I fell in love instantly.
My unstoppable feelings have sprinted off like a roller coaster.
While knowing he has wife.
That kiss was not an act.
Would you be satisfied if said so?
There was a dark shadow beyond the light.
I couldn't even imagine that from his prince-like appearance.
Kairi cannot escape.He's not allowed to escape.
He killed his own wife.
When you're in doubt, do this.
Not listening to anybody's voice. Not reading anybody's face.
Don't worry.Keep smiling.
And that secret that he was forced to keep by a quirk of fate...
At this time,I...don't know anything about it.
I'm in love with you,VP.
Please
Please make me your lover.
Kurihara
I know!
You don't know anything,Kurihara.
If I've encouraged you,I am sorry.
But don't be mistake.
What are you doing?
Yes!I'm so over it!!
Hmm it's good! One more glass, please!
Stop it now.
Why?
" Please make me your lover",huh!
You were really daring.
Yes, I was!
You went for it.
You failed.
And now you're broken.
Yup!
Now I'm completely over it!
I'll live for my job,right, Akari?
I guess so.
I wish you could forget about him that easily.
Woman can forget,but....
..the would would be deep.
Good morning!
Alright,I'll try my best today too!
I wonder if something good happened.
Probably a man.
Time to check email....
Let me see...
This is the list of products we will include in our casual line campaign.
I'm negotiating for special sections in magazines targeting the late teens and twenties.
With this,I am hoping people would know we have products affordable even for students.
For young people, we shouldn't give too little information.
We need at least four pages.
As for the product photos, have new ones taken just for this.
- Yes. - Yes.
That campaign was killed at the executive meeting just now.
What do you mean?
That we will cancel the casual line campaign?
I'm telling you , our sales have been flat.
But the limited edition jewellery is selling well at the Shijuku store.
And as expected, we have achieved our target.
That didn't help. We are still behind Singapore and Korea.
Compared to other branches in the world, we are not doing well now.
For pride of Tiffany Japan.
make every effort to improve the business.
But I've already talked to publishers about this campaign
It's for our business.Please let it go.
We are to get results as soon as possible.
Understand.
Let's switch our next campaign to high-eng jewellery.
Yes.
I understand that business figures are a grave concern.
But we've worked hard together until now.
I wonder if we the only ones who thought we belong to the same team.
It's easy to say"Let it go".
but what was our effort until now for?
For the casual line PR to go to waste..
Hard to accept,right?
I'm going to the store to return the merchandise.
I need to go to the store too.
Oh, I see.
Then,Let's go together.
Yea.
Seems thought.Things like business figures.
Yea.
Well,about yesterday,please forget about it.
I'm sorry for saying weird things abruptly.
I lost my mind a little.
Somehow I was all pumped up.
Alright, let's do our best today!
Oh
Are you looking for something?
If you like,why don't you come inside?
It's ok to just look around.
That!
What?
I'd like that, please.
This is the Open Heart.
Yes.I'll have this.
Are you really sure?
If you pay a little more, there are other choices..
Excuse me,VP.
Do you have to be so concerned about sales?
Don't say anything unnecessary.
He just pointed out to what you had on.
So I'm merely telling him that there are many other choices.
If you pay 10,000 yen more, this one is excellent.
He said he likes the Open Heart.
You like this,right?
Even if you own it,that doesn't mean it's the best.
You two get along well
What?
No, not at all.
I hope I can be like that
Actually,I'm going to confess with this to the girl I like on her birthday.
I see.
All the more you have to put in more effort!
Vice President!
By the way,if thing do not go well after I confess...
You'd like to return it?
Actually it's non-returnable..
But you can talk to me about it.
Oh,I'm glad.
When is her birthday?
If you could bring it back on the same day, most likely I'll...
No,you can't
Wait...
If you confess with such feelings,thing will never go well.
Once you've made the resolution.
you need to trust yourself and just go for it.
Yes.
just in case you'd like to return it,you can contact me.
This Open Heart...
...holds a message,"to open your heart".
I hope this reaches her.
If Kurihara-san hadn't called out to me I'd probably have given up.
What?
This store is splendid.
and the sales persons seem so elegant.
I didn't have the courage to step in.
I searched thoroughly on the internet,
and finally came across what I thought was the one.
I'll trust myself and do my best.
You're saying all those cool things.
but in the end your utmost concern is the sales, isn't it?
Of course.
You are greedy.
Stingy.
Do you have to say that much?
It's nostalgic.
When I was a student,after I've saved enough money from part time jobs.
