It's been a week since Tegemi pass the responsibilities of managing the Famillie to she's really been pushing herself lately being volunteering at the universities physician when she can squeeze the time and being the lead physician at White Dove General hospital but she's more focus on the Company that her dads owned.

Raika is helping me with the calculations and Rei is helping to budgeting the financial affairs I can practically do all the manual labor Kasumi, Miyoko and Yomiko are doing their part as well. Everything is cover up and it's smooth sailing at this point

I was reviewing paper works and doing a bit of calculations when I was startled by my alarm clock ringing.

I was immerse in my work I didn't noticed the time.

Just then...

(Hmn? That's footsteps who could be awake at this early?)

Wondering what's going on, I peer out into the hallway.

"Ah, Mina?"

"Tegemi?"

She's just locking her room door leaving for work.

"Isn't it a bit early?"

"Yes, I had a late start yesterday so I have to make up for it today."

She smiled a worried smile.

"Mina? You have rings in under your eye, you've been up all night?!

(Surprised she can tell, I lied for her not to feel guilty)

"No, I decided to wake up early to prepare breakfast for everyone."

She narrowed her eye and approached.

"Don't lie to me, I did pass the mantle to you but I didn't tell you to push yourself, sleep is important you know." She said while squeezing me in the left cheek.

"I scold you more when I got home, you're lucky I'm in a hurry." She said as she descends the stairs and wave goodbye at me,

"Yes, see you later." I smiled awkwardly

(Well, time to cook some breakfast...)

Then, at around 7am.

When I've finished breakfast and I'm taking it easy in the living room.

"Ah, umm, Mina."

"Yeah?"

Rei approaches me, her eyes darting around restlessly.

"Has Tegemi already left for work?"

"Ah, yes, she left early this morning."

"Ah, really..."

She looks a bit trouble and sighed as she lets out a little sigh.

"What is it, Rei?"

"I made lunch for her."

"She's been really busy with work lately..."

Rei clutches a cute hand –made lunch in her hands.

(That's a shame, after she went to all that trouble to make it.)

"It's alright; I'll make her another one later."

"I could deliver it to her, if you want?"

"Huh? Really?!"

"Yes, I don't have any classes this morning and my and I'm at night shift at work today."

When I suggested it Rei's face glows?

"Thank you so much! Here you go!"

"Ok, I'll tell you where Tegemi works,"

And so...

Still lack sleep I arrive at Tegemi's office building carrying her lunch.

"Whoa! I never have been to this of the city before." As I awed in wonder from all the huge and tall buildings.

An extremely tall building stands in front of me.

And all around are lots of high-class offices.

(I should go and find her...)

While I am standing in front of Tegemi's office building. I entered the main hall a man wearing a black suit stop me.

"Sir, can I help you?" He asked sternly as he looks at me suspiciously.

(He looks kinda scary, do I really look that suspicious?!)

"I'm here to see Te-Ms. Mikahara." I replied.

He looked at me from head to toe raising one of his brows he asked.

"What's in the paper bag sir."

"Just her launch." I said as I open the paper in-front of him as he gives it a small peek.

"Go ahead and register to the receptionist up ahead sir."

I approach the young receptionist busy typing at her computer. I was about to speak when she abruptly interrupted me.

"Just a moment sir." She said finishing her work look up to me and smiled.

"Can I help you sir?"

"Yeah, I'm here to see Ms. Mikahara, I'm just here to give her lunch."

When she hears that, the other receptionist besides her look at me they both give each other a wondering gaze and.

"Can, you wait for a moment sir, I been told the Ms. Mikahara is on her way down. Please have a sit as you wait for her," she said points me at the receiving area with a set of sofas. A bit confuse why they are giving me that look, I just sat there in silence as I wait for her.

A few minutes later an elevator opened and walking with a bunch h of people surrounding her.

She's talking with someone who looks like her staff.

I can only read up their conversation from this far.

"The division chief was late for the meeting?"

Her staff:

"I'm sorry! I told you the wrong time!"

"But the client was left waiting!"

(It looks like something big happen...)

It looks like her staff made a pretty big mistake.

"I'm so sorry! Ms.Mikahara!!"

She listens to her staff quietly.

Finally, ...

"I understand, I'll do the presentation in place of the division chief."

"But ma'am."

"Can you prepare the materials for me; you can do that right?"

"R-right ma'am, I'm on it!"

"Don't worry about it, I already memorize all the details I got it all covered."

Just then a soft, bitter smile rises up on her lips.

"You don't have to worry about a thing."

"It's alright, everyone makes mistakes."

"Everyone's following us, so don't worry about it,"

"So could you get everything ready?"

"And make sure you tell the division chief."

"Yes! Thank you so much!"

After that the staff looks down and hurries off.

I watch their whole interaction from a distant.

(She's so cool.)

(Is this what you're like in the office?)

As I'm watching her...

"Mina?"

Before I know it, she is standing in front of me.

