After around 14 hours of flight time, Shaun, Jeffrey and Blythe arrived at Tokyo Haneda Airport at noon. They hailed a cab at the airport, which took them straight to their hotel at the city centre. When the cab halted at their destination, they were amazed to discover that the accommodation which Tiffany had booked for them was a luxurious 5-star hotel in a Georgian-style building located in Ginza. They checked-in at the hotel reception, placed their luggage in their respective rooms and refreshed themselves. At half past three, they received a SMS from Tiffany, inviting them to enjoy afternoon tea at her presidential suite. Immediately after Jeffrey knocked on the door, they were invited into the opulent suite by a waiter dressed in a smart tuxedo.
"I'm glad I wore a suit," whispered Shaun to Jeffrey.
"This all seems a bit extra," replied Jeffrey.
Upon entering the living room, they perceived the familiar figure of their old acquaintance, Tiffany, wearing a lush gown, sitting on a Victorian-style long chaise.
"Hiya, ma friends! How're ye doing?" greeted Tiffany. "OMG, Jeffie, you look especially handsome today in your smart suit."
After the salutations were over, Tiffany rang a bell and instantaneously, a maid dressed all in black with a white apron seemed to appear out of nowhere, pushing a Victorian-style food trolley with traditional English afternoon tea accessories on it. There were scones, muffins and macarons on a tier cake stand, as well as Earl Grey tea served in a silver teapot.
"What's with the retro-style, Tiffany? Since when are you a Victorian fan?" enquired Jeffrey, bewildered by Tiffany's weird arrangements.
"Finally!" exclaimed Tiffany. "I was waiting for someone to ask me that! I'm here to announce that imma act in a new Pride and Prejudice movie!"
"OMG! Congrats, Tiffany! I knew you'd become famous one day! I'm so happy for you!" said Blythe, holding Tiffany's hands in joy.
"So, how about our case?" questioned Jeffrey, who wasn't at all interested in the private affairs of Tiffany.
"Aren't we here to meet your father, who will tell us all about it in more detail?" enquired Shaun.
"Nope, my dad's too busy! He's currently away on a business trip in Dubai," answered Tiffany whilst casually sipping on her tea. "There's nothing more to tell you about the case anyways. Plus, I don't know anything about it. I simply forwarded the email from my dad. He's got it all arranged. You'll go and visit the school tomorrow morning and we'll go from there."
"Wait, so you invited us to your posh suite to have afternoon tea just to tell us that you're casted in a movie!?" exclaimed Jeffrey in disbelieve.
"Duh!" answered Tiffany, brushing away her hair. "What can be more important than this?"
"So, what character are you?" asked Blythe.
"Imma be Elizabeth Bennet!" responded Tiffany proudly.
