After that, Fang Zheng drove the girls to the Crimson Imperial Capital Heldam.
However...
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Fang Zheng. The president is currently away on business and will be unable to return anytime soon."
Standing before Fang Zheng, the purple-haired maid spoke to him respectfully.
"Oh, that's fine. I'm free anyway, so could I trouble you to help me make an appointment?"
"Of course... Please wait a moment."
After saying that, the purple-haired maid turned and entered the office. Fang Zheng leaned against the doorway and yawned in boredom. He was not particularly surprised that Irina was not in the imperial capital. After all, he had not notified her before coming. It would have been nice to meet her, but it did not matter if he could not. He could still see her after making an appointment, couldn't he?
After quite some time, the purple-haired maid finally emerged again.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Fang Zheng. The president will return to the imperial capital in five days and will meet with you that day."
"Oh, it's not that urgent... Right, there's one more thing."
At that, Fang Zheng seemed to remember something and snapped his fingers.
"Could you also ask Ms. Irina whether I can take Alisa on a trip?"
"...Do you mean Miss Alisa?"
Upon hearing that, the purple-haired maid's gaze flickered. Fang Zheng, meanwhile, nodded as though he had not noticed at all.
"Yeah. One of my girls has been chatting with her lately, and she heard Alisa complaining about being bored at home all day. She wants to come traveling with us too, so I thought I'd ask whether it was all right. If it is, I'll take her out to have fun for a few days, then come back to meet Ms. Irina."
