~(f/n)~

I woke up late again, but I wasn't that tired compared to what happened the day after our wedding. Hina and I went out to have a walk, and just stop by the grocery to buy some snacks we could eat.

We got too busy with our own, but Seijurou was busier, and seemed he was stressed to what was going on. That Saturday night, he got home late, and he didn't eat his dinner and just took a bath and went to his office again.

That night, I received a messaged from Miho asking me if I already watched the special interview of Seijurou, in which I said I hadn't. Well, he said we would be watching it together after all.

I searched the PV of that program and Seijurou really did talk about me. Though, as I was watching it, I was horrified realizing something.

I hurriedly ran to his office and "SEIJUROU!!" I shouted as I opened the door, but gasped realizing that he was in the middle of a video meeting.

This is really the worst!

"Sorry..." I immediately apologized and was about to leave when he stopped me

"It's fine, is something wrong?"

"Not that important. I'll just tell you when you are done." I responded in low voice and again was about to leave

"Then stay here, we're done anyways." he gestured me to approach, but I shook my head and just stayed on the door. He then turned to his monitor and chuckled

"Is something wrong, president?" Ah, he is talking to his secretaries

My dear wife is here. But anyways, everything is settled, so I wanted everyone to be in Boardroom A tomorrow morning at 7. You know what you are going to do, so we just need to execute it" As he said that, I heard them answered then he ended the video call and closed his laptop.

"Sorry again." I told him in low voice

"It's totally fine. Come here"

I approached him with my head down, and I really felt horrified from what happened. I stood in front of him and he held both of my hands

"Sorry"

"What's wrong?"

"Uhm... I suddenly barged in..."

"That's totally fine, don't worry about it."

"Also... I watched the PV of your special interview"

"Oh yeah, that was today. The maids said they would record it. Is something wrong? Should we watch it now?"

"No, that wasn't it. You were wearing the necktie..."

He chuckled and nodded "yeah, that was the time you got mad at me after all. Everyone wanted me to change it, but I insisted to wear it."

"You should have changed it that day!" I complained but he laughed as he wrapped his arms around my waist then pulled me closer

"It's totally fine. It was fresh for them to interview me wearing that. I also explained why, and I love what happened. Let's go to the entertainment room and watch it together."

"It was hideous though! Wait... There's an entertainment room?!" 

"You didn't know? Well then, let's go" He stood up and stacked up the papers on his desk first, but

"Is it okay? I mean, you still have work, right?"

"It's done. What left is to purge- I mean, to execute- no, hmmm, well, to talk about the matter tomorrow" 

I looked at him in disbelief and sighed "I don't mind if you show your inner self."

He chuckled then held my hand once he was done cleaning up, and led me to the entertainment room. 

~

The entertainment room was in 3rd floor, at the very end of the hallway on the left. Furthermore, this house has 3rd floor?! 

We entered the room and it was like a private theater, good only for family. This is a good room to hang out with your family. 

"Your house is really big. Unnecessarily big..." I commented in low voice

"You can seat on that sofa. I'll set this up."

I did what he said and sat down at the sofa. Wow, it's really comfortable, also it's reclining sofa!

"Do you like it?" Seijurou asked as he sat down with two remote controls with him 

"Yeah, I like this kind of sofa. I can stretch my feet, and it's very comfortable." I responded as I leaned back and chuckled "This room is perfect for watching movies with your family. I don't know you have this room"

"We have, just we don't use it. Well, I use this room if I wanted to watch a movie, but the last time I used it was I think 5 years ago? I just told them to keep this place clean." He then pushed the remote and leaned his back as well "Now then, let's watch" as he said that, he wrapped his arm around my shoulder then pulled me closer to him "even I didn't know how they edited this"

I rested my head on his shoulder then we started watching his special interview. He talked about their business, about his achievements, and lastly, about the marriage. He even mentioned that I got mad that I made him wear that. 

~

I felt loved, but was so embarrassed watching the whole thing.

I covered my face with my two hands, still embarrassed seeing that necktie.

"You really should have changed. People would now think that I am a woman who gets mad over a pety thing."

