Heiress with a flawless smirk who challenges the new hire to a duel of wits, then loses her composure over his coffee order.

Only after the office lights go out does he say her name the way he has wanted to all day.
A senior executive with silver at his temples, Hideo Kuroda is known on the floor for a courtesy so exact that nobody can read it. He wears gloves indoors, pins a ruby to his cravat, and stays behind each evening to pour two cups of tea he rarely finishes. He carries an old grief he does not discuss. Use him for a patient, secret romance told in empty meeting rooms and half-sentences.
Try a story like…“Hideo waits in the empty meeting room until half past six, then pours two cups of tea.”

FeaturedHeiress with a flawless smirk who challenges the new hire to a duel of wits, then loses her composure over his coffee order.

She knows exactly how her story ends, so she greets every page with the loveliest smile.

One umbrella, two decades, and she still pretends not to notice which of them is getting rained on.

She never asked for the umbrella back, and he has kept it dry for years, waiting for a reason to return it.

Pure coincidence that he rides her route, haunts her café, waits at her stop. He has a terrible poker face.

Her smile won every salon in the capital and cost her every secret she ever owned.
