064. Gratitude
Walking out of the cinema, Okada Yukiko stopped a taxi.
She put her shoulder bag on her knees and put her hands on it. She put her head on her head, and contained a suicide note.
What I have seen, felt, thoughts, inner distress, and the “why” that I have not been able to ask, but not get the answer, as well as the confusion and sadness that I have just begun to fall in love with Toru Mineki but have been alienated.
What is left behind in the life that is about to end is problems and unhappiness.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..." Asakuk Hayakawa hung up the phone, feeling anxious.
Today, I booked a program that will be recorded from 9 o'clock. Because Yukiko Okada was missing, I had no choice but to apologize to the TV station and blocked it with the excuse of Yukiko Okada's severe physical discomfort.
Fortunately, it was not a live show. Even so, the TV station was still in a fit of anger after suddenly playing pigeons.
Thinking of going to the TV station in person to apologize to the producer in person, Hayakawa Asako was one of the top two, and blamed Okada Yukiko in her heart. How could she cause trouble like this willfulness?!
Asako Hayakawa felt that Akiko Okada was not as obedient as when she first debuted.
She was either taciturn or depressed, and sometimes showed silent resistance, as if the belated period of resistance had arrived. However, Hayakawa Asako didn't expect that she would really disappear suddenly.
I couldn't find out what she was abnormal, actually, I think back to yesterday, Okada Yukiko said that she didn't want to attend the premiere once, and something was wrong at that time. However, in the office, when she was criticized for her poor supervision, Asako Hayakawa did not dare to add fuel to the fire and told her about it.
Asakusa Hayakawa listed the places that Okada Yukiko might have been thinking about, and friends who might have visited were checking these all morning, for fear of disturbing the media, so they had to make secret visits.
While doing these things, Hayakawa Asako discovered that Okada's Akiko had a lack of interpersonal relationships. After three years in the year of going to Kyoto, there were few friends and few activities.
It was almost noon, and Asako Hayakawa still found nothing. At this time, she thought about whether Yukiko Okada would return to the apartment after all, this was her only place to stay in Tokyo.
When she returned to Aoyama's apartment, Hayakawa Asako didn't ring the doorbell and opened the door with the key. As soon as she walked in, she saw Okada Yukiko's shoes placing in the entrance hall. However, before the attack, she smelled a strong smell of gas.
Before she could take off her shoes, Hayakawa Asoko rushed to the kitchen.
She saw Yukiko Okada lying in the kitchen, with her hideous wounds turning out on her wrist with her left hand.
Hayakawa Asako was dizzy and forced herself to hold back her nausea and turned off the gas, opened all the windows, then came to Okada Yukiko's side and hugged her, "Yukiko!"
Okada Yukiko in her arms was in pain and sent out Shinko.
"Ambulance!" This was Hayakawa Asako's first reaction.
However, when the emergency number was broadcast, Hayakawa Asoko hurriedly called Mizuguchi Noburo to report the incident, she heard that she had called an ambulance, and Mizuguchi Noburo sweated anxiously.
"As soon as the ambulance arrives, it will definitely alarm the media, and it will be bad at that time." Mizuguchi Noburo said.
When a popular idol commits suicide, once such a thing is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable. What Mizuguchi Noburo said may be correct. If Hayakawa Asoko had given some buffering time, she might not have chosen to call the first aid number.
However, I witnessed Okada Yukiko lying there with my own eyes, and Asako Hayakawa could not be as calm as she was.
Jiang is old, and Shinoro Miraguchi thought of the key point and reminded Asoko Hayakawa, "Look in the room to see if there are any suicide notes or something like that."
"Yes!" Asako Hayakawa put down the phone and looked around the room. He didn't look for it specifically, and the envelope with the words "Suicide" was placed on the kitchen counter.
She reported the situation to Noburo Miguchi, who signaled her to collect the suicide note first.
No matter what, the kid is ready to go, so he can only save the person first and then find a way to remedy it. The ambulance arrived quickly and carried Okada Yukiko onto a stretcher. Hayakawa Asako took off her suit jacket, covered her wound, and then got into the car.
To commit suicide by cutting your wrists requires great pain. Not only that, the success rate of this self-destruction method is very low. Okada Yukiko didn't know this, which may be a blessing. Although she unscrewed the gas, she found it early and did not inhale too much. After being sent to the hospital, she quickly woke up and had four stitches on her wrist.
A false alarm, the fear that just now turned into a blame for Okada Yukiko at this moment.
People are so strange.
"Yukiko, you really..."
When Okada Yukiko was taken to the hospital, Mizuguchi Shinoro also arrived. On the one hand, he knew that he should not blame her at this time, but on the other hand, he believed that this happened was a manifestation of her lack of professionalism and was dissatisfied with her.
This was discovered by Mizuguchi Noburo, who aimed to become a girl who became the "Sun Goddess". He bet on her the firm's next fate, but she did this.
However, the fate of hundreds of adults who rely on her to make a living is too heavy.
Okada Yukiko sat on the clinic bed blankly, deafing everything outside, but she looked nothing on the surface, but she was filled with fear inside. She knew she had caused a big disaster.
Suicide is the strongest resistance a person can do in his life, but once he attempts suicide, his tragic fate will be suppressed like never before. He will stop working and cause suicide storms. If he dies, these are irrelevant things, but since he survives, it will become a big trouble he has caused.
