Lady of the House - Reiji x Reader

'My, my, you have such a beautiful home!'

'Why, thank you! Please come in. My husband is just making tea for us all. Why don't we wait for him in the dining room?'

'Excellent idea!'

(Y/n) beckoned in the two guests standing on her doorstep. One middle-aged woman and a middle-aged man. The woman had her hair pinned up in a tight bun and was wearing a hideous emerald-green suit. It looked as if it had been tailored to her once upon a time, but she had gained weight and now it was stretched in places it shouldn't be.

The man looked like he hadn't been outside for six years. His skin was horribly pale and covered with fading freckles. A thin patch of ginger hair clung to his scalp, thoroughly combed so it was parted perfectly in the middle. He had a rather forced smile on his face.

The young woman in the doorway closed the door behind her visitors, leading them through carpeted hallways and into a fancy dining room. They took a seat around the large mahogany table.

The kitchen door swung open, revealing Reiji carrying a silver tray, filled with teacups on saucers, a plate of varying biscuits and a teapot.

Setting the tray down on the table, he reached over to shake hands with his guests before sitting down beside his wife.

'Welcome to the Sakamaki household,' he greeted, pouring scalding tea into each cup. 'Help yourself to biscuits.'

'Thank you, Mr Sakamaki,' the man began. He cleared his throat and threaded his fingers together, resting them on the table. 'I'm Mr Crestwall, and this is my wife. I'm here on behalf of my company, Crestwall Housing.'

'Yes, I was made aware of that,' Reiji informed, sipping from his cup. 'What was it you wanted?'

Mr Crestwall twisted his fingers. 'I was hoping for a large plot of land. It lies just two miles North of this property. I believe you own it. One of my teams went out to have a look at it and judged it a prime location to build a large block of flats.'

Reiji rested a hand on his wife's thigh underneath the table, looking at her. 'Would you be so kind as to fetch the files for me, dear? They're in the top drawer of my desk.'

'Of course,' she smiled, rising from the table. Nodding to her guests, she quickly excused herself and left the room.

'(Y/n)? What are you doing up here? I thought you and Reiji were in a meeting?'

(Y/n) turned to see her little sister standing in the middle of the hallway, flanked by Kanato and his teddy bear. The young girl, looking to be about 15 or 16, crossed her arms, pursing her lips.

'If you must know, Reiji sent me up here to collect a file for him.'

'You mean this one?' (S/n) grinned, holding out a stack of papers. 'I sent Ebony downstairs to snoop on you. We were curious as to how the meeting was going.'
