Erika, not knowing what was going on, exclaimed in admiration and quickly turned her attention back to the fruit wine on the table. It was a flavor she had never tasted before, with a clear and sweet taste that was very intoxicating.
Yuki Shimizu also breathed a sigh of relief and stopped stopping Erika from drinking. He even wished that the woman would just pass out like that so that he wouldn't accidentally see her husband's most unsightly side in private.
It’s a pity that it’s just fruit wine, and it’s hard to get drunk no matter how much you drink.
Looking at the woman who was getting closer and closer, as if it had been planned for a long time, Mina Sakai never looked over here from beginning to end. Instead, Hiroki Shimizu looked back repeatedly, being attracted and falling into panic and anxiety.
However, what is coming will eventually come. Without having to look up, Hiroki Shimizu could gradually hear the subordinates who were toasted by Mina Sakai, each of whom wanted to kneel down on the spot to express their gratitude, as if this favor was so great that they could never be repaid in a lifetime.
"Since he's Yuuki-kun's leader, he'll definitely come over to drink with Yuuki-kun later." Erika also noticed this.
“I don’t have a good relationship with this leader.”
"Oh, so that's how it is, eh? But she seems to have really come over!!!"
Erika had just quietly raised the alarm when the woman came towards the couple in a pair of high heels and greeted them warmly with a smile on her face.
"Good evening, Section Chief Shimizu, I've been looking for you."
Everyone around was looking at him, and under pressure, Hiroki Shimizu had to pretend to reply.
"Good evening, what can Minister Sakai do for me?"
When Erika heard her husband address this flamboyant and beautiful woman in front of her like that, she instantly recalled some not-so-pleasant memories.
Isn’t this woman the new minister who always exploits and forces her beloved husband to work overtime day and night and is extremely sarcastic?
My husband's direct supervisor is actually a charming and beautiful witch! ?
But she soon realized that bad leaders do not distinguish between men and women. It seems that Hiroki Shimizu did not elaborate on the gender of this leader. Erika only had a very bad impression of Minister Sakai through her husband's complaints.
Just when Erika didn't know how to express herself, Mina Sakai had already turned her eyes to her.
"I guess this is Mrs. Shimizu who has been rumored in the department for a long time. Everyone in the company knows that Section Chief Shimizu has a good wife who is as virtuous as Yamato Nadeshiko. Seeing is believing."
The tall woman had a smile on her face and her eyes narrowed slightly, but for some reason this gave Erika a lot of psychological pressure.
After all, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you, not to mention that her husband will have to work under her in the future. After thinking it over, Erika decided not to give the female leader the cold shoulder. She had to put on a fake smile on her face and maintain the most basic social etiquette.
"No, no, Director Sakai is too kind. It's my husband who needs your help in the company."
"Of course. I will definitely take special care of Section Chief Shimizu in every aspect!"
Without any hesitation, Mina Sakai agreed immediately, and the corners of her bright red lips looked even more charming and seductive.
Erika couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She always felt that the emphasis of the woman's words when she spoke seemed to be wrong, so strange that it made her feel uneasy.
"Minister Sakai is very busy, and so many of his subordinates are looking forward to your condolences. It would be better if you don't waste your time because of us..."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Hiroki Shimizu felt his heart in his throat, fearing that Mina Sakai was going to go crazy again.
"Since I joined the company, I have won several major projects in succession, all thanks to Section Chief Shimizu's great help. If I were to say who I should thank the most, isn't he right in front of me?"
Not only did Mina Sakai refuse to leave, but she sat directly in the empty seat next to Erika. The men and women who had just surrounded the couple had all left without knowing when.
Erika gathered the scattered hems of her kimono, subconsciously straightened her back, and displayed the responsibility and courtesy that a mistress of the Shimizu family should have.
"Minister Sakai, do you want to drink more?"
Mina Sakai glanced at the fruit wine in the woman's hand and almost couldn't help but sneer. This kind of thing that only children like to drink is really ridiculous.
She is a woman who is even more stupid and naive than she looks in the photo.
