WAKE YOUR DREAMS
Call that bastard here.
*.·:·.✧.·:·.*
At the Giosek and M. Corporation,
"What! That girl is waiting at the reception room?" The middle aged man who stood by the large glass windows shouted at the lady who informed him that Kiyoko was in the reception room.
"That old vixen is coming today. Tell that girl to go away. Don't let the vixen meet the girl. Go quickly."
"Then should I tell her to come another time."
"No! No! That old vixen would get to know. It's too risky. Tell her that we cannot do anything. The deal is off."
The lady bowed and then hastily left the office room.
"Shit!" The man threw the cigarette in the ash tray.
Kiyoko was sitting in the waiting room.
Her mind was filled with what happened at the hospital earlier. She took a deep breath and shook her head to dismiss all of her thoughts.
'I should think about how to settle the deal here.'
'I can do it!'
Just when she was encouraging herself in her mind, a lady entered the reception room and hurriedly walked towards her.
"Miss, the Vice President is busy. He cannot meet you and he told me to inform you that nothing could be done any further."
"Huh…?! But we talked a day ago…"
"Please you are asked to depart."
Kiyoko was flabbergasted but nevertheless she picked up her backpack and the tube container on her shoulder and exited the building.
Her mind was a mess. She blankly walked on the pavement.
'Is it really over?'
She was hopeful that Zehan would get into the institution.
'But…?'
She halted on her steps.
She turned back to look at the mighty glass building.
Just when she was lost in thoughts, a sudden noise attracted her attention towards it and she hastily looked towards the source of the noise.
A car screeched on the corner of the road not too far from her.
A man in black suit, who was driving the car jumped out of the car and quickly opened the door at the back of the car.
"Boss…!"
He supported an old lady to walk out. The old lady was at a bad state, she was sweating profusely and her whole body shook.
Many of the people on the streets halted to help out the lady. Kiyoko hurried forward.
The old lady was in the brink of unconsciousness. Her eyes bulged out with agony.
"Take her to the hospital." said one of the people.
The man in black suit nodded his head and hastily tried to move the old lady back into the car.
On seeing the symptoms of the lady, she instantly remembered something she read in a book she once read in the library some time ago.
"Sir, does granny have diabetes?"
The man in black suit who was supporting the old lady said," Yes…She is having."
Kiyoko quickly took out a candy out from her skirt pocket and put it forward towards the man.
"Feed this to her quick. She is having low sugar level."
The man seemed like he finally realized. He remembered it happened to his boss a few years ago.
He quickly took the candy and put it inside the old lady's mouth.
The people who were standing looked at the girl with disbelief.
After about five minutes,
The old lady slowly regained her colors on her cheeks, and she weakly opened her eyes.
"You did a good job, little girl." A woman standing behind Kiyoko patted her back. Another lady beside her showed her a thumb up and smiled.
Kiyoko smiled, she was glad that old lady was feeling okay.
"Thank you, Miss" The man in black suit said and smiled at Kiyoko.
Kiyoko nodded her head. She blushed. She has never received so much appreciation before.
"You should take her to the hospital for a checkup." The woman who was standing behind Kiyoko said.
"Yes." The man in black said and bowed to them gesturing a thanks to all of them who were standing there.
Most of them started leaving then after.
Kiyoko stared at the old lady who was sitting inside the car staring back at her. The old lady gave a weak smile and lifted her hand to gesture Kiyoko to come closer towards her.
Kiyoko smiled back but she hesitated to come forward.
The old lady said something to the man and he came forward towards Kiyoko. He bowed deeply and then continued.
"Miss, Thank You for saving my boss."
Kiyoko bowed her head and said," It was something that everyone should. Please don't feel pressurized. I will take my leave."
"Please don't, my boss wants you to come with her. She wants to convey her thanks to you. Please don't refuse."
"Umm…"
"Please Miss. I request you." Sensing Kiyoko's hesitation, the man requested more earnestly.
The man opened the car door for her.
Kiyoko hesitantly entered the car and sat down beside the old lady.
The car started its engine soon afterwards.
The old lady grabbed Kiyoko's hand.
"Thank You, young lady."
"It's alright, Granny….Sorry Ma'am." Kiyoko stammered.
The old lady smiled.
"Please call me Granny. I will feel happy."
Kiyoko let out a slight smile.
"What is the young lady's name?"
"Kiyoko Watanabe."
"Oh my…! I am also Watanabe. I am Yuri Watanabe."
Kiyoko bowed her head and smiled.
"I want to give you something. I feel obliged to give back something whoever helps me. Please don't refuse me."
"But…."
The car slowly entered the Giosek Corporation building.
Why were they entering here?
Kiyoko glanced out of the window.
"You must be wondering why we are entering here? Well I am the CEO here."
Kiyoko could not believe her ears.
'She is the CEO here.'
"Boss, should we not go to the hospital? We should get a checkup."
The man in black suit, who was driving the car said.
"No don't I am alright now. Just call over Dr Haji that should do. It will only be a chaos if we go the hospital. Those damned board members will try to take over my position."
"Alright Boss, I will call over the doctor."
The old lady turned back her attention towards Kiyoko, who was lost in thoughts.
Kiyoko made up her mind. She would not let go of this opportunity that came by her in such a dramatic manner.
They entered the elevator which took them straight to the CEO office which was the topmost floor of the building.
Kiyoko was made to sit on the lounge.
The office room was spacious and comfy. The long glass windows overlooked the busy Kyoto central.
The secretary left a cup of coffee for her.
The old lady returned after a short while after a quick check-up.
"How was the check-up, Ma'am?"
"Won't you call me granny?" The old lady sat on the opposite couch and chuckled.
"Granny..."
"I am totally fine. But the doctor increased my medicines."
"That's good. Your medicines will occasionally decrease after a few months."
"Yes. That's what I hope."
"Granny, please carry some glucose drops with you every time when you go out."
"Alright" The old lady smiled and sipped her tea. She then continued," Young girl, please tell me how can I repay you?"
Kiyoko thought for a while before taking a deep breath as if she made her mind prepared.
"Someone I know actually was not able to give the art examination held by Giosek as he met with an accident…"
"Who is this someone you are referring to?"
Kiyoko flushed and then replied without hesitation," My cousin brother."
"I see. So, you want me to give admission to the Tokyo Institution for your cousin."
"Yes…"
"Kiyoko listen the Giosek examinations are conducted every ten years and so many students look forward for this exam for so many years. The examinations are already over and the results are already announced. I don't have the power to allow someone in the institution like this."
Kiyoko retorted," I have brought the donation money. Please give him a chance. Please…"
"Donation…?"
The old lady was confused. She turned her face to look at her secretary. The secretary also had the same expression as the old lady.
Kiyoko fumbled through her bag to take out the documents and kept the document on the table.
"Here is the document which was given to me. I have already brought the money. Please give him a chance I can also show you some of the paintings drawn by him." Kiyoko opened the tube container, and took out a painting and rolled it straight.
It was a painting of seven white horses running on the beach.
The old lady gently took over the drawing in her hands and stared at it. Then she rolled it back but kept the drawing on her lap.
She glanced over at the document and gestured her secretary to come forward.
Kiyoko was confused at what was happening. But she could very well understand that the something was wrong from the tense behavior of the old lady and her secretary.
"It was the Vice President who gave you this document right?" The secretary asked her.
"Yes…"
"Call that bastard here." The old lady bellowed, shocking Kiyoko.
