The driver slowed to a stop in the underground parking lot for the condominium. Not wasting my time thanking him I wordlessly exited the vehicle, closing the door gently before walking through the double glass doors that slid apart upon my arrival.

'Good morning, Mr. Kenjiro.' The receptionist greeted me behind her shiny black counter in the middle of the lobby.

The lobby was ginormous, bigger than necessary with every nook and corner scrubbed down, rid of dust. There was a big chandelier hanging from the ceiling, most of the walls being made out of bulletproof glass with cream coloured couches stationed around multiple tea tables.

'Morning.' I replied curtly. 'Two coffees to go please, an expresso with double shots and a matcha latte with extra sugar.' I ordered as she nodded, picking up the phone to ring the kitchen.

Walking past her towards the elevators that lined up beside each other in a corner I pressed the button, not having to wait as they weren't many people around at six in the morning. I walked in, taking out the spare penthouse card from my pocket and lining it up against the scanner before the elevator began to move towards the top floor

I moved back, leaning against the wall and resting my sore back from the short walk. That stranger from last night, whoever he was, had drained me.

Though not that I was complaining. As rough as it was, I enjoyed every moment of it.

The elevator let out a ding, interrupting my thoughts as it opened its doors to my boss's penthouse. I was met by three huge dark grey couches places around a black table, all facing the TV screen that could be compared to a mini cinema screen. The wall behind it was also completely made out of glass, showcasing the views of the mountains behind.

I would never understand the rich's obsession with windows.

Gojo's penthouse wasn't as wide as it was tall. Being two floors with a private pool on the balcony it was the apartment many would die to visit. For various reasons.

Just as I had walked out of the elevator two women had rushed down the stairs, fixing their dresses and giggling along the way.

'Do visit us often, ladies.' A familiar voice that I hadn't heard in awhile called after them as the women rushed past me into the elevator.

I glanced down at an object that had dropped from one of their grasps, it was the sponge that belonged to the inside of a bra. Bending I picked up the soft material before turning and reaching it out to the duo.

'I believe this is yours, ma'am.'

To my surprise, the woman blushed dark red, reaching out and taking the sponge from my hands as she kept eye contact with me shyly.

'Thank you.' She mumbled, lingering in front of me as if she wanted to speak.

'Dammit, Suguru, are there gone?' Gojo fussed from the second floor as two sets of footsteps rushed towards the stairs.

That seemed to have snapped her out of her trance as she quickly pulled her hand away, going into the elevator and closing its doors just as Getou Suguru, the lead singer of a rising rock band, stepped down the stairs.

'Why are you being so fussy this morning?' He grumbled towards his friend, oblivious to my presence.

I had last seen him three months ago, before he went on a tour with his band though now that he was back, my workload would surely lessen.

His long black hair was untied, yawning as he scratched his chest under the grey long sleeve he wore. Getou blinked sleepily, his footsteps halted as his eyes found mine, eyes widening.
