Haruka acts like things are normal when he approaches her from the back. The entire staff had surrounded her and were praising her. However, his heart felt heavy.
"Haruka!!" Lila beamed happily as she left the crowd, "Wahhh, I did it."
Geez, "What an idiotic face," he mumbled, "If I knew the results would be that good, we would have gone with that song as the title track from the start." It was an obvious lie of course. Why would he want to use a song that expressed Lila's feelings for another man as the title song.
"Thanks."
"Just thank you? Where is my hug."
Lila laughed, "Oh silly," she bent forward and their lips met each others. His eyes widened, "Rather than a hug, a kiss is better?"
Really, what an idiot. He doesn't understand why she is like this. It's so obvious that even now there is another man in her heart, so how come? How come she can smile so brightly at him like this?

"So, I'll be frank with you," Soichiro sighed, "That woman intends to expose this company as a fraud. They have the evidence and man power to do it too."
Haruka's gaze dimmed.
"Haruka, since that place is associated with you, the media will talk. I'll make the arrangements, to send Lila back to high seeds records or Star company. It's your choice to come with her."
"My choice?"
"Yes," Soichiro trailed off, "I'm sure you understand that if she returns to that place. You will be excluded from the staff list. All the members of staff will be part of those two companies. The reason why you could be her manager despite working under another company is because I allowed it. But, I doubt you can convince the President of Star and High Seeds records to do the same."
"..."
"You've been excluded from the staff, do you think Lila would just idly transfer with that in mind?"
"She…"
Soichiro sighed, "I'm sure you understand this better than anybody. But that girl will follow you wherever you go, even if you fall into hel--," his sentence fell short when they hear the sound of rushing footsteps, "She's already here."
Indeed the doors burst open revealing black hair, "I'm staying with Haruka, I don't care what any of you think. If Star records and High seeds records doesn't want to accept Haruka then we will be independent."
This girl is really an idiot, why is she willing to sacrifice so much for his sake?
"I figured you'd say that. Go meet Austin Kiryu in Star company, he's waiting for you."
Lila nodded and grabbed a hold of her hand. On their way down, Haruka noticed that all the employees were looking at Lila. However they weren't looking at her with respect, all of them had a malicious look in their eyes. Could it be that the entire time he thought they treated her well here…
"Ssh," Lila smiled at him, "Don't say anything."
"...Are you sure?"
Lila nodded, "Yes, it's okay. Even if this didn't happen, I would have left eventually because of this, anyway."
...
Star Company
The last thing Haruka expected was for Lila to slap Austin Kiryu, "If you, if you knew about this why didn't you tell me?!!"
Austin Kiryu however remained as calm as ever, "If I told you, you'd react this way and do something stupid."
"Even if that's the case, if you told me beforehand I could have helped."
"I'll return to High seeds records," Lila said, "If it's convincing the president, it's easy for me. I don't want to trouble you, or senpai's father..If I stay here, there will be rumors," Lila looked over at him, "Haruka, could you quit?"
"Quit?"
"Ah-huh, I can convince Arata-san to let you in. But eventually you'll have to quit your company. I don't know what kind of agreement you made with them, but I'll help you get out of it."
To quit..what agreement he made? 'Don't harm Terashima Lila.' Indeed, no matter how far Zane has gone with his experiments, he's never harmed Lila. Sure he sent people after her, but even those people weren't seriously intending to harm her. He even stopped that group the church of survivors from getting close to her.
"Haruka?" Lila called out.
What can he say? He can't exactly quit. The moment he does then Lila would be in danger.
Kiryu quickly interjected, "This is the plan from both companies. I know you decided on high seeds records, but you can have a look at it too."
Lila however only nodded and tugged on his hand, "Haruka? Should we...go back home?"
"No," Haruka shook his head, "Just a bit light headed. Let's read the documents first."
"Okay."
Lila seemed reluctant, the stupid girl must have realized that something was wrong. Haruka however didn't want to worry her too much and the two of them sat down on the couch, "Lila's staff is completely replaced?"
"Have problems with it?"
"I hired a capable team for her, and they've gotten used to her work load and how she likes things. Isn't it possible to keep it?" Haruka asked. The team he hired for Lila are the best of the best from all over the world. Being replaced like this may upset them.
