"B-Brother, I can't handle this much responsibility," Akira's eyes widened with a slight tremble as she held the document with a shaky hand, her eyes genuinely asking for help from her brother.
"No, you need to grow up, Akira. Sign it," Abhishek shook his head, clearly neglecting and rejecting the responsibility his sister was not expecting while trying to show his generous side in front of the lawyers.
This was all a simple method for him to manipulate things in his favor, given that most of the time they thought about how he kept rejecting responsibility, while his sister wanted to run from hers.
"I-I understand," Akira looked downward, seemingly hurt by his words before taking the pen and signing the document, causing Abhishek's eyes to widen as he stood from his sofa, hastily moving towards her before yanking the document from her hand.
"What are you doing!?" Abhishek shouted, pulling the papers towards himself in disbelief at his sister, who dared to sign the document, prompting everyone to look at him in surprise. Of course, they were acting, but whatever the case, they were shocked to see how he yelled at a disabled woman.
"B-Brother?" Akira's eyes trembled as she looked towards Abhishek, who had just snatched the paper from her hand when she was merely signing the document with a pen that still had a cap on, clearly acting to fool him.
Naturally, if she wanted, she could have just forced him and made him act like a slave. But by doing so, he would not be able to act the way he usually did in front of others, raising suspicion as they would start to turn towards her and become harder in her path since she needed to distract others' attention from herself, appearing as low-key as possible.
"Th-that's," Abhishek, suddenly hearing his sister's voice, saw her shocked expression and realized that he had just broken his facade due to getting overwhelmed by anger, causing him to adjust himself as he looked towards the document, closing the file as he glanced towards the lawyers. "It seems my sister can't take responsibility, so I will take it."
".....So, you are trying to force your sister and snatch her share, Mr. Abhishek," the senior lawyer said in a firm tone, glaring at Abhishek, causing him to slightly flinch as he felt that maybe his words were wrong and could create problems for him, causing him to glance towards the file and his sister, who appeared surprised upon hearing him, trembling while looking at him.
'Damn this idiot,' Abhishek couldn't help but curse inwardly, given how instead of acting properly, this woman had forced him to act out of character by signing the document, as he, controlling himself, added, "No, I can't see my sister burdened by responsibilities; she should just enjoy her life."
"...And how do you want to do it?" the senior lawyer pressured Abhishek, as if trying to push him into a corner, which was the true aim of his arrival here.
"Um, Akira, do you want something to spend your time on?" Being pressured by the lawyer, Abhishek couldn't help but cling towards Akira, inquiring about what she wanted, though of course, he was clearly determined to reject any outrageous demands he made even at the cost of depleting his image.
"That," Akira's voice trembled, her eyes looking towards Abhishek before she added with a smile, "I-I like flowers, and I saw a flower shop beside the library I go to daily; can I have that shop?"
Akira was well aware that Abhishek was keeping an eye on her movements through several spies, which is why she didn't hesitate to reveal where she went daily and her interest in getting that flower shop.
After all, a small flower shop or a hotel group— which would her brother choose?
"Huh? That shop? Take it," Abhishek suddenly recalled the scheme he was trying to implement, given that he was aware of her habit of always visiting a library. By taking control of the flower shop, he wanted to slowly get his hands on the library and eventually close it by opening a bar or something; it was a type of revenge he wanted to impose on this woman.
But it appeared he should drop that idea and give her that shop in exchange for this hotel group.

"Uncle, that's my lollipop?!" a small child yelled as he saw a man in a suit passing beside him, taking the lollipop which he had just unwrapped.
"Purchase another one," Damien, unwrapping the lollipop, put it into his mouth and directly moved towards an empty alley, heading towards the place where he could be alone, mostly searching for a Lonesark.
Naturally, when meeting that woman, he had never expected that a supporting character would be that strong. And things would escalate wrong since the moment he entered the flower shop and observed their status window; it was quite a drama.
A lady of flowers at Nascent Soul Level, a disabled young woman at Foundation Establishment Realm, and finally, the woman holding the wheelchair supporting it at Golden Core Level.
If it wasn't for noticing their status window, Damien would have applied the same tactics on Akira he had done with Emilia, given they both were supporting characters, but it appeared that this particular woman would be a hard nut to crack.
"Where is it?" While moving, with one hand holding a pamphlet written about getting loans at a very low interest rate, he moved inside an alley where several individuals appeared to be smoking and drinking, as if some kind of criminal hub stood glaring at his direction from time to time.
Though, of course, he also appeared the same as them, given how, not to create a hassle, he had also opened his collar and was holding a stick-like cigarette in his mouth, though, of course, it was a lollipop, to seem like these criminals, before arriving near a building that appeared to be a broken hut.
