Kyoya quietly worked as Mei looked at him with worry. She if she had to choose between him of yesterday evening or now, she'd prefer the him of yesterday. Kyoya looked as if he'd snap at the slightest breath from someone.

"Mei." Kyoya called out without looking at her.

"Yes, Mr. Ootori?" she asked, being more formal than usual.

"See to it that a desk and chair are set up by that far wall over there. Don't buy anything exquisite. Just enough." said Kyoya as he got a feeling Senku would be a pain in the ass.

"Right... How tall are they? Male or female?" she asked as she started looking for desks online.

"Male. I don't know his height. It's the man you met before. The leek." said Kyoya.

"Ah, okay. Is he replacing me or...?" she asked worriedly.

"No. He's going to need a place to sit, that's all. Your job is fine, Mei." Kyoya said, trying to ease her worries.

Her phone started to ring and she quickly answered it. Kyoya looked up and saw her horrified expression.

"Sir, some of the staff on the second floor are complaining... something about a visitor being treated as staff..." she said, unsure of what was going on.

"That asshole..." Kyoya fumed as he quickly left his seat to deal with the problem.

Mei hurried after him then took the elevator downstairs. Did he know what the cause was? They exited the elevator and Kyoya had hurried on ahead.

"Ishigami!" Kyoya shouted, gaining everyone's attention.

Senku opened one eye as he sat comfortably on a bookshelf, holding a cup of water.

"Yo, Ootori. Might want to consider getting fresh water." responded Senku as he dumped the water onto the floor.

Kyoya's eye twitched. Senku watched in amusement as an angry Kyoya stomped over to him.

"I'm going to revoke your rights." Kyoya threatened.

"And I'll make sure the press gets every detail." said Senku with a smug look.

"My office. Now." said Kyoya as he seized Senku by the wrist.

Senku frowned as he couldn't pull away. Mei looked at the staff and gestured for them to keep working and for someone to clean up the water spill. Was this the same guy her boss happily talked to on that day? They were like water and water then, but now it was oil and water. She hurried after them as the elevator doors started to close.

"You got down pretty quick. Did you fly?" Senku joked.

Kyoya remained unresponsive. He was tired. It had only been a few days since their argument and exchange, but Senku was already causing trouble in his company. The doors opened and Kyoya harshly dragged him along.

"I get it, you're mad. You're cutting off my circulation." Senku complained as he could feel his hand going numb.

"Should've thought of that before you decided to wreck havoc in my company." Kyoya said as he tossed him into his office.

Mei closed the door behind them and wondered if she was allowed to stay and observe them. She sat at her desk as they bickered back and forth.

"Look, I won't tolerate you harassing my employees. If I catch wind of you harassing anyone, and I mean ANYONE, even Mei, you're as good as dead." Kyoya snapped as he sat in his seat.

"Then sign this agreement." Senku said as he held out a piece of paper.

Kyoya snatched it from him and read it over. He made a few marks then signed it.

"I can't believe you thought you could gaslight me. Mei, could you leave the room and make sure no one comes in?" Kyoya said as he didn't want her to know.

"Right away." she said then hurried out.

"Haven't told her huh?" Senku said with a knowing smirk.

"A thousand a month was what we originally agreed to yet you had the nerve to make it two thousand. You fucking snake." Kyoya seethed before ultimately crumpling it and stuffing it in his jacket. "I'll type up a new one, so sit here and watch."

Senku sucked his teeth as he had only signed it for show. He quietly watched as Kyoya got to work. It surprised him how he managed to retype everything word for word. Just how big was his brain capacity? A part of him wanted to challenge him in a battle of wits one day.

"There. The printer's over there." said Kyoya as he clicked print.

Senku frowned as he didn't like being a fetch it boy. Despite that, he still brought it over. Kyoya signed it for real then handed it to Senku.

"Thank very kindly rich boy." said Senku.

"Now leave. I don't want to see you here until collection day." Kyoya said as he waved him away.

"I'm staying for the day." said Senku then cleared a spot on his desk. "You should really consider getting me a desk or else I'll keep doing this."

"I'm way ahead of you. Don't you have a job? Shouldn't you be working?" asked Kyoya as Senku's presence was distracting.

"I told you I was going to quit. I have a whooping half million in my bank account. I can live comfortably in my apartment for years with my current lifestyle. Plus I'm getting a thousand each month, which makes twelve thousand a year." explained Senku then looked at Kyoya who was glaring at him. "You won't get rid of me that easy."

"I've been cursed. It must be because I refuse to date like my brother wants me to." Kyoya said as he held his head. "Maybe I should just pick someone at random and hopefully you'll go away."

"Haha, good luck with that one, filthy rich." Senku sneered before heading over to the door. "You can come back in, Mei."

Mei entered the room then sat in her seat. Suddenly they were less hostile towards each other. What had occurred between them behind closed doors?

"Mr. Ishigami, do you mind tell me your height?" she asked.

"5'7. What's it for?" he asked as he made his way over to her desk.

Kyoya took out his phone and went to his contacts. He hesitated then ultimately gave up trying to contact him. He didn't want him in his business any more than he already was. The double doors opened and Kyoya instantly froze.

"Kyoya, my darling little brother~" the person said as they made their way over to Kyoya, ignoring the others present.

Senku had always seen him in ads, magazines, talk shows, almost everywhere. Ootori Akito, Japan's number one business man and the second handsomest face. He clearly remembered the special live footage of Akito being bestowed with the Ootori company from their father. He was that much more dazzling in person.

"You came unannounced..." muttered Kyoya as he was involuntarily hugged.

"Do I really need to make an appointment to see my own brother? How crude." complained Akito.

"I'm busy, please leave." said Kyoya.

"Omo- who is this?" Akito asked, looking directly at Senku. "You... reek."

Mei and Kyoya kept silent. They knew how Akito got when he considered something disgusting.

"Excuse me? I took a shower this morning AND I had a mint a while ago. Maybe you're smelling yourself, asshole." Senku said in annoyance.

"Hm, you got serious balls. Tell me, what's you name?" Akito asked with a smile, evil intentions hidden behind it.

"Akito, it's about time you left, isn't it? I'm pretty sure I heard you had an important business dinner tonight." said Kyoya as he stacked his papers.

"Ah, you're right. Next time I'll get your name. Bye Kyo~!" Akito said before leaving.

Mei looked at Senku with a worried look.

"Don't let him find out your name! Once he does you'll be forced to live in isolation!" said Mei worriedly. "Just apologize a lot when he comes again."

"You make it seem like he's some devil." said Senku with a shrug.

Kyoya snickered, gaining Senku's attention. Kyoya cleared his throat and kept working.

"What's so funny, Ootori?" Senku asked as he sauntered over.

"You. You really don't know Ootori Akito do you?" Kyoya said with an amused smile on his face.

"I only know as much as the masses. Not like I'm related to him like you." said Senku with a roll of his eyes.

"Mei's one of the masses, but she knows. When Akito wants something and sets his eyes on it..." said Kyoya as his face turned serious. "He won't stop at anything until only the bone is left."

"Is that supposed to scare me? Please." Senku said with a shrug. "You Ootoris are full of hot air."

"Why don't we make a bet? If you can survive a day without running to me for help, I'll up your monthly pay by a thousand. If you fail, I get to scrap the current agreement and write a new one to my liking." Kyoya said lowly so Mei couldn't hear.

"I'll take you on. The only thing to fear is fear." he replied with confidence.

Kyoya chuckled at his foolishness. Not even he himself ever escaped Akito's clutches.
