The next mont, he hastily squeezed out a forced smile and approached Shiroko. "Young Master Hanyu, I was blind just now. Please be the bigger person and don't take my offense to heart."
Watching the man bow and scrape, a playful smirk tugged at the corners of Shiroko's lips. "What's this? Is Mr. Nakano no longer accusing of talking big?"
"You must be joking, Young Master Hanyu. I was completely blind! Completely blind!"
"Enough! I can't be bothered to argue with you."
Waving his hand dismissively, Shiroko then looked at Shiraishi Momoko in front of him. "Momoko, let's go."
Being addressed so intimately, a faint pink hue instantly dusted the young woman's cheeks.
She nodded gently and followed after him.
Afterward, having lost all interest in attending a eting that dragged on endlessly, Shiroko left the building directly with Shiraishi Momoko.
In the car, the young woman widened her innocent eyes and asked in confusion, "Boss, where are we going now?"
"To buy a villa to stay in temporarily. In a few days, I'll take you back to Mihara City. From now on, you'll be my exclusive little secretary, helping handle all my trivial affairs."
"Buy a villa? To stay in temporarily..."
Faced with Shiroko's absurdly wealthy declaration, Shiraishi Momoko's brain instantly short-circuited.
Having grown up in a rural village and relied on work-study programs to complete her education, she simply could not comprehend such extravagant behavior.
Seeing her adorable, dumbfounded expression, Shiroko couldn't resist reaching out and vigorously rubbing her small head.
In an instant, a brilliant sunset hue spread across the young woman's fair and pretty face.
After a long mont, seeing that he had no intention of stopping, Shiraishi Momoko mustered her courage and spoke up. "B-Boss, this counts as harassnt, you know."
"Sorry! Sorry! You were just too cute just now, Momoko, so I couldn't hold back for a mont..."
Saying this, Shiroko apologetically withdrew his hand.
Hearing his words, the blush on Shiraishi Momoko's face deepened even further.
anwhile, seeing that Shiroko hadn't returned for quite so ti, Sugimoto Ichiro specifically went out to look for him.
He then learned from the staff that Shiroko had already left, and that he had gotten into a conflict with Nakano Hirokawa, the man in charge of recruitnt.
Thus, without the slightest hesitation, Sugimoto Ichiro directly ordered Nakano's dismissal.
Although Shiroko had said he wouldn't hold it against him, how could an old fox like Sugimoto Ichiro fail to see that the young master had intentionally left the matter for him to handle?
His attitude in handling this would directly correspond to the Hanyu Group's subsequent attitude toward them.
Choosing between the corporation's future and an old employee was an incredibly easy decision, wasn't it?!
'Did I really think that much about it? How co I didn't know!'
Not long after, with three hundred million yen transferred out of his account, Shiroko purchased a three-hundred-square-ter villa on Xiangshan Road, complete with a front garden and a backyard swimming pool.
Lying on a sun lounger in the backyard, Shiroko couldn't help but feel a bit helpless as he looked at Shiraishi Momoko standing gracefully beside him, her hands clasped over her lower abdon with a completely serious expression.
"Momoko, it's just the two of us right now. There's no need for you to be so serious. Co, lie down and soak up so sun with ."
Hearing this, the young woman hurriedly shook her head like a rattle drum. "I can't! I'm just a secretary, and you're the boss. I can't..."
Faced with such a dutiful, even sowhat old-fashioned girl, Shiroko could only fight fire with fire. "Alright then! I now order you to lie down and sunbathe with !"
"But..."
"What! Are you going to disobey your boss's orders?"
"Alright then!"
Seeing Shiroko's face stiffen as if he were getting angry, Shiraishi Momoko had no choice but to agree.
Lying on the sun lounger with the warm sunlight spilling over her body, a sweet smile graced the young woman's face.
Afterward, the two began to chat casually. "Momoko, is your hotown in Kanna?"
"My hotown is a small village in Hokkaido. I only ca to Kanna City for university. I originally planned to find a job here after graduation, but I never expected to et you, Boss!"
"And eting ..."
They sunbathed until past three in the afternoon. Feeling the temperature gradually dropping, Shiroko finally stood up.
Seeing Shiroko get up, Shiraishi Momoko didn't dare to continue sunbathing and hurriedly sat up from her lounger.
"I haven't gone swimming in a long ti. Do you want to join , Momoko?"
"N-No, thank you!"
Seeing the young woman's reluctant expression, Shiroko didn't force the issue.
He went to his room, changed into a pair of black swimming trunks, took a short running start, and plunged heavily into the pool, splashing a massive wave of water.
A mont later, watching Shiroko erge from the water under the sunlight with his eight-pack abs on full display, an alluring blush surfaced on the young woman's cheeks once again.
Having lived for over twenty years, this was the first ti she had seen the body of a man other than her father or younger brother. It was simply too embarrassing!
That evening, while eating the sukiyaki Shiraishi Momoko had prepared, Shiroko couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "This is absolutely delicious. I never expected you to have such amazing culinary skills, Momoko!"
Hearing Shiroko's praise, the corners of Shiraishi Momoko's eyes gradually curved into happy crescents. "You flatter , Boss. I just enjoy cooking, so I like to experint with it whenever I have free ti."
Stuffing another piece of Wagyu beef into his mouth, Shiroko waved his hand to beckon her. "Don't just stand there, hurry up and sit down to eat with !"
"You're the boss, I..."
Seeing that she was about to say sothing about how a secretary shouldn't sit with her boss, Shiroko directly cut her off. "Enough! It's just the two of us right now. Don't be so old-fashioned, hurry up and sit down!"
As he spoke, he stood up, forcefully pulled her over to a chair, and gently but firmly pushed her down into it!
He then returned to his seat, called out, "Hurry up and eat!" and resud devouring the food in front of him.
Watching him wolf down the al, faint tears shimred in Shiraishi Momoko's beautiful eyes.
The next mont, she picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of leafy green vegetable, and placed it in her mouth, chewing softly.
Today's sukiyaki seed even more delicious than any she had made before.
Early the next morning, while Shiroko was still fast asleep, a gentle call drifted into his ears. "Boss! Ti to wake up, Boss."
Groggily opening his eyes and looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Shiroko subconsciously reached out, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and then...
A long mont later, watching the young woman hurriedly flee with her head bowed and her face as red as blood, Shiroko lightly licked his lower lip, the corners of his mouth gradually curling into a smirk.
It seed that, quite unintentionally, he had drastically closed the distance between the two of them.
