[ We were going to get a divorce. ]
[ You filled this in by yourself. ]
[ It's a lie...It's your fault! ]
[ Die with me. ]
[ Kairi! ]
[ Please stop! ]
[ I will not see VP again. ]
[ It's all my fault. ]
[ Farewell. ]
[ Letter of Resignation ]
I am sorry for the sudden notice.
I'd like to resign from my job at the end of the month.
I'll take my leave.
Kurihara, when did you decide to resign to get married with Miyazawa-san?
Well, that is...
Marriage,huh.
I am envious.
Really, I want to get married too.
I've stopped being picky, but...
But it was unexpected.
Kurihara, I thought you are the kind of person who would continue working after marriage.
Vice President!
Wow, it's been a long time. I am happy to see you.
What brought you here?
I have business meetings here,
so I will be in Tokyo until the end of the week.
In that case, let's go have a drink together.
VP, did you know that Kurihara's going to quit to get married?
Oh, excuse me. I have to leave now.
If I quit the company and do not have the chance to see him,
this love will end quietly.
This is the way it should be.
Kurihara!
Kurihara...
However,
just seeing his face makes me feel unsure of myself.
I am really sick of my indecisiveness.
I see. Kurihara-kun is going to quit.
I hope, with this, his wife would be satisfied.
Yea...
[ While I was unconscious, he was having an affair with another woman. ]
[ what's more, she's his subordinate at work. ]
[ There's no chance that VP and Kurihara will work together in the future. ]
[ I cannot believe it. ]
[ If Kairi tires to betray me again, ]
[ I will never forgive him. ]
Judging from her state of mind,
there's no telling what she will do.
if this goes public,
it will develop into a big problem involving our company.
Please pay ample attention.
Understood.
I will keep watch over those two.
- Another one! - Another one!
What's wrong with you now?
Oh? Miyazawa-san, what's the matter?
What? That Miyazawa-san?
A handsome guy.
Hello.
One draft beer.
Sure.
So what would you like tell me?
Do you know?
That Mia formally broke up with Miyoshi-san?
Finally, it's your turn.
I see.
She's broken up...
Hey, Chiaki.
Right now, we should leave Mia alone until she can put her feeling in order.
At a time like this, a man by her side would save her.
There's a part in a woman's heart that only a man can fill.
That's the way.
It's good.
It's moist inside.
Yea.
Yuka...why?
My sister has to work in Tokyo.
And it would've been boring if I had stayed in Osaka alone.
So I came.
Today, did you see Kurihara-san at work?
Hey, why don't you quit?
Since you began working for such a company, things stared to go wrong.
I cannot quit the company.
What happened to you?
You wanted to become an architect so much.
You can start working as an architect again.
Then everything will be as it was before.
It's impossible now.
[ We were going to get a divorce. ]
[ You filled this in by yourself. ]
[ I will never give in. ]
[ I will never divorce you. ]
Are you going to that woman's place?
I will never let you do that.
No, I am not.
Kairi!
Yuka.
I understand how you feel.
But Uncle promised that he would take care of this responsibly, right?
Kairi will be President of Tiffany in the near future.
I don't want such a thing.
To begin with, why is Kairi supposed to become President?
I was wondering whether I should tell you or not.
Kairi,
on condition that he would become Uncle's adopted son and succeed his company,
was getting Uncle's help to pay for your medical expenses.
- I am home. - I am home.
Mia, what's the matter?
Oh well...
Today...
I happened to see Vice President, who was in Tokyo for business.
Though I'd made up my mind to break up with him,
when I saw his face, I almost forgot everything.
Hey,Mia,
you've decided that you would be Miyazawa-san's girlfriend, right?
He's a nice guy. I think it's not a bad idea.
When I am with Miyazawa-san, I feel safe.
He's always by my side, too.
Oh, that's an appreciating point.
Oh if I were you, I wonder which man I would choose, Miyazawa-san or Miyoshi-san.
What are you talking about? Weren't you rooting for Miyazawa-san?
Not really. As long as Mia is happy, I don't care which guy.
Don't say such a thing.
What thing?
She's trying hard to give up Miyoshi-san and move forward.
So I'm telling you not to say things that will confuse her.
Akari, you don't understand. You've never really been in love.
What's that?
When you are in love,
your heart and mind tell you different things.
It's not easy to decide....
...which one you'll listen to.
I am fine. I've already made up my mind.
I shouldn't be indecisive.
I need to move forward firmly.
Here it comes. Here it comes.
