Chapter 99 - I am a psycho

Everything is deleted including the previous messages and call logs. There is not even a photo or contact. 

*Ting*

[Or should I call you Blessed_Noodles? Takeuchi Rie? Umezaki Rie? I thought that you died, but you are alive and well.]

She types a message and taps send button. She can't reply to the messages. 

[FYI* If you have made a back up of this phone's data, the virus in the data will take care of your system. I hope that you haven't been that hasty.]

"What's wrong?" Kiyohira asks her with worry. She ignores him and reads the next message.

[As your fan, I love you without a doubt. I couldn't care less if you destroy Hashimoto Chisa, but my clients won't like it. By the way, black suits you. I think that you will look hotter in red.]

He's here. She looks around. There are many people with phones. Who is it?

*Ting*

[I don't have to be there to see you, babe.]

She glances at the CCTV. "F.u.c.k.i.n.g psycho." 

[You are right. I am a psycho.]

When she doesn't answer any of his questions, he takes away the phone from her. He barely gets the glance of the last message when the phone's screen suddenly turns black. An animated middle finger appears on the screen before the phone goes dead.

He hears her sigh. He quickly makes the payment and follows her out. She sighs again, seemingly tired. She won't tell him what happened. He could guess that someone hacked this phone. But, whose phone is it? He keeps the phone. There are ways to find out later. 

Rie continues her silence. She seems to be in deep thought. Kiyohira is also thinking about their relationship. They belong to different worlds. When it comes to likes and dislikes, backgrounds, hobbies, or habits, they are stark different. He finds it a bit difficult to understand her. She doesn't even try to understand him. She isn't giving him any chance. 

***

Chisa hasn't realized that her phone was missing. She hasn't regained her consciousness. Her beautiful neck was full of blue and red bruises. Sitting beside her bed, Morikawa has an emotionless face. He doesn't show any anger or anxiety about what happened to his boss.

A mail arrives on Morikawa's phone. He looks down to read. Something change in his eyes for a moment. He sighs and looks into Chisa's purse. The phone is indeed missing. Just then, a second mail is received.

[Miss. Hashimoto is making mistakes frequently.]

A warning.

Morikawa wonders how did they find out that Chisa lost her phone. It should be possible only if they are already keeping a watch on her. He glances at her other phone. Chisa has two phones. If the locations of both phones are different...

Since Chisa is someone who knows the dar secrets of people who belong to the elite society, he was sent by one of those people to support and keep watch on Hashimoto Chisa. Someone else is keeping watch on him.

Back to Kamiyama Mansion, Rie runs straight to the bedroom. She checks the system first. Everything is intact. Nothing is touched. She examines if there's been any attack while she was gone. None so far. She lets out a breath of relief. 

Even if the phone's contents are deleted, it doesn't mean that she has nothing. She will reveal who Chisa and her mother were before her mother married her stepfather. She will reveal what kind of person her stepfather is. A gift will be waiting for Chisa when she wakes up.
