Don’t know daddy is here.

“Let’s get to work,” Yoshio said looking at Li.

“Absolutely, I’ll get the agreement for the joint venture with Sato group,” Li said and Yoshio grunted as he got up from his chair and walked over to the huge window. Sato joint venture was pushed by his mother as an excuse to have Sora spend more time with him. He always got out of doing things with Sora because of ‘work’ or he would conveniently forget but now she would be there constantly because of the cooperation between the two companies.

“Yes that’s fine. Also can you find out where we are on the expansion across the street,” Yoshio looked out the out the window at the bustling construction site. There was heavy equipment moving tons of dirt and cranes moving beams across from one place to another.

“At last check in they where behind.” Assistant Li explained.

“Schedule a site visit for tomorrow afternoon at 4pm. I want to know why they’re behind. Make sure the supervisor, manager, and architect to be there.” Yoshio explained as Assistant Li took down notes.

“Also bring me the renewal lease agreements for the Lin and Chen groups office building,” Yoshio asked.

“ yes, sir and where would you like lunch from today?” Assistant Li asked looking up at her boss. He would work and never eat unless or his father asked.

“Just a bento today. Would be nice,” Yoshio said and walked back to his desk.

“Yes,Sir. I’ll have those contracts and agreements for you in a moment.” Li said leaving the office.

“Also find out from my father how the negotiation with the Shang group is coming for the acquisition is coming. I’d like a report to to see where we are,” Yoshio asked just before the closed behind Assistant Li.

West Primary school.

“Sister is time to go home, say bye to your friend,” a tall boy with a cap said to the little girl who was holding Yoshio’s hand.

“Bye Yoshio I’ll see you tomorrow,” she waved at him as she walked away with her brother.

“Bye Ming,” Yoshio waved back. She sat across from him in class and declared that they were friends. She sat with him at lunch and also they played together during recess.

All the other children were picked up by parents and siblings but Yoshio thought back to what his mommy told him when she dropped him of in the morning.

“When you get out of school follow this road all the way to mommy’s job. You’re going to need to cross the street so remember to look both ways. When you get there have a seat on the bench. Do your homework and mommy will find you when she has a break. Okay,” she kissed him on his forehead and walk to work down the same road he was about to walk down.

He took a deep breath and held on to his backpack straps and started walking. The street was filled with people and the cars and trucks zoomed passed on the road. Yoshio walked as faraway from traffic as he could. The buildings started to get taller and taller as he got further and further away from his school. He looked at the shiny glass windows and wondered what it was like inside those shiny buildings.

Yoshio’s feet were hurting and he was getting very tired and hungry. He pulled his backpack higher on his back and continued walking.

Then he saw it the construction site. He was there all he had to do was cross the street. He walked up to the edge of the sidewalk and looked both ways. He stepped of the curve and into the street.

“Look our!” A man screamed and Yoshio was pulled backwards out of the street. He watched with amazement as the truck zoomed passed in front of him. The person who pulled him out of the way turned him away from traffic as more cars zoomed passed. Yoshio wrapped his arms around the man’s neck and buried his head in the man’s shirt. He started crying and hugging the person who saved him tightly.

“Disgusting!” A woman yelled and Yoshio felt himself being yanked by his backpack. He stumbled backwards onto the sidewalk. He looked up to see a woman standing over him and the man who had pulled him out of the traffic was also on the ground. He had big tears rolling down his eyes.

“What are you doing? You have a very important meeting and your close are filthy. “ the woman scolded the man and then turned her attention to Yoshio who was still crying.
