Chapter 24: Plan A busted
"Nothing really," the person said.
"Are you sure?" Miki asked.
"It was nothing really," the second person said. "I gotta get going."
As Miki watched that person leave, her eyes shifted back to the attention to the person in charge. "Okay," she asked, "what do you want?"
"What are you talking about?" the person asked.
"You know, Maki."
"No, I don't. I was just talking to..."
"I know exactly what you were going to do."
"No, you.."
"Don't interrupt me!" Miki's voice raised to anger as she fixed her patented death-glare upon Maki. "You are not going to hurt Yossie, you understand?"
"If anybody's hurt her, it's you," Maki said.
"Really?" Miki pinned Maki's shoulders to the wall and leaned in close to her face, her breath inches away. "I believe you hurt her if anybody has. I can't decided who Yossie dates, but she's happy with Rika than she'll ever be with you."
"Don't cross me, Miki. You'll regret it."
Maki shoved Miki away as she went downstairs toward the floor level of the building. She left outside and hailed for a taxi to take her back to the apartment. She waited until she got home beforeshe called her friend she was talking to earlier.
"It's me," Maki said. "Meet me at my apartment in 30 minutes."

Rika and Yossie walked arm and arm to the office as Yossie got a message on her phone. She stopped and read the message before she gave Rika a kiss on the cheek. "Miki just called me," she said. "I'll be back soon."
"OK, I'll be in my dressing room if you need me." Rika gave Yossie a quick kiss before she went upstairs. That was when she was stopped by a person working for Tsunku. "Excuse me, Rika?" the man asked. "Tsunku wants to see you."
"OK," Rika replied sadly. Her cheerfulness already was gone out of her face.
"He says he has a surprise for you."
"What is it?"
Minutes later, Rika was in Tsunku's office to hear the good news. "We want you to continue working as much as possible," he said. "Effective next week, you will be hosting Hello!Morning."
"Thank you!" Rika smiled.
Meanwhile, things were not looking good on Yossie's side...