"Why so sudden? Why did you come all the way here? Did something happen?"

"Ah, no...I mean..."

"I'm just here to deliver this, Rei made it for you."

I hurriedly hand over Rei's lunch box while receiving, She looks at her crew and ordered them to hold all her appointment for she's going for launch she holds my hand and guide me towards a private elevator we entered it and.Her eyes widen, and she smiles gleefully.

"That's not your usual get up?"

"Huh? O-oh!"

"Normally you just wear black V-neck shirt black pants and black sneakers I always wondered if you're in a band or something but now you're wearing a light-colored polo shirt, tucked in even with matching black belt kacky pants and leather shoes."

"D-do I look weird?"

"Oh, no! on the contrary you looked human, ehehehe." She giggled.

"Ahahahaha."

"So, you came all the way here dressed up to deliver this to me?"

"Well, yeah I need to dress up since I'm coming to see you in your workplace, I don't want to embarrassed you or something."

"Awe, thank you! That's so sweet of you."

"I'll have to do something for you in return."

"I'm glad, you don't need to do something for me, and you being happy are enough for me."

She looks at me surprised he cheeks a bit flushed.

"You can sometimes say, sweet things you know that."

"Eh?" (What does she mean by that?)

When I see her smile like that, I can't help but feel happy too.

"But really, thank you for coming all this way to bring this, Mina."

"Don't mention it."

"Make sure you thank Reimako for me."

"Of course."

Tegemi clutches her lunch tight. As we exist the elevator it opened to a huge office with a modern designed interior, and an amazing birds eye view of the city outside the glass window.

"Welcome to my office." She said proudly smiling.

"Your office looks awesome but you don't really need to hold your appointment for me." I said embarrassingly.

"I told them I'm having my launch and besides I have a special guest with me." She said while sitting in one of the modern set of chairs she puts and take off the boxes of bento's Rei made in the glass round table.

"You have a guest?!, I'd better leave enjoy your launch Tegemi." As I was about to leave, I felt a crumbled paper hit my head."

"You're my guess you silly, and do you expect me to finish all the large box of bento's that Rei made for the both of us."

I turn back and surprised by the double decked bento box on top of the glass table, I'm sure it's just a single small bento box that's what Rei showed me. Come to think of it I haven't checked I just received that large paper box, she must have switch it

I was about to sit crossed to her when I just noticed how different and refined she looks she have her hair in a tight bun revealing her nape her oval glasses fits perfectly that enhances her lavender colored eyes her flushed cheeks due to the steam of the hot rice as she opened the lunch box, she's wearing a black blazer suit with a vertical gray lines that highlighted the curbs of her chest wearing a white round neck undershirt that reveals a bit of her collarbone. Even the way she sits are refined she's sitting like how Ms. Universe candidates sat with firm and elegance and wearing a tight skirt that reveals a bit of her black laced stockings and a peek of the clip of her garter belt. I was enthralled by the beauty in-front of me.

"Mina, don't just stand there come on sit next to me and join me." She said while patting the sofa signaling me to sit next to her.

"Err, next to you?"

"Hmn? Why not, come just sit down, I'm getting hungry."

"Right..." I replied reluctantly.

We bump elbows when I stretch out my hand to grab a spoon kinda forgot I'm right-handed and she's left-handed.

We exchanged looks and both giggled.

"Right, we can solve that." She grabs the spoon out from my hand.

"But..." (how am I supposed to eat now, is she telling me to use my bare hand, but that rice is a bit hot for me.

She scoops a spoon full of rice and a bit of beef stew raising her hand she faced me and.

"Say Ah..."

"Huh~?" (she's feeding me?!)

"What? Oh right, it's a bit too hot for you." She gently blew in it and offered me again.

"B-but..."

"Open your mouth here comes the train choo-choo." She teased while she moved the spoon toward s Mina's mouth.

Reluctant and embarrassed Mina opened his mouth and get fed by Tegemi, a bit awe struck he swallowed instantly and almost choked in it.

"What are you doing big you dum-dum you should chew your food first before you swallow it, everyone knows that." She scolded while patting his back.

"S-sorry I was just, surprised that's all." He answered while coughing for a bit.

"Consider this as your reward for helping me out." She smiled.

We continued until we finished the whole 2 decks launch box, we lazily slumped rubbing our stomach.

"Whew...I can't eat another bite, I'm so full, Rei outdid herself that lunch is delicious as always." She said while rubbing her tummy.

"I can't believe we finished that." I said while reaching out for the tea cup and having a sip.

She looked at me smirked and said.

"Hey, I can feel the baby is moving." She jokes as she grabs my hand and put it In her belly.

"Pfff~! B-Baby!?" I spat out my tea as I look at her she's just smiling at her with a agreeing glee.

"B-Babay?! She said under her breath she cleared her throat and continued " S-sorry to disturb you Ms. Mikahara should we cancel you one o'clock appointment?!" ask her secretary as she awkwardly avoiding looking at them.

Tegemi prepped herself and she stood up.

