"I think these pictures will look better if he had a female partner.."

"But we didn't invite any female heroes, and all the workers on set now are male."

That was one everyone turned their heads to look at Niko, one of the few females on the set. Shoto who was confused followed their gaze and found that they were looking at Niko.

"Well, Hitori-san will I have the honour to be your partner for the photoshoot today?" Shoto asked as he crossed his arms and gave her a smirk.

Well there was nothing Niko could do since everyone had already in a way 'voted' for her to be Shoto's partner.

"Fine.." Niko said as she gave her bottle to Kaito and walked to the dressing room with the clothes her staff passed to her the one which was supposed to be modelled by a female hero which was not decided.

'I did not plan for this to be a double photoshoot...' Niko thought as she changed into the clothes. The clothes that were given to her was very similar to that of Shoto's this was mainly because the customers the store was targeting was the couples.

When Niko walked out of the dressing room everyone turned their heads towards her. None of them would have imagined that they could see their higher up wearing casual clothes. It would be a lie if they said that Niko didn't rock that outfit.

"All right let's continue with the photoshoot," the photographer said and motioned Niko to stand beside Shoto.

"Good work everyone," Niko said clapping and half a second later the room was engulfed with the sound of claps.

"We'll send the photos over to the media department as soon as we finish edit it," The assistant photographer said before bowing and leaving with the head photographer and the rest of the team.

"Niko, are you up for some ramen?" Todoroki asked as soon as majority of the people in the room left.

Before replying Niko checked her watch and glanced at Kaito asking if she had anything planned. Kaito shook his head as signalling that she had nothing planned that afternoon and Niko nodded her head reply.

"Sure why not I have nothing going on in the afternoon anyways."

"Okay I'll meet you at the entrance of the company," Todoroki said before walking off to the dressing room to get changed.

After about 10 minutes the pair met up and started their walk towards the ramen place nearby. As they were walking they were able to talk a little about their work lives and Shoto mentioned something that was shocking.

"I'll be transferred to the hero department in America in about one month. I am only telling you this because I hope that you will be able to follow me to America. But I totally understand if you do not wish to."

"I.... I need more time to think about it. But I promise I'll think about it," Niko replied giving him a faint smile.

After Todoroki mentioned that, the walk towards the ramen place became so quiet that if someone were to drop a pin on a floor it would be heard crystal clear.

As they were walking towards the ramen place Niko was thinking about what she should do, should she follow Todoroki to America or should she stay in Japan. She was still unsure about her feelings, her time with Todoroki was so limited that she didn't have enough time with Todoroki to confirm if what she was feeling her true feelings or was it a momentary feeling.

"Do I still love him or not...." My heart was so messed up. I didn't know if the choice that I make will be benefit the majority of the people around us or would it just benefit us.

"Niko?"

"Huh? Yes?"

"We're here. If you're still thinking about what I told you, I want to you know I will wait for your response until the last minute and that I won't leave without getting your response. Although I really do hope that you're willing to follow me to America."

I didn't reply mainly because I didn't know how to and partially because I didn't want him to get his hopes out only for me to crumble it at the last minute. We took a seat in the ramen place and started to eat our ramen before returning to work.

Before Todoroki left back to his agency I called him back to give him his car keys.

"Don't forget your car," I said as I gave him his keys.

"Thank you. Will you be okay if I come by to eat lunch with you everyday?"

"I don't mind but just inform me beforehand. Perhaps drop me text because I might not be in the main office all the time."

Shoto nodded in reply as he waved goodbye and walked to the carpark to get his car and I walked back into the main office to finish all the paperwork I had left.

"Hitori-san while you were gone I went down to check the branch company and the ratings were all nothing but truths. The manager is biased and only tends to those customers she perceives as rich and will leave those she deems as average to shop by themselves and will often give remarks that leave the customers feeling offended."

"Ito-san and Hara-san also sent the documents you wanted over during your absence," Kaito said as he passed me the documents as I sat down on my chair.

"Immediately fire the manager and look for a replacement. We do not need people who act like this in our company and launch a warning to all the stores that if history were to repeat itself there will be serious consequences." Kaito nodded and left to pass my message.

I pinched my nose bridge thinking, "It's going to be a long day...."

I suppose I was right about that because not long after Kaito left he came running back and bursting through my office doors.

"Hitori-san!"

"What is it now?"

"One of our project ideas has been leaked to the rival company and the sponsors are demanding an answer or for one of the companies to change their project."

"When is the due date?"

"2 days later...."

"You have got to be kidding me....."

"Inform all the departments that we will be working overtime," Kaito nodded and ran out of the office to pass my message.

"If I leave now the company is going to be a mess...." I thought pinching my nose bridge again.
