When the person I used to admire, turned out to be a Yandere! - Chapter 20- Anger?
Emiko was unhappy. And reasonably so.
She has planted microchips on each clothing of Haruki’s. On those as well which were brought from his old house. His watch and shoes were also in her traceable range.
She could hear his voice and the people around him but couldn’t see what’s been happening since the camera would have been suspicious and Haruki might have found out while changing.
And thanks to that she heard what Riku said regarding her and his relationship to his friends.
“Cousin huh….” It wasn’t that she was disgusted by the idea of cousins marrying each other but the very idea of being regarded as anything other than Haruki’s lover or wife repulsed her.
If it had been the normal rational Emiko who does millions worth of business deals and handles distinctive kinds of people during her modeling projects, then she might have realized how Haruki was just trying to protect her reputation.
However, the current Emiko has been sitting in her car silently for an hour now without moving even a bit from the same spot she acquired after hearing Haruki’s statement regarding their relationship.
She didn’t even reach her office since the massive revelation Haruki did soon after she dropped him near the Uni.
“That girl Ayumi…she needs to disappear…not only her but that blondie as well….if Haru-kun loves blond hair then I would permanently dye my hair but to allow him near any other woman for whom he needs to lie about our relationship…” Emiko didn’t know how twisted her expression was at the moment.
It was nothing like those anxiety attacks she suffered from time to time since at the moment she had complete control over her mind and body. She consciously thought and reacted to Haruki’s words and made decisions based on them.
She was just about to dial her security chief’s number and tell her to do an urgent job when suddenly someone tapped twice on her car window.
*Tap* *Tap*
Emiko’s fierce gaze turned toward the window where she saw the familiar face standing with a concerned look over her face.
It was her assistant, Kurihara Naomi.
Emiko calmed herself a bit down before she lowered the window and spoke in a hurried tone, “I don’t wanna talk right now. Go-”
“Just a minute, I promise. Please let me in. ”
Naomi pleaded with her fingers resting over the parted car window.
Emiko sighed in exasperation before she nodded and allowed the woman to climb into the passenger seat.
“I have already cleared the whole section of this street so no need to stress about the security camera-” Naomi was cut short as Emiko impatiently stated, “Doesn’t matter. Just tell me what you need and leave me alone. I have a lot of work pending. ”
This wasn’t the first time Emiko had been rude to her and Naomi could understand the reason behind her roughness. Unlike Naomi who works behind the scenes, Emiko has to face all the cameras and quite annoying people from time to time so the pixie-haired assistant is quite used to this behavior of her employer.
However, at the moment, Emiko wasn’t stressed about work or anything related to it, Naomi could tell.
“You are angered because of Haruki-kun, right? Because he said something you didn’t like or maybe some woman is after him?”
It wasn’t a wild guess since Naomi had closely observed Emiko’s actions over the past two years. After reading those diaries and observing Emiko’s behavior whenever the mysterious Haru-kun of hers was involved, Naomi was assured about something.
Emiko was extremely obsessed and possessive of Haruki.
Seeing Emiko’s car location parked near Haruki’s college and knowing full well how Emiko has planted chips on a male’s clothing before (since it was Naomi who helped Emiko to buy so many microchips at once) it didn’t take much for Naomi to deduce the whole situation.
Emiko remained frozen at her spot for a minute before she turned her glaring eyes toward the woman and asked in a threatening tone, “Did you hack my-”
“I won’t dare. It’s just the woman named Harada Emiko, who has been a mystery for many, is like an open book to me. It doesn’t take much time for me to realize that my friend is troubled over something, so please share what’s bothering you so much. ”
Before knocking on the car window, Naomi caught a glimpse of Emiko’s eyes which generally carry a casual vibe, were currently being tainted with such malice that made Naomi rethink her decision of approaching the girl.
But in the end, Naomi has received help from Emiko quite many times in the past. If she could repay the favor, even a percent of it, Naomi would feel satisfied.
“Tell me what should I do? Haru-kun…just called me his cousin in front of his friends! I strongly believe that there’s someone whom he has a crush on so he didn’t want to… ”
Emiko continued to rant for a good five minutes about how agitated she was by being called Haruki’s cousin since in her mind Emiko was even above the post of a wife, kind of like soul mates.
Hearing Haruki’s decision, Naomi barely held a sigh of relief.
‘At least the boy has a clear conscience and he seemed not to be the attention seeker type as well… ‘ Slowly Naomi understood why Emiko was so fond of that guy.
Haruki didn’t introduce Emiko as his girlfriend which surely would have created news worth flashing across the media for a good while. And it was a major plus point from Naomi’s perspective
However, telling Emiko that what Haruki did was right since it could have hampered Emiko’s career was a bad idea. The current Emiko might choke Naomi to death if she tries talking common sense to her friend.
“First drink this and listen to what I have to say. ” Naomi offered water to the girl whose face was completely flushed by all the ranting. She even threw the mask at some point exposing her parted lips and leaking labored breathing.
Thankfully, the area was covered and no CCTV or passerby would see them as three huge vans were now parked around the car in an orderly manner. And even if someone does see Emiko and snaps her picture, it would not take much time to detect the device and deal with it soon after.
“Tell me something, Emi, do you want Haruki to hate you and remain by your side just out of obligation? Do you want to see his repenting eyes whenever he looks at you? ”
For a moment, the water in her throat paused as Emiko thought about such a possibility.
She made her decision then and there as she spoke in a panicked tone, “Without making him hate me, tell me how can I become his girlfriend publicly as well. ”
The determination in her eyes told Naomi that she needed to be careful with her words.
