

Ryota did not drink water, his glass stopped 8 centimeters in front of his mouth. He usually doesn't care about other people's business. But hearing Yusuke's words just now he was shocked. But only a little. Then he continued to wet his throat. Yoichi's pair of eyes looked at Mia deeply, as if demanding the truth of the question spoken from her idol's mouth.
Dugm! Mia's right leg kicked Yusuke's left leg. Reawakened the man. That one sentence made the mood awkward. Grandpa Yusuke just smiled a little.
"Um, not true. We were just having lunch together. And that's not counting dating."
Still quiet.
"Sorry to have made the wait. Please!"
All eyes turned to a large plate of meat. Mia was a little relieved because things were a little - just a little bit started to melt. Maybe after this or later when he arrived at the inn the topic of his date with Yusuke will be discussed again. No matter what, he was more focused on filling his stomach. Yoichi is very proficient in baking, he has already turned himself in as a grill. His hands were skilled in cutting in putting fresh meat on top of the hot furnace. The smell of burning flesh slowly enters the sense of smell, tempting the tongue and stomach.
Again Mia was surprised by Yusuke's behavior. The 27-year-old man stuffed the hot meat and put it on top of Mia's rice. All highlighting, Mia smiled stiffly. His right leg kicked Yusuke's leg again. Unfortunately, Yusuke doesn't understand the code. Maybe pretend not to understand.
After dinner, Mia repeatedly thanked Yusuke's grandfather. It feels very uncomfortable to owe Hasegawa's family a favor.
"If there is a chance I will treat you" Mia said, followed by a warm smile.
"really? I like fancy restaurants," teased Grandpa Yusuke. Then received a confident answer from Mia, as luxurious as anything will still be Mia tract. Although after answering this, Mia cursed herself. If indeed that day comes then after eating together he will diet strictly so that his payday is enough for the next few months.
"Where are you staying?"
Silent.
"Ehem..." Suddenly Ryota cleared his throat.
"Ah, t-not far from here. The walk may be about. 20 minutes," replied Mia half clumsily. Kouga and Kei giggled amusedly at Mia's behavior. He is usually very strict.
Walking through the night together. Joking about today's experience. But among the festive guyonan Mia just donated a smile, usually she had a funny thing. He's not like Ryota who talks or smiles. That was because Mia's heart was still on standby for questions about her relationship with Yusuke. While keeping up with the others, Mia tried to imagine some questions along with the answers. But there was no question about it, he could breathe a sigh of relief.
The next day Mia who first woke up was followed by Ryota. The two of them prepared the ingredients to work later while waiting for breakfast from where they were staying. Because Ryota is a quiet man Mia is a little grateful for it. He wouldn't ask anything strange, he thought.
Working on a big house that is quite takes 5 days. After that they plan to celebrate the success if they have arrived in Tokyo. Yoichi's idea of holding a barbeque at Chelsee's restaurant was accepted by all.
In Tokyo, Chelsee is busy shopping for her best friend's barbeque needs. Not feeling burdened at all, he was already as ordinary as that. And he'll buy you high-quality meat.
"Nee, you know what? Yusuke is rumored to have dated."
"really? What from a rich family? Or with an artist?"
Hearing the rumors somehow Chelsee slightly approached while pretending to choose a sauce on the shelf. His female instincts appear if there is exciting gossip especially about Yusuke. Who does not know this famous model? Lately his best friend has also been a little bit involved with the man.
"Let's know, it's just a rumor I heard from my friend's friend."
Chelsee snorted miserably. If the news source of "his friend my friend" it's hard to get certainty. His mind was suddenly uncomfortable.
"What if Mia meant?" his inner.
While preparing for a barbeque party Chelsee persuades Mia to tell him about his blind date. First refused. The second was rejected, as were the third and fourth. But the tenth one was responded by Mia.
Chelsee poked his own lips. While pricking tomatoes on a barbeque skewer. His brain was a little distracted by his best friend's story. At first he agrees that Evan arranged a blind date for his only child. But it wasn't Evan.
"Don't Yusuke really like you?"
"Huh? You read too many romance novels."
Chelsee only scowled because his hobby was caught up with this problem.
"You know about my background, you're far-off"
"Everything is ready!" kei said excitedly. The man doesn't know if he cut the sentence of his team leader. Even so Chelsee could know the continuation. The girl smiled and handed over her work to Kei to be baked.

"I've met the girl twice. I feel like he's pretty good."
Yusuke only smiled hearing his grandfather. His kisses focus on the tea served tonight. Dajeerling. One of his grandfather's favorite teas.
"I don't think he's much different than Evan Carera. The fruit did fall not far from the tree."
Yusuke looked at his father. He's getting curious as to what Evan Carera looks like. How close it has to do with his father.
"I want to meet Evan too. Let's have dinner together like we used to."
"Have you? Is he someone close to our family?"
"Of course he designed all the MaQuin buildings. Then renovate your grandmother's greenhouse. And also our hotel."
From that short story Yusuke knows little about Evan's relationship and his family. The sooner he wants to meet again and talk deeper. It deals with a past that is deliberately covered by his own family.
Mia doesn't know why she could be framing dinner with Yusuke anymore. And this time plus the father and also the grandfather of the man. He regretted following his father's invitation without asking whom he had dinner with. Because Mia's already in place can't just run away. He sure got through this dinner well.
"For so long do not see you" Hiroki softly told Mia. The girl accepted Hiroki's hand department with a smile. He did this to Yusuke's grandfather. But to Yusuke he smiled forcedly.
As usual, the dinner begins with the opening menu. The manners in this meal are not liked by Mia. He's not used to it. And again it makes it longer. Repeatedly he cursed inside. He wanted to leave because the longer he was uncomfortable. Plus Yusuke had been staring at him.
"Mr Evan, you've known my family for a long time, haven't you?"
Hearing that Evan agreed and then smiled.
"And you also know if I don't like pleasantries, right?"
The deg!
Mia stopped scooping her fruit salad. Suddenly he felt uncomfortable with his grandfather's words.
"Can we get closer? About our relationship. Not as a business partner but as a family. I want Mia to live the rest of her life with my granddaughter, Yusuke."
Bingo! Mia's hunch is right. Everyone was shocked except Hiroki. He knew this would come from his father's mouth. Ever since she met Mia, her father kept talking about marriage.
Yusuke was no less surprised just like Mia. He never thought that the end would be like this. He just thinks that dating is enough. She looked at Shouta's face. He's his girlfriend at the moment. Although Yusuke knew it would be strongly opposed by his grandfather. Suddenly his head was dizzy.
Mia's legs try to reach Yusuke's feet. Give a code to reject the thing that he thinks is stupid. Feeling someone nudge his right leg Yusuke immediately looked at Mia, who else if not him.
"It's hard to believe. My daughter is still lacking to be a wife. More being the wife of your grandchild."
Hiroki Hasegawa smiled. Knowing Evan since many years makes him know his nature. The middle-aged man was always low.
"I've lived too long. I have experience judging people. Despite only meeting Mia a few times, I'm sure she's the girl that fits my granddaughter." The old man looked at Yusuke and Mia in turn. Imagine if the two of them were really tied up in a husband and wife relationship. Just imagining her lips smiling happily. Peaceful heart. No loss following the advice of his youngest son to hold a blind date. Even more grateful if the girl is the son of Evan Carera.
Then what about them? Do you agree with this marriage?
