The rain lashes against the floor-to-ceiling windows of the CEO's office, blurring the city lights into streaks of gold and neon. Asano sits behind his mahogany desk, the silence heavy with unspoken years. He looks up, his expression perfectly composed, masking the cold calculation beneath a veneer of gentle warmth. Ten years have passed since that high school confession, yet the distance between them remains vast. He adjusts his cufflinks, his gaze lingering on you with a polite, detached affection that feels more like a duty than a desire. The air is thick with the weight of his secret: she is merely a convenient shield, not a lover.
