LOVE AND SELFISHNESS

PART 21

In a square room neatly arranged with brown walls and cet, Erika still sleeps soundly on the sofa. While Yagami was busy signing files on his desk.

A moment later, the girl woke up and her eyes immediately saw the clock hanging on the wall.

"Haah? Is it 3 o'clock?" he shouted unconsciously that he was in the presidential room.

"Awake? The first day of work was a good night's sleep, yes," Yagami said with a bit of insinuation.

Erika wiped the rest of the saliva on her lips, then immediately stood up apologetically bowing in front of Yagami.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"Sir? I'm not that old, just call Yagami if you're two."

"Yes, Yagami," Erika bowed her head.

"Hurry home there, tomorrow you take 3 days off work."

"Why? Didn't I just get into work today?" asked Erika in shock.

"You calm your mind first, just get back to work."

"I want to ask you again, did you really forget about me?" ask Erika again.

"How many times have I said, this is the first time we met," Yagami replied crossing both hands staring in Erika.

"Oh, yes, I have. I say goodbye first" said Erika about to leave Yagami's room.

"Wait."

Erika paused for a moment and turned her face around feeling unbecoming. His face looks pale.

"Let me drive you home" said Yagami rising from his seat.

"No need, I can go home alone by taxi," Erika replied without looking into Yagami's eyes again.

"This time, you look pale. I can't let my employees suffer" Yagami said, picking up a cell phone at his desk and heading for the exit.

"Surprisingly, he'll be able to get his subordinates to drive me home," muttered Erika following Yagami from behind.

"Yagami, the lifh is in the hallway there," said Erika pointing to a general employee lifh.

"That's the employee's lifh, my personal lifh over here," replied Yagami walking towards the lifh which was only four steps away from the side door of his study.

While Erika walked towards the general lifh.

"Where are you going?"

"To lifh employees."

"No, from now on you just use this lifh."

"But, it doesn't feel good about the other employees."

"This is my command, just tell me if anyone bothers me."

"Well," Erika replied to the elevator standing beside Yagami.

Arriving downstairs, Yagami immediately opened the door of his red Ferrari that had been ordered to his bodyguards an hour earlier.

"Come in, you sit in front of me" said Yagami opening the door. Erika just obeyed her will.

In the red car, Erika always looked at Yagami from the side, imagining the form of Yagami who always chased after her while still in school. He imagined Yagami's lips touching his thin lips and warm embrace of him. Yagami who realized that, immediately cleared his throat until Erika turned her gaze outward.

"I know, in your eyes I look a lot like her, but you can think of me as her for a while until your heart lets go" replied Yagami who began to feel strange when close to Erika.

"Thank you, I'm sorry. I promise to soon forget about it and focus on working for my mother" Erika bowed her head.

"Sama-sama, but in my opinion, you just find out about him for almost 5 years before making a decision. Who knows he has his own reasons that keep him away from you. Perhaps, there are things that he does not want to attach to you, afraid you are sad. I think so, do not be quick to make a decision before investigating well what happened," said Yagami.

Erika immediately turned her head towards Yagami with a serious face.

"True you said, but that means he doesn't believe me."

"Not not in disbelief, but for us men, there are things that we do not want to tell our loved ones because we do not want to see them sad" Yagami continued.

"So, what should I do?"

"Say to America."

"Who's he going there with?"

"I also don't know, she didn't tell me who she wanted to go with."

"Can I see her message? You still keep it, right?"

"Yes, still. It's..."

Erika hands her phone to Yagami. Yagami stopped driving for a moment and read all the messages from him when he was about to go to America almost 5 years ago.

"According to what I read, he has a secret you don't want to know. It's possible that he has a disease that can forget you, so he told you to promise to chase after him and restore the memory of you" Yagami explained.

From Yagami's words, Erika was only aware of the message. He almost acted rashly and forgot about Yagami.

"Oh yes, thank you very much, if there is no you, I almost forget it," Erika replied cheerfully. Yagami just smiled looking at her.

"But, if the Yagami I'm referring to is you who has forgotten me, what do you think I'll do?" ask Erika.

"Haha, yes there is no way, I am engaged to your step-sister" Yagami replied captive

"Nothing is impossible, right? Guys, if it's you, what am I supposed to do?" erika asked seriously looking at Yagami.

"Yes you should try to chase after me and cancel my engagement to Kayo" Yagami replied.

"You're right, I had to try to find out about him, then go after him and make him remember me. Oh yes, I have a necklace with a pendant that she gave me, it's about a photo of both of us," Erika replied showing the contents of the locket with a photo of Yagami and herself there. Yagami next to him was very surprised to see the photo.

"Right, very similar to me. It's just that our eyes are different," Yagami looked back at Erika.

"Had he considered me his girlfriend, it turned out to be very similar" Yagami muttered.

"We're also neighbors, he moved before America."

"Do you have any close acquaintances with him?"

"Yes, my father who is now your fiance's father. But, I'm not familiar with it, I hate it so much," Erika replied with an annoyed face.

"Why do you hate him? Is it because he's remarried?"

"Which son, who doesn't hate his father who left his family for another woman? That's enough to make me hate him."

"Have you investigated the reason your father got married again?"

"Yes obviously for the sake of another woman, Kayo's mother, Ihh make upset," Erika replied annoyed.

"Once again you decide something before investigating it. There must be a reason for every decision. Do not make decisions when angry, because even good things will look bad in your eyes, that's the saying."

"Well, you have a point again. Thanks, yeah. I'll try to investigate what happened. But there's one thing that makes me sure that my Yagamiku is you" Erika stared back at Yagami.

"What's that?"

"It was in High School that Yagami said you were childhood friends, and now you're his fiancee. I thought to myself that you were just pretending to forget me."

"Right, we're childhood friends."

"That means you're him, but why are you pretending to forget me?" erika asked starting to get upset again.

"I don't understand what you're saying, but I really don't remember anything. If one day is true what you say, I am him, then pursue me, until my memories of you return again," Yagami replied to Erika's gaze that began to blush and sparkle.

"Seriously? Means I have to fight from now on to find out about you and her, until then, I want Yagami to marry me."

"Haha."

"Why laugh? Just be careful if you're him, I'll make your engagement void."

"Yayaya, whatever you want to be happy," Yagami replied smilingly looking at the cute girl from the side.
