At the Sugimoto family ho, Sugimoto Shoko arrived in the living room yawning, wearing a bear pajama set.
Sugimoto Ichiro put down the newspaper in his hands and said with a gentle expression, "Shoko, why haven't you invited Yuichi out these past few days? You young people need to interact more!"
"I will invite him, Grandpa, you don't need to worry about it!"
"Good! Grandpa believes in you..."
Inside the villa, Shiroko, who was lying on the sofa silently enjoying a massage from his little secretary, suddenly received a call from Sugimoto Shoko.
"Hello~, Shoko, is sothing the matter?"
"Yuichi-kun, I want to invite you to play tennis. Are you interested?"
"Tennis? That sounds good. Where are you right now? I'll co pick you up!"
"I'm at..."
After putting down the phone and feeling a faint sense of resentnt welling up behind him, Shiroko turned his head.
Then, he saw the young girl with her cherry lips slightly pouted, wearing an aggrieved expression. "Momoko, what's wrong?"
Hearing this, the girl turned her small head to the side and shook it gently. "It's nothing!"
Looking at Shiraishi Momoko, who was acting like a child, Shiroko raised an eyebrow slightly, then stood up and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
With a slight pull, she uncontrollably fell into his embrace.
"Boss, you..."
Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, the girl subconsciously tried to say sothing, but was blocked by a descending shadow.
After a long while, pinching the cheek of the girl who had gone completely limp in his arms, Shiroko explained gently, "That was the eldest daughter of the Sugimoto Group just now. Since she invited , it wouldn't be good for to refuse, right?"
Seeing that Shiroko was actually willing to explain things to her, the corners of the girl's eyes slowly curved into a smile, but she remained stubborn. "I'm just a little secretary. You don't need to explain anything to , Boss!"
Little did she know, her inner thoughts had long been completely seen through by Shiroko.
Thus, in the next mont, the large hand on her waist slowly...
"You're not just a little secretary~"
Hurriedly pressing down on his mischievous hand, Shiraishi Momoko said hastily, "Boss, you should hurry up and go. It wouldn't be good if you make Miss Sugimoto wait too long!"
Hearing this, Shiroko didn't continue. He nodded. "Alright! Then I'll be going now."
Then, he suddenly rembered sothing. "By the way, let's have sushi for dinner. I've been eating a bit too much greasy food lately, so I want sothing light."
"Mhm!"
A mont later, Shiroko got up and left. Watching his gradually disappearing back, a faint blush appeared on the girl's cheeks.
After softly muttering "Bad boss," she humd a little tune and went to the kitchen to start preparing the ingredients for sushi.
Ten or so minutes later, Shiroko picked up Sugimoto Shoko at an intersection. Beside her stood a young man with a cold expression.
Seeing his recent inner thoughts, Shiroko raised an eyebrow slightly.
'The rift between the two of them is getting bigger and bigger~'
"Yuichi-kun!"
Seeing Shiroko, Sugimoto Shoko greeted him with cheerful steps.
"Sorry Shoko, I kept you waiting!"
Shaking her head with a faint smile, the girl actually hugged Shiroko's arm right in front of the young man. "It's fine, Yuichi-kun, let's go!"
As she spoke, her gaze seemingly inadvertently glanced at the young man beside them.
Noticing that he didn't have the slightest reaction, the girl intensified her actions, causing the arm in front of her to completely sink into her softness.
Although she was using him as a tool to anger the young man, Shiroko didn't have the slightest awareness of being treated as a tool.
The next mont, he actually reached out and rubbed her cute little head with a doting expression. "Alright! Let's go!"
This action instantly caused the girl's brain to short-circuit.
'Wait, what? You're just a tool, who gave you permission to touch ?!'
But then, catching a glimpse of the bulging veins on the young man's temples, she felt a burst of satisfaction in her heart.
'Hmph! Now you know how it feels to be anxious. Don't think that just because I like you, you can act so fearlessly...'
Imdiately after, the girl spoke indifferently, "Jinno, you can go back first. I'll just go with Yuichi-kun. He'll take ho later."
After saying that, she looked at Shiroko. "Isn't that right, Yuichi-kun?"
"Of course!"
Seeing her blatantly rubbing it in his face, the young man roared furiously in his heart: 'Damn bitch! Damn it! Damn it...'
But his face remained completely calm. "Understood, Miss!"
After accompanying Sugimoto Shoko to play tennis for a few hours—during which he went easy on her by a 'tiny' margin to let her win—Shiroko escorted her back to the Sugimoto family ho.
As they were about to part ways, catching a glimpse of the young man hiding behind a tree not far away, Shiroko rubbed the girl's head with a doting expression. "Shoko, I had a lot of fun today. Do you want to go mountain climbing with tomorrow?"
Feeling the warmth transmitted from his large hand, a faint blush appeared on the girl's cheeks, and she couldn't help but feel a bit reluctant to part with it.
However, knowing what she ultimately wanted to achieve, she still chose to refuse. "Sorry, Yuichi-kun, I have things to do tomorrow."
Despite being rejected, Shiroko wasn't the least bit annoyed. That gentle smile remained on his lips. "It's fine. We can go when you have ti."
A mont later, the two parted ways. Looking at the young man blocking her path, Sugimoto Shoko felt a leap of joy in her heart, but her face was full of indifference. "What is it..."
"Miss, you two..."
"That's none of your business!"
Saying this coldly, the girl walked past him toward the villa.
"Damn it! Damn it..."
Returning ho and tasting the sushi carefully prepared by Shiraishi Momoko, a look of enjoynt appeared on Shiroko's face. "This is truly delicious. Momoko, you really are a great candidate for a wife."
Shiroko's words couldn't even be called a hint; they were a blatant declaration.
In an instant, the girl's translucent earlobes turned as red as agate. "B-Boss, you..."
Seeing her looking so delicate and alluring, Shiroko couldn't help but feel his appetite stirred.
Just as he was about to put his thoughts into action, her phone suddenly lit up.
Looking at the caller ID, the girl hurriedly picked it up and swiped to answer. "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Sis, it's Tetsuya. Co back quickly. Mom suddenly got severely ill today and has already been sent to the hospital. Dad wouldn't let call you..."
*Clatter!*
The next mont, the phone slipped weakly to the floor. The girl's eyes instantly turned red, and tears poured down like a burst dam.
Seeing this, Shiroko hurriedly stood up and pulled her into his embrace, asking anxiously, "Momoko, what's wrong?!"
"Boss! My mom... my mom's condition has worsened. *Sob*~"
