Chapter 1

Everything is going fine. Ever since the big incident that happened two years ago, it has been unusually very calm and peaceful. I go to the office as usual 7 am in the morning. It has been tiring yet satisfying. And I can ask no more. That incident is something which is not directly related to me but it made a quite an impact on me and my life. But I don’t want to think about bad stuffs early in the morning… so let’s just forget about it. And it is alright now.

I took the toast out of the toaster and had a great breakfast with milk. It usually takes thirty minutes to reach the office. My mind was flooded with so many thoughts. So before I know, I realized that I reached the office. I went straight to my floor because my boss gets cranky even if I get a little late. I took lift and pushed my floor number. The lift was going to stop but then I heard the voice coming from all over the hallway.

“Wait!!!!! I am coming. Please wait!”

Luckily I heard that in time or else he had to wait a good ten minutes. And because I know that being late is like a hell in this office so I stooped the lift. He was literally running his lungs out.

“Thank you! You saved my day.”

He could barely breathe but he thanked heartedly. I nodded in response. I didn’t notice from afar but then I figured that this was the new face I have come crossed. He must a new employee. His face was delicate and sense of innocence could be seen all over his face. As if he is new to this entire world and don’t know the world’s rule yet or how cruel this world can get. Well, that is not my business at all. But this can’t change the fact that was quite a unique face.

He had this big round eye that reminded me of the rabbit. His eyelashes were so long, face that was so bright that was so hard for me look away from it. It was as if my eyes were captured and wanted to take a personal image in my eyes. I was curious about him and wanted to know more about him, so I tried to start the conversation.

“Are you new employee?”

“Oh yes! Today is my first day here. And again, thank you so much for helping me earlier.”

“Well that wasn’t a big deal. Don’t mind it. From which department are you, though?”

“I am an accountant. This is my first time working in a big company like this.”

“Oh yeah? Then we will be on the same floor.”

“I see. Please take care of me. Then do you mind if I ask what do you do?”

“ Yeah, sure.Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I am Shinji. I am CEO’s secretary. Nice to meet you.”

“I am Ryu. Nice to meet you too.