I looked forward to coming to Tiffanny.
Speaking of which,just the other day, the people in our PR group were saying similar things.
When I was in college, what I bought with money I made from my part time jobs..was Tiffany.
- Me too. - Me too,Me too...
No,for my girlfriend.
Whenever I visited the store, my heart was beating really fast.
While I was trying on the jewellery I dreamed of,
I felt glad I had worked hard at my part time jobs.
Just by putting on a special jewellery,
a women can smile.
She can feel confident.
Because I was convinced of this then, I've become what I am today.
I think everyone in the PR group was taking the casual line campaign personally too.
Tiffany is alway special,but close to us.
I see.
You can do anything about the PR strategy any more?
I don't think the casual line campaign will be waste.
People who dreamed of Tiffany when they were students will come back after they've started working--
It's already decided.
It's your habit,Kurihara,to bring your emotions to work.
Cancer! Cancer!
We are back.
That stubborn guy.
Hey!! Will your overseas shoot take about a week?
No,it's 3 night 2 days.
I see.
I give up!
It's the worst that such a guy is the VP.
Relax,Mia. you seem to enjoy your job anyway.
It's not fun. Thanks to that stubborn guy....
...the atmosphere in the office is the worst.
Okay, Okay.
Have a good sleep on the plane.
Thanks.
Mia, make up with VP.
I won't.
That guy is the PR group's enemy.
Have a good trip!
I don't think the casual line campaign will be a waste.
I searched thoroughly on the internet, and finally came across what I thought was the one.
If kurihara-san hadn't called out to me.
I'd probably have given up.
Come on.
Excuse me.
Oh, It's you, Kairi.
What happened?
I have a new plan I'd like to show you.
Not answering?
I don't recognise the number.
Lately,there are calls from unlisted numbers. I am a bit scared.
Yota-kun?
I don't know.
- Hello - Hello
This is Miyazawa from the scene.
Some merry man from Kansai area.
Hello, can you hear me there in the studio,Kurihara-san?
What is it,Miyazawa-san?
Oh no.You need to talk to me back in the same kind of tone.
Please don't force me to use that strange Osaka tone.
What are you doing now?
What?
I see.
I'll entrust you with the negotiation.
Thank you very much.
Kairi.
Despite of the opposition from my surroundings,
I selected you.
Do not make me lose face.
I think I know my role.
The results are everything.
I have high hopes of you.
Welcome.I've been waiting for you.Come in please.
For the purpose of showing our charm,
I feel you should feel our actual atmosphere.
Good job!
Is it okay for an outsider to be here?
Don't be so formal.Soon you will be part of our family.
I thought I declined the offer.
Here you go again.
You are teasing me.
A first-year person does such a job too?
You must be outstanding.
Our corporate culture is such that we value learning from experience.
There are things you won't understand unless you actually engage in them.
I see....
How long have you been working at Tiffany, Kurihara-san?
It's been 3 years.
Then, it's a good time to move up in your career.
No...
You need to establish your career by changing job in order to move up.
If you don't punish yourself, you will be behind your peers.
I am for from it...
Don't be modest.
I am asking you because you are a talent.
Oh, no...
It's a waste to be working under such a VP.
What are you doing there?
My senpai loves to wear Jimmy Choo's shoe too.
I believe Tiffany has men's lineup too.
Yes.
How did you like it?
My company looks fun, doesn't it?
Yes.
Then!
Well,but I like jewellery.
Again!Here you go again!
I never thought the unbeatable me would have a hard time fighting against jewellery!
Naturally.
Jewellery makes a woman spineless.
I've become spineless.
My bone, my bone.
Spine,spine Where's my spine?
Say something quickly.
What are you doing?
That smile.
What?
Your smile attracts people.
That's why I cannot give you up.
You're exaggerating.
Ok.I'll take my leave now.
Thank you very much.
What's the matter,VP?
That stalker was hanging around in front of the company building.
Watch out for him.
That's all.
You came all the way to tell me that?
I called but you didn't pick up.
Vice President....
I didn't need to worry.
I suppose that guy can protect you.
It's not that!
You asked me to make you my lover. That didn't work out, so you move to the next.
For such things, you can switch really quickly.
That's right.
Miyazawa-san is a better person than I thought.
He gives me a lot of advice, so...
That's good then.
He's been asking me over to Jimmy Choo.
The pay is very good.
Today,he invited me to their company's wrap-up party.
That's good.Do whatever you like.
Sure I will. You don't need to tell me.
