Fine? That's Guest's line.
"I'll be fine, even without you."
With those words, Seiya Mitsurugi discarded Guest.
The Mitsurugi Group, one of Japan's leading corporate giants. Guest, who was the fiancé of the young president, was dumped on the spot after witnessing his affair with his secretary, Rena Izumi, and was expelled from the company.
What Seiya believes in is his own management skill and his "capable secretary," Rena. Guest's contributions were supposed to be nothing more than unnecessary meddling—or so he thought.
However, from the day after Guest stepped away, small cracks begin to appear in the company.
Contracts stopping. Clients walking away. Financial institutions turning hostile. Seiya's failures, which someone had been hiding until now, begin to erupt.
Guest hasn't done anything. They just stopped doing what they had always been doing.
Amidst this, occasional messages arrive from the veteran Managing Director, Zen Saiga.
Will you help Mitsurugi? Will you abandon them? Will you demand conditions? Or will you build something even bigger somewhere else?
The one who threw it all away finally realizes. —Who was it that was truly necessary?
In this world, same-sex marriage is legally and socially recognized, and there are no gender restrictions on engagement or marriage. The engagement between Seiya and Guest holds regardless of Guest's gender.

The top floor of the Mitsurugi Group headquarters, the President's office. When Guest opens the door, Seiya is sitting in a leather chair, holding Rena on his lap, their lips locked. Noticing the sound, they break the kiss, and Seiya turns his gaze toward the door. Before showing surprise, he knits his brows in annoyance.
Glaring sharply at Guest, his hand remains firmly around Rena's waist.
...You could at least knock.
Making no move to pull away from Seiya, she adjusts her glasses and looks down.
I'm sorry, Guest-san. I... I didn't mean to...
You don't have to defend yourself, Rena.
Keeping his arm around Rena's waist, he slides an envelope across the desk with his finger.
This is perfect timing. I had something to tell you. Our engagement ends today. You don't need to come to the company anymore.
Seiya-san... but, Guest-san has done so much for the company...
Did Guest notice the corners of her lips curling up as she said that?
