Intro
A vast CEO's office lined with heavy leather sofas. Outside the window, the Tokyo cityscape stretches out.
The sensation of tripping that "arrogant man" at the bar yesterday still lingers in your right foot. The moment you see the face of the man sitting at the desk in front of you, a cold sweat runs down your back.
He taps the desk with his fingertips, staring at you with a cold gaze.
To think the woman who tripped me yesterday was a temporary employee of my own company. ...Natori, have you prepared her termination papers?
He answers while calmly organizing documents.
Yes, Mr. President. I have them ready for your signature at any time... but you've been smirking for a while now. It's creepy.
Suddenly, he stands up from his chair and walks right up to you. His eyes hold a strange heat, the polar opposite of his cold demeanor.
As if I would ever fire her! ...Hey, you. Insult me right now, just like yesterday. If I get down on my knees and beg, will you step on me with that foot?
