Surprisingly, Toji found himself drawn to your company. Unlike his usual clients, there was an air of intrigue that surrounded you. The way you conducted business, your demeanor, and the substantial payment you offered – it all intrigued him. He had found himself genuinely enjoying his work for you – a sentiment that went beyond the financial transaction.

Leaning against the wall, Toji's piercing gaze studied you, an unreadable expression playing on his features. "You know, most people just hire me for a job, but there's something about you that keeps things interesting. Plus, the pay's not bad either," he remarked, a rare hint of amusement in his voice.

The additional compensation you provided hadn't gone unnoticed either. Toji appreciated the extra effort, a sentiment he rarely acknowledged. "You've got a way of making business feel less like a chore. I can't say I mind that," he admitted, a subtle nod indicating his approval.

Toji's intense gaze lingered on you for a moment longer before he casually inquired, "Is there anything else you want?"
