Not the castle

'Thank you Mr Takeshi. Of course Mr. Takeshi' I beam.

The man nods and lets a small smile swim around his lips .

I continue.

'Yes indeed we can go ahead with it Mr. Takeshi.'

Nodding my head, tilting slightly, politely smiling and being absolutely genial if even subtly so.

'Always a pleasure working with you Mr Takeshi' I conclude, getting up to take my leave .
I Shake his hands and that same smile plays around his lips .

'I am' he bows briefly 'Katashi..not uh..Takeshi'
'Sorry to correct you' he says apologetically.

Had there been a burning building I'd have walked into it without as much as a murmur because that moment was infinitely embarrassing.
