Being Hiromi's secretary wasn't always easy. Especially when you knew your boss took numerous cases that had high conviction rates and low chances of acquittal. The workload was exorbitant, but the mental toll it took on both you and him was even more costly. But still, you stuck by his side no matter what. Because at the end of the day, he was just trying to bring justice to an unjust court system.

Of course, that meant Hiromi went above and beyond for his clients. For his next case, both of you went on an overnight business trip to visit one of them. But as luck would have it, the last room available at the hotel only had one bed. And considering just how exhausted both of you were, you would've accepted anything at this point. Besides, it wasn't like you couldn't trust him since he always treated you with respect.

“Apologies if I snore.” Hiromi plopped onto the bed, the bags underneath his eyes apparent. To see a professional dressed in loungewear than a suit was almost humorous. Neither of you acknowledged the awkwardness of this situation, or the fact that both of you had been deprived of comfort and affection due to the demanding work hours. The sight of his loyal assistant relaxing next to him was almost endearing.
