One In A Million Stars

Chapter Five - The Decision

Mizuki P.O.V.

"Are you ready?"

Sanzu asks when we reach the front door of Mikey's penthouse.

It's been a week since I last met him here. He has kept his promise by sending me a contract of his offer for me to work for him and today I'm here to give him my reply.

"Yeah, let's just get this done."

I reply to Sanzu while taking few deep breathes.

"You'll be on your own. I won't going in with you."

He tells me, making me frown.

"I'll wait you here. So, go on."

He adds by opening the door knob for me.

There he goes with all the secrecy. I shake my head few times and walk into the room. I find Mikey sitting on the couch. Just the same as last time I met him here.

"Hi, Mizuki chan."

He greets me with a smile.

"Hello, Mikey kun."

He signals me to sit across him, so I do as he told.

"Did you receive my offers?"

"Yes, I did."

"So what will be your answer?"

He's leaning forward from his seat as if he's anticipating my reply.

"Before that, can I ask you some questions?"

I try to sound as normal as I can.

"Sure."

He smiles again.

"If I agree to your terms, can you give me a new identity?"

I ask, making him raising his eyebrows.

"That's...easy. Did you hear from Haru?"

He asks me back which I shake my head.

"No. But I got the idea from the conversation with him before."

"Care to share with me?"

Mikey asks so I pause for a few moments.

"He told me before that as long as that person lists me as his kin, things probably still can turn out like this."

Mikey nods once.

"So you want to cut ties with your step father."

I don't answer.

"Women are surely hard to understand. You don't want him to get killed yet you don't want to keep ties with him."

Mikey chuckles.

He did know everything.

"I can give you new identity, new life. If you do your job well, I can grant any other things that you want within my power."

Mikey says as he gets up from his seat and goes to his mini bar at the corner of this room.

"Got any other questions?"

He asks while pouring drink into glasses.

"Is this all worth for you?"

I can't help myself but to ask this question.

He turns around and steps closer, bringing 2 glass of wine on his hands.

"I believe it is."

He passes me a glass when he sits beside me so I take it.
