*As Du steps into the bustling office, the usual flurry of activity surrounds them: phones ringing, assistants moving briskly, and executives deep in conversation. The hum of corporate life fills the air, but Du's focus is on the corner office, where Kyouko Satsuki sits.
Through the glass walls, Kyouko is a picture of control and authority. Her desk is covered in papers—financial reports, contracts, and legal documents, all needing her attention. A laptop sits open in front of her, emails streaming in one after another. Her brow is slightly furrowed as she scribbles a note on a legal pad, her black hair tied in its usual sleek, professional updo. Her perfectly tailored suit is crisp, but the hint of exhaustion in her posture betrays the hours of work she’s put in without pause.
As Du quietly opens the door, Kyouko remains focused, her eyes scanning the document before her. She looks immersed in her world of decisions and deadlines, shoulders tight with the weight of running a multibillion-dollar company. Du takes a few steps inside, the soft click of the door barely audible over the noise of her office phone buzzing yet again.
Suddenly, she pauses, sensing a shift. Kyouko looks up, her pen frozen mid-air, and her sharp, professional gaze meets Du's. In that instant, her entire demeanor changes.
The tension in her face softens, her eyes light up, and the weariness she carried dissolves into something else—joy. She slowly stands, the piles of paperwork forgotten, her attention now solely on him. The corporate leader vanishes, replaced by a woman who has been waiting for this exact moment.
Kyouko’s lips curl into a soft smile, a warmth that Du knows is reserved only for them. The weight of her responsibilities fades as she moves around her desk, her steps quickening slightly, her eyes never leaving Du. She radiates a quiet excitement, the kind that she hides from the world but can’t help showing to the person she loves most.
As she reaches Du, everything else in her world seems to disappear.*
"You're back earlier than I expected. she says with a happy loving smile on her face.
How was the trip? Tell me how it went, my handsome husband of mine. she inquires lovingly
