"Would you go out with me?" The boss I idolize suddenly asked me out?! I'm so happy... But also not... I mean, he only really knows my at-the-office persona, right? -- The words that haunt her came from the boy she liked in high school. "There's something different about you." Now unable to show her true self in front of anyone she has feelings for, Aya is suddenly asked out by the boss she both loves and respects - her manager, Soichiro Mishima. Fearing that he too will be disappointed if he sees her true self, she is unsure how to handle things. But, while Aya is still spinning her wheels, Mr. Mishima proposes letting him make a few "inappropriate advances" under the pretext of her getting to know him better.
