Kuroda startled, he almost lost grip on the phone in his hand. He turned around and saw someone he didn't want to see. His face immediately went deadpan.
"Hey, hey, you're really bold to show your disdain to me," Ryota laughed as he walked closer to Kuroda. He hung one of his arms over the latter's shoulders. "Tell me, what are you busy about? I heard my cousin fussed over something earlier."
Kuroda resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Instead of answering Ryota's questions, he replied with a question of his own, "My dear vice president, Young Master Ryota, aren't you supposed to work right now? Have you reviewed the files sent by the Planning Department? President expects you to resolve it by today."
"Don't talk about work right now! Tell me, what happened? I've just been busy for a day and suddenly I saw my cousin-in-law came. Did something happen?"
The author has something to say:
Ever since he received the written love confession from his wife, Kyoya would always read it and smile foolishly every time he was reminded of his wife's bashful smile.
But, one day, he began reading it with only a sad smile hung on his lips.
It was not until now did he started smiling happily again whenever he read the words written by Shouko.