"Well, it was very reasonable for you to act that way. It was my fault. Besides, let them think what they wanted to think. Let others know that there's someone above the emperor." He chuckled then tighten his embrace "Let's sleep here tonight"

"You need to wake up early tomorrow, right? You need to be comfortable sleeping"

"I am comfortable like this" he nuzzled closer to me then suddenly he sat down "Let's sleep here after all" he then reached something on the side, and it was then, the sofa, became a bed.

"It's sofa bed?!" I shouted in amazement

"Yeah, also" he stood up and, got something on one of the closet behind "I remembered that we have pillows and blankets here."

I chuckled and just complied to him that we would be sleeping here.

"Then, should we watch the cctv videos, especially during my birthday?"

"Let's just sleep!" I retorted then lie down as I get my phone "I'll turn on my alarm so we can wake up early. I'll prepare breakfast"

"Well, we can watch that next time." He chuckled then lied down next to me "I am excited for our trip"

He wrapped his arm around me, as I rested my head on his arm. I wrapped my arm around his waist, and I nodded

"Yeah, I am also excited. Our first family trip." I snuggled to him closer and I could feel him pulling me closer to him as well.

It's warm, and I feel at ease.

~

That next day, we woke up early, even before the maids and chefs left.

While preparing the breakfast, Seijurou was preparing for work. It was Sunday, and he needed to go to work early in the morning. But again, tomorrow we would be going to have our family vacation.

"(F/n), did you move my neckties to different place?" He asked as he entered the kitchen

"Ah, yeah. Sorry, I put them on the 3rd drawer on the left when I was folding the clothes. I forgot to put them back. I'll put them back later"

"It's totally fine. I was able to find them. Besides, it was better there than before" he approached me then handed his dark blue necktie "will you put them?"

"you don't need to ask. I'll put them for you." I chuckled then got the necktie from him "I went to check on Hina. But she is still sleeping. So have your breakfast first, so you won't be late."

Once done with the necktie, he sat down and ate the sandwich I made for him. I was about to prepare coffee but his driver already arrived to pick him up, so I put it on a tumbler. He was surprised, but willingly accepted it.

"Well then, I'll take my leave now. When I get home, I'll prepare my stuffs then we'll leave."

"Right away? I'll prepare your stuffs, let me know which ones you wanted to bring. My stuffs and Hina as well are already prepared, but I thought we'll leave tomorrow?"

"No, we'll leave tonight. You also don't need to prepare lots, we can buy stuffs there" he chuckled then give me a quick kiss on the lips "anyways, I'll take my leave now. See you later"

"Yeah.. Itterashai"

"Ittekimasu"

And as he left, I stood at the front door, curious from his words.

"He said his secretary booked the hotel in Disney tomorrow, but why do we need to leave today? And again, he wanted to waste money." I crossed my arm and tilted my head "but then, I wonder how's the problem on his work?"

~Akashi~

As expected, Akashi arrived first before the others. He entered the spacious meeting room, with documents on his one hand, and the tumbler on his other hand.

He divided the papers on the table in front of the room, and made sure that they were facing down. He sat down, crossed his legs sipping his coffee

"So warm and so delicious" he chuckled to himself then roamed his eyes around the empty room.

He was smiling, but his eyes weren't at all.

~

Before 7 in the morning, his secretaries arrived one by one and they were surprised that the man who supposed to enter last was already inside.

Akashi already told them what to do, and they hurriedly prepared the board room.

And before 7:30 in the morning, all staffs from the finance department arrived one by one. The directors, auditors, bookkeepers, team leaders, everyone from the department was called in. They felt nervous seeing Akashi already inside, but they did their best to greet him, and they immediately notice the sparkling wedding ring on his left hand, proving the news about him that he is already married. 

One thing they noticed that out of picture, Akashi Seijurou was drinking coffee using a tumbler, in which he never did. He was very particular in the coffee he would drink, and it was usually from the coffee shop inside the building. It was Sunday however, that the coffee shop was closed, and they still didn't know why they were called that day.

Once all employees from the finance department, Shinji stood on the podium, holding papers on his hands. However, to everyone's surprise once again, a familiar face entered the room. Akashi's friend from the police department, Aomine, entered the room, followed by couple of police officers, and they stood against the door.