"No, that's okay continue it as usual." As she works toward her secretary and receives the paper that she's holding.

"Mina, thanks for bringing me my launch, I'll see you later okay, I might be late so don't wait up." She said as she looked at me and smiled and walk towards her table.

"R-right, I'll be heading out, thanks for having me." I said as I wraps the lunch box and proceeds to head back to the main door.

"Mina, just use my private elevator it's faster that way." She said as her eyes guide me at the elevator we used earlier.

"Right, I'll see you later."

When I reach the lower floor back to the receptionist area I feel a change of atmosphere, everyone seems to be in there best smiles, and I was a bit shocked by the sudden burst of goodbyes by the ladies at the receptionist area and even the burly guard who's been suspicious at me have this awkward wide smile. Weird.

That night...

Everyone at the Famille' is eating dinner together.

"Thank you for today, Mina."

"Ah, don't mention it Rei."

"Ohoh, is this has something to do with Mina, dressing up before he goes somewhere?" peeped Miyoko.

(Shit? She saw me?!)

"Oh, she just went to Tegemi's office to the deliver the lunched I prepared for her." Explained Reimako.

"They didn't report a perverted weirdo like him hanging around?" said Yomiko.

"Oi!" ( they didn't do such a thing.)

Rei smiles nervously at Yomiko's joke.

"Isn't Tegemi so cool when she's at work?"

"Huh? Rei have you been to Tegemi's office?" asked Yomiko.

"Mmm, Just once." She replied

"Hm, I'd love to see her too." Said Yomiko wondering.

"She's one of the CEO of the company, isn't she?"

"She's a CEO?!"

When is say that Kasumi looks at me in shock.

"Didn't you know?"

"No."

"I hear she's pretty popular within the company she's even our school physician and a doctor a real career woman." Kasumi continued.

(N-no wonder she's been really busy.)

I never knew Tegemi was such an amazing person.

Just then...

"I'm back."

"W-welcome back."

Just that moment Tegemi returns home from work.

"Oh! Mina, you're still here that's good."

Raika beckons to Tegemi happily.

"Hey Tegemi we were just talking about you."

"Huh? Me?"

"Yeah! We were talking about how cool you look at work!" said Miyoko.

"Hahaha, I'm not cool at all, what are you talking about?"

"That's not true you are, isn't that right, Mina!" said Rei begging the question at me.

"Yeah!"

I remember her at her office.

(She really was cool.)

As I say that, Raika and Yomiko look up at Tegemi with respect.

"I'd love to work with you Tegemi!"

"Me too! If I was working with you, I wouldn't mind how low I was."

"Ehehehehe, Come on you guys."

"Yuu's record company is part of ours and our building is owned by Raika's boss so technically I work for you guys,"

(Yuu's record company? Raika's boss owned that building? There's a lot of things I don't know about my housemates...) I wondered.

(But as her staff, eh.)

"Me too! With Tegemi as my boss, I'd work really hard."

"You too, Mina!" she said blushing lightly.

"Yeah, but Mina wouldn't be a staff." Interrupted Miyoko.

"He'd be in prison for sexually harassing his office mates." Fallowed by Yomiko.

"Pfff!" Puff Kasumi stopping herself from laughing.

"Now, I'm having second thoughts on hiring, Mina to work for me. "said Tegemi.

"Hey, come on now..."

"Ahahaha, I'm just joking."

"Speaking of work, don't you have work today, Mina?" reminded Tegemi.

"Oh right!"

After that, everyone at the Famille' enjoy their small conversations.

"Ah wait Mina." Said Tegemi while following me across the door.

"Come back for a second Mina."

"Okay..." I entered the living were everyone is resting.

"I've got something I've been meaning to ask all of you."

"Does anyone want to go shopping with me this weekend?"

"There's so much to buy, I can't carry it all myself."

"This Sunday?" wallowed Miyoko

"I have work..." said Yomiko

"Me too...Sorry Tegemi." Said Raika.

"You're all busy."

(Shopping...Now that she mentions it, I need a few things myself.)

"Tegemi, if it's alright, I can go with you."

"Thank you, Mina. Can I count on you?"

"Yes! Of course!"

(Wait now that I think about it, It's the first time I'd even been anywhere with Tegemi.)

"Ah, that's our new landlord for you." Said Miyoko.

"I been hearing about this landlord stuff, what's that all about?" wondered Yomiko.

"Didn't you know Mina, is our acting landlord since Tegemi is really busy with work." Explained Raika.

"First time I've heard of it!!" said Yomiko.

"Oh right, you we're at work when we discussed it." Remembered Raika.

"Miyoko you forgot to tell her about it don't you." Said Tegemi looking at her crossed browed.

"Ehehehe...." She nonchalantly giggled

"I'm okay with it, since he'd be helping Tegemi managing the dorm." Said Rei.

"As long as he doesn't abuse his landlord powers." Said Kasumi.

(landlord powers? I have those?!)
