MIMI

Chapter 6 - Big Brother

On a bright sunny day, Mimi had finally begun to take her plan into action. Leaving the house, Mimi brought her allowance money to call a cab to take her to Alec's company.

With her ruffled purple dress and brown hair tied up into two small little buns, Mimi knew her cute looks would give her the advantage of getting into the building.

With her, she brought a pink satchel bag that wrapped around her shoulders and back.

Sitting in the back seat of the cab, Mimi leaned against the window a playful grin showing on her face. The cab driver, a middle-aged man, looked at the little girl in the back and shook his head with a sigh.

What an odd little girl.

Reaching her destination, Mimi decided to give the driver the instructions to drop her off a few blocks away from her brother's company. 

Taking the cash out of her dress pocket, Mimi hands the driver his payment.

"Here you go, mister! Thanks for the ride!"

Hopping out of the car, she skips down the block clutching her pink satchel with a grin on her face. The driver watches the little girl skip away. Looking down at the cash in his hand, his eyes nearly pop out of its sockets.

T-ten-dollars?!

The original price was fifty-six-dollars because of the long distance from the company to the bus stop Mimi stood by where she waited for her cab. 

Surprisingly the driver wasn't mad, she was just a small child who was probably naïve to the original price and only gave him what she brought.

Sighing he couldn't help but find his luck unfortunate. Next time, he'll be sure to not drive clueless children.

Little did he know that Mimi purposely gave him the wrong amount of cash. To Mimi, every step in the plan needed to be perfect including the drive there.

She intentionally walked to the bus station away from her home because didn't want the driver to know where she lived especially with the large structure of the house he'd assume she was rich.

Mimi then instructed the driver her destination which was a couple of blocks away from the company because she knew he'd be suspicious of why a "poor" little girl was going to a large company.

Mimi had only brought one-hundred dollars in cash with her but felt like saving the money for a special occasion.

Grinning ear to ear, Mimi walks across the busy street. Turning around the corner she sees a tall glass building with the words VIVA on it.

Looks pretty decent.

Putting on an innocent childlike expression Mimi enters the glass building, awe written on her round face. As the little girl walks in, she catches the eyes of many workers. To them when they saw Mimi walking in with her purple dress and cute hairstyle they assumed she walked into the wrong building.

A few woman workers couldn't help but fawn over the cute little girl who slowly walked in her mouth hung open as she looked up at the glass ceiling. Approaching the receptionist, Mimi hops up to catch her attention due to her small height.

Noticing a purple little bun hopping in front of the desk, the reception lady leans over to meet eyes with a pair of light purple gems. Looking up at the reception lady, Mimi gives her an innocent shy blush before composing herself to speak.

"Um, excuse me, miss," Mimi says looking up at the receptionist. "I'm here to see my big brother by any chance could you let him know I'm here?"

Completely entranced in Mimi's soft look and shy voice the receptionist smiles warmly at Mimi.

"Of course, may I know your big brother's name?"

"Alec!" Mimi says putting on a proud smile.

Finding the first name familiar, the receptionist decides to push aside her thoughts.

"Do you know his last name?" She asks picking up the phone to hold it up to her ear.

"Mhm, it's Hirogori! Alec Hirogori!" Mimi beams loudly.

Workers passing by nearly faint when they hear the name coming out from the little girl's mouth.

Alec Hirogori?! The owner of the company?! Is she his sister?
