Reiji heads to a surprise inspection of a hotel he owns. Although he shows no mercy when firing his employees on the spot, for some reason he cannot fire Misaki, who offers him her unwanted opinions.

In order to get information about Misaki, Reiji talks to Miura, an employee of the company. After receiving some information from Miura, Reiji balks and plans to give up on Misaki.

Reiji mistakenly believes that he and Misaki are in a relationship. Hearing this, Maiko, his secretary, tells him what love is, and he decides to confess his feelings to Misaki.

Reiji approaches Misaki using the love strategies taught to him by Wada. Receiving a positive reaction from Misaki, Reiji plans to go on a trip with her under the guise of researching chefs for a restaurant at a new hotel.

Reiji is perplexed by Misaki's attitude, and asks for advice from Wada about the current situation. Meanwhile, Reiji's driver, Ishigami, is getting married, and Reiji throws a party in order to improve his image.

Reiji finally starts dating Misaki, but they make a promise to keep their public and private lives separate and not to disclose their relationship. However, something happens that makes Reiji want to break that promise.