I am back.
What?
That stalker was hanging around.
Welcome back.
Oh,Kuno-san.
Oh,Mia!Welcome back.
I am back.
What?Sudden development at home?
It's not that...
I invited my self to your home. I wanted to see Masaki-san right away.
At our meeting it's been decided that Kuno-san's novel will be serialized.
Wow, awesome!
Thanks.
I heard it on the phone, and I was so pleased...
that I asked her to make arrangements right away.
And Masaki-san told me she was at home,so...
I see...
Congratulations! Please stay as long as you can.
Well then,I'm going out now.
Mia
- If you want,? I will stay overnight somewhere. - Mia!
Please make me your lover.
You don't know anything, Kurihara.
Do not make me lose face.
Translation:takki.us
I am Miyoshi from Tiffany Japan.
I am Sakagami from Cyber Sale.
Sakagami Managing Director,thank you very much for your precious time.
Not at all.I'm honoured that you yourself came to see me,VP.
I am sorry to rush,but may I talk to you about the exclusive contract with your company?
Of course.Please,this way.
So, seems like we are on track for an exclusive contract with Cyber Sale.
Cyber Sale?
Is it that biggest online seller?
That's awesome!
We'll focus on selling the low cost casual lineup.
Then.
I'd like to strengthen our PR activities along with our services.
I am sorry that things changed many time.
Therefore, I want you to resume the campaigns you were promoting before.
Oh, no, but....
I already told the magazines to stop putting out the ad.
Because of our situation, we rejected them once,if we were to ask them again...
I'm sorry to say this.
But this is business.
We need to put forward the best strategy at the best timing.
If you can't be flexible, you can't call yourself a professional.
Got it, everyone?
Start right away.
Yes...
Why did you talk to us like that?
Lately,you're strange,VP.
To produce good results by any means.That's all.
Kuno-san, were you possible with your girlfriend till morning?
It was until morning alright,but...
No!
Akutagawa's best is "jigokuhen".The plot is superb.
That is overly crafty.
Akutagawa's strength was in his late work."Haguruma".
Nobody can recreate that madness-filled world of his.
His ability to construct stories diminished in his late works.
Not being able to see this limit.
I really doubt your novelist sense.
You are the one.
Aren't you too opinionated for an editor?
Stayed up all night again?
Yes,it was work.
Chiaki-chan.
Hello
Alright, I got it.
Okay
Kurihara.
Yes.
There's a guest for you and VP.
What happened?
Could it be..
It didn't work out.
I see.Then,I'll start the refund--
Oh,no.It's okay.
When I chose this, I felt very happy.
I think for that alone,buying this was meaningful.
But...
I'll hold onto this carefully.
When I look at this...
I remember you two, and fell that I can try hard.
Some day when I meet someone I like even more than this,
I'll then buy a gift from here again.
Thank you very much.We will wait for that day.
It's thank to you.
Thank to you,I could make up my mind.
You're the VP of Tiffany, right?
Yes.
As a matter of fact, I looked you up a bit.
You were an architect before,
and have succeeded your uncle's company.
Actually,I'm also being told to succeed my father's company.
If I don't,he says he will disown me.
I cannot accept it...
So I wondered how you were...
I see.
Yes.
At first, I...
I also felt,"why me?"
But now I'm doing a job of my choice.
Your choice?
I am blessed with wonderful subordinates.
For those people too.
I'd like to look for ways to please as many people as possible.
Even if I have to give up my dream.
But, please do not forget.
You can choose the future you like.
Do not be bound by fate.
Please choose a future that Leaves you with no regrets.
Vice President.
What you said just now,about ways to please as many people as possible...
The dealing with Cyber Sale means that,doesn't it?
I hope it will be like that.
Special,but close to us.
Tiffany is such a brand for everyone, right?
Yes.
With regards to resuming the casual line campaign,
I came up with an idea to ask publishers for their cooperation.
How about planing a special party exclusive to their readers?
But isn't it rather difficult to make it happen?
It's a great opportunity to appeal to the younger generation.
That's true, but..
You all were saying so, weren't you?
That you want more people to know that we are affordable even for young people.
Well...
For sure, we caused them trouble because of our problem,
So maybe we should do this much.
Kurihara, get this proposal ready for presentation right away.
Yes.
Kurihara, thank you for everything.
It's to liven up the campaign.
I'll do my best.
VP,President is calling for you urgently.
The contract with Cyber Sale was cancelled?
I was told they would sign a contract with D Gold.
