"Just fire her already Mina...she's made so many mistakes." Nayeon shakes her head disapprovingly, watching from inside the CEO's office as Mina's secretary tries to juggle an ipad, some file folders, and a cup of tea, that Nayeon assumes is for Mina.
"You're overreacting..she's..."
"Ah...no.no no...." A loud crash is heard and Mina hopes the tea missed the ipad at least.
"Sana, are you okay?" Jeongyeon, Nayeon's secretary, was quick to check on the girl.
"It's just the tea." Sana smiles, feeling proud of having saved everything except for her sleeve, which was now soaked.
"Come here." Mina quickly grabbed Sana's wrist and dragged the girl into her private bathroom, "Does it hurt?" Mina asks softly, grabbing the girl's blazer and setting it on the sink.
"It's fine Ms. Myoui." Sana says softly, her eyes looking at everything but at her boss who's currently tending to her burn.
"It scalded a bit, but it doesn't look too bad." The CEO says while dabbing the area with burn cream, "You shouldn't carry it all if you can't handle it Ms. Minatozaki." Mina looks up and catches Sana's eyes, "or else you'll crash and burn."
"Kinda already did that though." Sana jokes and Mina offers a small smile, "here." The dark haired girl takes her own blazer off, draping it over her secretary's shoulder, "Go home..and rest up."
"But it's only..."
"It's fine Ms. Minatozaki. I think I can handle it."
"Right..okay." Sana nods, feeling relieved that she wasn't fired.
After the girl gathers her things and leaves, Nayeon is back on her whole 'get Mina a new secretary' agenda.
"No Nayeon." Mina says sternly before the bunny toothed girl could speak.
"But Mina-yahhh, she's more trouble than help. I mean look it's only 930am and you've already sent her home..the working hour started 30 minutes ago." The girl points to her watch, "She's clumsy and disorganised. Two traits you, my best friend who I know better than the back of my giant hand, loath. So why is it that this secretary of yours has somehow lasted 6 months?"
"She can be a bit clumsy and disorganised, but she has a great work ethic. And, she's also quite intelligent. She does her job well enough."
"Well enough, isn't helping you though."
"Look, Jeongyeonnie has a friend who..."
"Nayeon, I think I'm perfectly capable to decide if my own staff is incompetent or not. Afterall, I do run this company, do I not?" Mina's tone was stern and serious, the tone that tells Nayeon that this conversation is over.
"Okay fine, but at least consider hiring a second one." Nayeon sighs.
"I'll think about it." Mina's stern facade breaks, "I know you care Nay, but Ms. Minatozaki is different..just..trust me okay?"
"Alright, but let me know about that second secretary okay?"
"I.."
"I'm sorry to bother, but Ms. Im your meeting with the French investors starts in 10minutes."
"Always so serious Jeongyeonnie, I told you to just call me Nayeon." Nayeon shakes her head, getting up to finally leave Mina alone, "I'll see you at lunch Minari~" Nayeon smiles while Jeongyeon bows politely at the CEO.

"Seeing that you're here at 10am, with a blazer that definitely doesn't belong to you, I'm assuming you got sent home again?"
