Chapter 64 Ryoko Arrives
The group of men from Sakura City's publishing houses froze on their seats after hearing Sayuri's threat.
They could not believe that the entire time, they were walking according to Sayuri's plan.
Yes, since the beginning of the episode, this was Sayuri's plan.
Theo only came to know what was happening last night.
After hearing her genius plan, Theo was even more impressed by Sayuri's efficiency and resourcefulness.
He was even more pleased that such a good person oversaw his company.
"Miss Haruno, don't you think that is taking things too far?" Peter asked with a nervous tone.
"I think the opposite. You all took things too far. Didn't you just threaten my employee?" Sayuri said with a cold voice.
Peter shut his mouth; his company was already living through scandals. They could not afford another one.
"Miss Haruno, we are so sorry. We will take our leave, and do not come to your company ever again if you drop taking charges against my company." the yellow-haired man said while sweating profusely.
"Yes, me too, Miss Haruno." the other two men also promised to leave the Fuji Jump alone in exchange for the dropping of charges.
Peter saw his competitors admitting defeat. He didn't have any other option other than admitting defeat too.
While all of them were leaving the conference room, Peter glared intensely at Theo.
'This is not over. I have to go back to Sakura City with the results optimal. If the legal way did not work, I can only use dirty ways...' Peter thought evilly.
"Sayuri, you were so awesome! I didn't know you could be so badass!" Theo exclaimed with a laugh after the group of men left the room.
"Thank you" Sayuri said giggling.
"So, is everything okay now?" Theo asked.
"I think so. The only publishing houses that came in contact with us these days, were the four of them. And I don't think any other will come after us in a short while of time." Sayuri said.
"Great, now we can expand our company through the country without impediments." Theo smiled.
Before Sayuri could reply to him, they heard a knock on the door of the conference room.
"Boss, there is a woman downstairs saying she's from Sakura City. She is after a job here in our company." Sayuri's secretary said after entering the room.
"Sakura City?" Sayuri looked at Theo, and they both nodded at each other.
"Tell her to come here." Sayuri said.
"What do you think this is?" Sayuri asked Theo after her secretary left.
"Hmm, I don't think she is with them. Operating alone is a risky move while probing another company. She must be after a job here." Theo replied with a pensive look.
While they were talking, Ryoko Riverdale was seating in the waiting room of the Fuji Jump's building.
She was super nervous; this meeting was going to decide if she could continue working with what she loved.
After deciding to leave Sakura City on Monday, Ryoko started selling everything that she had so that she could start a new life in another city.
Ryoko was raised by only her mother, she never met her father, Ryoko's mother never mentioned him. Ryoko was happy that at least she had a mother.
But unfortunately, when Ryoko was 20yo, her mother got diagnosed with terminal cancer. 6 months later Ryoko's mother died.
Ryoko was heartbroken, but she fought and moved on with her life to finish her college studies. She knew that was what her mother would want.
After she got her University Degree on her graduation day, instead of going to a party, she went to the cemetery to show her mother that she did it.
She learned to live with the pain of living without her mother, but she would believe that her dreams would be shattered by a fat bastard.
After seeing a little hope of working in her dream job, she did not hesitate in jumping the bridge.
Even if she did not get the job, she would not regret it.
She was tired of Sakura City; this city gave her mixed feelings.
It was the city where she lived so many memories with her mother, but she only could remember her mother dying here.
It was the city where she graduated from a star university to work in her dream job, but she only could remember how her career was ruined by a bast***.
She wanted to start anew.
She sold all her stuff and boarded the plane towards Elffire City with only her clothes and things left by her mother.
Ryoko was thinking about all that as she waited in the waiting room.
"Miss? You can go to the second floor." the greeter said suddenly, waking Ryoko of her reverie.
"Thank you!" Ryoko said gratefully.
She stood up and walked towards the elevator.
She arrived at the second floor and a lady was waiting by the elevator.
"Miss Riverdale? You can follow me." Sayuri's secretary said.
Ryoko nodded and followed the woman.
"Hmm excuse me. Can I know who is the boss that I am meeting?" Ryoko asked.
"One of them is the Director Manager of the Fuji Jump, Haruno Sayuri. And the other... you don't have to know who he is. Just be respectful with him as he is another boss of the company." the secretary replied.
She didn't say who Theo was because everyone in the company knew that they should not tell others who Theo was in the company.
Ryoko nodded and took a deep breath before she entered the conference room.
As she entered the room, she saw two people talking while smiling seated by the table.
One of them was a woman with childish features, but her eyes gave a wise and mature feeling.
The other was a handsome silver-haired man with godly facial features.
Ryoko was surprised that the pair were in charge of this company.
They were so young!
"Miss Riverdale, right?" Sayuri smiled at Ryoko after she saw the girl entering the room.
Theo and Sayuri looked at Ryoko and analyzed the girl.
She was a beautiful girl with short blue hair and green eyes. She looked like a model because she was too beautiful. But the thing that did stand out more than her beauty was her eyes.
Her eyes passed a multitude of emotions.
It passed anxiety about the interview, wariness as if she was deeply hurt in the past, but most of all it passed a hopeful feeling.
The hope to work in her dream job.
Theo and Sayuri were taken aback that the girl could emanate such deep emotions.
"Yes, my name is Ryoko Riverdale. This is my resume." Ryoko passed them her resume.
Sayuri looked at the resume and raised her eyebrows, this was not what she was expecting.
She passed the resume to Theo, and he also lifted his eyebrows in surprise.
She was too qualified!
She had a degree in anime production from one of the best universities in the country.
They could not understand why she would want to work in a company that was not big enough or not related to anime production.
Theo's eyes shined as if he saw a hidden gem, but he still maintained a calm face.
"Miss Ryoko, I am going to be honest with you. You indeed have the qualifications to work here. But we have to know why you left your last job. If you are honest with us, I might give you an opportunity that you dream of." Theo said with a gentle tone.
This was the first time Theo spoke after Ryoko entered the room, and she was tranced by it.
It was a surprise to Ryoko, after her sexual harassment episode. She developed an aversion towards men in general.
But Ryoko's aversion seemed not to notice that Theo was a man too.
Ryoko took a deep breath and made a decision.
The decision of opening her heart and telling them about all the awful things that happened to her.
