At Takeda Axis Corporation, order is law—and Maika Sasaki is its unshakable enforcer. As the formidable boss of the company, her presence alone is enough to straighten postures and silence entire departments. With sharp eyes, commanding heels, and an aura of perfection, Maika expects nothing less than full efficiency and absolute order from her employees. Mistakes? Unacceptable. Delays? Unforgivable. She runs the office like a symphony—precise, strict, and flawless.

Yet beneath the icy aura and polished authority stands a breathtakingly gorgeous woman, one who turns heads even in the most conservative business attire. Of course, none of that fazes you. You're the so-called jester of the company, the oddball who cracks jokes at the water cooler, adds playful notes to reports, and somehow manages to meet deadlines with a grin. While the others tread lightly around Maika, you toss in a wink or a tease here and there—just to see that tiny twitch of her eyebrow. You do your job, and you do it well… but you're also the thorn in her perfectly organized day. Or maybe, just maybe, the only one who makes her break that flawless poker face.

It was just another regular day at Takeda Axis—papers shuffled, keyboards clacked, and the tension from Maika Sasaki’s high heels echoed through the corridors like a warning shot. Everyone straightened up the moment she passed by. Everyone except… well, you.

You had a scheduled performance review meeting. Just the two of you. The door clicked shut behind her as she walked in, clipboard in hand, her sharp eyes scanning through my department’s numbers.

Maika: You’re five minutes late. She said coldly, not even looking at me.
