When Yahiko heard Nanako’s promise, his voice softened slightly as he asked, "Nanako, have you eaten your lunch yet?"
Nanako replied truthfully, "Eminent Father, I continued training after returning from the stadium s o I have not eaten lunch yet."
Yahiko hummed as he said, "That's good. Since it is also noon now, I think you should just ask Jiro to stay and have lunch with you then. That way, you would have already done your best to serve and entertain him on behalf of your father." 9
"Ask him to stay for lunch?”
Nanako could not help but feel a little reluctant.
She had always had a relatively cold personality.
When her family was teaching her feminine etiquette, she had always been asked to maintain a sufficient distance from men outside. In addition, Nanako had been obsessed with combat and fighting for many years. Therefore, she did not have much contact with men at all. 1
Aside from her own family members, Nanako had never dined privately with any young men although she was already all grown up. Even her assistant, Hiroshi, had never had the opportunity to eat alone with her. 10
However, Nanako could hear the strictness in her father’s tone and she knew that it would be pointless for her to object to his instructions. So, she said," Okay, Eminent Father. I understand...”
Yahiko replied in satisfaction, "Nanako, our family has a very important collaboration with Kobayashi Pharma that is currently in progress at the moment. S o, you must not neglect or offend the other party. Do you understand me?"
Nanako hurriedly replied, "Yes, I understand, Eminent Father." 1
Nanako could not help but sigh helplessly as soon as she hung up the phone. After that, she called Hiroshi and said, "Tanaka-san, please help me to entertain Mr. Kobayashi first. I was sweating a lot when I was training earlier so I need to take a shower first."
Hiroshi quickly agreed. After that, he turned around to look at Jiro before he said, "Mr. Kobayashi, please wait for a moment. Our eldest young lady has just finished her training and she needs to take a shower first. She will arrive shortly."
