LOVE CATCH

Beautiful, talented, well known at school.Shibuya was persuaded to join the student council, but was dismissed because of family matters.

"I remember. It was kind of scary..."

It was only after I said it that I realized that I had slipped.Shibuya quickly covered his mouth.Osaki narrowed his eyes mischievously.

"It's okay. Even at home, it would be scary if my sister got angry."

The two looked at each other's faces and couldn't help laughing.After finding common ground, the two talked more.Chatting with Osaki was fun, as if it was past lunch break.

Osaki could distinguish between work and personal affairs, and stopped gossiping after starting work, but listened carefully to Shibuya's words.While looking at the manual left by Aoyama, she asked her to start processing invoices and answering calls from customers.Although Osaki was a little clumsy at the beginning, after two or three phone calls, she stopped stammering and became able to speak.Asked if she got used to it so quickly because of her experience, Osaki said that she worked part-time in a restaurant when she was a student.

After a short break at three o'clock in the afternoon, the two moved to the warehouse, and Shibuya began to teach Osaki spare parts management.It used to be Qingshan's job, but now I am responsible for purchasing every Monday.In order for Osaki to practice, Shibuya began to ask her to count spare parts, when the extension brought into the warehouse began to ring.

After letting Osaki continue, Shibuya answered the phone.It was the request for cremation, and he returned to the office while talking with the other party.After asking the other party's expectations, Shibuya began to check the time when Horiuchi was free and the time when the cremation furnace was free.Especially for entrustments with no time limit, the company has to decide the time to pick up the body according to the appointment.

While on the phone, Horiuchi came to the office, handed himself a note saying "Come to the president's office later" and left.

After making the phone call, he went to the president's office by himself.

"There's a new customer again?" Horiuchi raised his head from the computer.

"Yes. Go to collect the body today and send the ashes back tomorrow"

Horiuchi nodded and sat down.The chair creaked.

"What did Osaki do today?"

"I asked her to practice checking spare parts in the warehouse. Although she has only answered a few phone calls, she has had a part-time job receiving customers before, so she has experience and knows the essentials."

"Then you don't need to guide her for a week?"

To be honest, even if she can only guide Osaki for three days, she can handle affairs independently, but if I say so, I really only have three days to guide her.Although I know it is better to say this, but the time spent with Osaki is very happy, and I want to spend a week with her like this.But if you do this, Horiuchi's burden will become heavier, and as expected, he is still honest...

"Feel sorry"

Although he was the one who felt guilty, Horiuchi apologized to himself.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry to ask you to guide young rookies"

"This is also a work arrangement"

"It's fine even if you don't force yourself. You're not good at dealing with Osaki."

"Huh?" Shibuya looked puzzled.

"You have nothing to do with people like her, who are the complete opposite of me."

Osaki, who is completely different from Horiuchi, is a strike zone that hits no boundaries.

"You didn't meet Osaki's eyes at first. When I noticed it, I thought, that's terrible. You let her check spare parts in the warehouse alone because you don't want to see her."

"No. I'm back in the office because I have to answer the phone"

"You don't have to force yourself in front of me"

Horiuchi's "I can understand you" gesture made Shibuya slightly uncomfortable.

"If I knew that you were not good at dealing with young girls, I would have reconsidered adopting her. But Yingzi introduced her as a good girl, so I couldn't say that I would fire her under the circumstances. Please bear with me a little longer, sorry. But you only need to guide her for two more days."

Horiuchi stood up from the chair, walked towards Shibuya, and held Shibuya's right hand tightly.He had never had physical contact with himself in the company before, so he was taken aback.Kosugi sometimes enters the president's room without knocking.

"In the eyes of ordinary people, you will still think that you and Osaki are a good match."

How can I respond better.

"Why do you think people like me are nice?"

From Horiuchi's tone, one can subtly... get a glimpse of his calmness as a loved one.This kind of thinking is simply wrong, but now I am a door-to-door husband (Original text: 通い夫 means that the husband and wife live in two places for some reason, and the husband often goes to the place where his wife lives, which is the current situation in Shibuya and Horiuchi). say what.

