│ [Reason — Workplace Violence]

╰─

A large notice went up on the company bulletin board.

For a shitty little company, they could move fast when they wanted to. Probably because the CEO was involved.

Employees crowded around the moment it was posted.

"What is it? What happened?"

"Someone got fired?"

"Wow... This happened today and they’re already done?"

"He beat his fiáncée at the office."

"Is he insane?"

"Seriously? I never thought he was that kind of person."

"Served him right! I never liked his sleazy words."

The rumor had apparently spread far and wide already. It was all anyone could talk about.

And with the usual distortion added along the way, Barry had become the worst bastard alive.

It had started as him raising a hand at his fiancée. Somewhere along the line, the fiancée became his wife and the threat became an actual beating.

A few people knew what had really happened, but none of them saw any reason to correct the story. They watched the mood and kept their mouths shut.

They probably knew the CEO was involved.

As the rumor about Barry swept through the company, another name began spreading with it.

Ed Roth.

"...He’s that guy?"

"Yeah. Ah, am I even allowed to say this? You know what I mean, right?"

"They’re in a special relationship. A special relationship."

"Wow... Seriously? He hid it for two whole years?"

"Maybe it didn’t last two years. It could’ve started recently."

"Who knows? Maybe it’s been going on much longer."

Everyone loved gossip like this. Each time it passed from mouth to mouth, it grew another layer.

"Apparently they’ve had that kind of relationship for years."

"I heard they even had a kid in secret."

"The kid’s already in elementary school!"

...Okay, that was going too far.

"Ahem."

I cleared my throat as I walked past the whispering group. The employees nudged one another and immediately started watching my reaction.

A few even rushed to greet me.

"Ah... H-hello, Ed."

"H-haha... You remember me, right? I gave you a piece of nugget that one time."

Wasn’t that a year ago? Some people were digging up the most trivial connections imaginable just to flatter me.

It hadn’t even been a full day, and the way people treated me had changed this much.

You really did see everything if you stayed at a company long enough.

Of course, not everyone had changed.

I returned to Conference Room 3 with Manager Selena and finally caught my breath.

"...Good work."

"You too, Manager Selena."

"No... I didn’t do anything."

She muttered with a bitter look.

She had come all the way to the committee meeting to testify for me, but in the end she hadn’t had a chance to help.

"That’s not true. You did plenty."

"...I did?"

"Yes. You hugged me and it calm me."

"..."

She looked at me as though I were ridiculous.

But that was a big deal.

"If that was enough, I can do it as much as you like."

"You said you’d do it when everything was over. How about now?"

"...All right."

Seriously?

Before I could hesitate, Manager Selena pushed her chest forward.

I sank into her arms and breathed in the scent between her breasts. She smelled as good as ever.

"...I’m sorry. This is all I can do for you."

"What do you mean, all? Having you comfort me with that body feels incredible."

"I can’t tell whether you’re complimenting me or making fun of me."

"It’s a compliment."

"Then I’m glad."

She hugged me more tightly.

"You aren’t angry?"

"Angry? Me?"

"Yes. I grabbed another woman’s ass right in front of you."

I had openly groped Celeste, even with every director watching.

Their expressions had been priceless. Some had no idea where to look. One had stared openly, then lowered his head the instant our eyes met.

But what bothered me more was the complicated look Manager Selena had given me.

"...I can’t get angry over that."

"Really?"

"But it doesn’t feel good."

"Hm?"

"I wish I’d tried harder and helped you in there."

Her voice held self-reproach. She felt guilty for not doing more.

The thought alone was so sweet I wanted to put my dick in her.

"Um... excuse me."

"Hm?"

I lifted my face from Manager Selena’s chest and saw Hana standing beside us.

Right. She had been waiting until the disciplinary hearing ended.

"I heard everything, Master. About how it turned out."

"How do you feel?"

"I’m not sure... He was still my fiancé, so part of me feels sorry for him."

Hana was too kind for her own good.

"But now that I feel like I’ve finally broken free of him... I’m relieved too."

