[CH.26] The boss who was teased by her childhood friend (Part 3)
"Manager, Hanamura-kun! How did it go?"
"Welcome back... We were worried because it got late."
As soon as we returned to the office, we were bombarded with questions from Nishina-san and Kuhou-san.
Both of them had tried to call us, and I think we really made them worry.
"Yeah, we managed to resolve it. We both compromised, and we're going to move forward with a good relationship from now on."
"That's a relief... It seems like the project the manager worked so hard on won't go in a bad direction either."
It turned out that the trouble was due to factors at the client's end, and thanks to the manager's skillful handling, we were able to maintain a positive relationship with both the client and ourselves. The manager is truly amazing.
"Well... both of you, sorry for making you worry."
"Watch out!"
Suddenly, the manager seemed to collapse, so I hurriedly caught her and lifted her up.
I held the manager's palm and slowly lifted her.
She's so light! She's been acting so strong with such a small body.
I'm really glad I was the one driving today.
As I touched the manager's small hand, I realized that she had been handling big responsibilities with this small body.
I had thought of her as having a big back until just now... but she's so small.
I heard that she handled all the projects in this area by herself until Hamayama Sales Office was established.
She's truly an amazing person.
"Um... I'd be happy if you could let go now."
The manager, her face slightly reddened, looked at me.
"Huh... Is your face not turning red? Could it be a health issue!?"
"That's beside the point! You're quite clueless, aren't you!"
Wait, does that mean I'm being disliked just like her childhood friend? I thought I was finally making an effort as a member of this group!
"I... I'll do my best to make you fond of me, Manager!"
"Geez... You're surprisingly good at attracting older women. Well, I don't really mind, so do your best."
"I will!"
It's already past 6 PM.
For Hamayama Sales Office, which has a policy of no overtime, it's too late.
"Hanamura-kun."
"Yes?"
"You really helped me today. Thank you. If I ever feel like venting again, please listen."
"I understand. If you're okay with me, I'll always lend you a shoulder to lean on!"
"Yeah, I'm counting on it."
The manager, smiling like that, was incredibly beautiful.
I couldn't help but be captivated, and my face turned red.
I can't help but think, just a little... if only the manager had been my childhood friend.
I envied the manager's childhood friend, and I couldn't help but think he was a fool.
Letting go of such an amazing person is unthinkable!
"Now then! it's the end of the working hours!"
Today, I felt like I could work even harder if she were my boss.