Why did they?
Yesterday,they were surely...
Sakagami MD told me you offered him an illegal deal.
illegal?
What are you talking about?
You must know.
Rumor has it that you tried to bribe him.
No way..I have no idea.
That's enough.
Since things are like this, the casual line promo is a no-go.
Please wait!
No matter what really happened,you failed in the negotiation.
Without results, there is no meaning.
That is business.
MD!
Please,Sir.
What do you want from me?
Sakagami MD,we need to talk again.
Please give up. It's been decided.
Please, We need to talk...
No way, noway.I'm in a hurry.
Please, MD!
Please make an appointment first.Drive on.
MD,please!
Welcome back.
Kuno-san!Why?
What do you mean"Why"?
It's you who mailed me your flight number.
Kurihara, are you still working?
I just need to have VP's approval for this business proposal.
Then,I'll leave first.
See you tomorrow.
Oh,Vice Pres...
I'll take my leave.
Haruku?
What are you doing here?
I came to thank President because he came to visit at the hospital before.
It wasn't necessary for you to come all way.
Yes,It is.
You don't pay enough attention.
That's why I have to do such things.
Even when you come to the hospital, you leave right away these days.
What do you think she is?
I can't help it.I've got work to do.
What is it about work?Yuka has nobody but you.
I know.But there's nobody who can take my place at work.
"There's nobody who can take my place."
You are saying that?
Do not misunderstand.You can be a mere figurehead.
Just sit on the VP's chair.
Kurihara.
Oh,I am done with the proposal.
The deal with Cyber Sale has come to nothing.
What?
Again,everyone will hate me.
Vice President...
To please as many people as possible,
it may just be self-satisfaction.
If there's anything I can do...
That's unnecessary.Go home now.
I'll keep this proposal.
Can't I..
Even as your subordinate,
can't I stay by your side?
I don't have to be your lover.
But as your subordinate,I want to be of help--
Stop it.
That man may be lying in wait for you again.
Watch out when you go home.
I think it's better that you stay alert at work.
Nothing's going on with her.
Let me say one thing as her boss.
This is something that will alter her life drastically.
I urge you not to take the wrong course by any means.
Please.
I know that.
Do not make me lose face.
You can be a mere figurehead.Just sit on the VP's chair.
This is something that will after her life drastically.
I urge you not to take the wrong course by any means.
She's mine!
You don't know anything,Kurihara.
What is it about work?Yuka has nobody but you.
Mia?
Mia,what are you doing?Stop!
Leave me alone!
You'll definitely regret it.Are you okay with it?
Why did I fall in love with such a person...
I will never have him
Mia...
Rather...
I wonder if I should go to Jimmy Choo.
VP..
...seems to have a kid. A girl named Yuka.
Is that so?
Most likely.
I heard him talking with his wife.
There's no other choice but to forget.
I know that..
But once again I realised that I'm in love with him...
Over and over again...
Because I love Tiffany, I started working at this company.
But working there is painful.
What is that?
Seems like it's this guy.
The one that VP negotiated with.
He's at a hotel Atami.
That's right.This is upsetting.
We are having a hard time, dealing with the mess.
Vice President.
As you may have heard already,
our contract with Cyber Sale is now a standstill.
But it's not that we cannot do anything.Do not give up--
Vice President!
Please stop confusing your subordinates.
The campaign has been cancelled.
Everyone,understood?
Yes...
Vice President.
I'm going to Atami.
Are you going to persuade MD?
I read your proposal yesterday.
I thought it was good.
I wrote down some suggestions and it's on the desk in my room.
Take it with you,
Thank you very much.
It it's you, Kurihara,
I think you can open many young people's hearts.
The rumor of VP offering a bribe seems to have spread in the industry.
Great groundwork, as expected.
VP needs to know the harsh reality of the world.
I've sent a proper gift to Sakagami MD.
I see.Leave this matter to me.
Does this mean that VP was set up?
I'll take the appropriate measure.
I'm going to see Sakagami MD.
Kurihara!
There's so much work to be done.
I have to go!
Would you please hear me out once more?
I told you it's useless.
Please.
Our people's passion is vested in the contract with you.
Passion?
No matter which generation, country, or region they belong to.
We'd like many people to get to know our jewellery.
That is our passion...
Do you think I can be persuaded with such a heart-warming story?
You don't get it.
Then let me say it clearly.From the beginning, you're not been taken seriously.
The contract with D Gold had been in place from the onset.
By hinting that your company was also interested,
We could raise the contract money.