"Then I'll trouble you, Madam Qingshui."
While pouring the wine, Erika secretly took a few glances at the exquisite makeup on the woman's face. As expected, no matter how many times she looked at it, it was still breathtakingly beautiful. She even regretted going out with only light makeup on.
But even so, it seems that her husband is too lazy to take a few more glances, and his eyes don't even stay on the woman. He is the best example of a married man!
"Mrs. Shimizu has such great skin. As a woman myself, I envy her to no end."
Mina Sakai also stared at Erika's slender arm that stretched out from under the wide sleeves of her kimono as she poured wine for her. The soft and smooth skin looked great to the touch, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch it gently.
Erika was so frightened that she almost broke the bottle in her hand, and looked at Sakai Mina with extreme fear.
"Oh~ I'm sorry, I'm used to living abroad. I just returned to China and started working recently. Some habits can't be changed in a short time."
Mina Sakai apologized sincerely, but she glanced calmly at Shimizu Hiroki, whose expression had already become extremely ugly, without any intention of restraining herself.
This was just the opening scene she had prepared for tonight.
It is also a severe punishment for a man who dares to do some shameful things in private and hook up with some shady people. He actually has the delusion of pouring her into cement and sinking her into Tokyo Bay to feed the fish? !
Just before the dinner started, Mina Sakai had already learned all the crimes that Hiroki Shimizu had committed behind her back!
Her beautiful smile at this moment was just a sign of her already uncontrollable anger.
285. Shimizu Yuuki leaves the table midway, Sakai Mina's passionate confession
After only spending such a short time together, Erika suddenly began to understand why Shimizu Hiroki had a bad impression of Minister Sakai.
She also had a similar bad impression, thinking that the other party was not from the same world as them, and the huge generation gap between them was obviously not easy to erase.
Especially the arrogance that overflows from every frown and smile, it really, really makes people feel uncomfortable!
Under normal circumstances, Erika wouldn't bother with such a person.
Even the timid and introverted neighbor Miss Arisu and the lonely Mr. Kurono, they all have small shortcomings of one kind or another, but at least they all have their own lovable qualities and do not interact with others in a condescending manner.
The only person who made Erika feel inexplicably distant from was Minister Sakai, who looked the most normal and was perfect in every way. She couldn't like him at all.
But after all, the other party is her husband's immediate superior. If he is unhappy, he might make Shimizu Hiroki pack up and leave, and their already shaky financial situation will completely collapse. The cruelty of reality is like this, which makes people unable to raise their heads.
Erika had no choice but to put on a smile the whole time, suppressing all her annoyance and frustration deep in her heart. She could only pray silently that the other party would leave here quickly and not disturb her and Yuki-kun's time together anymore.
However, the reality is always contrary to one's wishes. Mina Sakai not only had no intention of leaving, but seemed to cling to the couple, drinking and chatting with them idly.
Most of them were obscure things about work, and Erika couldn't understand them at all. However, her arms were sore from frequently pouring wine for Mina Sakai.
The waiter next to him seemed to be blind and had no intention of coming over to take over the job.
In the end, Hiroki Shimizu couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the bottle and poured wine for Mina Sakai, and kept signaling the woman with his eyes to leave quickly.
But facing the man's extremely annoyed eyes, Mina Sakai just leaned her face on the table and greeted him with a smile. Her lazy and relaxed feeling made her delicately made-up face even more beautiful.
"It's almost time for internal recommendations for promotions, and many people are already eager to apply. I wonder if Section Chief Shimizu has made sufficient preparations. If you are willing, I can say a few good words for you."
Even Erika, who was not familiar with the situation, understood this undisguised hint. Was she asking her husband to pay a certain price in exchange for a smooth career?
But she didn't think Mina Sakai was the kind of stingy boss who accepted favors from everyone. She was able to hold the position of department director at such a young age. Maybe the entire company was closely related to her by blood. She was undoubtedly a noble lady who had no worries about food and clothing!
