MONEY DOESN'T BUY LOVE ❀ DAISUKE X READER

[ daisuke x female reader (fluff) ]

The detective with the slicked-back hair yawned while toying with a diamond encrusted pen in his office as a staff member presented himself alongside a jeweler as requested. Earlier in the day, he had asked one of his assistants to invite a few of the best artists, specializing in jewelry, in the nation to present themselves in front of him with their creations. Much to his dismay, most of the pieces did not appease to the wealthy man in what he had in mind for this special gift. A gift for y/n.

He had to ensure that this gift was customized to suit his longtime girlfriend and "expectations" that he would presume she would have after dating him for quite some time. Upon the sight of these specific jewelers' pieces, his eyes rested on the piece that sparkled against the red velvet case beautifully. Pearls aligned around the exterior, which made the diamond the starring piece in the pair of earrings being displayed.

"How much?" he inquired, crossing his arms

"A million, but I'm willing to bargain if you choose so."

"Who do you think I am?" Daisuke scoffed, pulling out a checkbook from one of his drawers beside his desk. Typically, he would send an electronic check out, but this time— he decided to rearrange things with a physical check just for the fun of things. The detective quickly filled it out in a matter of seconds and finished it off with a signature. "It was nice doing business with you."

The jeweler had his jaw dropped open as the physical check was handed to him through Daisuke's butler as a means to avoid contact. The man that was invited in the room stared at the sum of money written neatly against one of the lines and bowed before finally leaving the room. "T-Thank you."

"Of course," the detective replied in a monotone voice, examining the piece that he had purchased for his lover. The butler neared the detective and admired the lovey dovey look on his face as he toyed with the earrings. He had never seen this side of Daisuke since forever, and was glad to see that he had finally found someone worthy of his heart. "If you could prepare a meal for two in about a few hours from now, that would be greatly appreciated."

"I'll let the kitchen staff be aware of the situation right this second," his butler nodded, leaving the large, quiet room. As soon as his butler left, the detective sighed and collected his suit jacket from one of the couches in his personal office as well as the velvet box from his polished desk. Before leaving, he quickly looked at himself in the mirror and adjusted his tie while tucking in his dress shirt a teeny bit more into his slacks.

He had to look presentable enough for y/n, especially at her office. Recently, she was offered to be an executive chief at the company she worked at. He was happy for her. After all, this was her dream come true. Although, he would occasionally offer her other opportunities with the business affairs his family carried on. It wouldn't hurt to have her work under him and his father's watch, but unfortunately, she would deny it. Her excuse being that she wanted to work herself up to the top through dedication and confidence in her own abilities.

He admired that about y/n.

Growing up, Daisuke attained the opportunities, and or it was handed to him due to his immense family wealth that came with being a Kambe. He was fortunate to be a part of the Kambe family, but every once in a while— he wished he had grown up being successful in his own way.

Heels clicked against the hardwood floor. Everyone waved and smiled at y/n as she walked through the halls after coming back from a meeting and her lunch break. They all adored her as a coworker and friend. She was undeniably a force to be reckoned with. With a folder under one arm, she attempted to unlock the door to her office, but was taken aback at the surprise in front of her: a floral arrangement adorned with gold accents and ribbon.
