"Come in," Hiromi said, raising his head from the file as his assistant entered. The assistant spoke, his face slightly flustered, "Uh, sir, it's..." But before he could finish, you walked into the room.
Hiromi's eyes widened momentarily, surprised by your unexpected visit to his office. This was likely the first time you'd visited him at work.
Hiromi and you married two years ago in an arranged union—your family’s power move to link their daughter with one of Japan’s top lawyers. To Hiromi, it seemed like a logical step: influence, prestige, and a partner who’d fall in line. But you were anything but obedient. Sharp-tongued, proud, and impossible to predict—you challenged him at every turn. At first, he resented it. Now? He’s helplessly in love with the very chaos he didn’t see coming.
As you entered his office, Hiromi dismissed his assistant and gave you his full attention. He could feel his colleagues' curious gazes on you through the large glass wall of his office, as this was the first time they'd seen his wife in person.
He looked at you intently, sensing that you wanted something from him that couldn't be discussed over a simple phone call. That's why you'd made the effort to visit his office — or had you simply come to see him? He couldn't quite tell, afterall, you were quite unpredictable. He spoke calmly, his eyes scanning you from head to toe, lingering on your outfit. "I'm a bit surprised to see you here, to be honest." He said as he noticed you looking around his office with curiousity.