It was the afternoon of Shibuya's last day in charge of guiding Osaki.Since there were no new commissions, the two of them finished sorting out the invoices, and Shibuya rarely had time to spare.

"Is there any work to do?"

"Usually, you won't be so free at this time. Now you can rest for a while."

Shibuya smiled wryly.Osaki seemed to be infected, and laughed too.Then she suddenly looked at Shibuya seriously.

"that"

"what happened?"

"Sure enough, forget it, sorry." Osaki who just spoke to him shook his head again.

"Don't think too much, do you have something to ask?"

Osaki's black eyes drooped down in embarrassment.

"Because it's irrelevant gossip..."

"Anything is fine"

Of course you are very welcome here.Osaki scanned the surroundings, as if checking if there was anyone, and then spoke softly.

"The president wears a wig on his head, right?"

Shibuya's body stiffened.Even if you have to fool yourself, it's too hard to make excuses for the wig like that.

"Actually, I noticed it on the first day, but no matter what I couldn't ask..."

Shibuya made up his mind.

"Osaki, can you promise me not to tell anyone?"

The other party nodded slightly.

"The president is very concerned about the fact that he is bald. No matter where you look at that hot fist, no matter how you look at it, it looks weird. You can tell it's a wig at a glance, but only the president thinks that no one will find out. But you can't talk to me. say it"

Osaki put his hand on his chest and sighed.

"I need to keep quiet about this matter, I understand. Yesterday the president's wig was tilted forward, and the front forehead became very short. I was still hesitating whether it would be better to remind him... But at that time, I felt that If it's a secret, I might hurt him."

This worry is correct.

"You must never mention a wig in front of the president. If he thinks he has been discovered, he may not come to work. Because the president has a history of being pointed out by children as a wig and then skipping work."

After hearing this, Osaki looked amazing, and then burst out laughing.So he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.Even so, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, he hugged his stomach and laughed out loud.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I imagined it... But, why is my fist so hot?"

Everyone is thinking about this question.Shibuya began to talk about why he knew about Horiuchi's baldness, and when he said that the president's wig was hung on the door of the car and was blown away by the wind, Osaki couldn't stop laughing at all.

"The president is a kind and gentle person, but he has a strange thing about it. It would be better to just shave off."

In their twenties, they agreed, but...

"That wig is the spiritual sustenance of the president. The president's wig is related to the fate of the company. This is not a joke. No matter how strange it is, I hope you can pretend to 'not notice' and keep silent."

"Yes, I see." Osaki nodded, making a victory gesture.It's so cute that my heartbeat almost jumped out.

On the tenth day Osaki came to the company, a welcome party was held on Saturday night.Because the venue was not told, Horiuchi took everyone to a long-established Japanese restaurant in a taxi when he was thinking about where to go.

The receptionist in kimono led me through a maze-like passage to a spacious Japanese room with six stacks.The inside is decorated with hanging paintings depicting sages and cherry blossoms.It seems that there are guests in the next room, but no sound can be heard here.Although it is a store with a nice atmosphere, it looks expensive.Today's welcome party is Horiuchi's treat, so my wallet won't suffer...

On the right side of the rectangular low table with a fixed foot furnace (that is, dig a hole in the ground to place the stove) are Horiuchi and Kosugi, and on the left are Osaki and Shibuya.The receptionist who handed everyone wet towels opened the front sliding door.It is a very large glass window. After opening, you can see that the room is facing the atrium.

"Wow, it's so beautiful"

Osaki cheered.There are several cherry trees planted in the courtyard, which are now fully bloomed.The light peach-colored petals are falling down under the light, which is like imagining a beautiful scene in fantasy.

The dishes presented were small but delicious.Although this kind of atmosphere is very good, the conversation is not lively.The two people in the middle-aged group didn't know what to talk about with Osaki who could almost be his own daughter.So they can only binge drinking.Osaki seems to be very good at drinking, and Horiuchi and Kosugi will not refuse to persuade him to drink, and his expression does not change no matter how much he drinks.

"Osaki, you are so beautiful, you must have a boyfriend"

Xiaoshan, who seemed to be stuck in a dead end of chatting, took out the old man's old talk mode.

"Not at all"

Although it looks like
