Her body was all sore and aching, the room she resided in smelt musky yet sweet. Y/N blinked her eyes a few times, the light from the frosty window blinding her. She stared at the ceiling for a good couple of seconds before she sat up abruptly. Yesterday's activity was flashing back in her mind as her eyes scanned the room that had condoms littered everywhere.

DID I FUCKING FUCK MY FUCKING BOSS?!

Her heart raced as it throbbed from overthinking. She got up, legs still slightly wobbly before she went to pick up every single condom that was dispersed on the floor. It made a pile in the trashbin and she sighed at herself. Y/N did not expect herself to be... like that. Her job, life, and image were at stake. A soft knock sounded and she scurried to put on a bathrobe that hung in the closet.

"Y-Yes?"

"Ah, I see. Ms. L/N, are you feeling better?"

It was Daisuke. His husky low voice was sending chills down her spine but the effect wasn't as bad as yesterday. Only the memory of his groans sounding in her right ear made her shiver.

"Y-Yes, I am. Sir..."

When the door opened and she made eye contact, she went down on her knees with her head on the floor.

"I-I apologize for whatever I d-did yesterday!"

Silence. Silence was all she got before a loud sigh.

"Get up. It's fine, really. Don't blame yourself for it because it's part of the Omega system. There is something I'd like to discuss with you. And if you could, please change into these clothes and meet me at my office down the hall."

Does he have an office in his own house?

Her legs had the bare strength to lift her up again. She looked down and bowed at him, taking the clothes in his hands before he turned to leave. 

I'm going to get fired.

Y/N spread the clothing out, a simple dress that looked a tad bit too fancy for her status. Well, it was Kanbe Daisuke for a reason. She put it on, washed up, and left the room. Her feet brought her down the hall and she faced a rather large wooden door with gold ornaments.

Yep, definitely his office.

Her shaky hands knocked on the door softly and a nearly inaudible 'come in' came from within. She opened the door, head still down, as she walked towards his desk.

"Ms. L/N heads up. Or... should I say, Y/N?"

HE'S GOING TO FIRE ME. NO MORE MONEY, CAN'T PAY DEBTS.

"Y-Y-Yes, sir."

Her head slowly moved up, jaw trembling as her eyes made contact with his orbs.

"First... Don't you worry. I'm not firing you."

"Y-You aren't?"

"Why should I? You've been doing a great job."

"Because..."

"As I said, don't blame yourself for it. It's good that I did not mark you because then it would have been a different story."

"Y-You didn't mark me?"

She felt the collar on her neck, seemingly tighter than when she had put it on.

"Yes. It is against my values to mark an Omega without her conscious consent. Sex was another thing."

S-Sex? How can he s-say it so n-nonchalantly?!

"I have serious things to discuss. Things to do with yesterday."

"Y-Yes, sir."

Daisuke pulls out several documents before pointing to the seat in front of him.

"Sit down there."

Y/N hurriedly moved and plopped herself down. He gave her the documents to her and her eyes skimmed through the content. Her fingers that held the papers were starting to shake.

"S-So you're telling me-"

"Exactly as you see on the paper. Someone had drugged your cup of water. Do you remember anyone that could have done so?"

...

"Katarina."

"Ugh. That bitch. Oh- sorry for my language. We just need to find evidence that she did it OR is intentionally harming you."

"D-"

"Yes, I want to get rid of her if possible."

"Wh-"

"Haru? He's under my watch. Another attack on an employee, I will fire him because it's physical evidence. Acting like a Beta when he's an Alpha... our company has to be careful of these types."

How is he reading my mind?

"Your face is very easy to read."

?!

Her eyes were trembling, the information was quite a lot to take in. A high pitched cling sounded, catching her attention. Daisuke had placed a white mug with a golden rim in front of her.

"This. Use this in the office and remember to keep it in your drawer. We don't want you getting drugged again."

"I-Thank you, sir..."

"Please don't be too hard on yourself."

"I deeply am sorry for what I did to you."

"Then... are you willing to be my mate? My romantic partner?"

"H-Huh?"

"I'm not going to force myself on you. I want you and I made it quite clear from the beginning. But, I will only accept it if our feelings are mutual. Romantic feelings, to be exact."

"I..."

Her fingers felt the smooth cup, thinking deeply about her decision. The time she spent with Daisuke, she indeed felt a connection to the 'gentleman' Alpha. But, she still had things on her mind and dating right now would be a slight overload.

"Take your time. You don't need to answer right now, but just so you know, I do have romantic feelings for you and it has nothing to do with you being an Omega."

"T-Thank you... Mr. Kanbe. I..."

In fact, I do love you...

"Don't worry. We should get back to work."

His heart clenched as his mind kept telling himself it was the wrong time to confess especially after what had just happened. He stood up and was heading to the door, which she followed, but she grabbed onto his sleeve and looked down at the cup in her hand. Daisuke's cold eyes that had a tinge of warmth, peered down at the smaller being.

"I... I-I do like you t-too, in a romantic way but..."

His heart was beating faster and faster, blood rushing up to his ears, only focusing on her tiny voice that spoke.

"L-Let's only be together once I pay off my debt. I want to... I want to date when I have no worries."

"I can just p-"

"No! Ah, I'm sorry Mr. Kanbe. I just want to pay it off by myself. In a way, it's to prove that I'm not a weak Omega that depends on a wealthy Alpha... even though you're technically giving me the money. BUT! It's due to exchange. I do the work, I get the money, I pay back."

"Sure. I'll be waiting, Y/N."

He crotched down to where her face was, a hand cupping her cheek to bring her up to face him. Their lips connected, a sweet kiss that was so innocent for the two adults that had just committed indecency. It was short but memorable.

"And~ Call me Daisuke while we're alone. Alright? Only after we're together, I'll let you call me something else~"

"O-Okay... D-Daisuke."

He chuckles and takes her spare hand, walking out of his mansion into his car, hand in hand. Of course, it was time for work and he was not the type to do anything that will tarnish his business. 

"Y/N?"

"Yes!"

She squeaked since she was deep in thought.

"Run up to the office and drop your cup. I'll wait for you downstairs because we have a meeting to attend and it's in a restaurant nearby."

"O-Okay."

Daisuke was finding the new fond expressions this Omega had. She was different from others and it ignited a spark in his mundane life—no doubt he loves her and is willing to wait for her to run into his arms when she's comfortable.
