Chapter 36

My jaw almost drops to the floor. I rub my eyes several times just to make sure that I am really seeing her. What is she even doing here in front of me? How did she find me here?

“Ms. Haruko? What are you doing here?” I ask.

She calmly shrugs and glances around. “I was in the neighborhood.”

I quickly look around in the neighborhood she’s saying. I can see the shack dwellings. Some drunk guy in the middle of the day is even urinating on the side of the pole.

I scratch the back of my neck disappointingly and turn my attention back to the Japanese woman.

“What can I do for you this time?” I ask. I am sure the Japanese has a purpose of seeing me.

She nods. I am really bothered by the size of the fedora she is wearing. I think I can even fit inside it.

“It’s not what you can do for me. It’s what I can do for you,” she says mysteriously.

Yeah right. I already knew this infamous lines of hers.
