In the afternoon, Rie Sakai and two friends from the Rose Club sat in their living room drinking this year's Beaujolais new from France.

The doorbell suddenly remembered that instead of getting up to open the door, a full-time maid newly hired at home took the initiative to open the door.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" The maid is a Japanese from a small part of the Kansai region, and although the Japanese she speaks is not the standard Tokyo accent of the Kanto region, it is not lame.

"You're new here, aren't you?" said Watanabe Hayaki, stunned for a moment, and then quickly recovered.

"Yes. Excuse me, who are you looking for?" said the maid with a smile that kept her professional attitude.

"I'm looking for Rie, Rie Sakai. Listening to your accent, it should be from Kochi Prefecture in Shikoku. I, Brother Justice, Rie, and you are all fellow villagers. Watanabe said bluntly.

When the maid heard her say this, although it was the first time she had seen each other, she believed that the relationship between the woman in front of her and herself, who was a fellow villager, was extraordinary to her master's family.

So, she didn't let the other party wait outside the door, and took the initiative to step aside. Watanabe Saki led his new boyfriend Hiroshi Kimura and walked straight in.

As soon as Sakai saw Saki Watanabe, she smiled and greeted, "Saki is here! Come and sit down with us to drink this year's Beaujolais new wine from France." ”

She paused at this point, only to notice that she was followed by a strange man. In his hand he was also carrying a wooden box of cantaloupe.

Watanabe Saki walked up, sat down in no hurry, and took the initiative to introduce: "This one is my boyfriend Hiroshi Kimura. ”

Hiroshi Kimura was able to get into here through his girlfriend's relationship. He was not only happy, but also apprehensive.

He first took the initiative to send the cantaloupe to Sakai, and then made a very formal forty-five degree bow and said, "Hello, Mrs. Kishimoto." I'm Hiroshi Kimura. ”

Rie Sakai blurted out, "Mrs. Kishimoto, I haven't officially married Masayoshi Kishimoto, when will I change my surname?"

"I'm sorry. I lost my words under it. "Hiroshi Kimura didn't lose his words, but he thought about it before he came, how should he call each other?

Calling her by her name directly by herself is too abrupt and impolite. After all, someone else's social hierarchy is clearly laid out there.

What's more, he clearly knew that the other party was his president's fiancée. It is absolutely impossible to be called Mrs. Sakai, and no one else wants to marry a man surnamed Sakai.

As for Rie's name, the relationship between me and the other party is not close to this level at all. Naturally, this is absolutely not to be screamed.

If you call her Miss Sakai, I feel that the relationship is not close enough, and it is too alienated. As a result, Mrs. Kishimoto was the most appropriate title for him.

Watanabe Saki immediately began to defend her boyfriend, and the topic of the round was diverted: "What about Brother Justice?"

"He went out in the morning. I didn't ask, so I don't know where he went. Do you have something to do with him?" said Rie Sakai, holding a red wine glass in her right hand and gently shaking it in a clockwise rotation.

"It's fine. This cantaloupe was personally selected by Hiroshi Kimura at the Roppongi fruit shop. Saki Watanabe smiled and sat down in an empty seat.

"Thank you. Rie Sakai was not in a hurry before introducing her two friends from the Rose Society and said, "This one is Mrs. Hashimoto." The one next to her was Mrs. Nagayama. Both of them live here. ”

Saki Watanabe greeted with a smile, "Good afternoon, both of you." I'm Rie's best friend, a small one, a fellow villager, and a neighbor. ”

"Since you're Rie's friend, you're also our friend. Mrs. Hashimoto smiled slightly.

Mrs. Nagayama just glanced at Hiroshi Kimura, but looked at Watanabe and said, "What does your boyfriend do?"

As soon as Kimura Hiroshi sat down, he suddenly stood up again, and took out the business card boxes he was carrying with him very quickly, and presented them to Mrs. Nagayama, Mrs. Hashimoto, and Rie Sakai with both hands one by one.

Mrs. Nagayama looked at the statement on the business card that she was the head of the third section of the personnel department of the headquarters of the hard gold group. She couldn't help but smile meaningfully.

Mrs. Hashimoto also read Kimura Hiroshi's business card, and said lukewarmly: "Isn't the hard gold group Rie your family?"

Hiroshi Kimura replied first: "I am working in the Hard Gold Group. ”

Rie Sakai looked at the business card and put it on the table and said, "How did you and Hayaki meet?"

"When I attended the Group's Management Trainee Course, I was the person in charge. I fell in love with Hayaki at first sight. "Hiroshi Kimura said it extremely high-soundingly.

"Looks like you're not bad! In my husband's company, it is absolutely forbidden for subordinates to have office romances.

Once discovered, either one of the two resigns, or they both resign and leave. Mrs. Nagayama was straight to the point.

"Mr. Kishimoto's management style has always been very humane. The relationship between me and Saki did not violate any of the Group's current company rules and regulations. Hiroshi Kimura explained.

"No one else is secretly engaged in an underground affair in the office, so why do you criticize the two of them?" said Mrs. Hashimoto with a smile to Mrs. Nagayama.

"I'm not being critical, I'm just curious. Mrs. Nagayama then laughed as well.

"Sit down and talk, aren't you tired of standing?" said Rie Sakai directly.

Hiroshi Kimura sat down slowly. He sits upright. He has also been engaged in personnel work for a certain number of years. A pair of eyes that can recognize people and distinguish people are still valuable.

I'm not stupid, and I can't tell that the other two women who can sit and drink with Rie Sakai are not as ordinary as Satanabe Saki?

The reason why he pursued Watanabe Saki in the first place was nothing more than to be able to walk in here today with the help of her and Rie Sakai's good girlfriend relationship, and then to get to know more and wider contacts step by step in the future, and climb up little by little.

At this time, the maid brought two empty red wine glasses in the shape of tulips to Hayaki Watanabe and Hiroshi Kimura respectively. She wouldn't forget to take the cantaloupe on the table before she turned to leave.

Hiroshi Kimura took the initiative to stand up again, and the first person to personally pick up the crystal gooseneck bottle filled with red wine and pour wine was not his girlfriend Saki Watanabe, but Rie Sakai.

Then, he used this as a refill for Mrs. Hashimoto and Mrs. Nagayama, thus showing his respect for them.

After that, he poured red wine into his empty glass. Finally, he poured red wine into Watanabe's glass.
