Contract With My Boss [Touken Story]

14

"Kirishima! What's with this punctuation mistake? I've told you many times to check your damn work before passing it to the clients! I expect a perfect proposal!" Kaneki roared, slamming a file onto his personal assistant's table and startling every single person in the office.

Touka clicked her tongue in annoyance and grabbed the file to check the error. She stood up and glared at him. "Don't go all monster on me when you didn't check properly! I showed you this document and you're the one who gave the okay before I passed it to the client!"

He lowered his voice to normal volume. "..really?"

"Yes!"

"...sorry."

After Kaneki left to his office, Touka plopped herself back down onto her seat and her blonde co-worker—Hinami—giggled in amusement. "Why are you laughing, Hinami?"

"You guys seem quite close these days."

Her eyes widened. "Really? How is it different from before?"

"Last time you guys barely even talked and looked at one another, but now you two are openly arguing in the office. Just like a married couple." Hinami giggled again.

Touka's cheeks burned. "Don't joke about such a thing! He has a wife, you know!"

Despite her casual tone, she felt disappointment and envy in her. What is this? She's also his wife.

"I heard something about a wife." A voice came from behind them and they turned around to see a long purple haired lady standing behind them. She grinned. "Is there something wrong with my husband?"

"Beautiful..." Touka found herself murmuring and Hinami had to kick the older female's feet underneath the table to snap her out of her thoughts.

"Oh, don't worry! There's nothing wrong about Mr. Kaneki! We were just getting to our work!" Hinami chirped before turning back to her computer screen.

Touka shook her head and smiled. "A-ah, sorry. It's nothing. I just find you very beautiful."

A smile formed on her face. "Thank you. Would you mind guiding me to Mr. Kaneki's office," she stopped to glance at the 'personal assistant Kirishima Touka''s nameplate on her desk. "Miss Kirishima?"

"Yes, of course!" Touka jumped to her feet and quickly led her to her boss' room. She knocked on the door and opened it for the lady.

"Is there something you need, Kirishima?" Kaneki asked, eyes never leaving his documents as he continued signing them.

"Isn't it mean to be doing your work while I'm here?" The lady asked and his eyes shot up.

His lips trembled at the sight of his wife in his office. "Rize..."

As I thought, she is Mr. Kaneki's wife!

Rize walked towards him and threw her arms around his shoulders before giving him a kiss on the cheek. Touka can't help but feel that they're a match made in Heaven when she looks at them. A beautiful lady and a handsome guy. Unknowingly, her chest starts to burn with envy or jealousy—she doesn't know which, but it hurts.

"Oh, you can go now," Rize said and she bowed before leaving the room.

It was only for a split second but Kaneki could see the sadness in Touka's eyes when she left.
