Daichi Isagawa 1

Taking the private elevator down to the 70th-floor, Daichi steps out from the lift after a few minutes. He trails the hallway towards his suite he shared with Kier and Rudolf.When Shun takes over the management of all Empire Hotels owned by Chairman Nicholas Crow, he chooses the Empire Dragon Hotel in Southern Asia to be the main office.This hotel is in a huge mess and Shun transforms it completely. Run by a syndicate Director, the hotel was known in High Society as the home for escort entertainers and the drug is like just a daily food for rich people.To clean this hotel, Shun closed it for a whole month. When the hotel operates back, he used the 71st and 72nd floors as the Offices and the 70th floor as the suites for the Executives and Board of Investors that would stay during important meetings and overtimesDaichi entered this 3000 square foot wide suite with three bedrooms, a living room, a minibar, a kitchen, then a full toilet/bath/laundry room.Wearing blue jeans, sneakers, a gray T-shirt, and a leather jacket, he changes his clothes into black leather shoes, black pants, a white long sleeves polo, then a black and white striped coat.After the mirror is satisfied with his looks, he marches outside toward the private elevator for the executives and board members. The moment he steps out of the lift, the employees' bows and greets him."Good afternoon, Director Isagawa.""Good afternoon," he answered in a very serious tone. This is his usual self when it comes to his duty."Director Isagawa, sir, please read my reports on your table."Daichi stopped, then took off his sunglasses. "What's the matter? Isn't the Assistant Director I assigned to look at them during my absence and important assignment?""Yes, sir. However, the Assistant Director ran away with someone else's girlfriend last night. And he just called me to submit the resignation letter he emailed to me."The young man in front of him began shivering. He must be nervous to receive a lecture on behalf of the assistant director. Damn it. He has some guts huh? Daichi thought."Okay. What is your name?" He asked him then reached out to his ID. "James Sanders. Alright, James, go to my office then sort out all the reports from major to minor cases.""Me, sir?" He pointed to himself.He nods. "Yes, you." He taps his right shoulder. "Don't go home until I am back. I'll read them this evening then I will call for a meeting.""O-okay sir! Have a good afternoon, Director!" James bowed then ran towards the elevator.Daichi continued walking to the Lobby of the hotel when he spotted Captain Ming, the Floor Security Captain."Captain Ming, how is it going?""Director Isagawa, sir, good afternoon." He bowed. "So far, everything is under control of the Director, except for a few serious matters. I already place the reports on your table.""Alright, I'll read them when I am back this evening. Also," he turns around to face the captain. "Bring me all the files of qualified to replace the assistant director. If you like to apply, you should."Captain Ming scratched the side of his face, near the ear. "I'll think about it, Director Isagawa. I prefer to stay in my position but, I will consider thinking about it. I will also recommend others capable of the position.""Great!" Daichi resumed walking to the hotel's entrance. "I need it ASAP.""Understood, sir."* * *Daichi makes a long stride towards his metallic red Range Rover Velar park outside. The waiting boy who brought the car in front of the hotel bowed to him. He thanked him after he got inside his car.He now blended into the traffic then took the road toward The Peninsula Garden. The moment the Wait employees saw his car, they were right away lining up on the side and bows when he got out of his car."Good afternoon, Director Isagawa!""Right, the afternoon is wonderful today," he said while looking up at the sky. "Good work!""Yes, sir!" they answered together.One of the waiting boys walks towards his car then gets inside to park it in the area reserved for Executives.Daichi entered the building and the employees greeted him. He exited in the left-wing where a solar golf cart was waiting. The Peninsula Garden is full of various flowers that bloom in different seasons. He suddenly misses Cassie. One day, he will bring Miss to see this place.The solar cart stopped and Daichi jumped off. He trailed the Garden pathway and entered inside the Glass Garden. The people inside are crazily busy. The crew began installing the stage base on the theme of the show.This 50,000 square meters Glass Garden filled with real trees and flowers inside. He slowly walked towards the stage when his presence was felt, he stopped in the middle and stood still. He put his left hand in his pocket and partly glanced on his right shoulder. He takes off his sunglasses and pauses.A few clicks to be heard. After the photographer is satisfied, he checks the photos and raises both of his arms to give him two thumbs up. John Lewis is an international photographer mostly hired in this kind of event and paid a promising amount. He was a great photographer who impressively caught a perfect human picture.Yes, they know each other. The two men throw a knuckle to each other before John returns on taking pictures of the present models."Daichi!" a woman suddenly jumped on him."Bella..." he throws his arms to catch the woman who hangs on his body. "Hey, why did you never grow up? You still this tall?" he teases the woman.She unhooked her arms on his neck then she gave him a powerful elbow on his stomach."AHH..." he touched his body where the woman hit him."You bastard!"Daichi laughs hard and catches the punches Bella throws."Is this how you thank me?" Bella pouted. She was truly short like 5'2 feet, but she has all the assets any woman would envy."Hmm... look at you! Isn't how marvelous I am?" She gestures her hand from Daichi's upper body then down below. She's the one who makes this suit Daichi is wearing now. Bella just designs this coat for Daichi and no one else in the world who owns it.Bella Thompson is the owner and designer of the famous Bella Collections that are worn by many celebrities and royals.Back in Paris, Daichi and Bella are where they met. One night she was on her way home from her Art class, she was harassed by some French residents, and Daichi saved her...that's how they became a very good friend."So, do you want to join the show? Like the old days."Daichi shook his head. "No. I am here to make sure of the Security during your Fashion Show." This show will be attended by many from all over the world."Come on! I should have the best Asian model on this show.""Lady, I have never been a model," Daichi denies, even if he has a huge photo displayed in Bella's main store in Italy."But you did walk for me back in Paris," Bella tried to convince him."And that's when I don't have money. I was forced to help a friend.""Really!? So that's forcing!? Then I will force you to do it again!" Bella shouted."Eh? No, I won't!""Yes, you will!""No way!"From the distance, Blaire shook her head while watching them acting childish. She glances at Claire who throws dark gazes to Daichi.