At exactly 8 in the morning, the doors were closed, and Shinji started "Everyone, good morning and thank you for coming here despite of short notice. We'll start our meeting. Before we start, do you have any idea why the chairman called everyone here?" He asked but the employees shook their heads. "Well then, please look at this" he gestured everyone to look at the screen and it shows "187000000"

"What's with that number?" most of them curiously asked

"The money that is currently missing in our company" Akashi answered as he roamed his eyes around, "We will not make this meeting long if you answer me where did these money gone to."

Silence engulfed them, making Akashi smirked in amusement because the faces of the employees involved became pale, and they started to sweat. 

"If you don't want to answer, it will be a long day you know." Akashi teasingly told them as he stood up but still silence was their response. He sighed then crossed his arms, now emitting a dark ambiance "You really don't want to speak, huh?"

And at that time, Momoi and Nano handed papers, to each of them and told them "please check them one by one" 

Shinji who was standing on the podium smiled at them "Well then Hidaka-san, Terashima-san and I will do the report, let's check them one by one. Before we start, chairman, any words?"

"I'll say this at first, once this meeting ends, all employees in finance department will be suspended." They all gasped and started to retort, but they stopped as Akashi looked at them with serious eyes. "If you will retort, then don't do such insolent corruption within our company! I hope you thought of the consequences when you started it!"

"We'll start with the report" Kintarou broke the tension and smiled at them "Don't worry, we'll provide drinks and snacks while we are in it"

The meeting started with Shinji pointing out small mistakes, until the biggest problem. Followed by Yukari who showed the report they got from their partner companies. Lastly, Kintarou showed the investigation report where the money went to.

While they were reporting, Momoi and Nano were giving out the documents of the reports, and also the snacks.

Among the 32 employees from the finance department, one woman was looking at Akashi with admiration. She was the new employee that mentioned about the irregularities inside the department. She mentioned it just two days ago, but Akashi was able to investigate it in just short notice. She knew that if he left it for long, it would be a problem.

"And he was able to resolve it in such time." she smiled, getting excited to what was going on.

~

After 5 hours of torture inside the meeting room, Aomine's superior entered holding the warrant of arrest for all the employers who were involved.

And once the finance department director passed by in front of Akashi with his hands cuffed behind him,

"Why are you being witted this time?! We built your trust, and we were told that you wouldn't notice if we do it like that!"

Akashi chuckled then crossed his arms "Yeah, you perfectly deceived me, and I applause you for that. But, I am really thankful to my wife. I just asked her to stack the papers and if she noticed something just tell me. But she perfectly and noticed every single schemes you did. Isn't she wonderful?"

"That babysitter of yours?!" He hissed making Akashi smiled victoriously 

"Yeah, she was a babysitter before. But thank you, now it confirms that the one backing you up is within my family, and has a higher position." Akashi again chuckled as he shook his head "let me tell you one thing as well, that babysitter is my wife, and she is smarter than you"

"Bastard!" 

~

The employers that weren't involved were dumbfounded and were left speechless from what just happened.

"Now then to the people left here" Akashi started and looked around "Wow, less that 10 people" he shook his head and sighed "You aren't clear yet so you are all suspended. You'll know within two weeks if you are clear or not. If you are, I'll give you options. For now, you all have two weeks of unpaid vacation. Meeting adjourned" 

Akashi went to talk to Aomine, who was talking to his secretaries.

"Are you really sure that you'll go on vacation, leaving this problem?" Aomine curiously asked 

"Yeah, don't worry, someone will take over my position while I was away. He actually volunteered and told me to go" Akashi answered then turned to his secretaries "I also told them what to do."

"Uhm, but is it true that he is coming back?" Yukari worriedly questioned him and Akashi nodded

"Yeah, he is actually back already. Probably by now, he is in my office" He sighed and gazed away "I wanted to go home already, but I need to entertain that guy"

"Well, leave this to us and go talk to him" Momoi suggested but they all turned to the woman who shyly approached them "What's wrong Kiriyama-san?"

"Uhm, chairman..."

"Don't say anything. Kintarou, the one I told you"

"Ah! I understand. Kiriyama-san, I'll send that instead." Kintarou responded then handed a document to her "For the meantime, this first"

"Thank you very much" she bowed down then excused herself

"Who?" Aomine whispered as he yawned "Don't tell me mistress?"

"Aomine, I'll kill you"

"I'm only joking, sorry" Aomine immediately apologize since Akashi glared at him "then?"

