What? An acquisition?

The CEO is changing too.
3
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:10,536
Effective today, I have been appointed
CEO of Style Web.
4
00:00:10,536 --> 00:00:12,129
My name is Takahito Seko.
5
00:00:15,489 --> 00:00:18,629
I look forward to working with you.
6
00:00:20,830 --> 00:00:23,190
I look forward to working with you.
7
00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:24,629
Why is he here?
8
00:00:34,390 --> 00:00:35,546

9
00:00:36,686 --> 00:00:37,686

10
00:00:38,406 --> 00:00:39,406
Yes?
11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,728
Could you come to my office later?
12
00:00:45,030 --> 00:00:46,789
Yes, I'll be there!

Takahito Seko...
14
00:01:43,236 --> 00:01:49,620
That heir is known to be quite powerful
within the Seko Group.
15
00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:51,015
Yeah.
16
00:01:51,015 --> 00:01:53,360
If we play our cards right,
17
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,570
I have a good chance
of getting an important position.
18
00:02:00,890 --> 00:02:02,031
Hey, Shiori.
19
00:02:04,219 --> 00:02:05,957
Don't do anything stupid.

[New Project - In-house Brand
Manufacturing and Sales]
22

A new project?
23
00:02:19,272 --> 00:02:24,310
We are planning to launch
Style Web's own in-house brand.
24
00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:25,310
Huh?
25
00:02:26,485 --> 00:02:31,973
I want you two to think of people
who could contribute to this project.
26
00:02:34,250 --> 00:02:38,430
In that case, please let me join the project.
27
00:02:38,430 --> 00:02:41,875
I have the highest sales record
in the sales department.
28
00:02:41,875 --> 00:02:45,215
I'm sure I can be of use to you.
29
00:02:48,490 --> 00:02:50,600
What about you, Ms. Hanai?
30
00:02:51,820 --> 00:02:52,820
Huh?
31
00:02:54,496 --> 00:02:59,682
Sir, she's my assistant,
so isn't that a problem?
32
00:03:02,570 --> 00:03:07,020
I was hoping you would do it, Ms. Hanai.
33
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,056
Huh?
34
00:03:09,056 --> 00:03:12,217
Sorry, did you hear me?
35
00:03:12,217 --> 00:03:14,560
She's basically just my sidekick.
36
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,255
I use her because she's convenient.
37
00:03:21,568 --> 00:03:26,600
Someone who treats
their subordinates as "convenient" tools
38
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,740
has no right to be a leader.
39
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,250
What?
40
00:03:32,250 --> 00:03:33,600
Mr. Yoshino.
41
00:03:35,315 --> 00:03:39,593
I hear you're the new sales department leader
in the next rotation.
42
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:43,912
I think I'll withdraw that.
43

W-Wait a minute.
44
00:03:47,620 --> 00:03:49,476
But you just got here.
45
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,691
I can't accept this!
46
00:03:55,797 --> 00:03:57,560
No matter what you say,
47
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,097
this decision isn't going to change.
48
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,954
I'm sorry about the other day.
49
00:04:38,785 --> 00:04:41,640
I won't tell anyone about that night.
50
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,815
I won't cause you any trouble, sir.
51
00:04:43,815 --> 00:04:47,165
So I couldn't possibly
take such an important project...
52
00:04:49,146 --> 00:04:53,026
I'm not giving you special treatment.
53
00:04:54,246 --> 00:04:55,246
Huh?
54
00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:59,471
I looked at every employee.
55
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:07,270
You have the highest closing rate
in the sales department, Ms. Hanai.
56
00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:10,110
But that was Mr. Yoshino's...
57
00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:14,200
But it's all thanks to your support, right?
58
00:05:17,010 --> 00:05:21,350
He's not the one doing excellent work.
59

It's you.

What's wrong?
61
00:05:30,910 --> 00:05:35,110
No one's ever said that to me before.
62
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,600
Then...
63
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:41,668
let me say it again.

