From betrotheds to lovers

Chapter 2

(A/N Notes: As I said here's the double release for this story)

2 years ago

Masahiko was inside Ryousuke's office, his father, as he had been called there to talk about his future with his father

"Masahiko, today I want you to start deciding on what you for your future"

"Hmmm, Is that so?"

Masahiko answered his father with a very uninterested and rather annoying tone, that his father ignored

"I can see you're veeeeery interested, but I want you to take this seriously, because it'll decide your future, and I want you to have a good future, especially when you're the heir"

"I get it, I get it. Can we get done with this already?"

"... *Sigh* Then I will give you a few options"

Ryousuke pushed a stack of papers stapled together on his desk towards Masahiko, which he picked up as he understood that's what his father wanted him to do

"For your first option, is for you to choose a specialization or apprenticeship course that captures your interest, with various places that provide such courses list on those papers, I recommend you taking the entrepreneurship or financing courses, as those will help you on taking care of the company"

"Huh..."

Masahiko simply looked at the pages without even bothering to read or think about his father's suggestion. Then Ryousuke handed another stack of paper, this time they weren't stapled, to Masahiko, which he immediately picked as he wasn't interested in putting effort into doing any course, as he wanted to only have it easy with his life by spending all the money that he could without a single care

"Your second option, is for you to choose a fiancée between these possible candidates, and I will say this upfront, I do not recommend you doing this now, I'm only giving you the option if you also want to help the family in forging a long-lasting relationship with another family, so if you choose this option, I please ask you to do something about your "womanizing" attitude..."

Ryousuke's words entered and left Masahiko's ears as he didn't pay single drop of attention to Ryousuke's words that came after he had said for him to choose a fiancée. Since Masahiko wasn't intent on even doing the basic chores for himself, he thought that picking a girl there to do all of his obligations for him would be the best option for him

"... ... ..."

He looked at the candidates, and he hated all of them, one had a sickly body so he would always need to take care of her, which he didn't want to put the effort into. The other had an annoying personality that would nag at him for doing nothing all day and was very short as well. Another one had the skills for doing most of his needs, but also had the personality of someone who would always complain about him doing nothing while she needs to do everything, including his job of managing the family company. Then he reached the last candidate

Her face was pretty albeit she appeared to be expressionless as well, her personality appeared to be tame in comparison to the other candidates, and the more attractive to him was that she appeared to be easily fooled, meaning that he could go out with other girls and just make some excuse to her

With all that in mind, Masahiko made his decision

"I'll go with this one"

"Let me see... Kogane Sakurako?... Are you sure about that? Don't you want to do a course instead of getting engaged"

"Yes, I am. She looks to be pretty easy to foo-...Ooforming a relationship with"

"... *Sigh* Very well, I will respect your choice. Then you're free to go"
