Today was Paula's first day at the office. She got off at the bus stop closest to the office after inserting a five hundred yen coin. She immediately got off, without paying attention to the change, because she was not used to taking the bus. However, the bus driver repeatedly called her to pick up the change in Japanese. Of course, she didn't understand until a man took the change and chased after her to give the change.

"Miss!" shouted a young man, running closer in her direction.

Paula didn't notice it. So the man sped up, chasing ahead of her and shoving three hundred yen coins at her. He gasped for air, plastering a friendly smile on her.

"Here's your change, miss!" said the young man wearing a neat shirt with a friendly smile. "Next time don't forget to take it! Check it first before you get off."

Paula just smiled and nodded, feeling guilty for bothering others.

"Thanks!" Paula thanked him in Japanese.

"Welcome!" The young man replied in English.

The two of them walked together and talked awkwardly. The man tried to speak in English even though he was struggling. Turns out, they were both headed for the same building. Then, the two separated toward their respective destinations.

Unlike what everyone thought, Paula came and disguised herself as an ordinary worker. She came on behalf of Eva Morgan, the woman who was appointed as a new employee in the design department. While the original Eva Morgan was transferred to the main office on Fifth Avenue.

.....

No one knew what Eva Morgan looked like because Robert and the superior in Tokyo didn't think it was important. She was an ordinary employee. In addition, no one knew Paula's real face except for Miyuki because she had never directly intervened to handle this family business.

Therefore, Paula took advantage of this loophole to allow her to enter the Tokyo office by hiding her true identity. Only Miyuki knew of this plan. The others didn't have any idea about it. Paula hoped that the problem would be resolved quickly if the traitor didn't know he or she was being watched.

To be more convincing, she must live a simple life in Tokyo. Starting from a middle-end apartment without hiring a housemaid. She also humbly used public transportation or just on foot-for the sake of a convincing disguise.

As soon as she entered the building, Paula immediately met Miyuki who was waiting at the fast food restaurant downstairs. They shouldn't be seen together too much by office people until the traitor was found. Even now, the two were sitting around two different tables. They turned their backs on each other and hid each other's faces with magazines.

"Could you please tell me how the secret information leaked?" asked Paula as she devoured her meat sandwich. She didn't eat breakfast at home because she woke up late this morning. Last night she had trouble sleeping again after a bad dream.

Paula already knew the story of the information leakage from her father. However, she wanted to know the more detailed one from Miyuki.

A month ago Anderson Jewelry (AJ) Tokyo branch and center held a meeting. They agreed on a concept with the theme of Winter Sakura to be launched in Japan only.

Unlike the usual ones that only follow AJ New York, AJ Tokyo this time would launch a product that was more suitable for the local market. AJ New York products would only be provided in a limited way-the number was adjusted according to the number of loyal customers.

The concept carried by Winter Sakura was jewelry with a white metal frame combined with high-quality pink Akoya pearls. For the price variation, they would produce jewelry made of platinum, white gold, and silver metal. The design was made with a simple concept because it was intended for daily use so it didn't look too dramatic and flashy.
