When Yolden suddenly asked this question, Autumn's face turned even redder.
She secretly thought to herself, 'Am I feeling uncomfortable?! Of course I'm feeling uncomfortable! The lingerie that Charlie bought for me is two sizes smaller than the lingerie I usually wear! I've been suffocating all the way until this point, and I feel that i t is even tighter when I sit down...' 2
However, she certainly would not be able to say such words. So, she could only hesitate as she replied ambiguously, "Oh, Dad, I’m fine. Perhaps it’s because I've not eased my spirit yet, and I'm still feeling a little nervous..." 1
Yolden did not think too much. He nodded gently before he said emotionally, "You must have suffered a lot after staying in that kind of place for such a long time. Moreover, you have experienced war and kidnapping. So, it is normal for you to be feeling a little mental tension." 2
Autumn had an embarrassed look on her face as she thought to herself, 'I'm not feeling mentally tensed. I'm feeling tense physically! If I were to continue getting suffocated like this, I would really not be able to catch my breath anymore...'
At this time, Yolden, who was beside her, looked at Charlie before he pleaded, "Charlie, would you be able t o postpone the ocean shipping business matter for two days so that Autumn can rest a little first?"
Charlie smiled as he said, "Of course. We're not going t o start working immediately anyway. Autumn can rest well for the next two days. I'll go and gather my resources first. It just so happens that the head of the Ito family from Japan is also in Aurous Hill now, and she has a pretty good relationship with me. With regards to the ocean shipping business, there are many projects where we could have an in-depth collaboration with one another."
"The Ito family?" Autumn said in surprise, "That is the top-ranking family in Japan now! The head of their family is Ito Yahiko, right? It seems as though there was chaos in Tokyo some time ago, and after Ito Yahiko was injured and paralyzed, he gave the position as the head of the family to his daughter, Ito Nanako.” 3
Charlie did not expect Autumn to know so much about the Ito family. So, he smiled as he asked, "Oh? You have been paying attention to the situation in Japan too?"
Autumn nodded before she said seriously, "I have to pay attention to it. After all, we are studying economics and finance. So, we certainly would have t o study and pay attention to several of the world's relatively top economies. Japan's GDP ranked third in the whole world, and its industrial base is relatively strong. That is the reason why I pay much more attention to their business and economic dynamics."
Charlie spoke up, "Aside from Ito Nanako, her father, Ito Yahiko, is already here in Aurous Hill. I'll introduce you to them when the time comes."
Autumn said, "No problem."
