Naomi and Kanako (ナオミとカナコ)

Are you sure you won't regret it?

It's alright.

This is the only way.

Oda. It's been a while.

Kanako. What happened to your face?

Nice to meet you. I'm Tatsuro's sister, Yoko.

Kill him.

Once he gets angry, nothing can stop him.

Shall we just...

...kill your husband?

Naomi & Kanako

Are you sure you won't regret it?

Hirosue Ryoko

It's alright.

This is the only way.

Uchida Yuki

We're still friends after this, right?

And also partners in crime.

In recent years, Chinese customers have become...

One month ago

...increasingly important to our department store.

Among them is Chairman Chen.

He is an influential and well-connected Chinese businessman.

This private trade fair will be an excellent business opportunity for us.

- Please serve them well. - Yes sir.

These are our product lineup.

Furs. Watches. Jewelries. Wine, and more.

Art Magazine 'Modern Art Selection'

We have prepared the best products the chairman would enjoy.

Is that really enough?

Mr. and Mrs. Chen are also well-versed in the arts.

They have also taken a keen interest in Japanese modern art these days.

I believe we could further strengthen our relationship with the chairman...

...by including our own art pieces to the lineup.

- Do you have a concrete plan? - Yes.

I recommend the Kachomon vase from Master Kunimura Sosui.

As for Mrs. Chen, the Imperial Series from Ono Crystal.

Looking at their purchase history to date,...

...I believe they will be satisfied with it.

These art pieces will be placed in a spot visible from the entrance.

This should win the chairman over at the start of the trade fair.

Oda. That was a wonderful plan.

Thank you.

Chief. About the transfer we discussed the other day...

I'll be counting on you from now on too.

Aoi Museum 40th Anniversary Exhibition

This is Oda, Aoi Department Store Sales Dept.

Certainly. I'll be there right away.

Ouch.

Ouch.

Hey. Wait... No way!

Daisuke! Aren't you glad?

Going on a walk with your beloved Oda.

Oda. I have a favor to ask.

Yes.

I'm at your service.

My wife and I are planning to go on a Mediterranean Cruise for three months.

That's wonderful.

You will need to pack a lot in that case.

Would you like me to get ready a huge luggage?

Could you look after Daisuke during our trip?

During our previous trip, we left him at a pet hotel...

...and he broke down from stress.

He broke down?

You're the only one...

...we could rely on.

Of course you're the only one.

My apartment is tiny and pets are not allowed.

Listen up. In sales, customer relations is everything.

Trivial acts like this will affect...

...affects our sales. I know that.

Just when will I get a transfer to Aoi Museum?

Why would I transfer a trusted salesperson...

...to another department?

I cannot afford to give up any of our clients.

- See you. - See you.

Wait.

Kanako

Daisuke. Daisuke... Stop it.

Naomi?

Sorry. Kanako?

It's been a while.

It's been six months.

- We haven't met in that long? - Yes.

But since we live in the same area now,...

- we could meet up anytime. - Yeah.

- Come on in. - Thank you.

I live two stops away, so it's really near.

- That was why we moved here. - Thanks.

You know, if I'm happy I'll start hanging out here.

But your husband's here as well. I shouldn't intrude on your happy family.

I always felt bad about calling you.

Seriously? I didn't call you either because of your work.

Next time, you can call me anytime you want.

Your new home is amazing.

Oda. It's been a while.

Thanks for having me here today.

Your new home looks great.

Thank you.

We exceeded our budget a little.

But since Kanako is always home...

...I wanted to give her the best possible home.

- Right? - Yes.

Tonight's dinner was made by Kanako.

She enrolled at a culinary class and her cooking improved a lot.

She's basically an expert now.

Her cooking is far better than food sold outside.

Stop it, Tatsuro. You're making it hard for me.

Why?

I'll get the door. Stay here and catch up with your friend.

Thanks.

Kanako. You lied to me.

You wanted an ordinary life.

You said your dream is to build an ordinary family and protect it, right?

You live in such a nice apartment. Your husband's an elite banker.

And he's so nice to you. How is this ordinary?

I'm happy for you, Kanako.

Thanks.

You're also getting transferred to the museum soon, right?

Your dream's coming true at last.

You have to let me celebrate for you then.

Sure.

Welcome.

Sorry, I'm late. A souvenir.

It's cream puff.

Nice to meet you. I'm Tatsuro's sister, Yoko.

Planning & Development Manager - Hattori Yoko Touo Real Estate Residential Pte Ltd

Aren't you the one who gave the friend's speech at Tatsuro's wedding?

Yes.

I knew it. Thought you looked familiar.

- Sis. Have a seat. - Thanks.

You're early today. Didn't you say you had a party?

Yes. A matchmaking party.

- You're settling down? - No way.

- Here. - Thanks.

But you joined the party...

A matchmaking party is useful for business...

...since I know the background of the people there.

If I know their income, background, and preference...

...I could better recommend a property that suits their needs, right?

I see.

That's why I don't need you anymore. Too bad.

Cheers.

Oda. You work in the Sales Dept. at Aoi Department Store, right?

Yes.

Naomi is really good.

She has the trust of many wealthy customers.

Stop that.

That's right. Maybe Tatsuro could help you in some ways.

She's right.

I specialize in investment and assets management.

I could assist your clients with life planning.

I see. So we're not here to celebrate but to discuss work, huh?

I'm different from you, Sis.

I'll go prepare the desserts.

Tatsuro, you want seconds?

Sure. Anything's fine with me.

Okay.

I'll help you.

That was incredible. I was a little overwhelmed.

Noami, you're attached, aren't you?

Daisuke, right?

When I called the other day, he was by your side, wasn't he?

Don't hide it. You deserve a wonderful boyfriend.

I guess so.

If you're getting married, introduce us beforehand, alright?

There's no way I'm getting married.

Are you alright?

I bumped into the door the other day.

If you're really getting married,...

...you have to let me meet him beforehand.

Alright.

What's wrong?

I just felt happy...

...when I realize we could meet up again like before.

- No way. - It's true.

Let's go.

Welcome and enjoy shopping with us!

Nakamura. Raise the banner.

Listen up. Chairman Chen and four other executives from the Chinese Association,...

...will be here with their wives today.

You will attend to a couple each.

This is bad!

The chairman said he wants to introduce his business friends.

That's wonderful.

Amazing. Our sales are going to skyrocket.

You fool. How are we going to serve them all by ourselves?

Welcome to our trade fair.

When I told them Aoi Department Store is holding a private fair...

...everyone said they wanted to come.

Ladies and gentlemen. Please write down your name and address in this book.

Come here.
