――――【Ren’s Perspective】

It happened after enjoying the bondage play with Miku. As usual, I greeted the receptionist at the company when I arrived. Our department was in charge of handling clients and was staffed with attractive women. Sometimes, it wasn’t a bad idea to strike up a conversation with one of them when I felt a bit bored.

I casually spoke to the woman with long, black hair whom I had slept with three times before.

“Hey, how about going out for a meal sometime?”

“Oh, ahaha… It’s presumptuous of me to go out with someone as popular as you, Ren-kun. You should ask someone else.”

The short-haired girl next to her, whom I had been with only twice, nodded in agreement with the long-haired girl’s words.

That’s right!

I’m not that into Miku; she’s not even that great, to be honest. It’s just a casual fling.

As I rode the elevator with the girls, they huddled together, looking embarrassed and whispering to each other, probably because I was smiling at them. It seemed like I had such an effect on them that they couldn’t even breathe properly in my presence.

Sigh, spare me.

Being the handsome and popular guy with exceptional intellect and a rich family background is tough. I can’t handle all this attention.

Well, it’s all just a simple fact, though, hehe…

When I walked down the hallway on our floor, a group of three female coworkers approached. As soon as I smiled and showed my pearly white teeth, they blushed and ran away with high-pitched voices. I felt more than ever how popular I was.

Handsome guys are truly winners by birth!

Yuzuki is always bowing and using flattery to get things from me, like treating her to yakiniku or giving her massages. Haha, it must be tough for the losers in life!

Speaking of losers, Yuzuki’s the biggest loser for losing her beloved girlfriend, Miku, to me. I can’t wait to see how she’ll react when she finds out. I’ll ask Miku who was better in bed, me or Yuzuki!

I was lost in my thoughts when I arrived at our department and saw a crowd gathered around the Chief’s desk. It seemed like our Chief was having a confrontation with Kurokizawa, the Chief of the First Sales Department.

From the unmistakable tone of his voice, it was clear that Kurokizawa was the one talking.

“Chief Hinata, it’s a waste to leave Kagayama-kun under your care. Why don’t you let him work under me?”

Ah, that flamboyant tone! It was undoubtedly Kurokizawa, and it seemed like he had some sort of rivalry with our Chief.

But I can’t believe our Chief got promoted so young just because he’s good at his job. I’m sure he must have climbed up the ladder by flattering and selling himself to the executives. After all, whenever Yuzuki’s poor sales performance is brought up, this BBA (old woman) starts screaming hysterically at her. She probably can’t see through my greatness; she’s such a total idiot. If she can’t see through people, she should quit her management position right away.

“He will undoubtedly contribute more to the company under my supervision. It’s evident that you can’t handle him. Look, just by comparing his sales performance with your other subordinates’, you can tell that he’ll grow even more under my guidance.”

While looking at the wall with the sales records of everyone in our department, Kurokizawa kept praising me.

Haha, this is just my true ability!

Even if it involves dirty tactics like sleeping with higher-ups, it’s all about winning, isn’t it? You either win or lose.

But the loser, Yuzuki, who’s not only incompetent but also lost Miku, of all people, was whispering something to our Chief’s ear.

As expected of Yuzuki!

Her tactics are so petty and pathetic, it’s hilarious! She’s trying to stop me from getting promoted before her, so she’s trying to hold me back and keep me from advancing.

But the truth is, Yuzuki and I aren’t even in the same league!

“Chief Kurokizawa, are you trying to poach him…? If that’s the case, I’m sure you’ve already obtained the department head’s approval. Because it’s you, Chief Kurokizawa, you won’t back down even if I refuse.”

――――【Hinata’s Perspective】

Ren left with Kurokizawa from our department. There would still be some handovers to do, but it wasn’t clear whether he would pass the client data to the person properly taking over his tasks.

Well, I can’t tell them that he was involved in sexual favors.

After the commotion of Ren’s headhunting settled down, everyone returned to their work diligently, more energetically than when Ren was still here. It seemed that the people in our department had bitter feelings towards Ren, and they were all expressing their joy at him leaving.

Even though I thought that I should focus on my work, Ren’s absurd behavior kept making me smile. So, before going to visit the clients, I decided to stop by the break room and have a cup of coffee to calm down.

When I opened the door, the room was empty, but suddenly, I felt a soft touch and warmth on my back. It seemed like someone was hugging me from behind.

As I turned around, I saw my subordinate talking to me.

“I’m relieved. If it weren’t for Yuzuki telling me, I might have tried to keep Kagayama here. I can’t thank Yuzuki enough.”

“Chief… This is not appropriate in the workplace…”

I was puzzled by my subordinate’s open affection. After what happened in Himeno’s room after the collaboration live stream…
