“Two million yen, no more, no less,” the male opponent stated firmly.
You stare at him incredulously, “That’s very low, there is no pre-nup between our clients, and it should be at least 50/50. Have you even considered the circumstances?”
Sitting in the conference room, Inoue Takuya- the very flirtatious lawyer for the opposition, is over to negotiate a settlement deal, and he is constantly throwing you playful or teasing or flirtatious looks, while you just kept rolling your eyes since the looks he threw have not gone unnoticed by you. This guy has been irritating the hell out of you, getting on your nerves all the time, as he has been using every opportunity to flirt with you, to get you to go out with him despite your very publicly known relationship with the one and only Gojo Satoru, and the fact that he has a thing for the very beautiful you is no secret to every one of your colleagues, and even bosses.
Takuya laughed sarcastically, “No way, 2 million yen is more than enough.”
“No, my client was with your client ever since her high school years, she gave up her career, she gave up everything for your client, and not to mention, she gave your client a family life with three children,” you argue. “And now your client is ditching her for a much younger model. Nothing can compensate all that.”
Takuya sighed, “You are too sentimental.”
You scoff, “I am fighting for what my client is very well entitled to.”
“Then, what’s your desirable figure?” Takuya queried.
“Two billion yen at least,” you reply firmly. “Take it or leave it, or I will see you in court.”
The man laughed, “Ha, two billion yen, dream on.”
You did not say anything, but look at him dead on. He stopped laughing upon seeing the serious look on your face.
Takuya sighed, “Two billion yen is way too high.”
You shake your head, as you smile knowingly, tracing a finger around the rim of your glass of water, and you sigh. “Does your client know how much his three beloved children hate his guts?”
“What?” Takuya asked, surprised, taken aback at your question.
“Even if your client does not know exactly how much, he should at least have the sense and idea to know that he is not their favorite person right now,” you reply.
“You see, the children have always been very close to my client, and they love her ever so dearly. What your client did to her have now completely alienated the children, they no longer want anything to do with him, and they cannot care any less about the money or inheritance,” you continue. “In fact, they are quitting their positions at the company, which I believe and I know will be a huge loss to your client and his company, losing his heirs and such competent successors.”
“My client still loves and cares for his children all the same, he wants to keep in contact with them,” Takuya stated. “And of course, he wants the children to take on the company and business in the future.”
You tilt your head to one side, “But his children want nothing to do with him.”
Takuya sighed, finally understanding what you are inferring, “Fine, I will take the figure back to my client…”
“And I will discuss with my client and her children, and see if there can be any leeway,” you finish.
You start gathering your files and documents, while Takuya just continued to stare at you, you did not have to look to know that he was staring at you, and you frown.
“Inoue-kun, I believe we are done for today, just get back to me when you have discussed and negotiated with your client,” you state, standing up from the table.
Takuya nodded with understanding, also standing up, he offered a handshake, “OK, it was nice talking to you today, I will be in touch.”
You accept the handshake, but when you try to pull your hand back, he wouldn’t allow you too.
“Excuse me,” you state in a hard-tone, looking at him sharply.
“Nuh-uh, we still have a matter to discuss,” Takuya stated arrogantly, with an arrogant grin.
“What?” you ask, a little annoyed. “And let go of me first!”
Takuya smiled, and nodded, he let your hand go, but he did not back off, standing close mere inches to you.
He carried on with his arrogant air, and he grinned confidently, “You still owe me a cup of coffee, Y/N-chan.”
You look at him incredulously, “What? I don’t owe you anything, not a cup of coffee in the least!”
“When I asked you to get a coffee together the last time, you didn’t say anything, I assume that was a ‘yes’ from you,” Takuya replied with a grin.
“You assume?! What kind of logic is that? You cannot assume anything from me when you practically know nothing about me. I didn’t say anything to you because I did not care about your offer, nor do I want to go out with you. How many times do I have to tell you that?” you say, annoyed.
“I will shut up if you go out with me,” Takuya stated with a charming smile.
You roll your eyes, and then you turn serious, looking at him dead-on. “Look here, Inoue-kun, I do not like you, and most importantly, I have a boyfriend, and I love him.”

While you and that lawyer were bickering in the conference room, some people are starting to cause a raucous outside, as Gojo Satoru and his just-as-handsome guy friends- Geto and Nanami have made their first appearance in the law firm, in the years you have been dating, in front of all of your bosses and colleagues, who gasped and stared in awe in stunned surprise. They had just landed back in Tokyo, after an overseas business trip to South Korea, and they headed off to the law firm after dropping everything off, as Satoru couldn’t wait to see you again. Knowing that the guys are probably here for you, the bosses and colleagues respectfully greeted them, but they did not bother them for selfies, although most of them were tempted to.