"And your thoughts?"
Lila nodded, "Ah-huh, I'd also like them to stay."
"I understand, with your current rise you'll need more staff anyway. So having two teams following you around won't be a problem," Kiryu writes that down, "I'll be blunt, if this revival plan fails. Neither companies will keep you."
Lila smiled, "It just be hard for both Presidents to make that decision. Did you speak with them? Only you'd be so harsh with me Kiryu. Uncle Ichinose and Uncle Arata dot on me too much."
"Perhaps I'm bitter and hold a secret grudge."
'He's probably bitter,' Haruka thought. Austin Kiryu isn't the grudge type. As harsh as this deal may seem, it is good for Lila. People can't criticize her either.
"Whose the
"Me."
Haruka frowned but Lila interjected, "Haruka too."
"You want us to work together?"
"Well, you two do know me the best."
At that comment Harika couldn't contain his jealousy and wrapped his arms around his wife. Lila simply rolled her eyes but leaned into his hold as she continued, "I want to make a grand come back properly. With the way things are now, people will just throw mud at me and not bother giving me a chance at all."
"That's true," Kiryu agreed, "I don't mind working with you again Karashima."
'Working with you again my ass,' Haruka cursed. This guy irritates him so much. But, he makes a point. Rather than him alone, if he is on the team, Lila can plan a successful comeback solo live. Haruka sighed, "Alright, give me the contract. I'll do something about my company too," he mumbled. Although he doesn't know exactly what to do just yet.
"Haruka, your going to sign now?"
"You do it too, you never know what will happen overnight," Haruka told her. Knowing Sophia she would most likely release the news tomorrow, so it would be better to act quickly than late.
"Okay then," Lila immediately followed his lead, "I do have a question though Kiryu, could you answer me honestly?"
"Yeah."
"The deal you made with Rosalia included having sex with her right? That's why you were in the hotel."
Haruka felt uncomfortable, should he really be here to listen to this? It's their business after all.
"Mm, right."
"You didn't accept?"
"Instead of dealing with that crazy woman, I have my own means to protect you."
"Your own means?"
"Don't worry about it, just concentrate on singing."
Other means, 'So he can go against Rosalia?' such a thought never crossed Haruka's mind at all. Crossing Rosalia, or Sophia or Zane. He's used to being powerless and following people orders. He's lived so many years like that..
His thoughts broke off when they hear a knock on the door, "Kiryu-sama, somebody is here to see you."
"Got it," Kiryu quickly got up, "You two read the other things in the packets. I'll come back," with those words said Kiryu swiftly left. No sooner had Austin Kiryu leave did Lila position herself on his lap. She ran her gentle and pretty hands across his cheeks.
"Hubby, what's wrong?"
This was the first time she called him hubby, and he knew that she felt embarrassed. "I miss my wife's kisses."
Lila blushed and hits him, "Be serious, I'm very worried about you. Are you really fine?"
"It's not going to be easy for me to leave."
"Um, did you like trade your soul away or something?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
"Something more important."
Lila must have understood since she wrapped her arms around his neck, "I'll be fine, don't protect me."
"I can't, they'll come after you again."
"Haruka."
"Your safety is more important. I know you can handle yourself. But what if they attack during a live? The Austin family and your households defences are great and all. But…"
Lila's lips brushed against his, and Haruka's eyes widened. She's such a silly girl, but for two of them this is already normal.
….
Haruka gently caressed Lila's hair, 'She's so stupid,' Haruka thought. Or maybe she really does just like him a lot. Still, he doesn't want her to think that she needs to do this to cheer him up. "Lila, just staying by my side is enough for me," Haruka mumbled. It really was enough.
Even if the two of them weren't dating each other, as long as she stayed by him then it doesn't matter. His thoughts broke off when she stirred awake.
"Your not smoking?"
Haruka smiled, "There's a no smoking sign."
"Silly," Lila reached over and caressed his cheeks, "I seduced you today, but your not complimenting me?"
"My wife your amazing, seduce me again."
"Haruka, I want you to understand how serious I am about you. I know that it's stupid saying things like, we can get through everything as long as we are together but…"
