Third Person POV


"Tell me... Mr. Kita, what really is your company's intention to mine?"

"Coming from you, you claimed that Inarizaki Corporation is the city's second-best corporation, just ahead of my firm. Maybe you have a motive for wanting to take my place and become the city's number one. You destroyed a company just near me, which means your next target is mine."

"Mr. Kozume, that's not—"

"And you even made a reason that the building went bankrupt, and you even invented a reason that you want to help me because there would be a lot of benefits, and you want to be partners with me, but you didn't mention that you, the Inarizaki Corporation, were the ones behind who declared them bankrupt."

The men raised their heads as Kita felt the impulse to fist the table, but he remembered that he needed to earn Kenma's trust and complete his task.

"Please Mr. Kozume, you misunderstood my words." Kita told.

Kenma looks at his wristwatch as raised his brows. "I'll give you another five minutes to summarize what are you talking about, make it have sense and more appealing that'll interest me."

Suna closed his eyes as he composed his self, taking a deep breath before continuing his words.

"Our company's intention is crystal clear, no poison and harm mixed."

"We waited months and months to finish and pay the certain percentage that we took; it would be a shame if the 10% went to waste; if it weren't for that bankrupted company, they would get more sales and publicity," Suna told in a strict tone.

"We'd want to be a part of your organization and form a partnership with you. We wanted to invest more in it since 10% is a substantial percentage, and it would benefit both of our companies."

"Times up, five minutes is finished. Did it satisfy me?"

Kenma inquired, raising his brow and staring at the men from Inarizaki, who had become unsettled and uncomfortable.

"That answer would be coming from you, Mr. Kozume."

"Then my answer is no."

Kenma rose to his feet as you did as well, gathering your belongings and quickly following Kenma. The double door was opened by bodyguards, and Kenma and his bodyguard left while you stood beside him. As you were leaving, you noticed someone staring at you from afar, but you ignored it and continued on your way.

Inside the room were still the men from Inarizaki, who looked enraged and irked. Kita was rubbing his temples, while Suna kept his face stoic.

"Atsumu, give me the briefcase and safety box."

Atsuma handed him the briefcase while Osamu was taking notes and observing every move from the previous intense meeting.

Opening the briefcase and placing it at the table, they were met with gold bars and tons of money.

"Oh Kozume, you got a lot of nerves, prideful as always." Atsumu chuckled as he picked up the gold bars.

"We'll fucking make sure your entire company is wrecked."

"Not only that, but Kozume's secretary piques my interest." One of the men mentioned.









Kenma was in the front seat, and you were in the backseat, with the driver behind the wheel. You and Kenma have left Inarizaki's place and are now on your way back to BBC; you can't deny that you are still nervous, especially after the meeting a while ago that nearly suffocated you.

I mean who wouldn't? It's your first day as his secretary, and you've already got two meetings and a heavy schedule, not to mention Kenma would be watching you.

But what you didn't know that Kenma was looking at the rearview mirror, he saw every move you make and how you felt so uncomfortable, he never failed to notice a single move from you.

"I understand if your nervous because it's your first day, but please don't practice that, or it'll become a force of habit," Kenma said as his gaze went on the road. "I expect on the future days you'll be more comfortable with me."

You only nodded and forced a smile as you straightened your posture.









"Y/n!"

A familiar voice called you as you turn your head back while still walking with Kenma, you were already back at the BBC after a long ride.

"Secretary Himari!" You excuse yourself from Kenma as he nodded.

"How was your first meeting with Mr. Kozume?" Himari asked you as you walked towards her.

"It was good! But I can't stop shaking." You thought as you shivered while Himari only giggled.

"I can't blame you, I heard the meeting is with Inarizaki Corporation, and I heard their president is really strict and intimidating." Himari whispered.

"Mr. Kita? Yeah, he is, but something kind of happened, Mr. Kozume refused the proposal which is the collaboration." You whispered back.

"As expected from him, but the offer is really big."

A cellphone ring was heard in the middle of your conversation with Himari, you checked and it was Kenma calling.

"Ms. Himari, I need to go now, the chairman is calling." You said as you rushed to fix your things.

"Of course! I'll be waiting for you!" She said, cupping her mouth as you smiled at her and did a thumbs up.








"Where were you?"

Kenma asked you as you entered the meeting room, you saw your co-workers in your department which are Yachi, and the others sitting in each chair, while Kenma is seated in the middle.

"Sorry for being late, Mr. Chairman." You bowed as you quickly sat in your chair, beside Tsukishima and Yamaguchi.

Kenma only sighed and went to the large projector screen, he opened the laptop and started showing graphs and statistics.

"I had a meeting with Inarizaki a while ago, they sent a proposal to me which caught my attention, surprisingly. And so, I agreed to the meeting and went to their place." Kenma spoke.

"Secretary L/n, please prepare and continue the presentation and discuss it here at the front." Kenma requested as he sat back on his chair.

You quickly stood up and went to the front beside the monitor as you went to plug your laptop into the screen, and started your presentation.

"Um, the meeting between Inarizaki a while ago was about the proposal they offered to Mr. Chairman." Your heart couldn't stop racing so fast, you noticed Yachi and Hinata gave you a thumbs up. "The t-topic—I mean the proposal was about the partnership that Inarizaki offered, we can see here on my presentation, the stats current stats—"

"Stop."

You froze as Kenma uttered a word, the looks from the other employees began to get nervous.

"What kind of presentation is that?"
