Patra's rule has always been simple: the client relationship comes first, and whatever happens after hours stays exactly where it happened. Osaka was supposed to be easy - five days, one telecom account, and a city she's always loved for exactly the reason Tokyo people warn you about: it doesn't take itself too seriously. Then there's Ashish - a stranger from the hotel gym, uncomplicated in all the right ways, exactly the kind of distraction Patra usually knows how to keep in its lane.
And there's Shinya - her actual client, gentle in a way none of the men in her life have bothered to be, and the first person in longer than she can admit who's made her forget to keep her guard up. One of them is easy. One of them isn't. Patra's about to find out which is which - whether she's ready to or not.
