"Mm, I know, Teacher. I will study hard."
"Teacher, have you eaten? I have a case I don't quite understand, can I ask you?"
"Hello, this is Kazuha. Ah, Teacher? Mm... okay..."
"According to Article 25 of the Economic Law, all labor..."
It had been half a month since returning from Tokyo. Kazuha, this girl, was extremely busy. School during the day, studying law at night, and chatting on the phone with Eri Kisaki from time to time...
Heiji even suspected whether Eri Kisaki's daughter was Ran or Kazuha; their interaction was simply terrifyingly frequent. But it didn't matter, as long as the girl liked it.
Accompanying a high-pitched cry from Kazuha, she lay heavily on Heiji's body, her face flushed and breathing heavily.
Heiji held Kazuha in his arms and gently covered her with the quilt.
"Are you tired lately?"
It took a while for Kazuha to recover. She shrank into his arms and shook her head gently: "Not tired."
Busy with school during the day, studying law with Eri Kisaki at night, how could she not be tired?
"Really." Kazuha looked up, her beautiful eyes shining: "Heiji, turns out Teacher is only serious on the surface. In private, she's as gentle as a big sister."
Heiji smiled faintly and gently pinched Kazuha's nose: "Go to sleep."
Regarding Eri Kisaki, he always felt that this woman seemed to have some prejudice against him. Hopefully, it was an illusion.
Days passed like this.
Kazuha studied for school while learning law with Eri Kisaki; Sonoko also studied while learning management with Suzuki Ayako. Occasionally, they expressed their longing to their lover.
The two girls lived very fulfilling lives every day.
Heiji was also happy to relax.
In the evening, after returning from school, Heiji went for a run as usual.
A black Mercedes-Benz GLS AMG stopped next to the Hattori house. The door opened, and Vermouth, dressed in black casual clothes, got out. She glanced at the Hattori house, a smile curling her lips, and walked into that house on her long legs.
Kazuha was reading the Legal Daily when her phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, this is Kazuha."
"Kazuha, long time no see."
Hearing the voice on the phone, a flash of pleasant surprise passed through Kazuha's eyes: "Sister Chris, is that you?"
Vermouth leaned back in the boss chair, swinging her long slender legs: "You girl aren't angry? Does it not matter at all that I stole your boyfriend's car?"
"Hehe, I don't believe Sister Chris is that kind of person," Kazuha said with a giggle.
A smile flashed in Vermouth's beautiful eyes as she swirled her wine glass: "That's not necessarily true. If I'm short on money, I might sell it."
Kazuha was lying on the bed, swinging her legs: "It doesn't matter, it's Heiji's car anyway. Just remember to treat me to a nice meal, Sister Chris."
"Oh, the little girl actually doesn't speak up for her own man. Careful Heiji doesn't punish you," Vermouth teased.
"Hehe~" Kazuha smiled mischievously.
"Little girl, want to come over and play?"
"Come over?"
"I'm right next door to your house now, very lonely. Come over and keep me company quickly."
Vermouth's voice carried a charm that no man could resist.
"But, I'm at Heiji's house."
Kazuha's beautiful face blushed. Seven days a week, she spent at least five at Heiji's house. Fortunately, their homes were only a street apart.
"Idiot, I mean next door to Heiji's."
"Ah~" Kazuha stood up abruptly: "Sister Chris, you bought the house next door?"
She vaguely remembered that the asking price for that house was twenty million yen.
"Guess!"
Vermouth said mysteriously.
However, there was silence on the phone, only the sound of wind.
A moving curve rose on her red lips.
Vermouth didn't hang up. She stood up from the chair and walked towards the door.
Ding dong~~!!!
The doorbell rang.
"Sister Chris, guess where I am."
Kazuha's mischievous voice sounded from the phone.
Vermouth opened the door, looking at Kazuha with a smile.
"Sister Chris~~!!!"
A bright smile suddenly bloomed on Kazuha's face as she threw herself into Vermouth's arms.
Vermouth's body stiffened suddenly, unused to such intimacy, but soon relaxed naturally.
An hour later, Heiji returned, frowning instantly.
"That woman Vermouth is back?"
The two girls were chatting happily when the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Sister Chris, is it your friend?" Kazuha asked curiously.
Vermouth thought for a moment, a seductive smile curling her lips: "It's my boyfriend, you know?"
"Ah, Sister Chris has a boyfriend? Congratulations."
Kazuha congratulated her sincerely.
"I'm a bit tired, Kazuha, help me open the door," Vermouth laughed, pursing her lips.
Kazuha didn't think much of it and stood up to open the door.
Her eyes widened suddenly. Outside the door was actually Heiji...
"Heiji, how did you know I was here?"
Kazuha quickly let her lover in, holding his arm with a look of happiness.
"My stolen car is back, how could I not know where you are?"
Vermouth actually bought this house; clearly, she intended to stay for a long time. Just didn't know what scheme this woman who practiced mysticism was plotting now.
"Heiji, long time no see."
Vermouth greeted with a smile.
A faint smile appeared on Heiji's lips: "From the day you left until now, a total of 32 days. According to the car rental company's price, fifty thousand yen per day, the rent should be 50,000 yen times 32 equals 1.6 million. Plus taking without asking, bad behavior, and emotional damage fees, the rent doubles. Total 3.2 million yen. Cash or transfer?"
Silence filled the house!
Kazuha was dumbfounded.
"Pfft~!!!"
Vermouth couldn't help laughing out loud, uncontrollably, without a trace of acting.
"Heiji~~!!!" Kazuha rolled her eyes at Heiji.
"You're not allowed to plead for her." Heiji glared at Kazuha: "If I don't make money, how will I support you and the baby in the future?"
Instantly, Kazuha's face turned as red as a red apple.
Vermouth shook her head: "Heiji, do you think I have money to give you?"
"Would a big star have no money?"
The smile on her lips froze. Vermouth looked straight at Heiji, silent.
"Heiji, you say Sister Chris is a big star?" Kazuha asked in shock.
"Chris Vineyard. Daughter of the famous American actress Sharon Vineyard, and a famous actress herself. Disappeared from the public eye a while ago, no one knew your whereabouts. Just didn't expect you came to Japan."
Heiji stated Vermouth's superficial identity.
"Sister Chris?"
Kazuha looked at Vermouth in shock.
After a long while, Vermouth took off her sunglasses, revealing that exquisite, mature face.
"Wow, so beautiful."
It was Kazuha's first time seeing Vermouth's true face.
Vermouth smiled, looking at Heiji with interest: "How did Heiji know?"
"Guessed it from seeing your news photos occasionally."
Heiji couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with Vermouth. He took out his phone and handed it to her: "This is my bank account number. When do you plan to transfer?"
Vermouth was instantly speechless, taking his phone resentfully.
