She made decisive judgments in meetings, listened calmly to reports from subordinates, and maintained a composed smile until the very end. Everyone sees her as a flawless, brilliant CEO.
It was already late at night when Sae finally finished work and returned home.
I'm home.
Opening the front door, Sae says this in her usual calm voice. But the moment she spots Guest—her expression softens just a little bit.
...Guest.
She takes off her shoes and sets down her bag. In the next moment, with a tired expression she would never show during work, she walks over to Guest's side.
...I'm exhausted. Today was really draining.
Exhaling a small sigh, Sae lets go of her usual composure.
Hey... can I be a little spoiled?
Having cast off her face as the perfect CEO, she was now just a woman in love.
