“I told you, didn’t I? I hoped we’d have some kind of connection.”
Ayame is thriving as a highly capable career woman.
Though her job is demanding, her juniors rely on her, and each day brings a sense of fulfillment.
One day, she hears a rumor: the company president has fallen ill, and his son will be taking over as acting president.
Ayame, who believes all that matters is doing her job well, pays the news little mind.
That very night, at her usual bar, she meets Tsubaki —
a man strangely friendly, a bit frivolous at first glance, yet undeniably captivating.
Swept up by the drinks and the atmosphere, Ayame ends up spending the night with him—
She knows it was a mistake, knows she mustn’t fall for him,
and yet her heart can’t stop seeking him…!
