segregating the paperworks.

answering phone calls almost every hour.

rescheduling the boss' meetings outside of the company.

making sure that appointments were up-to-date and the boss is well-aware of it.

it all may seem like a piece of cake to do but believe me, it's onerous. who would've thought that a college undergraduate like me could actually work in such a large company like kokonoi's enterprise right? though it isn't some sort of a normal company since it's also handled by the worst criminal organization — bonten.

i can't say anything about how the business flows when i'm out of that firm because if i utter such forbidden words that has something to do with bonten then i'm a dead meat.

how did i end up being a secretary of one the bonten executive?

2 years ago, my mother died. she's the only parent, me and my little sister had. we're not really that wealthy but she strived very hard just to be the best mother we could ever ask for. she had given us her all just to provide us shelter, food, education and to see our happy faces.

long story short, i was a 3rd year college student under a business management course when my mother fell ill. turns out she has stage 4 lung cancer but she never said anything about it to us. it nearly drove me insane when she died. we had no one and the only money we had back then was the money she left for us, which isn't enough to provide us for 6 months.

life was too handful that i needed to drop out of school and find a job that could provide my sister, fumiko and i. luckily, our grandparents in mother's side reached out and offered to help fumiko to provide for her education so she's able to go back to school and also, let us stay in their place. i was hesitant at first because we don't want to be a burden to them since they're already in their old age but they insisted.

i am really grateful for them so in return for my gratitude, i took some part-time jobs around our city for a year after my mother died until a friend of mine told me that there's this certain company who's looking for a secretary. of course being a person who always grab whichever opportunities that comes for me, i applied for it.

"fuck, where the hell is my lipstick?! fumiko, i told you to ask permission first before you borrow it!" i bursted out as i continued to search for my red lipstick in my make-up kit and an irk forming on my forehead.

i'm already nervous for my job interview and now, i'm running late because fumiko was too fucking stupid to turned off the alarm without waiting for me to wake up from it. what was her reasoning?

"who would have job interview in a fucking sunday morning?"

to tell you, i almost push her out of the veranda but she's lucky that her big sis loves her even if she's too stupid to comprehend things.

"here!"

i quickly snatched it away from her and applied it infront of our shared mirror.

"woah, i just realized you look pretty with that dress. are you sure you're just going to a job interview?" fumiko joked and i just playfully rolled my eyes at her.

"the email told me to wear formal clothing that's why i chose this. actually, i never really thought that they would email me right away. i just submitted the application form 4 days ago and now, this! job fucking interview." i spoke and fumiko let out a heartily laugh at her.