Yeah!
Damn it!
You are really no good.
Hey, my turn.
What? OK.
Here I come! I'll show you the much-talked-about move, not Air-K but Air-Ryo!
That's a tennis move.
Nice catch.
Oh!
Oh! Hey...
Mia, because of your pointless remark, I wasted one ball.
That's because what you said was not funny.
You said it.
Hey, it's coming. Show me your Air-Ryo!
Air...Ryo!
What?
I got a cramp in my leg! Ouch, ouch, ouch!
You are too unfit.
A cramp! I got a cramp!
Are you alright?
No, no, no, no.
It's been quite a long time since I last exercised.
I'm afraid that my muscles will ache tomorrow.
You're right. Definitely we'll be in trouble.
Anything happened?
What?
This is the first time you asked me out on a date, Mia.
Somehow, you are strangely cheerful.
I...
I've broken up with Vice President.
Miyazawa-san, I wanted to inform you formally.
That you are informing me means...
Ah, would you please wait just a little longer?
I'd like to move forward.
With you, Miyazawa-san.
I will. I will, I will. I will wait, no matter how long.
I'll wait until dusk, until next year, or even until the time Tokyo Olympic starts.
We'll be old.
Yes, we will.
Mia.
Oh?
Akari? Why are you here?
I was around the area for my work and it ended early, so...
Would you come with me?
Well...okay.
Hello.
What are you doing?
I am working.
What time will you get off?
Why don't we have dinner somewhere?
I am near your office now.
I am sorry, but no...
Are you with that Kurihara woman?
No, I am not.
I'll make time soon.
Let's have a long chat then.
Really?
About us.
I'd like to have a proper conclusion.
[ Kuno Atsushi ]
Akari, do you come here often?
What?
It's surprising you come to such a place.
Yea.
Senpai?
You should talk to her once more.
Come on,Senpai, Let's go.
To tell you the truth, I was envious of you, Mia.
What?
Just like you, Mia,
I wanted to reach out to the person I love, as my heart desires.
Akari...
You know,
about what Chiaki said yesterday, that when we fall in love,
our hearts and minds tell different things...
I thought she was irresponsible again.
But, perhaps it's just that I don't understand.
Are you really sure that you are fine with the situation now?
Kurihara.
Vice President!
Akari, what's happening?
I told him I didn't like this, which is like cheating you.
I am sorry.Please don't get mad.
I insisted that Masaki-san bring you here.
Kurihara.
I'd like to talk one more.
I have nothing more to say to you.
Please wait.
Let me go.
Kurihara!
Mia.
Kurihara. Please hear me out.
It's over now.
I..
I made a difficult decision.
So please...
Please don't confuse me anymore.
I know I have no right to stop you.
I know that in my head. I know.
If...
If there is really no choice but to break up,
It there is no other answer for you, Kurihara,
I will accept it all.
Even if so, please,
I want to have the last talk properly.
Hey, Kurihara.
Kurihara.
What... That...
Senpai. Come here now.
Where did he go?
That suit....
Kairi.
That woman....
What are you doing?
If we are not close, she'll find out.
Hey, move away!
Excuse us. Excuse us.
Anyway, let's leave this place quickly.
Yes.
translate by: Takki.us
Well...Why?
I am not interested in the private life of my subordinate.
Chief...
Kurihara.
You will regret it if you listen to other people's opinions.
Two of you should find your own answer by yourselves.
Please go.
I wonder if they are alright.
Greez, they need other people's help to have a talk.
Just like middle school students. It's unbelievable.
Hey, Kuno-san.
You can take it off now.
You're right.
For you friend,
I realized, you can make a bold move.
Well...
Honestly, I was happy.
What?
That, instead of Chiaki,
you had contacted me.
Honestly I was happy.
When I first met you.
I thought you were such a rude person.
I also thought that I was caught up with a weird woman.
A weird woman? That's rude.
I like this place.
Just like now, I've often looked at it since I was a child.
It's like as if I'd come to a foreign country.
When I am here, I feel like the world spreads in front of me.
And I am able to open a new door.
It was the same at that time.
To give up being an architect and to become Vice President at Tiffany the next day,
to say goodbye to what I had been the day before,
and to make a resolution to take a new step forward, I was here.
A new step forward?
Yes.
Because I could meet you, Kurihara, my new step forward took me to a hopeful future.
In my case,
when I first met you, VP,
I felt that my sixth sense awakened.
Sixth sense?
A long time ago, my mother often said to me,
that everybody has a sixth sense...
