The days flew by very quickly, in the blink of an eye the holidays had already came to an end. School students returned to school and working people went back to work.

On the first day after the holidays she woke up early and prepared Madara's breakfast leaving a note that she would be at work and locked the door with her keys. She reached the office earlier than usual, as soon as she stood inside the company building, she saw one of the managers. Asano Yuki, manager of the planning department.

*FL was given a list of people's name and pictures by second male lead to remember colleagues that are somewhat important

Miss Asano was a overly-energetic character, well informed with a very nosy personality and innate ability to read others mind. Almost nothing could escape her eyes, brain and mouth. From the earthquake in Chile to yen exchange rates, from the scandals of top stars to idols currently popular over the internet. In other words she was very well versed in the art of gossip.

When she saw her, she greeted her with a small nod intending to leave swiftly. The star gossiper was not only eloquent but also lithe. The agile miss Asano caught up easily and mysteriously said "Secretary Kisaragi, did you hear?"

"What?" She asked flatly.

Hearing her response encouraged her further, with her two irises shining like glitter she said "A new marketing director had been transferred to our company and he is terribly handsome"

Oh, the supposedly handsome man did not pique her interest, if anything she has had enough with these 'handsome men', Mr. Akiyama was like a mosquito, making her want to slap him like the bug he was and her husband was a handful. She is convinced 'handsome men' are abnormal to some degree.

Seeing that Seira did not care, she assumed she must not have believed her words so she vowed and said "It's true, I saw him with my own eyes! Furthermore he is not just a handsome face he also has this gentle and divine aura. Really classy!"

To call this unknown man 'classy', Miss Asano was really getting carried away with her emotions. She continued to brag about the new marketing director, Asano was still chatting to her one-sidedly when a voice suddenly came from behind "Secretary Kisaragi, you came early today"

She turned around, the voice belonged to Akiyama. Miss Asano smiled in an extremely sweet voice said "Director Akiyama"

He nodded his head once towards her and did not forget to put on his 'cheap' smile that could 'kill' the females in seconds. She silently watched from the side not saying anything. When the elevator came, they both entered "Aiya, Secretary Kisaragi, are you jealous?"

She indifferently glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and replied "Mr. Akiyama how are you feeling after reinstalling your computer system?"

His facial expression changed instantly, looking at her angrily and resentfully said "All your husband did was a small anti-hacking trick. Even a novice can perform such kind of stunt. You really should not consider him as some big shot"

Excuses. She rolled her eyes, too lazy to react to his words.

*Time skip

Akiyama handed her a document folder, gave her instructions to give it to the manager of the marketing department and on her way ask the new marketing director to meet in his office after a while. She silently obeyed, taking the folder from him and left quietly.

Before she could open the door of the marketplace manager's office, she went to turn the doorknob but someone opened the door too suddenly from inside she ended up colliding with the other party.

When the man saw an unidentified object lunging forward from outside, he frantically caught that object, her.

When she promptly raises her head, she saw his face and said coldly "Let go" in response to her icy tone he released his hold on her.

Inui Takamura. He looked down at her, obviously very shocked at the moment. He looked at her in disbelief and murmured "Sei-chan?"

She ignored him and walked past him to the manager, handing over the document file to the marketing manager, asking "What is the name of the new marketing director?"

"His name is Inui Takamura, he just stepped out" the manager replied. Oh, how fantastic. She walked towards Inui who was still standing in front of the door like a statue. "Director Inui, Director Akiyama has invited you to join him in his office" she said in a formal tone.

Silence.

She was going to repeat herself when she thought he did not hear her, but he opened his mouth. Faintly uttered "Sei-chan"

"Director Inui, please call me Secretary Kisaragi" she did not spare him a glance and walked out of his office. From the sounds of footsteps she could guess that he was following her.

She felt a headache but ignored it, focusing on her work even completely shutting out the frustrated Akiyama who asked her multiple questions with no response from the other party.

"Kisaragi Seira, Are you listening to me or not?" He bellowed furiously, this time her gaze left her screen, asked "Director Akiyama, did you say something?"

He asked her what was wrong with her, thus she told him she felt unwell. He had wanted to take her to a hospital but she very calmly rejected his offer, 'There is no need for that, could I trouble you to give me half a day off?" He consented with a nod. "In case there is any problem, do remember to call your boss" he said from behind.

"Ok, Thank you Director"

She got home, wearingly leaned on the couch, once she did she felt a wave of tiredness overcome her and fell into a deep slumber.

It was unexpected that she would run into a former friend. Briefly put Inui was the only male she considered a friend as he had grown up along side Sakuya and her but he moved away, they all kept in touch but he became distant with them because his girlfriend at the time did not like either of them, supposedly thinking they would threaten her relationship.

Although she did not blame him for not spending time with them, he became so 'infatuated' with the girl that he even dared to accuse her of bullying her. After that she did not bother to keep in contact, why should see when someone she regarded as a friend held her accountable for his dear lovers 'tears'. It seems he did not know her well. An irrelevant thing like her, she would not waste her time on.