What do you mean we're breaking up?
67
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,315
What? Weren't you going
to be the sales department leader?
68
00:06:07,630 --> 00:06:11,630
Do you think I'd let trash like you
meet my parents?

Well...
83
00:07:17,945 --> 00:07:21,190
The pockets could be a little deeper.
84
00:07:21,190 --> 00:07:23,810
I've heard it would be convenient
85
00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:27,530
if women could fit wallets
into their pockets too.
86
00:07:27,530 --> 00:07:29,390
I see.
87
00:07:29,390 --> 00:07:30,867
I'll consider it.
88
00:07:31,851 --> 00:07:35,900

be asking me for opinions?

Even with all his work as CEO,
he came up with this project in a week.
96

And the concept's relatable.
97

I hope this project
makes a lot of people happy.

might cheer me up.

The CEO was just comforting me
when I was a mess.

So you're not going to tell him anything?
128

I can't...
129
00:10:24,996 --> 00:10:26,796
It would probably cause problems.

00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,788
I was saved by you.
186
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,710
Three years ago,
I was at my father's company.
187
00:15:55,710 --> 00:15:57,355
This is the worst.
188
00:15:57,355 --> 00:16:01,650
He gets to be my boss
just 'cause he's the chairman's son?
189
00:16:01,650 --> 00:16:03,291
Even our sales growth
190
00:16:03,291 --> 00:16:06,821
is 'cause the products
were branded as that heir's work.
191
00:16:09,290 --> 00:16:10,739
It was always like that.
192
00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:13,611
Ever since I was a child,
193
00:16:14,860 --> 00:16:16,357
even if I worked hard,
194
00:16:17,587 --> 00:16:20,587
people just assumed
it was because I was the Seko Group heir.
195
00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:29,254
I wanted someone
to see me for me, Takahito Seko,
196
00:16:31,540 --> 00:16:32,904
but no one would.
197
00:16:38,930 --> 00:16:42,100
- Oh! Sorry!
- Are you okay?
198
00:16:46,555 --> 00:16:48,280
A presentation?
199
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,185
Yes.
200
00:16:49,185 --> 00:16:52,735
This is my first time tagging along
on a sales meeting, so I'm nervous.
201
00:16:55,145 --> 00:16:56,790
It's pathetic, isn't it?
202
00:16:56,790 --> 00:16:59,290
I'm only two years younger
than your department head.
203
00:17:00,650 --> 00:17:01,650
Department head?
204
00:17:02,421 --> 00:17:06,027
It's Mr. Seko.
I've heard about the work he's done.
205
00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:13,320
I heard he got here through connections.
206
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,940
His own colleagues find him a nuisance,
207
00:17:16,940 --> 00:17:18,848
and his abilities are questionable.
208
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,600
Is that so?
209
00:17:23,490 --> 00:17:24,685
Huh?
210
00:17:24,685 --> 00:17:28,000
Well, if he'd only gotten in
through connections,
211
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,405
I don't think he could've built a brand
that people love so much.
212
00:17:31,405 --> 00:17:34,875
But that's only because
of his name as the heir.
213
00:17:35,660 --> 00:17:38,610
Then the brand
wouldn't last very long, right?
214
00:17:40,227 --> 00:17:44,440
The clothes made by his team
have cute designs,
215
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,983
and they're particular about their materials.
216
00:17:47,770 --> 00:17:53,105
I think that kind of success
requires true commitment to his work.
217
00:17:56,470 --> 00:17:57,739
It was a first.
218
00:17:59,850 --> 00:18:01,630
Someone actually saw me...
219
00:18:03,150 --> 00:18:04,690
as who I really am.
220
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,280
That's when I was...
221
00:18:10,430 --> 00:18:12,444