Your friend and colleague- Suki grinned on seeing them at the office, and greeted them brightly and cheerfully.
“Hi guys, wow, this is a really nice surprise! Didn’t you just arrive? What are you doing here?”
Satoru, Geto and Nanami grinned.
“I cannot wait to see Y/N again,” Satoru replied with a grin.
Suki nodded in understanding, and then grinned, “Oh good, now that you are here, you can totally help her out.”
The boys frowned.
“What do you mean?” Satoru asked, confused.
Suki nodded her head towards the direction of the conference room, the boys looked and their eyes widened at the sight of a very annoyed you, and a clearly very flirtatious man, who stood very close to you, and way too close for Satoru’s liking. The boys turned back to Suki, still gob-smacked.
“What’s this?” Satoru asked.
“Don’t worry, Y/N is the most loyal and faithful person I know…” Suki replied.
Satoru nodded, “I know that, but who is that guy who is clearly flirting with my girl?”
Suki and the other boys grinned at Satoru’s use of the term ‘my girl’.
“That guy is also a lawyer, but a really flirtatious one, he has been hounding after Y/N for months and months, despite the fact that she has already told him thousand times that she has a boyfriend whom she loves, and despite the fact that your relationship is already public knowledge,” Suki explained with a sigh.
Satoru growled, “Who does he think he is?”
“This is why I said it’s so good that you are here now, you can assert yourself in front of him,” Suki stated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, inside the conference room, you are delivering your final blow.
“Not to mention, you are incredibly disrespectful, you know very well who my boyfriend is, our relationship is no secret to the public, this clearly tells you that I have a boyfriend, and we are committed to one another, yet you are still persistent,” you state. “What on earth is wrong with you? We are done here.”
You turn and back away, and immediately opened the conference room door and you are stunned to find yourself facing the grinning face of the love of your life. Not caring anyone else around, you quickly envelop him in a tight hug, and he was only more than happy to reciprocate.
“Oh my god, baby, what are you doing here so early? I thought you’d be taking a rest, didn’t you just arrive from Seoul?” you ask.
Satoru grinned, “I couldn’t wait to see you again, and I have missed you ever so much.”
“I’ve missed you so much too, baby,” you state back with a loving look.
Satoru smiled, so happy and content to be back with you, he leaned in to kiss you, and you happily kissed back, but he did not forget the one additional thing he has to do, that is, to assert himself as the boyfriend, right in front of the flirtatious male.
Cupping your face, he stared lovingly into your eyes, “How has work been for you? Not too stressed out or tired out, are you?”
Holding his hands in yours, you shook your head with a reassuring smile, “Baby, I am all good, don’t worry about me.”
He smiled lovingly at you, before casting his eyes up to stare at Inoue Takuya, he looked back at you, asking, “Who is this?”
“Oh, him, right, this is Inoue Takuya, the lawyer for the opposition in one of the cases I am working on now, we were meeting to negotiate and discuss a settlement,” you reply.
You turn to Takuya, smiling proudly, and introduced Satoru, “Inoue-kun, I’m sure he needs no introduction, he is the one I’ve been telling you so much about, my boyfriend- Gojo Satoru.”
You turn back to Satoru, smiling proudly at him, and he grinned back in return. Satoru then turned to Takuya, he did not smile, and stated seriously, and heavily emphasized, “Hello, Inoue-kun, I’m Gojo Satoru, Y/N’s boyfriend.”
Then, Satoru looked the guy up and down, and stepped up close, smirking, “I saw what you did, and as flattered as I am that you find Y/N very attractive to flirt…sorry to inform you that, there is no way in hell Y/N will ever leave me for you.”
You, standing at the back, watched on with amusement at your boyfriend’s cocky confidence, but you also can’t help enjoying him being territorial around you.
“Inoue-kun, can’t you find a girlfriend of your own?” Satoru continued taunting. “Or are you so terrible at it, that you have to hit on someone else’s girlfriend? I’d appreciate it if you stop doing that to Y/N, my girlfriend.”
Without another word, with a cocky grin, Satoru turned back to you, and wrapped an arm around your waist, held you close and led you out of the room.
“Oh, Mr. Gojo, you are so territorial,” you comment with a grin.
“You don’t like it?” Satoru asked, an eyebrow raised.
“Oh, I love it!” you reply with a grin.
