Chapter 77 Dinner Party
After Akikawa Sosuke came out of the bathroom, he saw the agent Miss Itakura Misaki chatting enthusiastically with the big star Okino Yoko.

When the two saw Akikawa Sosuke coming out, they stopped chatting and looked towards him.

"I didn't expect that Akikawa-kun would be favored by Miss Suzuki. How amazing!"

Yoko Okino crossed her ten slender white fingers in front of her, revealing a very surprised expression.

"Um"

Akikawa Sosuke nodded slightly.

At the same time, he was a little curious about the reason why Yoko Okino deliberately wanted to pull him out of the team of Death God elementary school students.

he thinks,
With Yoko Okino's emotional intelligence and business ability, she would not do something without any reason that might make the second daughter of the Suzuki Group unhappy.

Akikawa Sosuke chatted with Okino Yoko for a while.

Suddenly, I heard Okino Yoko solemnly remind me:

"Akikawa-kun, you should avoid interacting with Ms. Mori and Conan-kun in the future."

"it is good."

Akikawa Sosuke nodded.

He thought to himself that he had never thought of deliberately getting close to these characters with the aura of death.

When Okino Yoko heard that Akikawa Sosuke agreed to her request without even asking for the reason, she was very happy.

The curve of her slightly upturned mouth corners also became deeper, and it can be seen that she is in a very good mood at the moment.

Akikawa Sosuke and Itakura Misaki followed Okino Yoko for a while and came to an exhibition hall.

After entering the exhibition hall, Akikawa Sosuke saw the name that Okino Yoko had just mentioned through the wall's work introductions -

Yoshitoki Horita.

At this moment, there was a man and a woman standing and chatting in the exhibition hall.

From the photos on the wall, Akikawa Sosuke determined that the man was the director named Yoshitoki Horita.

After hearing the footsteps, the two people in the exhibition hall looked over here.

The two of them did not show any special expression at the appearance of Yoko Okino.

But after they saw Akikawa Sosuke and Itakura Misaki beside Okino Yoko.

There was a look of confusion on both of their faces.

"Ms. Yoko, who are these two?"

Yoshitoki Horita looked at Yoko Okino and asked curiously.

"This guy is Akikawa Sosuke, a junior in my company, and he's a very good actor."

"The person next to her is Akikawa-kun's manager, her name is Itakura Misaki."

Okino Yoko introduced Yoshitoki Hotta and the woman next to him.

"When these two people saw Yoko Okino appear, there was no surprise on their faces, which means they already knew that Yoko Okino would come here."

"I originally thought she was just looking for a random excuse to pull me away from the Death God Elementary School students, but I didn't expect that she actually made an appointment to meet someone in advance."

Akikawa Sosuke sighed in his heart, and then began to introduce himself to the two of them.

"My name is Akikawa Sosuke, please give me your guidance."

"Well, hello Akikawa-kun, my name is Yoshitoki Horita."

"Oda Ema." said the woman.

After briefly introducing themselves, Yoshitoki Horita and Ema Oda started chatting with Yoko Okino.

Akikawa Sosuke and Itakura Misaki just listened silently without saying anything.

Akikawa Sosuke observed the people present.

He noticed that when Yoshitoki Horita was speaking, half of his cheek did not move, and his left eyelid drooped, making him look very asymmetrical.

"Facial paralysis?"

In addition, Akikawa Sosuke also noticed that Yoshitoki Horita had very obvious scars from surgery on his face.

"It seems that the facial paralysis is not congenital, but caused by an accident later in life."

"And when he was talking to Yoko Okino, he didn't show any inferiority complex because of his appearance flaws."

"It seems that he is a director with outstanding personal abilities and is very confident in himself."

Akikawa Sosuke thought in his heart.

As for Oda Ema who was standing aside.

She is the only person in the exhibition hall who carries a notebook and a ballpoint pen with her.

Although the three of them had been chatting about the stage play that Okino Yoko had participated in since she came, Oda Ema would occasionally pick up the notebook and write something down during the chat.

Her biggest difference is,

That is, when Oda Ema was speaking, he focused more on the plot of the story.

Yoshitoki Hotta, on the other hand, talked more about the core and emotional tone of the story, as well as the expressiveness of the characters.

"One is a director and the other is a screenwriter. And they both seem to have high status in the Japanese film and television industry."

In addition, Akikawa Sosuke noticed a detail.

That is, the skin at the base of Oda Ema's left ring finger appears whiter than the skin on other parts of her hand.

At the same time, Oda Ema also wore a necklace with a uniquely shaped diamond pendant around her neck.

This expensive stone is now shining brightly under the lights in the exhibition hall.

"It's an extramarital affair."

Akikawa Sosuke thought silently in his heart, but did not say anything more.

Later, Okino Yoko also cleverly guided the topic and got Akikawa Sosuke involved.

After hearing that Akikawa Sosuke was the actor who played Odani Sae in the stage play of "The Lost City Girls", the two industry leaders became more interested in Akikawa Sosuke.

However, Akikawa Sosuke could also see that these two had never watched the stage play of "The Lost City Girls" at all.

So he must have known about the character of "Kodani Sae" through some means, and she performed outstandingly in the stage play "The Lost City Girl Detective".

Time passed by minute by minute.

Suddenly, Yoshitoki Hotta raised his wrist and glanced at the time.

"Ah, it's almost time for the dinner. It's about time we go back."

"Hey, time flies. I have to go back and take a shower and put on makeup again."

Just like that, the chat that had lasted for more than an hour finally came to an end.

Back to the hotel.

Yoko Okino checked in with Sosuke Akikawa and Misaki Itakura, and after confirming Sosuke Akikawa's room number, she said goodbye to the two of them temporarily.

Akikawa Sosuke went back to his room and took a quick shower.

And at 7: in the evening, he arrived at the th floor of the Harbour Royal Hotel where he was.

Here, there is a super huge banquet hall with a stage.

At this time, quite a few people had gathered in the banquet hall.

Looking around, almost all the men are dressed in suits.

The ladies all wore evening gowns.

Their exposed skin is embellished with various jewelry, making it particularly eye-catching.

Itakura Misaki was obviously not used to this kind of situation and acted a little timidly.

As for Akikawa Sosuke, he had attended many such banquets in his previous life, so he didn't feel any particular fear about it.

However, given his current status, it is obviously inappropriate for him to attend such a banquet filled with an upper-class atmosphere in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

So Akikawa Sosuke followed Itakura Misaki and stayed in a position slightly closer to the outside of the banquet hall.

After a while, the clock pointed to half past six.

An old man who looked old but still energetic walked onto the stage and picked up the microphone.

He is the consultant of the Suzuki Group and Suzuki Sonoko's uncle - Suzuki Jirokichi.

Suzuki Jirokichi addressed the audience and the dinner officially began.

The outside of the banquet hall was filled with chefs in white chef uniforms, and in front of them was a buffet table filled with all kinds of exquisite dishes.

On the other side there are bartenders who prepare drinks on the spot according to the needs of the guests.

The huge banquet hall was filled with the sounds of guests laughing and chatting.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

As time went by, the frequency with which guests went to pick up their meals decreased significantly.

The sound of chatting was also much louder than at the beginning of the banquet.

It was at this time.

A sudden scream broke the cheerful atmosphere of the dinner.