...that tells you to be happy.
When I met you, VP, I felt it.
I was happy.
I met you, and I fell in love with you.
I was happier than I could imagine.
But...
I was wrong.
I know you're loved me very much, VP.
I was happy that you gave me back your affection more than I could hope.
Perhaps, just loving somebody is not enough.
There are things we cannot overcome just by loving somebody.
Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow,
the next day, and the following day,
I will always love you, Kurihara.
Thank you very much.
But...
I cannot live up to your affection ant more, VP.
As I expected,
you and I live in a totally different world.
You need to protect many things.
Not only your wife,
but your company and employees too.
All of them need you, VP.
You'll be fine.
You'll forget about me soon.
I won't
I will never forget.
Even if we are apart,
even if we cannot see each other ever again,
I will always be praying for your happiness.
Thank you for having this conversation.
I enjoyed the time together with you, Kurihara.
Thank you.
This...
I'd like to return you the key.
Farewell.
[ Mia, have you heard of the restaurant 'Classica Omotesando'? ]
Oh, I wanted to go there once.
No kidding. Really? I have a reservation at 7 tonight. Would you like to go?
Yes, but...
Miyazawa-san, what happened?
Is it okay that it's not yakiniku?
Stupid.
I would choose an appropriate restaurant when an important game is at stake.
Then, see you later.
Are you looking for a gift?
What?
Well...
- Thank you very much. - Thanks.
Kurihara-san's heart may still belong to you.
But...
In don't think I am losing to you.
It is not that things aren't going well for you guys because of the forbidden relationship.
It's that you two fell in love only because of the forbidden relationship.
You got excited by the hardship,
and mistakenly thought the thrill was love.
We are over now.
I hope...
...that you will make her happy.
What's the matter?
Kurihara.
What is this?
What?
" Tiffany's Vice President, Miyoshi Kairi,"
"...is having an affair with Kurihara Mia of the PR Department."
" He didn't have means to pay medical expenses for his wife who had been in a coma due to a traffic accident."
"He begged his uncle, President Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, and to get financial assistance,"
"he reluctantly agreed to become the VP at Tiffany."
"He's a cruel man who, after getting a lover while his wife was still in coma, asks for a divorce as soon as she has recovered."
Kurihara, this is not true, right?
This is untrue.
Everything is a lie!
Could it be that you were trying to quit because this was about to come out?
No, that's not true.
Hey, everyone.
Don't waste your time gossiping.Get back to your work.
Hirata, I don't have yesterday's report.
Chief, President is calling you.
Got it. Tell him I am coming now.
Yes.
You did an unthinkable thing.
I am sorry.
But...
I have no relationship with her at all other than a strictly business one.
Nonsense!
Somebody must have spread the groundless rumor just for fun.
Kurihara-kun was in charge of VP's learning.
There were times when they had to be together.
As for as money is concerned, it's a private matter.
It has nothing to do with the company.
This is considered an obstruction of our business, so I've asked the site administrator to delete the contents--
It doesn't matter whether it is true or not.
This rumor alone can tarnish our brand image completely.
We've stared hearing voice asking for a boycott of our products.
At this point, we cannot ignore this.
I demand VP's disciplinary dismissal in an urgent board meeting.
President, you should be prepared, too.
I will ask you to take responsibility for appointing the VP.
I will answer for all of this.
Would you please settle this matter with my resignation?
I'd like to talk.
[ I have a reservation at 7 tonight. Would you like to go? ]
Yes.
Excuse me.
Kurihara.
I have a plan.
Would you please look at this?
I am going to ask some popular internet news sites to run Yuka-san's interview.
Did you persuade her?
Yes.
I've already gotten Yuka-san's permission,
and she's going to fully cooperate.
By all means, please make this happen.
Yes, Sir.
Excuse me, Sir, we're about to close.
I see. I am sorry.
With this, there's no turning back.
Oh! Miyazawa-san...
Oh, no...
[ The number you dialed may be out of reach... ]
...or cannot be connected because the phone is turned off.
Oh...
Miyazawa-san?
Yea?
Oh , you finally come.
I am truly sorry.
You should be.
I was worried something might have happened.
Have you been waiting here all this time?
You didn't answer my calls, and now it is out of power.
I am really sorry.
Never mind. Never mind. I am fine.
We'll come again next time.
Aren't you going to ask why?
Oh, I am starving.
Let's go eat something.
Now.
Now, now.
What would you like?
It's late now, so maybe noodles?
