The CEO's Contract (gojo x oc)

Chapter 12

There were a few things Kenjiro didn't understand in this world. The purposes of mosquitos, a healthy relationship, sweet coffee and the world's obsession with his Boss.

"Has Zenin cancelled their meeting?" Kenjiro asked, staring down at the tablet in hand as he set his briefcase onto his desk (The one stationed outside of the CEO's office). Satoru, instead of going into his own office stood behind his secretary's chair, pulling it out for the man to sit before leaning over to read what was on the screen.

Both of them were completely oblivious to Maki's stare of disbelief.

"Maki?" Rin asked once the answer never came, shaking the woman out of her thoughts. Maki cleared her throat, straightening her spine and blocking out all of her own thoughts as she returned to the professional employee she is known to be.

'Yes, sir. No signs of rescheduling either."

"Afraid of the gays, I bet." Satoru chimed in, the tips of his lips lifting in amusement.

"Call them after noon, give it a few hours and see if their answer changes."

"Yes, sir." Maki replied right away, already filing Rin's order into her mind to follow them later.

"Talking about Noon..." Satoru trailed off, leaning down even further to try and catch Kenjiro's attention (in which he failed). Again, unknowingly to the secretary the small action from his boss drew the attention from all of the employees nearby. "Would you like to grab a bite with me?"

It wasn't as if his Boss ever refrained from flirting with him. But now, his flirtations had a deeper meaning, a much more dramatic meaning to the world.

Satoru, of course was completely aware of the effects he had though he didn't care in the slightest.

The usual rejection was on the tip of Rin's tongue before he stopped himself, eyes flicking up towards the office room and sure enough, the heads that had been turned their way whipped back to their monitors with swiftness, afraid of Rin's wrath if he were to catch them staring.

Now that the world believed they were dating, rejecting him in public would surely bring unwanted drama.

Rin looked up, blue eyes already sparkling with expectation down at him and Kenjiro's gaze narrowed in annoyance when he noticed the ever so cocky grin on his boss's face.

Satoru had trapped him.

"It would depend on my work load." Kenjiro said, deciding on a safe answer that would allow him to reject the man later.

Satoru's grin never faded, blazing blue eyes glancing towards the documents on his desk and with a swoop of his arm, he had half of Rin's workload cradled against his chest.

"Sir!" Rin halted, spinning back to face his boss in disbelief though before he could finish his string of very professional curses, Satoru was already walking away, throwing a wink back over his shoulders.

"I'll see you at lunch!"

He could already see it in the headlines. 'Office Romance Blooms between the Notorious CEO and his secretary-'

With a sigh, Rin scrunched his face, shoving those thoughts out of his mind before turning back and spotting Maki still standing in front of his desk, wearing an expression of pity.

"Not a word."

"I just never thought you would accept his confession, seriously, you lost me a lot of money there."

Kenjiro couldn't believe his ears, staring at Maki who he had believed he knew to be professional. "Were you making bets on me?"

Maki had the nerve to raise her brow accusingly, as if her losing her money was somehow his fault. "Yes, and I betted that you would never accept his confession. With all due respect sir you could do much better than him."
