Chapter 239 - Lock Them Up!

Meanwhile, Tanaga's group just arrived at the airport when he received a call from Manager Hoshi. 

His cellphone vibrates from inside his suit jacket, while there's a cordless earpiece in his left ear, Ashley didn't see who's calling. 

"Hello?" Tanaga answered while supporting her wife coming out of the car. 

"Huh? Are you talking to me?" Ashley Asked because she doesn't know that her husband has an earpiece and talking on the phone. 

Tanaga shakes his head and smiled while listening on who calls him. Few people know his number, so he doesn't look who is calling and just answering.

"CEO Jones, this is Hoshi. What you said was right, President Handa was already here with the five directors of the company." Hoshi said each name of the directors that is with president Hanada. 

"President Takashi is also here and called a locksmith to open the door. Your guts were right on what they will do if they know you're here. Hahaha!" Hoshi laughed loudly while Tanaga was just quiet and listening. 

"You know what to do, just keep me posted," Tanaga said while coming out of the car. Ashley was curious but didn't question who's Tanaga was talking to. 

" Hoshi called, he told me that my uncle arrived and with five directors in tow. I'm sure President Takashi is the one who called them that we're here. But don't worry… I got it under control." Then put his arm on her wife's shoulder and walk inside the airport where Tanaga's private plane is waiting to fly to the Philippines

When president Hanada and President Takashi arrived, the locksmith was there, and his things were prepared, and Hanawa was not there already.

Because of the extreme excitement of president Takashi to know that the door will be open, he didn't notice that they are just the only people in the office. 

. 

"It's good that you're already here, come one! Start to open the door." President Takashi ordered that is quickly followed by the locksmith and started opening it with the master key he brought. 

But after thirty minutes and the wasn't still opened, the locksmith gave up and shook his head…"I'm sorry! But I can't open it. This lock is a particular class that can't be open quickly. I give up! Then he raised both hands. 

" What do you mean? Are you giving up? Try it again, even if we catch the new year here, it needed that door to be open. Or else I won't pay the time you used. Do you understand?" president Takashi angrily said to the locksmith. 

What do you mean that you won't pay me for the time I used? This is not what we've talked about, find someone, 'cause this is out of my league!" Locksmith angrily said while starting to pack his tools. 

President Takashi comes to the locksmith while forcing him to stop packing his tools. "You're not allowed to leave, try it again!" While holding the hand of the locksmith. 

It's one thing that locksmith didn't like. "Sir, if you don't let go of my hands, we'll be sorry about what will happen to you." While staring darkly at President Takashi. 

He slowly back off because of the fear of what the locksmith can do to him. "Well, if you really can't open it. What can I do?" 

Because the door can't be open, President Hanada comes to the accounting department to talk to Hoshi. But when he arrived, he can't see even a shadow of a person, the door is locked, and the light was inside. 

The next place they went to is the marine department, but it's the as the accounting department. Then they go to every department, but it still likes that… All of the employees left without them noticing it. 

It might be that when the locksmith was busy opening the door, Hoshi is busy sending a memo to everyone to all departments that they are just half-day, and they can leave early. The quickly follow when they know that the president of THJ Group is here.

They know that their CEO and their president are not in good terms. But if they would choose, it would be their CEO. Firstly, the CEO position is higher than the president. Second, the CEO is kind to the corrupt president of the company. So if they chose, it would be their CEO. 

When Hoshi makes sure that all of the employees already leave, the couple quickly leaves without notice. Even Mikito and her colleagues in the marine department go one by one to not noticed them. 

President Hanada was angry when he realized that not even one employee is inside the whole building. Security guards are just the only employees left in the entire building. They meet one when they are checking if all are closed. 

"What's going on? Why even one employee is not in the office?" President Hanada asked while his eyes flickering

" I'm sorry! I'm just a security guard, and I don't know why there are no people around the office. i know that the security company called me to guard here. Who are the two of you? And why are you here? What I know is that this office is locked and no people around." The security guard asked the to doubt them. 

Rather than answering, president Hanada thought of leaving. "Let's all go to the hotel and think of what we can do. I know that Tanaga is behind all of this. Let's go!" President Hanada said to his companion. 

Little did they know that on the time they leave… the security guard immediately calls to his superior and reported." Sir, there is an intruder here in the building. You said that I would request that there are people here. Yes! I asked them if who are they, but I didn't get any response. I saw them forced to open the closed doors." 

"All right! Make sure that they can't leave. Lock it from the outside, and also stay outside… I'm calling the police now!" The superior said to the security guard and hangs up the phone to call the police…
