Kyoya quietly worked as Mei looked at him with worry. She if she had to choose between him of yesterday evening or now, she'd prefer the him of yesterday. Kyoya looked as if he'd snap at the slightest breath from someone.
"Mei." Kyoya called out without looking at her.
"Yes, Mr. Ootori?" she asked, being more formal than usual.
"See to it that a desk and chair are set up by that far wall over there. Don't buy anything exquisite. Just enough." said Kyoya as he got a feeling Senku would be a pain in the ass.
"Right... How tall are they? Male or female?" she asked as she started looking for desks online.
"Male. I don't know his height. It's the man you met before. The leek." said Kyoya.
"Ah, okay. Is he replacing me or...?" she asked worriedly.
"No. He's going to need a place to sit, that's all. Your job is fine, Mei." Kyoya said, trying to ease her worries.
Her phone started to ring and she quickly answered it. Kyoya looked up and saw her horrified expression.
"Sir, some of the staff on the second floor are complaining... something about a visitor being treated as staff..." she said, unsure of what was going on.
"That asshole..." Kyoya fumed as he quickly left his seat to deal with the problem.
Mei hurried after him then took the elevator downstairs. Did he know what the cause was? They exited the elevator and Kyoya had hurried on ahead.
"Ishigami!" Kyoya shouted, gaining everyone's attention.
Senku opened one eye as he sat comfortably on a bookshelf, holding a cup of water.
"Yo, Ootori. Might want to consider getting fresh water." responded Senku as he dumped the water onto the floor.
Kyoya's eye twitched. Senku watched in amusement as an angry Kyoya stomped over to him.
"I'm going to revoke your rights." Kyoya threatened.
"And I'll make sure the press gets every detail." said Senku with a smug look.
"My office. Now." said Kyoya as he seized Senku by the wrist.
Senku frowned as he couldn't pull away. Mei looked at the staff and gestured for them to keep working and for someone to clean up the water spill. Was this the same guy her boss happily talked to on that day? They were like water and water then, but now it was oil and water. She hurried after them as the elevator doors started to close.
"You got down pretty quick. Did you fly?" Senku joked.
Kyoya remained unresponsive. He was tired. It had only been a few days since their argument and exchange, but Senku was already causing trouble in his company. The doors opened and Kyoya harshly dragged him along.
"I get it, you're mad. You're cutting off my circulation." Senku complained as he could feel his hand going numb.
"Should've thought of that before you decided to wreck havoc in my company." Kyoya said as he tossed him into his office.
Mei closed the door behind them and wondered if she was allowed to stay and observe them. She sat at her desk as they bickered back and forth.
"Look, I won't tolerate you harassing my employees. If I catch wind of you harassing anyone, and I mean ANYONE, even Mei, you're as good as dead." Kyoya snapped as he sat in his seat.
"Then sign this agreement." Senku said as he held out a piece of paper.
Kyoya snatched it from him and read it over. He made a few marks then signed it.