"Then that’s enough."

What would happen to her now? She would have to move out of that house first. She had no obligation to support her unemployed ex-fiancé.

I still had the money Celeste had given me recently, so I could easily cover Hana’s living expenses for a while. Maybe this was a good time to move somewhere bigger.

"It’s been a while, Hana. That was your name, wasn’t it?"

"Ah...! Yes. You were the manager I met that day, right?"

Manager Selena greeted first, and Hana hurried to return the greeting.

Come to think of it, they had met before. They had barely exchanged names, but apparently the encounter had left enough of an impression for them to remember each other’s faces.

"I’m sorry about your fiancé."

"It’s all right. He isn’t my fiancé anymore."

Hana deliberately showed her ringless hand.

"But Master... You two are..."

She looked back and forth between Manager Selena and me.

Right. I was still buried in Manager Selena’s breasts.

There was no point hiding it now. I explained while pressing my face in even deeper, almost showing off.

"What you see is what you get. We’re like this."

"Ah..."

"Ed... Is it all right to tell her that?"

"Sure. She’s one of my women too. You already heard the recording, didn’t you?"

"...I see."

The look Manager Selena gave Hana seemed to change slightly.

She examined her from head to toe, then approached and held out a hand.

"Let me introduce myself again. I’m Selena Croft. So you and Ed have that kind of relationship?"

"Yes. Yes, that’s right. Then you too, Manager Selena..."

"Yes. We’ve been like this for a long time."

"Ah..."

"We see each other every day at work. One thing led to another."

"..."

Hmm?

The atmosphere suddenly felt strange. Was I imagining it?

Hana watched her cautiously before asking another question.

"Then are you also involved with MonsterCam Guy, Manager Selena?"

"Yes. I know about that too."

"Ah... Haha. I-I see. Right. Ahem..."

"Let’s get along from now on. I suspect we’ll be seeing each other often."

"Yes, ma’am..."

"I’ll be seeing him every day, of course."

"..."

What was this? There was definitely something here.

Manager Selena’s voice sounded a little frightening—the same tone she used when reprimanding other employees.

It might be intimidating for someone as timid as Hana—

"Then, Manager Selena..."

"Yes?"

"Are you a slave too? A sex slave?"

Hana, what the hell are you doing?

"I serve Master Ed as my owner. I was wondering whether you did too. Hehe..."

"..."

"Or do you not? Do you only call him Ed?"

"...Sometimes I call him that."

No, you don’t, Selena.

"R-really? I greet Master properly every day..."

"...The underwear pictures you send every morning..."

"Yes, those are mine. Wow, you must have seen them somehow?"

"...By accident."

"Oh? Then don’t you take underwear pictures too, Manager Selena? You have to. If you’re a slave."

"...I did today."

"Hehe... You should do it every day. Master always looks forward to them. Right, Master?"

"...I’ll do it every day."

Hmmm...

Somehow, the balance of power seemed to be tilting toward Hana.

It felt awkward to interrupt, so I took a step back.

Animal instinct wrapped around me, warning me to keep quiet at times like this.

I was trying to slip away when Hana called out.

"Ah, Master!"

"Hm?"

"How was the lunch I made today? Did you enjoy it?"

Why was she asking that all of a sudden? Hadn’t she already asked earlier?

"It was delicious."

"Hehe... From now on, I’ll make one for you every single day. Should I bring it to the office like I did today?"

"..."

Manager Selena glanced at me. Her eyes said she had a great deal to say and was forcing herself not to say any of it.

After staring at me with that complicated look, she offered her own contribution.

"How was breakfast today, Ed?"

"...That was delicious too."

"You called it heavenly, so you must have liked it. Tell me whenever you want more. You can sleep at my place again, like you did last night."

"..."

I could have sworn a vein appeared on Hana’s forehead.

I had the strong feeling I should not remain here.

I quietly began backing away—

"So this is where you were, Ed."

"...CEO Celeste?"

With impeccable timing, the door opened.

Celeste entered the conference room.

The three females’ gazes moved from one another to me.