Erika frowned in confusion, and secretly glanced at the meaningful smile on the woman's lips. An idea that scared her so much that she almost fainted suddenly emerged.
Since it has nothing to do with money, could it be... could it be some kind of dirty power-for-sex transaction? ?
After all, she has been a housewife for almost two years and is really bored on weekdays. Those boring, long and melodramatic soap operas that she watches to kill time are not watched in vain. Erika's imagination runs wild all of a sudden.
Her first reaction was not to dare to look at Mina Sakai, but then she thought that the other party wanted to destroy the small family she and Hiroki Shimizu had formed, and was blatantly trying to poach him in front of her as a wife, Erika became furious again. The alcohol she drank seemed to evaporate, and her whole body began to feel hot and tremble, and she looked like she was a little drunk.
This is simply too much!
"What do you mean, Minister Sakai? Why don't you just say it directly?"
Hearing the cold voice of Shimizu Yuki in her ears, Erika slowly regained some of her composure, but the look she gave to the drunk Mina was a little irritable, as if she already disliked this woman who was as flamboyant, arrogant and willful as a peacock, and was just silently waiting for her to make excuses!
"Ah~ Sorry, maybe my statement was too ambiguous. I really like Section Chief Shimizu's personal talent, but the intensity of work after the promotion will probably be much greater than it is now, so I have been hesitant about this. I still want to ask Section Chief Shimizu if you have this idea."
"Thank you for your kindness, Director Sakai, but I still plan to settle down in my position as section chief. Besides, compared to work, I still value family more."
This answer was quite straightforward, and it could be said that he had completely ruined his future promotion possibilities for the sake of this family, but Shimizu Hiroki still gave the answer without thinking.
Erika on the side was about to say something but hesitated, but when Shimizu Hiroki looked at her, the couple instantly understood each other and there was no need for any more words.
Deeply moved by Shimizu Hiroki's extremely deep and loyal love, Erika couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and her guard against Sakai Mina dissipated a lot.
It turned out that he was just a workaholic who was obsessed with exploiting his subordinates. She thought he was a greasy female boss who had taken a fancy to her gentle and handsome husband and wanted to take advantage of him.
Besides, this is just a gender swap with the classic soap plot, isn't it ridiculous and funny?
"Well, it seems that Section Chief Shimizu really loves his wife. In that case, just pretend that I never mentioned it."
Mina Sakai just smiled with a relaxed look on her face, but Erika inexplicably felt that the woman did not look at her husband, but was staring at her closely. The smile and eyes made her scalp tingle and she got goose bumps all over her body.
When Hiroki Shimizu saw that the misunderstanding was resolved and his tense nerves had just relaxed, the phone in his trouser pocket began to vibrate frequently.
Glancing at Erika who was unaware of this, Shimizu Hiroki checked the series of messages she had sent him and his expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.
The whole article can be summed up in one sentence: Because the dinner was too boring, Mizuno Sakurako wanted Shimizu Hiroki to abandon his wife Erika, and now go to accompany his real wife who is about to get pregnant with his child, at the top floor of this dinner.
There was no room for refusal at all. Hiroki Shimizu put away the phone with trembling hands. When he looked up again, he happened to meet Mina Sakai's half-smile, as if she had seen through everything.
It doesn't matter. Whether they know it or not, it is not enough to make up for the huge gap in strength between the two sides. The ending of Mina Sakai and her group of evil women has long been doomed, and it can even serve as a deterrent.
Forcing down the bad premonition, Shimizu Hiroki turned his head to look at his wife beside him, and said with a smile in a hoarse voice.
"Erika, I may have to leave for a while. There are several colleagues and leaders who need me to go around. After all, I have received a lot of help from them on a daily basis."
"Then I'll go with Yuki-kun!"
"No, that's not necessary. Erika wouldn't like that kind of situation. Just stay here and I'll call Sister Kawakami to accompany you later."
"Since Yuuki-kun said so..."
Erika pouted and nodded, being very obedient, but she did not forget her duties as a wife, "Yuki-kun must remember to drink less!"