"A new employee, who told me about this problem. She's okay, aside from the one who accepted her" Akashi sighed then checked his wristwatch "anyways, I'll go back to my office. That guy is already there"

~

Once Akashi arrived in his office, a tall man with slender stature, wearing a navy blue business suit, and had a slicked back hairstyle. He was standing beside the window, holding a glass of vodka

"I knew you'll be here, Makoto. Since when did you come back?"

"This morning, then I went straight here to find out that you are having an emergency meeting. Why didn't you call me? I'm the vice-president here, you know"

"A vice-president who doesn't return after two years. A vice-president who goes around, spend money all he wants and have sex with women who he had eyes to. A vice-president in just name. Do I need to call you?"

"I'm hurt you know. I am one of your trusted cousins and again the chosen vice-president"

Akashi sighed as he approached him and crossed his arms "trusted cousin.. huh"

"Huh? Did you become meaner now that you got married?!" He pointed at Akashi's wedding ring and chuckled "I heard that it was your babysitter. Will you be okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"The great Akashi Seijurou got married to a babysitter. Wherever you looked at it, she's after your money, and she'll be the reason of your downfall" the man named Makoto handed his glass of vodka to Akashi and smirked "so be careful"

Akashi ignored the glass and looked outside the window "you don't know anything about my wife. Yeah, she was a babysitter before, but she's the only woman that exceeded my expectation. She will never be the reason of my downfall."

"Was she the reason why you removed the finance department?" Makoto asked as he sipped his vodka "Seijurou, you removed them, and that will take effect with your business partners and it will affect your position."

Akashi chuckled and nodded "Yeah, it will surely"

"You shouldn't touch that department if you wanted to stay as chairman. Also, leave that woman and create connections through woman, you are handsome and have stamina, so it's easy for you."

Akashi turned to him and smiled "so in short, you wanted me to cheat on my wife to create connections and turn blind eyes with embezzling happening in my company?"

"You easily picked it up. As expected from Seijurou. That's how business companies work and survived"

Akashi approached his desk and he couldn't help but laughed hearing what Makoto said "are those your ways, Makoto?"

"I have money after all, and got connections. That's how you survived, Seijurou. You just got married, and that woman is surely after your money, so it's easy to throw her away, or give her money and so she will let you do whatever you wanted to do. Easy, right?"

"Yeah, easy" Akashi responded however, the glass on his hand slipped on his hand, as he was surprised to what Akashi did. Akashi grabbed a scissor from his desk and immediately pointed it on Makoto's eyes "thank you for your kindness, however if you think everyone thinks the same as yours, then you are wrong. I can keep quiet about your business mindset, but one thing I couldn't keep quiet about"

"H-huh...?"

Akashi moved the scissors closer to his eyes that if Makoto moved one inch, the blade from the scissors would pierce his eyes

"Not just once, twice, but you didn't shut your mouth and kept on badmouthing my wife. Don't put me to your level, especially my wife to the women you met. Let me warn you Makoto, you'll be next. I'll be away for two weeks, so make sure to clean your trace." Akashi pulled back and smile at him "well then, I'll be away for two weeks so have fun"

"So you are leaving everything to me for two weeks? You sure threaten your temporary chairman" Makoto chuckled dryly, but still sweating from what he experienced

"Huh? Leave everything to you? I am not crazy like you. Well then, I'll take my leave"

And as Akashi left his office, Makoto hissed and hastily got his phone to call someone

"This is Akashi Makoto! I want you to investigate Akashi Seijurou's wife. If we can't see anything from their taxes or bank accounts, we'll attack his wife. She's his weakness, I'm sure of it. So make sure to investigate everything about her!" He ended the call and hissed, glaring outside "I'll get this company! I will make sure of it!"

~

On the way home, Akashi received a messaged and he couldn't help but smirked

"Is something wrong?" Nikaido curiously asked 

"Makoto is starting to investigate my wife. He'll be surprised that my wife is such amazing woman" He chuckled then loosen his necktie "Anyways, let's go home. I need to enjoy my vacation, since it will be troublesome once we returned"

"Oh yeah, I'll send you off later. And when you returned, I'll pick you up and send you there, instead, right?" 

"Yeah, I already told the maids to move everything. I am sure, the two of them will be surprised that when we returned from our trip to America, we will be living in a new house."
