Saturday came and it is the day of the fashion show of Jiro's clothing brand. Ethan just arrived at the venue and he was guided to one of the VIP areas which give him a full view of the stage. To some runways, the front sits are most likely the VIP area or sit but for the current venue of the show, there is a separate location for VIPs. Particularly the investors of L.M.E. Fashion who like the 'Strings Attach' clothing brand of the company.
Ethan being the CEO of the company itself had to socialize with those investors and their family members who were in there. Most of them have met up with him, face to face but there are still few who met him for the first time.
The show went on smoothly without any problems and all of the designs that were worn by the models got a positive impact on everyone in the venue. Some even place their orders to purchase the designs that they saw. Jiro was ready for that and made sure that all of the orders would be processed and delivered within three days.
After the show, Ethan had to discuss a few more businesses with the investors and just let Leo inform Jiro that he might arrive late for their dinner. Jiro didn't mind that since he got to accommodate Mrs. Ito who came to the country to see him. Hideaki wanted to join them but he got stuck with work-related meetings and he couldn't leave. The alpha promised that as soon as he is done he would pick up Jiro and they could spend the rest of the night together.
"Auntie, I have already ordered our dishes beforehand is that alright with you?" asked Jiro. They have arrived at the restaurant that he had reserved days before the fashion show. He made sure that the restaurant has some private rooms to dine in for those who wanted to spend their dinner peacefully.
"Of course, you know that I am not that choosy as long as the food here is delicious" answered Mother Ito.
"This is one of my favorite restaurants and I can guarantee that their food is the best. Also, I asked Hideaki what are your favorites so I ordered it too"
"Oh my, you didn't have to"
"Auntie, I want to give the best impression I could. It has been years since the last time we saw each other and if it wasn't for Hideaki, who knows when will we meet again"
"right, but Jiro, how are you dear? Do you have a lover? Are you married?"
"I do have a lover but I am not yet married. I'm too busy to get married"
"I can tell from your designs during the fashion show that you really worked hard but please don't forget to give time for yourself, ok?"
"Yes, Auntie."
"*sigh* If only you were my son-in-law"
"*giggle* Auntie, would you get mad at me if I became the mistress of your son?"
"What? Why would I? Even if it's wrong I would still accept you since I can tell that Elise wasn't doing her duty as Hideaki's wife more so the mother of my grandchildren"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, that daughter-in-law of mine started her own clothing brand last year and that made her even busier. Even before she started that, she rarely comes home early. As soon as she recovered from childbirth, she immediately return to her job and started neglecting the children. I even scolded her about it but she only adjusted a few of her hours then return to her routine. Hide told me to let her be since he knew that she is doing her best to give their kids a better life"
"She started her own clothing brand? What is the name of her brand Auntie?"
"if I'm not mistaken it's 'Elegant Poise', her brand is more on women's clothing designs unlike yours. Your brand is far greater than her so there are times during the show that I compare your designs from hers."
"thank you, Auntie, if it wasn't for the help of my friends that I wouldn't be at this level. They supported me in every way possible and I would forever be grateful for that"
"I see, It's good that you have great friends, Jiro"
*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*
While the two were having a conversation someone knock on the door of their private room. After knocking on the door three times, servers entered the room together with the food. As they place all of the food on the table, Ethan arrived at the exact time.
"Jiro, congratulation on your successful show," said Ethan as he went straight to Jiro to congratulate him. His arrival became a shock to Mother Ito who couldn't believe that the omega is in front of her
"Dr. Ethan Aoki?" mutter Mother Ito.
"Hm? Oh, Long time no see Mrs. Ito" Ethan heard and notice the presence of the person who is staring at him. He greeted and gave one of the flowers that is in his hand. The omega asked his assistant to prepare two bouquets of flowers for the night, since he knew that Mother Ito would be there during the dinner he thought that it is just right to give flowers to her.
"that…Dr. Aoki…" Mother Ito on the other hand just accepted the flowers but she is still speechless with the sudden appearance of Ethan.
"Ethan! you finally made it, did the investors keep you from going here? Oh! and Thank you for the flowers, take a sit" said Jiro who is happy with the reaction of Mother Ito.
"Kinda, I told them to set a meeting for the rest of their agenda. Although Mikel would be handling some of them I made sure to have them all send their proposals first before setting a meeting that way it won't waste any of our time. Mikel and I are already packed with the paperwork we don't want anything that would be a waste of our time, especially proposals that aren't meritable."
"Right, oh! by the way, let me introduce you to Auntie Yuriko Ito, She is the mother of Hideaki, my childhood friend. Although by the looks of it the two of you already know each other" Jiro pretended to not know the relationship between Ethan and the in-laws of Elise. He also didn't disclose his current status of him and Hideaki.
"Yes, Mrs. Ito here is the mother-in-law of my sister Elise and the childhood friend that you said is my brother-in-law, right Mrs. Ito?"
"Yes, Dr. Aoki, it is indeed been a while. The last time I saw you were at the wedding reception of my son and your sister."
"That's true, also please do call me by my name we are not in a hospital for you to call me Doctor."
"Right, Ethan, how have you been? I heard from Elise that Trisha's cousin married your lover, is that true?"
"Yes, Ken and I are no longer together since I think it is impossible for me to be together with a married and bonded man."
"What?"
"Didn't Elise told you? Trisha's cousin got bonded with Ken while I was busy with work. When I got to know about their relationship, those two already got married and Ken even got his wife pregnant."
"Oh no…I'm sorry for bringing that topic up"
"No worries, I'm doing well with my life so that doesn't affect me at all anymore"
"That's good but how did you and Jiro become friends?"
"Well, Ethan helped me out when I was only starting my business. He had a business mind and without him 'Strings Attach' won't be where it is now. We became friends after that and now we have even become best friends! *big smile*" Jiro happily answers the question of Mother Ito while Ethan also smiled back as he listens to what his friend was saying. Seeing that the two omegas in front of her were happy with their status as friends Mother Ito couldn't help but smile as well.
