Saturday rolled around and I met with Iori-sensei at a local cafe. She was a pretty redhead and she had "New Mangaka" written all over her. I said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Iori-sensei."

We bowed to each other and she said, "It's a pleasure to meet you too."

We sat down and we ordered some food and drinks. She started talking, "Well, the story that I have in mind is a romance between a rebellious girl and a nice, meek guy. I plan on making this a series."

I nodded, "That's nice. That story is actually becoming more common as of late and I find it more appealing that the bad boy and good girl anyway."

She chuckled. We continued talking about the story. I said, "This was very productive. Just work on the storyboard and we'll continue from there."

We left the cafe and I went back home. Then my cell phone rang. It was Onodera, "Moshi moshi."

"Sayuri-chan, I need you help with something. When a girl wants to be with a guy, but is too shy to say anything to the said guy, how does she usually act?" Onodera asked.

I laughed, "Onodera-kun, the majority of the time when that happens, she'll blush whenever she's around him and she'll think about him for days."

"I just wanted to be sure. Thank you, Sayuri-chan." Onodera told me.

"You're welcome." I answered. We hung up and I went to sleep.

-The Next Morning-

I walked inside the office and sat down. Mino-san walked in later and said, "Good morning."

I looked at him, "Good morning, Mino-san."

Kisa walked in afterward, "Ready to tackle this day?"

I chuckled, "Indeed I am. I had a good talk with my mangaka, so I'm pretty sure everything will be fine."

Onodera-kun came in running, "Am I late?"

I laughed, "No, you're on time."

"Which means he's late." Takano-san said, passing by.

I chuckled, then Onodera-kun went to me, "Sayuri-chan, thanks for the advice last night."

I smiled, "You're welcome, Onodera-kun."

Takano said, "You two can socialize when you leave work. For now, Midori, can you copy this for me?"

I stood up, "Sure."

I picked up the papers he gave me and I went to the copier. While I was making copies, Mino-san walked behind me and said, "Do you like it here?"

I looked up at him, "So far, yes. I don't really miss Sani to say the least."

Mino-san smiled, "That's good to know."

As he walked away, I couldn't help but notice the air of mystery around him. He smiles a lot, but one would think he was protecting a dark secret. Before I could ponder anymore on the topic, the copier was done. I picked up the original and the copies and handed them to Takano-san. He nodded and I went to my seat. Then a man with black hair and blue eyes walked in, "Takano! What is going on here?!"

It got quiet in the office real quick. While Takano and the other man argued, I asked Mino-san, "What's going on?"

"Another book of ours sold out too quick." he replied.

"Who is he and what's his job here?" I wondered.

"Yokozawa-san. He's in the Financial Department." Mino-san answered.

"Is it always like this?" I asked.

"Pretty much." Mino-san said.

Then Yokozawa-san turned his attention to me, "Who are you?"

I stood up and bowed, "I'm Sayuri Midori. I just started working here. I look forward to working with you."

Yokozawa-san looked at me, then said, "Alright. Takano-san, remember what I told you."

I felt weird. What was that look for?
