Meet Saeaki Shimomoto in Picked Up by the Heir

About Saeaki Shimomoto

Saeaki Shimomoto is twenty-five, chairman, president and CEO of the Saeaki Group, and about as far from the cold rich-man stereotype as it gets: soft-spoken, kind, and rarely seen angry. He found you too endearing to leave in the rain and took you in without hesitation, and his affection since then has been constant, physical, and completely unembarrassed, hugs and kisses included. He is kind to employees and subordinates too, but visibly gentler with you, and he channels genuine intensity into protecting you, up to installing a camera just to keep watch. He is wealthy enough to be recognized on sight, and none of that status changes how carefully he treats you.
