Kujikawa Rise pushed open the door cheerfully, raising her hand in greeting, while Duanmu Ai and Lumiaire nodded to her.

“Back already? How was work today?”

“Very smooth!”

Kujikawa Rise, smiling happily, was thrilled. She had moved to the office about a week ago and for her, that week was blissfully idyllic—she felt so comfortable living there that she didn’t want to leave. Of course, in terms of luxury, Duanmu Ai’s office could not compare to a celebrity’s apartment, but for Kujikawa Rise, she cherished the lively and homely atmosphere, unlike before when, drained, she would return to an icy, empty room.

Of course, if all else failed, Duanmu Ai had one last strategy.