Any place is fine with me. Oh, I'd like to go to the restaurant you often go, Kuno-san.
Yes.
Then see you tomorrow.
What? Tomorrow?
I told you not to see Kuno-san any more.
Chiaki, it has nothing to do with you any more.
I am in love with Kuno-san.
I always do all the thinking in my head but cannot act on it at all.
But this time, I want to be true to my heart.
There's absolutely no chance that that man will fall in love with you.
How can you say such a thing?
Kuno-san was experimenting using the both of us.
Experimenting?
He sleeps with me,
while he doesn't do anything with you.
Bodily connection and emotional connection.
He's trying two different approaches.
Trying?
To see how he can get the feel of "being in love".
Stop such a joke.
That man!
He has never fallen in love with anybody in his life!
Knowing this, can you still say that you're in love with him?
You...
You must be lying.
I am truly sorry today.
Don't mention it. I will forgive your tardiness up to three times.
I am sorry.
About the reason I was late today...
It's not true that there was trouble at a shop.
Actually...
I went to see VP's wife.
Right now, VP is in trouble at work.
So...
I am sorry I lied.
I may have wanted you to keep lying.
I am a man, too.
Well...
This is not exactly the situation I imagined,
but would you accept this?
Mia.
Let's get married.
Let's have a life together.
Please consider.
I cannot run this kind of article on our site.
For now, please go back.
Thank you very much. Good bye.
Yes. Really?
Thank you so much. Good bye.
Chief, Maichou Newspaper has agreed to run the article in their web site.
I see.
Oh, sorry.
Yes, this is kurihara.
Oh, thank you for your business.
[ Few days later. ]
Please remember our company in the future, too.
Thank you very much.
Good bye.
We're getting a great response!
There are a lot of interview requests from TVs and magazines,
but even more calls of encouragement from our customers are coming in.
"For him, being my husband takes priority over being Tiffany's Vice President."
"He and I are tied with an everlasting love."
Just as I thought, that post on the internet was untrue.
What's this?
Welcome home. I am happy that you're finally home.
I am making dinner now.
A pretense like this just for show...
With this, your uncle won't lose his face.
You should thank me.
If you divorce me,
you'll lose everything.
Kurihara-san is a strong person.
What's that supposed to mean?
I...
I accepted the interview, just as she asked me to.
I'd like to talk.
If we leave the situation as it is now,Vp will be given a disciplinary dismissal,
and it will also cause trouble to President, who had appointed VP.
What are you saying?
I want Kairi to get fired.
To begin with, how dare you come see me.
You've really got some nerves.
Moreover, you have something to ask of me?
Well, don't make me laugh.
I've understood well enough now.
The only person who can save VP...
...is you, Ma'am.
How dedicatedly VP has been supporting you,
and how ideal a husband he is...
I'd like you to tell me.
Please.
What are you getting at?
Once people know that you are a great couple,
I think everything will be fine.
Wow.
What a woman!
Fine.
I'll give you what you want.
But you understand, right?
Yes.
I will nerve ever go near Vice President.
I heard that she is going to Jimmy Choo?
Rather than the relationship with you,
she protected her own future.
Once the article is out, VP's divorce would no longer be possible.
Even so, you still wanted to protect VP?
Are you regretting it?
No.
I'm not regretting it.
People fall in love with their heart and minds.
Believing their instincts,
they seek out their sure happiness.
However,
if you heart and mind tell different things,
which one are you supposed to trust?
Honestly, I've known the right path for a long time.
[ Kurihara Mia ]
Hey, VP...
We have made many mistakes.
But...
I was in love with you.
I adored you so so much!
My heart was filled with you, VP.
When you laughed,
I become happy, too.
When you looked sad,
I was worried about you so much.
Just being next to you gave me power.
I could try harder than usual.
When I could not see you,
I felt as if there had been nothing enjoyable in the world...
and felt overly depressed.
When I could see you even for a moment I was the happiest woman in the world.
[ Do not forget to smile ]
Sometimes, I was in high spirits.
Other times I felt low.
Everything was like a dream.
But...
I need to return to reality.
People will wake up from their dreams some day.
When I open my eyes.
what I used to be before will no longer exist.
I will be reborn to a new me,
and I'll take a new step forward.
I, too will start from here.
Vice President.
Farewell.
What's the matter?
I am sorry to bother you at work.
Regarding your question the other time,
I've come to give you an answer.
Your marriage proposal...
I'll accept it.
Please...
...marry me.
