Daily Life with My Busty And Cute Girlfriend

Chapter 15: The sudden realization hit him like a splash of cold water



Shit, I'm late for work," Leo muttered, scrambling out of bed...

The sudden realization hit him like a splash of cold water... He'd been so lost in the quiet aftermath of Sarah's departure, so caught up in missing her, that he'd completely forgotten about his responsibilities... He threw on the nearest clothes he could find...a slightly wrinkled t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans...then fumbled with his phone to check the time again... Yep, 10:05 AM. His boss was definitely going to have his head...

He rushed through his morning routine, skipping his breakfast entirely... The apartment felt even emptier in his haste, a stark contrast to the lively chaos of just two mornings ago with Sarah...

He grabbed his door's keys and wallet, making a point to check both pockets this time, then practically sprinted out his apartment door... The familiar Tokyo traffic, usually a source of irritation, now felt like a personal affront, conspiring to make him even more later...

He sat on the train, tapping his fingers impatiently on his knee, glancing at his phone every few seconds...

When he finally made it to the mall, the place was already buzzing. His colleagues were at their desks, a low hum of chatter and dispenser clicks filling the atmosphere...

He then went into the back and got changed into their uniforms, then slid back into his chair, trying to look as nonchalant as possible, but he knew his appearance, the nervousness in his eyes, would probably give him away... His hair was also a mess, and he was breathing a little too heavily...

Just as he settled in, a stern voice cut through the staff area... "Leo, my office, now."

It was Mr. Yokohama, his boss at the mall, a man known for his impeccable suits and even more impeccable punctuality. Leo winced. This was it for him...

He walked into the office, his shoulders slumped downwards. Mr. Yokohama was now seated at his large wooden desk, his fingers steepled, his gaze unblinking, giving Leo the chills down his spine... "Care to explain why you're over an hour late, Mr. Kuroko?" His voice was calm, almost too calm, and that was the problem. Leo knew it meant he was truly annoyed...

"I... I overslept, sir," Leo mumbled, looking at the floor. He couldn't exactly tell his boss that he was distracted by his girlfriend leaving for a movie shoot; it would make him sound stupid and insane...

Mr. Yokohama raised an eyebrow. "Overslept? On a Monday? This isn't like you, Leo. Is everything alright?" There was a hint of genuine concern in his voice, which actually made Leo feel worse...

"Yes, sir, everything's fine," Leo lied, forcing a smile. "Just a rough start to the week. It won't happen again, I promise."

Mr. Yokohama held his gaze for a moment longer, then sighed. "See that it doesn't happen again... We have a lot of work to catch up on, especially with the new arcade station we just opened, and you know, a lot of customers are going to be here for the brand opening. So get to it."

"Yes, sir. Thank you, sir." Leo practically ran out of the office, breathing a sigh of relief. He'd gotten off easy...

In front of him were a group of people all dressed in black suits. In the middle, three people were dressed in normal clothes, but they looked expensive...

Leo walked up to them with a fake smile on his face. "Good day, how may I help you?"

But Nothing...

Not a flinch. Not a glance. They ignored him completely...

Just whispers among themselves...private conversations spoken in front of him like he wasn't even there. Like he wasn't worthy of acknowledgment...

Something in his chest twisted...

This time, he took another step closer...

He raised his voice, not shouting, just sharper now, lined with his anger...

"I said… how can I help you?"

Slowly, one of them turned. A cute girl about Sarah's age finally glanced his way, barely sparing him a second of attention. "You can start by not standing in our way."

The words hung in the air like smoke.

A pause.

Then laughter, soft and scornful, from the others...

He stood still. No words, no movement. But a storm had already begun beneath his skin... His breath caught up in his throat, and for a second, the room seemed colder...

Was it anger? Was it rage? No. It was something deeper. Something else...

Emptiness. Disappointment.

His jaw tightened. That was intentional...

A minute later, the head staff pushed him out of the way and ran straight towards the people who had just insulted and bullshitted him...

He started greeting them with formality, then gestured them towards the "plane department" in the mall...

The girl who insulted Leo exclaimed to the head staff, "Mr., I need to drink coffee... without it, I can't do the shot... I won't be able to focus."

The head staff then turned to Leo. "Junior, go to the vending machine and get them a hot coffee."

"But..." Before Leo could utter another sentence, they had already left this zone and were already moving to the next one...

They didn't give him any money, so he sighed heavily, breathing in and out to ease his emotions, and then went ahead with the request they gave him...

He got to the vending machine and paid for the coffee, then went back...

His dead eyes were now visible... Then he arrived at the plane department zone. It was filled with all sorts of movie equipment...

He scanned the area, then he saw them sitting beside a massive table in the middle of the department...

Leo swallowed and then continued to walk over to their direction with the coffee in his right and left hands...

While getting closer to their table, "Here is your coffee," he called out to them. But in a matter of seconds, Leo's eyes widened... He saw himself tumbling in the air with the coffee in his hands towards the direction of the girl that insulted him earlier...

He had stepped on a cable wire, which was being used on set in the plane department zone...

"Doom."

"Oh my God!" Screams filled the atmosphere...
