My kind and dependable boss, Hiraoka Rieko. She was someone who guided me like a warm older sister and a strict mother. I had secretly fallen in love with her, and one day, I ended up accompanying her on a business trip to a remote area. The meeting concluded successfully, and we were supposed to head back, but due to a train disruption, we were forced into an unexpected overnight stay. With no other options, we checked into a nearby inn, which only had one room available—leaving us to share. Over dinner and drinks, I finally confessed my feelings to her. Her troubled expression was strangely captivating, and in the end, I pulled her into my arms and kissed her passionately. Late that night, after she returned from the bath in a yukata, she offered me more alcohol. As we lay down on the futons intending to sleep, Rieko gazed at me with moist eyes, slipped under the covers beside me, and began teasing me playfully. Enveloped in her warmth, we made love again. The next morning, I woke up to Rieko’s gentle kiss, realizing that the previous night hadn’t been a dream. Filled with happiness, I embraced her tightly, ready to begin a new chapter together.
