"Nyaa" I wake up out of nowhere with the alarm clock next to making a sound and suddenly waking up.
’Ah yes...I slept in the car’ My position in the bed is slightly uncomfortable, I know I was placed in a good position, but now I’m all twisted in the bed, I quickly get up and go to the bathroom.
The first thing I feel is the sll of breakfast, so it must be 5:50 in the morning already since Arthur hasn’t called yet. In the bathroom, I just brush my teeth, wash my face, tidy up my ssy hair, and put on a light perfu.
Strong scents bother , so the perfu has only a light floral aroma, nothing too overpowering.
I put on my office suit and go to the kitchen where I find Arthur finishing cooking.
"Good morning, master" I say to him, enjoying the pleasant sll.
"Good morning, did you sleep well?" He asks as he places a hamburger he just fried on a plate with eggs, bacon, toast, and cheese bread.
"Yes, I slept very well" I haven’t been here for long, but so far I have nothing to complain about, life is great.
’Hamburger...’ The at is fish, it’s not bad, but I was expecting beef because I ate a lot of fish yesterday.
We both start eating breakfast slowly, and it’s now that I notice the little problem I have.
’I’ll have to work...without being sure what to do...’ I do have so mories of my duties, but having mories doesn’t an knowing how to do them perfectly, I’ll have to figure it out sohow.
"The breakfast is great, master..." I complint the food, which is really good, putting a smile on Arthur’s face. I think little things like these helped live a little more.
"It’s a sha you’re going to change departnts" He starts a conversation about work.
"Y-Yes..." If I didn’t know what to do before, it’s even worse now, but I’ll use what I know to make it work sohow, even though I’m changing departnts, my duties should remain pretty much the sa.
He sees that I’m not very interested in this, so he falls silent, and after we finish eating, we go to the car, ready to arrive at work on ti without delays.
He drives the car while I just observe the outside, humans and semi-humans strolling the streets or going to work. In monts like these, I really wonder what love truly is.
Ironically, this whole situation happened to because I didn’t know what love is and didn’t value it. If I had valued the love I had, none of this would have happened.
And even being in different worlds with people who love with and without reason, I still can’t understand.
"You seem pensive, why, Shizune?" Arthur asks as he drives and makes a turn.
"Just thinking about how ’lucky’ I am to have soone loving " I say a little sarcastically, maybe more than I’d like, but it’s a truly bitter irony.
"I understand, well, know that I will always love you just the way you are" He says as he parks in front of a building.
"Yes...always will love ..." I murmur, not liking it much. I know he will always love , and that’s exactly the problem I have, which is a bad thing for in every way.
As soon as he parks the car, I get out without much real enthusiasm, thinking about love has left depressed, as it is the biggest cause of my problems.
’I wish I could love soone as madly as they love , so I could understand what the feeling is like’ I just think about that. It would be good, I’d like to have that crazy love that everyone has, because then I would know how it feels and how to deal with it.
Arthur and I just enter the company, and each of us goes our separate ways. He goes up to the second-to-last floor, while I go to the 20th floor of the 59-story building with a penthouse.
"Good morning, Shizune" Another office worker greets with a smile without taking her eyes off the computer.
"Good morning..." I just respond with a good morning as I go to the place I now know is where I work, arriving at a new room. The room is larger than the one I had before, with a desk, computer, and even so plastic plants decorating the place.
"So you’re my secretary?" I hear a voice that makes look back and see the semi-human who is the "pet" of the company’s owner.
"Yes, that’s " I say, staring at him.
’Great...’ He is a tall man, being a gray wolf semi-human, a predator type, which ans that if he has an outburst here and attacks soone, killing the person would be easy for him.
And as a semi-human of the company’s owner, depending on how much favoritism he has, nothing will happen to him, so if I, a semi-human, am attacked by him, nothing will happen to him.
I know that only a Yandere can kill , but I don’t think it’s good to get hurt.
’He has a normal collar...’ Predator type semi-humans need a special collar, but this guy only has a normal one with a tracker, which ans he has high favoritism from his owner.
"I’m Lykaon, pleased to et you, miss assistant" He speaks with so sarcasm in his voice, his black eyes staring at and evaluating .
"If you attack , I’ll retaliate" I make it clear to him. It’s not uncommon for semi-humans to attack others, it’s sothing genetic and uncontrollable, especially for certain types of semi-humans.
"Oh? You have courage"
"I can show you that I have a lot more than just courage" I try to speak in the most threatening way I can.
’Damn, I’m letting my instincts control ’ Cats and dogs don’t get along very well, and this ends up fitting perfectly with semi-humans. He, as a wolf, doesn’t give good vibes.
"Hahahaha" He laughs, as if what I said was a funny joke, not taking seriously.
"So the little cat has claws? That’s funny, you know, it’s been a while since I’ve t another semi-human as entertaining as you, don’t worry, I won’t bite you, little cat" He speaks as if he has absolute confidence in beating .
And in a way, he would be right. If I still didn’t know how to fight, he could be stronger, faster, and more resistant, but now I have fighting techniques, and if necessary, I’ll use them.
"Just don’t bother , I hate dogs that stink like they’ve been in the rain for days" I say arrogantly, even though I don’t want to start a fight, I can’t help it.
Instincts are stronger than , and his scent is really unpleasant. Why did he douse himself in perfu like that?
"...Great..." He speaks irritated while growling slightly. I seem to have touched on sothing personal. He leaves the room with heavy steps, making other people move away from him to let him pass.
’What was the administration thinking in leaving him and together? Are they idiots?’ Our company works with semi-humans and collar technology, so everyone here is aware of what not to do.
And yet they placed two semi-humans who obviously don’t get along near each other, practically asking for a fight to happen.
Especially because this bastard ca in already trying to mark the entire area as if it were his territory alone. The company’s rules say that different types of semi-humans need to be kept apart to avoid trouble.
And yet and this guy were placed in the sa sector, and I’m even his secretary. Favoritism is really annoying when it only benefits the other side.
I just sit at my desk, bothered by all this, while I turn on the computer and search my mories to know what I should do.
According to my mories, I should review general reports on the operation of the collars and GPS in each one, and ensure that there are no failures.
If any of the collars have an error, I will be held responsible if I let it pass. As soon as I open the computer, I see spreadsheets and papers with important things highlighted in blue to catch my attention.
And the secondary, but still important things, have shades of green that are also eye-catching for my vision, which helps keep my focus on the screen. My office also has excellent sound insulation.
As well as the windows being extrely frosted and almost completely opaque, all of this to inhibit my feline instincts from distracting my focus, since this is important.
"It’s not that hard..." The colors make it clear what I should focus on, and I already find 3 papers with flawed reviews and project failures. I also use knowledge from my first life and business knowledge to review the plans.
"Failure...failure...failure...failure...failure...failure..." With each failure, I murmur to maintain focus. What is correct, I ignore, and what has a failure, I murmur and then move on to another area.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the authority to fix the problems, I can only find them, review them, and then pass them on to a superior, which in this case will be Lykaon, who is now my departnt head, and so he’ll get the credit for all my work.
’This is so boring’ It’s a relatively simple job in a way, but it requires extre attention to detail, design, and errors. Any mistake can get in trouble.
Especially if my boss notices that I made a mistake before sothing actually goes wrong, and any complaints I receive will go straight to Arthur.
I just keep working with maximum focus. In 1 hour, I’ll have to deliver the results to Lykaon.
