The Woman Of THREE CROWN PRINCES
THE GEISHA AND MOMIJI DREAM PART 27. I'm Sorry
"Ohh yeah, I have a waiting schedule tomorrow."
"Do you have time off?"
"There are 2x a month, or maybe if the winter schedule is usually looser not until once a night. Sometimes in bad weather the client cancels the agreement."
"Until what time do you work?" Why would he know my work schedule.
"Around two o'clock we usually arrive again at okiya."
"At 2am?" It seems he just heard our work schedule this time. Not the same, the Roponggi girls also work up to that hour. Why is he surprised?
"Still with that heavy makeup?"
"Hm ..iya. It has to be cleaned, of course. Usually we can only sleep around three in the morning."
"What time do you work in the morning?" Another follow-up question, maybe he considers 3 am every day is very heavy.
We're used to it actually. But there was also an early time when I felt our schedule was excruciating. But everyone at the beginning of work is also not used to it. Later they will enjoy their routine because they have begun to adapt.
"Hmm usually school or practice starts at 9. From 1 to 3 we had a break. Unsure, if you had a schedule with tourists the break hours might be very narrow nothing in the first years of being a maiko. At 4 we have to get ready to dress up for ochaya, at 6 we are in ochaya until the event is over."
She was now silent, we were indeed not her Roppong girl who could use excessive persuasiveness to make a sale of 10 million yen overnight.
We hold the limits of our modesty. We work hard for every Yen we receive, maybe what we get in addition is our respectable reputation.
"Do you aspire to be Geiko?"
"No." Geiko is where my life goes with the flow of water. But I try to accept it and try to do my best.
"What are your ideals..." The question made me look. I found him enthusiastically looking at me.
"Financial analyst at an investment institution or finance director, I'm good with numbers...." If my father leaves me with a little legacy, then I will no doubt pursue that career.
"Why don't you do it." He asked me again why he cared. "I'm sorry I thought you had that ability to pursue, I was just wondering why you didn't."
"Because my father was killed at the age of 17 and left no deposit. Unostentatious. But I don't regret anything. If I'm sarariman maybe I haven't reached this point yet. Hisao-san is also working hard on his way, I heard you got praise for successfully lifting the company's profits significantly. Congratulations on your promotion, I hope I can help you this year pass the exam from your Grandfather."
I decided to make peace, because he wasn't trying to piss me off like this afternoon.
"Thank you for your help." He even said thank you properly. What's wrong with him is he's not interested in trying to piss me off again right now.
We arrived at my apartment shortly afterwards. The driver opened the door for me.
"Hisao-san, thank you for driving me."
"Sure, have a good rest."
Unexpectedly tonight ended peacefully. I thought he was gonna try to piss me off again but he didn't.