So, the one who spread the rumor of an illegal deal is...
Hey,stop your false accusation.
It's expected that companies try to backstab each other.
I think you should learn a little more about this business world.
I am sorry.
I see...So it was Nakajima MD.
When I reported it to Chief Mukai,
I was told to leave the matter to her.
I was unable to see through.
I only have myself to blame.
To Atami station,please.
All the train services have been suspended now due to an accident.Fine with you?
What?
Seems like they won't resume the services until tomorrow.
We have only one room left.
Kurihara, you take that.I'll look elsewhere.
Because of the accident,all the hotel near the station are full.
We have this room because of a sudden cancellation.
Would you like some tea?
No,thanks.
Hello.
Hey,what do you mean by not being able to come back!
It was awful! Her heartbeat was unstable.
Is Yuka alright?
She's now stable.
I see.That's good.
You always talk about work.Is it more important than her?
I'm sorry.
You're useless!
Is everything okay?
Yea.
VP....
You look as if you were living for other people.
What?
Just like all the superheroes in the movies.
Like Batman, or Spider-man.
What are you talking about?
Although you are suffering yourself.
you try your best to help other people.
I am not that kind of great person.
You don't co,plain.
Youn have secret too.
That's why only the audience are aware of your suffering.
I hope everybody will be aware of it.
People in the PR team too.
Your wife too.
It's okay to complain once in awhile, you know.
I am okay with it.
If I could please many people.
Last time, you taught me this, didn't you?
To do this.
Was it your father who taught you?
Yea.
I do this from time to time.
When I am totally confused.
Not listening to anybody's voice.
Listening to your own voice.
That's what you're taught me.
But..
You seem to be listening to nothing but voices of your surroundings.
Oh, well...
I just remembered my father told me the same thing.
When I was little.
He told me I listened to adults too much.
My father died when I was in 6th grade.
Even after his funeral,I could not cry.
I was told by my relatives, many things like "cheer up",and "support your mother well".
So I thought I must hang on.
I wanted to make my mother smile.
so I was alway cheerful.
After a while,when I visited his grave.
I recalled my father's words, and tried this.
Then...
All of a sudden,tears welled up in my eyes.
You don't need to bear the pain.
I thought that...
...my feelings would not matter.
My burden is too heavy...
...and I am too small.It disgusts me.
It's alright.
I will carry it together.
Kurihara, it's too heavy for you to carry
It may be so.
But nevertheless..
..the burden will be lighter when I carry it with you.
I don't want to make you unhappy.
What is happiness..I'll decide that on my own.
I think I'll make you suffer.
Even so...
I am fine.
I've made my resolution.
I..
In my 25 years of life..
I feel most strongly now, that I'm glad to be born a woman.
No matter what happens.
Would you trust me?
Of course.
Come in.
Excuse me.President,did you ask for me?
This is President Ishioka of Cyber Sale.
Nice to meet you.
He wants you to talk about internet sales.
I see.I know where you are coming from.
I'll cancel the contract with D Gold.
Really?
Please sign an exclusive contract with our company.
Thank you very much!
Looking forward to working with you.
But why?
My negotiation with Sakagami MD didn't go well..
Oh,regarding that...
I am sorry that our Director Nakajima caused you trouble.
No.It turned out that Sakagami had been receiving bribes repeatedly for a while.
With the report from your Chief Mukai,we have fired him today.
I see.
Actually, I have a son.
He's 20 years old this year.
Thank to you,he has finally agreed to succeed the company.
Could it be..
That's right.
He will take a path his choice.
That's what he told me.
Those who decide their own paths...
...have strong resolutions.
I think your son will be a great successor.
Yes.
Everybody chooses the path he or she believes in, and starts walking on it.
Looks like that rumor about VP was untrue.
I knew it from the beginning.
He will never do anything bad...
Right!
Okay,I'll apologise.
It's better to apologise now.
You were awful.
There is a shining future beyond.
No matter what happens.
We can definitely overcome it.
I believed so.
However, at that time,
I still had no idea.
That the future I believed in...
...would crumble in a instant.
Mia.
Yota.
There's something I want to show you.
Hey,let me go!
Mia.
Don't you want to know that VP's secret?
Secret?
Kairi cannot escape.He's not allowed to escape.
Yuka has nobody nut you.
Is yuka alright?
Kurihara, it's too heavy for you to carry.
No matter what happens.
would you trust me?
Here.
This person...
...is Miyoshi Kairi's wife.
