When the person I used to admire, turned out to be a Yandere!

The tips and advice Emiko received from her assistant Naomi, were mostly concerning for Emiko to remain as less forceful as she could.

Emiko needs to forbid her inner self to surface or she would terrify Haruki with her behaviour. She needs to be as sweet and considerate as she could.

Then Emiko’s question was, whether she had to be lenient with Haruki and the people surrounding him. If so, then Emiko was better off not listening to her assistant anymore since allowing some cheap b****h to surround him was not something Emiko could ever tolerate.

At that, Naomi took her time, before she responded with the perfect solution.

Emiko needn’t hold back but using the brute method would leave a scar on their relationship so whatever Emiko wanted to happen, she needed to take things slowly and convince Haruki that whatever Emiko was suggesting to transpire in his life was for his own good.

Emiko has to be cautious with what she wishes or Haruki would never be able to trust Emiko or their relationship.

That was why, when the topic of Haruki’s part-time job arose, Emiko thought about it carefully before she chose to speak about it.

“We both can agree on the fact that Haru-kun’s studies are extremely important, right?” Hearing her words, Haruki—while still savoring the dessert—nodded in agreement.

More than to get himself a job after graduation, Haruki was pretty much intrigued with management courses which was why his priority remained in taking the course. There were better options for those who wanted to earn without gaining their master’s degree but Haruki chose to pursue his dream and luckily got a scholarship in a top management school as well.

So yeah, considering his goal and sheer interest in the subject of management, Haruki indeed deemed his studies an incredibly important aspect of his life.

“And since Haru-kun has to work four hours at the very least as a delivery partner after a seven-hour long college duration and adding up the eight hours of necessary sleep….”

“Umm…where are we heading to, Emiko-san?”

Haruki was baffled by the sudden calculations of his everyday life which he had been following for a long while now without much trouble.

He was a young man in his prime age of his youth so cutting some hours of sleep and adding them up in some extra work was not something he felt bothered about.

Emiko’s eyes flashed with a concerned look as she made her way around the table before halting just before Haruki and taking the chair adjacent to him.

Haruki was confused by her action but he turned to look at the beauty nevertheless. She looked gorgeous as always even though she had minimal makeup on.

Somehow refraining from falling into a daze by her otherworldly beauty, Haruki noticed how fluently Emiko took hold of his both hands and placed them over her thighs.

(He placed the empty dessert bowl just in time)

It was nothing sensual but a gesture to show how much she was anxious about something.

‘Yeah…no double meaning about it…. ‘

“I am talking about how Haru-kun would not be able to enjoy his life if his work, study, and sleep would take almost the whole day. I can’t ask you to slack at any other task since they are necessary requirements but your part-time job….please reconsider it Haru-kun. ”

In Haruki’s eyes, Emiko seemed like a female bro-con character he watched in an anime who gets concerned over her brother’s strenuous actions every now and then.

Her usual tone of teasing was nowhere to be seen and what remained was only a concerned and uneasy Emiko.

But soon Haruki calmed his racing heart and cleared his mind. He was just about to nod his head and resign from his job the very moment.

Thankfully he was able to rationalize his mind before he turned his hand and took hold of her hands gently.

“Emiko-san…more than my insecurity regarding this relationship, I kind of have become habitual of part-time work. I have been working for a long time so by now, I would feel useless if I remained at home and did nothing to earn some money. It’s not my ego but rather a part of me just would feel worthless if I don’t keep pushing myself.”

Haruki assumed that Emiko wouldn’t be able to understand what he was trying to say here since she didn’t know about his past much.

She may not leave him even in the future and Haruki may get to spend a long time with Emiko but despite that, he wants to keep working so in the future even if nothing remains by his side and he gets thrown back to zero, Haruki wouldn’t feel helpless.

“…. I understand….but can I ask you to work for me?” Haruki was pulled out of his daze when he heard the timid voice of the woman sitting just inches apart from him.

“Work for you?” Haruki asked in an uncertain tone since he didn’t know what he could do to help a star model like her.

However, instead of replying to him, Emiko delayed the discussion for later, “Not now…how about tomorrow after your college? You have a half day, right? ”

How do you know about it…was something Haruki held himself from asking.

But Haruki suddenly remembered something as he hurriedly shook his head, “I am sorry, Emiko-san but I won’t be able to meet you tomorrow. ”

Emiko’s smile faltered upon hearing the words of rejection but soon her eyes widened as she remembered the message she received in the afternoon. Since she was so occupied with Naomi’s suggestions and her turmoil she almost forgot about it.

Nevertheless, she once again took hold of Haruki’s hand and brought it in front of her chest before she pleaded, “Haruki-kun….would you allow me to accompany you tomorrow to the hospital? Please?”

Haruki’s eyes slightly widened before he replied in bafflement,” But Emiko-san, your work…”

Hearing his concern, Emiko smiled helplessly as with her gaze falling she replied in a soft tone, “I know you won’t believe me when I say it but Haru-kun… ” His breath subconsciously choked in his throat as her emerald eyes met his raven ones before Emiko finished speaking the truth she had come to realize a while ago,

“…in this world, there’s nothing important more than you. So please…let me be a part of your life…not as a guest but as a resident. ”

A/N: I felt kinda emotional for some reason.
