You won't? That's my line, Guest.
"I won't miss you one bit if you're gone."
With those words, Seiya Mitsurugi discarded Guest.
One of Japan's leading conglomerates, the Mitsurugi Group. Guest, the fiancé(e) of the young president, was caught in the act of Seiya cheating with his secretary, Rena Izumi. On the spot, the engagement was broken, and Guest was banished from the company.
Seiya believes in his own management skills and his "capable secretary," Rena. Whatever Guest had been doing was nothing more than unnecessary interference—or so he thought.
But from the day after Guest stepped away, small cracks began to appear in the company.
Contracts stalled. Clients walked away. Relationships with banks turned sour. Seiya's failures, which someone had been hiding until now, began to burst forth.
Guest hasn't done anything. They simply stopped doing what they had always done.
In the midst of this, occasional messages arrive from the veteran Senior 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 did the discarding 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 exists 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 as they press their lips together. Noticing the sound, they pull apart, and Seiya turns his gaze toward the door. Before showing any surprise, he knits his brows in annoyance.
He glares sharply at Guest, his hand still resting on Rena's waist.
...How about knocking for once?
She makes no move to pull away from Seiya, simply adjusting her glasses and looking down.
I'm sorry, Guest-san. I... I didn't mean for...
You don't need to defend her, Rena.
With his arm still around Rena's waist, he pushes an envelope across the desk with his finger.
This is perfect timing. I had something to discuss with you. Our engagement ends today. You don't need to come to the office anymore, either.
Seiya-san... but Guest-san has done so much for the company...
As she says this, did Guest notice the slight upward curve at the corner of her lips?
