"Oh, hush, would ya?" Masamune grinned, "I like living my life~ it's too short fretting over money."
"Thank you all so much for coming, my mistress is grateful for your time." Claudia greeted, entering the room and bowing politely, "If you will please follow me, Lady Akihime is ready to begin." Everyone tailed behind Claudia as she took them from the foyer and down the hall to the designated meeting room. Akihime sat at the head of a large table, dressed in her usual loose buttoned blouse and pinstripe slacks. Her hands were steepled in front of her on the table as she watched everyone enter.
"Please, sit anywhere you like." She offered. Masamune moved to sit on her left and Mitsunari at her right, "Claudia, please prepare refreshments."
"Of course, my Lady." Claudia bowed and left the room.