saved by your words.
222
00:18:15,460 --> 00:18:16,594
After that day...
223
00:18:19,230 --> 00:18:21,150
when you came for a presentation...
224
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,990
I wanted to talk to you again.
225
00:18:29,370 --> 00:18:30,370
But...
226
00:18:34,540 --> 00:18:36,370
you already had a boyfriend.
227
00:18:40,650 --> 00:18:41,710
I tried...
228
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,510
over and over, to give up on you.
229
00:18:49,090 --> 00:18:50,090
But...
230
00:18:54,010 --> 00:18:55,980
I just couldn't forget you.
231
00:19:21,246 --> 00:19:23,329
When I saw you crying,
232
00:19:28,703 --> 00:19:30,381
I wanted to help you.
233
00:19:34,490 --> 00:19:36,239
You might think...
234
00:19:37,630 --> 00:19:40,122
it's irresponsible of me to say this now.
235
00:19:43,660 --> 00:19:44,850
But I want you...
236
00:19:48,819 --> 00:19:49,819
No...
237
00:19:52,790 --> 00:19:54,580
The baby inside you too.
238
00:19:57,620 --> 00:19:59,288
I want to protect you two...
239
00:20:02,686 --> 00:20:04,022
for the rest of my life.
240
00:20:13,016 --> 00:20:14,205
Shiori Hanai.
241
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:18,760
Please...
242
00:20:23,936 --> 00:20:25,456
marry me.
243
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:41,240
That's more than I deserve.
244
00:20:44,376 --> 00:20:46,916
You have the wrong idea about me.
245
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:51,830
I'm not as great as you think I am.
246
00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:53,450
I'm not worth it.
247
00:20:58,150 --> 00:20:59,810
You have no worth?
248
00:21:03,540 --> 00:21:05,110
That can't be true.
249
00:21:08,230 --> 00:21:11,430
I've told you this.
250
00:21:18,390 --> 00:21:20,890
I understand
you can't accept this right away.
251
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,280
But...
252
00:21:28,310 --> 00:21:29,892
my feelings won't change.
253
00:21:34,940 --> 00:21:36,780
Over time...
254
00:21:40,590 --> 00:21:42,770
I'll prove that I'm a man worthy of you.
255
00:21:48,170 --> 00:21:49,671
Thank you.
256
00:21:53,690 --> 00:21:54,690
But...
257
00:21:56,470 --> 00:21:59,310
could I have a little time to think about it?
258
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:04,800
Of course.
259
00:22:07,346 --> 00:22:08,496
I'm in no rush.
260
00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:17,093
Mr. Yoshino, what's wrong?
261
00:22:18,475 --> 00:22:21,987
Oh, it's the updated data
for a client I'm handling
262
00:22:21,987 --> 00:22:24,457
that is on Ms. Hanai's computer.
263
00:22:25,245 --> 00:22:27,800
Oh, Ms. Hanai just left.
264
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,683
To the hospital.
265
00:22:29,683 --> 00:22:31,753
- Hospital?
- Yes.
266
00:22:40,737 --> 00:22:43,057
[Takahito: Let me know
when your appointment is over.]
267
00:22:51,655 --> 00:22:54,400
[Miyama Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic]
268
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,030
Thank you. Have a good day.
269
00:23:09,790 --> 00:23:11,725
What's this?
[Mother and Child Health Handbook]
270
00:23:12,285 --> 00:23:14,230
Keiichi, why are you here?
271
00:23:14,230 --> 00:23:16,040
I'm the one who's surprised here.
272
00:23:17,260 --> 00:23:21,560
Whose baby is in there right now?
273
00:23:30,404 --> 00:23:31,770
Don't tell anyone, okay?
274
00:23:31,770 --> 00:23:34,200
Then help me out.
275
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,920
In love with Mr. Seko?
276
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,200
She's an incredibly cynical woman!
277
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,655
I won't allow anyone to insult her.
278
00:23:41,655 --> 00:23:44,615
No matter what happens,
I promise I'll protect you.