He agreed readily, and before leaving, Hiroki Shimizu secretly glared at Mina Sakai, warning her not to do anything rash.
But Mina Sakai just picked up the wine glass and drank with a smile, her rosy cheeks showing her charming and charming appearance, and she looked so smug that Shimizu Hiroki was furious and he wished he could kill this woman who was unaware that she was about to die.
The cell phone in his pocket was vibrating wildly again, as if a wronged spirit came to claim his life, urging Shimizu Hiroki to hurry to the top floor to serve. He had no choice but to quicken his pace and leave.
Erika, who did not go with them, waved goodbye to Shimizu Hiroki for the third time. The two were reluctant to part as if they would never see each other again.
Seeing Shimizu Hiroki's back completely disappear at the end of her sight, Erika turned around with a smile that didn't fade away in time, and was shocked to find that her husband's immediate female boss hadn't left yet? !
Mina Sakai smiled at her very naturally at this moment, picked up the bottle and poured wine for Erika, without the annoying and arrogant attitude she had just now.
"Speaking of which, Section Chief Shimizu is so lucky to have such a lovely wife like Mrs. Shimizu!"
"That's too much, Minister Sakai. It's my luck to have met Yuuki-kun!"
"I think Mrs. Qingshui may have misunderstood what I meant."
Mina Sakai gently put down the wine bottle, and her palm slowly moved down along the rim of the wine glass in Erika's hand to cover the hand of the married woman. She raised her pointed high heels under the table and gently rubbed the drooping hem of Erika's kimono. Her gentle and loving movements showed her pampering.
"I'm not complimenting you, but I envy you from the bottom of my heart."
The woman's drunken eyes were suddenly no longer suppressed, and the strong love that flowed out was like a bolt of lightning that struck Erika's body unexpectedly.
"I fell in love with you, Madam Qingshui...at first sight!"
"Eh~?"
Erika's brain froze for a moment, and she let the woman touch her for half a minute before she pulled her hand back. It took her a long time to utter a warning that would only make the criminal more excited.
"I don't know what Minister Sakai is talking about, but please respect yourself!"
Mina Sakai glanced at Erika who stood up and slammed the table slowly, put her index finger to her lips and said with a smile.
"Haha, why are you reacting so strongly, Mrs. Shimizu? You don't want your beloved husband to be treated unfairly in the company, right?"
286. A couple so close yet so far away! Mrs. Shimizu smells like a mother~
"Mrs. Shimizu, you don't want your beloved husband to be treated unfairly in the company, do you?"
"You, you actually threatened me?"
The last bit of forced smile fell from her face. When Erika heard that the other party used Shimizu Yuki as a bargaining chip to threaten her, she completely lost her patience with the beautiful and dangerous woman in front of her.
"I'm only trying to be nice to Minister Sakai for Yuuki-kun's sake, but I still hope Minister Sakai won't have any other messy thoughts. Besides, I'm already Yuuki-kun's wife, so how could I possibly accept a woman's confession?"
In the end, Erika took into consideration the fact that there were many people around and gave Mina Sakai some face.
She sat back in her seat, her slightly flushed face covered with frost, a sign that she was already extremely angry.
"I...I didn't mean it! I just said something so stupid and reckless in a moment of confusion and anxiety!"
Being glared at by the cute young married woman, Mina Sakai immediately looked panicked. Her rosy and smooth lips stammered, and she lowered her head to admit her mistake like a child who had done something wrong.
"The first time I saw Madam Qingshui, I was deeply attracted by your familiar and warm maternal nature. It reminded me of my mother who passed away at an early age. It was my father's torture and neglect of my mother that caused me to never experience maternal love.
So...I hate men so much and have some unrealistic fantasies and feelings towards women, but being in a rigid and outdated family like the Sakai family, this is undoubtedly a huge scandal that must never be leaked out!"
Mina Sakai unconsciously restrained her originally bright and unrestrained personality in front of Erika. She sat upright on the seat with her legs closed and knees together, and her fingers on her thighs were entangled in panic.