In addition, there is the most important thing, where is the suicide note that has been cut off all its thoughts? If it is seen or even made public...
Survival is human instinct. Now, thinking about this, I was rescued from the brink of death and regained my new life and the short joy of life disappeared, leaving only my fear of the future.
"The situation should be stable, right?" Outside the diagnosis and treatment room, Shinoro Mizuguchi communicated with the doctor.
"There should be no major physical condition, but it is recommended to stay in the hospital for one night. In addition, Okada Sang's psychological state also needs urgent attention..." The doctor suggested.
Mizuguchi Noburo only heard the front "there is nothing serious about physical problems" and breathed a sigh of relief. Since the body was not important, in order not to attract reporters, he was discharged from the hospital directly.
But now she is like this and dare not let her go back. In the end, she actually took her back to the office of the office.
At this time, Okada Yukiko's attempted suicide had already been reported to the senior management of the firm, but whether it was to blame her or to express doubts about the reasons for the suicide, it was more important to discuss the next countermeasures.
The ambulance picked up Okada Yukiko from Aoyama's apartment. The neighbors must have noticed it. There are probably many witnesses, and they will definitely be transmitted to the media. Since that is the case, we have to make plans early.
Back at the office, Miraguchi Noburo handed Okada Yukiko to Asako Hayakawa and went to attend the temporary meeting by himself. Before leaving, he called Asako Hayakawa aside, "Where is the suicide note you found?"
"Here." Asako Hayakawa was ready and handed over the envelope.
Shinoro Mizuguchi took the envelope, did not take it apart, and put it directly into the suit bag and walked to the conference room upstairs. At the meeting, he suggested that the incident be disguised as a simple gas leak and announced it to the public. He did not mention the suicide note.
This suggestion has been responded to, and it is indeed an insurance solution right now.
"Today or tomorrow, I will arrange for Yukiko to appear publicly. As long as she stands on the stage, no rumors will arise." A director added the plan.
In the conference room, everyone expressed their opinions.
In the office downstairs of the conference room, the company staff took turns to persuade Okada Yukiko. All kinds of similar words were repeated over and over again, but she just listened silently, no matter who persuaded her, she had no reaction.
Finally, the discussion in the conference room ended, and the incident where the parties were absent was announced to have settled. A director named Guan and Mizuguchi Noburo came together to announce the result of the meeting to Okada Yukiko.
She listened without any expression, and was trembling in her heart. She was occupied by an idea and caused a big disaster. In this way, she would definitely have no shame to survive.
Okada Yukiko felt that the future ahead was more cruel than the past.
If so, it would be better to die.
The girl who had no master of the six gods thought of the most direct way. But this time, she committed suicide not because she wanted to resist all this and wanted to break free from this sorrow, but because of her fear of everything unknown next.
"Yukiko," Director Guan looked serious. "The firm has high hopes for you, regard you as a pillar of the future, and cultivate you with all your strength. You should be grateful. If you have such a grateful feeling, you would never do such a thing."
If this is persuasion, it must be the worst way to persuade. Okada Yukiko's uneasiness is even heavier.
Thank you?
She also wanted to thank her with gratitude. However, being the chosen person made her lose herself, she couldn't say thank you. The most trusted Noburo Mizuguchi, she might be even more sorry for her.
The once gentle and kind Torukito said that being involved with her was the most troublesome thing in life, and she couldn't say thank you.
At this moment, a person's name appeared in her mind.
Not long ago, the only person who said to her "relax and move forward" gave her the simplest encouragement in this period of time.
Okada Yukiko had another sentence of "thank you" but couldn't say to him.
Director Guan and Noburo Mizuguchi announced the result and left the office. For a moment, only Okada Yukiko and Hayakawa Asako were here. At this time, Okada Yukiko suddenly spoke, "I'm sorry."
"What?" Hayakawa Asako was startled.
"I'm sorry," said Okada Yukiko, "San Hayakawa, I'm hungry and want to eat something."
"That's it?" Hayakawa Asako thought she was going to say something big.
Okada Yukiko nodded shyly, revealing the girlish expression. Asakuk Hayakawa remembered that before the names of "Matsuda Holyko's successor" and "Sunmusic's next post", she was an eighteen-year-old girl.
Stay with each other day...
Asakusa Hayakawa's heart also softened, "I'll go and warm the bento for you and come back soon. Let Wada Sang, whom I just came in and accompany you?"
"I don't like talking to Wada Sang." Okada Yukiko acted coquettishly with her.
Asakusa Hayakawa shook his head helplessly, "There's no way to deal with you." Thinking about it, I couldn't go long, and there were people from the firm walking around outside. Besides, taking the initiative to eat was also a manifestation of vitality, so I followed her.
After Hayakawa Asako walked out of the office, Okada Yukiko's eyes fell on the table. There was Hayakawa Asako's file bag there, and she knew that the agent had always put the business card box outside.
At least say thank you.
Okada Yukiko stood up gently, took out the business card box, and found Shinichi Iwahashi inside. She picked up the receiver and pressed the buttons seriously, but she didn't even consider whether she could connect.
"Francis, what do you want to say?"
Francis said faintly, "Thank you."
After three rings, the phone was connected.
"Hello, I am the Iwabashi made by Watanabe." A young voice came from the other end.
Chapter completed!
