I am in a relationship with my boss.

Sub consciously pulling my tie together I stared back at the dark circles that were forming under my eyes through the mirror. Last night, whenever I had closed my eyes to try and sleep the sound of my boss's cocky laugh and madam's constant nagging would jolt me awake like a constant nightmare.

It was enough that I was his secretary, constantly apologizing and mending the relationships between companies that he'd intentionally sabotage just by being himself in meetings. Though now, now I would have to be with him on a personal level.

At least, when there were eyes on us.

I turned from the mirror once the coffee machine stopped its whirring, picking up the cup and drowning the caffeine down in a few gulps to keep me awake and alerted.

It was odd, the way Satoru had hastily left the office yesterday after proposing such an outrages deal. He didn't even spare me a glance, though I could see why he might be embarrassed. If it were me, I'd vanish from the fact of the earth. No, I'd never propose such an idiotic idea in the first place.

Just as I set the now empty cup in the sink, the doorbell to my home rang throughout the living room.

I made sure to lessen the dead expression on my face to a more approachable one before making my way towards the door and twisting the knob, pulling it open.

My headache exploded tenfold at the sight of a white haired man standing in front of my door, a slightly apologetic expression on his face which to his credit-was quite a rare sight.

Bright blue eyes peeked at me from under his sunglasses, the sight of them enough to sour my mood as I opened my mouth to spew out a few inappropriate choices of words.

'You-'

A red shopping bag was thrusted in front of my face, the word Cartier can be seen written in cursive on it. I closed my mouth, ceasing my line of offensive words and narrowing my eyes as Satoru lowered the bag with a knowing grin on his face.

'Good morning to you too.' He greeted as he offered the bag to me. I took it from him without hesitation.

With the salary I get each month from him, I could easily buy one of these myself. Though who says I wouldn't accept the free luxurious gifts that could be sent my way.

Little by little, I was starting to see the benefits of this contract.

'Good morning, sir.' I replied, taking out the square box inside and hanging the shopping bag around my arm. Carefully pushing it opened my brows raised at the sight of a black, chic yet elegant watch that laid inside, the latest version of its kind.

I closed the box immediately, putting it back into the bag before stepping aside to let my boss through. His grin widened as he strolled into my apartment, dropping himself onto the couch with a small grunt, spreading his legs and taking up unnecessary space.

I placed the luxurious bag onto the coffee table, walking over to start making extra sweet coffee for my boss as he made himself at home.

'Is this what they call a gold digger?' Satoru commented, watching me move around the kitchen in amusement.

'I am simply doing what a good secretary should.'

He hummed at that, running his hands through his hair just as the coffee finished brewing. I added in the extra sugar and milk as I waited for him to speak.

'The old hag's gonna come over for lunch. Seems like she didn't buy into our little performance.'

'You mean your performance that I was not made aware of beforehand. Even a blind man could see that something was wrong.'
