Who is Mr. Mark?

He's a major client and a super tough one.

I want Ms. Noom Nim to be AE for this project.

I can't be like young girls these days who use their body for career development.

If you don't want to be Mr. Mark's AE, you can tell me.

If I don't do it, I'm afraid our project will suffer consequences.

If you want to quit, you can.

Everyone wants to be my secretary.

[Resignation Letter]

[HR Manager Room]

Hey, Nim?

Hello, Ja Oh.

You're early today. What's up?

Well,

I'm here to submit my resignation letter.

You're resigning?

Why is it so sudden? You've just started working here.

Is it because you don't like your secretary job?

The job itself is not a problem for me.

Or is it because of what Ploy has been gossiping about?

Don't think too much. They are just talking nonsenses.

Well, I have a personal matter,

but I can't tell you now.

Ja Oh, can you please help me?

Alright then.

But have you talked to Boss before coming to see me?

Not yet.

Alright then.

According to the company's rule, you're allowed to submit your resignation letter,

but in the end,

the person who will approve it is the boss to whom you directly report.

You're working as his personal secretary, so the person who will approve it for you is...

Boss, right?

What I can help is submitting your letter to him,

but whether he will sign it or not can't be guaranteed.

Are you okay with this?

Yes.

Thank you.

Nim!

I've finally found you here!

Are you here to see Boss? He's not in now.

No, I'm not. I'm looking for you.

What is it?

Do you remember that Mr. Mark mentioned during the meeting

that he wanted you as his AE for this project?

About that...

I remember.

Great! That's a relief.

This is what I'm going to talk to you about.

Well, this job is super easy.

As an AE, you will be a coordinator between Mr. Mark and my team.

My team will be in charge of media and technical stuffs.

All you have to do are just taking care of the brief.

That's a piece of cake, right?

You can do it, right?

What about Boss?

Boss?

I already asked for his permission this morning.

He approved it..

- Did he? - Yes.

He said that you just need to manage your time for your main job well.

That's it.

Just relax. It's easy, right?

I have no problem with that then.

Thank you, Nim.

I'm going to meet Boss at the studio. You can come with me.

- I have to go now? - Yes.

I give you 10 minutes to get ready, and we'll meet outside.

Alright.

See you.

Yes.

Keep glaring.

Move your face up a bit.

Good job.

What's that?

Why are the trousers poking out like that?

The concept that we've planned is a lively look like this, right?

So we're having close-up shots later? For different camera angles?

Do we have other costumes?

Enough for now, please.

Bifern, you did a great job, but can you make it livelier?

I want more of a J-pop vibe.

I have no idea how to pose. Do you have a reference for me?

What do you think?

I have no idea either.

Let's put it this way then.

Should I try doing the same thing as we did when we went out together?

Please get changed first.

We'll have a 15-minute break, please.

How is it?

Do you like the model that I've chosen?

She did well, but it looks like she doesn't quite understand the concept.

You know that Bifern is a sexy type, don't you?

I guess you must adjust yourself to that.

If she's the model that our client has selected, we do not want to reject.

Is this also the reason why

you even allow your secretary to become my project coordinator?

All of my employees are willing to do their best to satisfy our clients' needs.

That's great

because I like the company that values work over a personal matter.

This means that you don't have any problem if Ms. Noom Nim works with me, right?

If it's related to work, then there's no problem.

What if it's something else?

What do you mean by that?

You have worked with quite a lot of women.

You must already know the reason why most of them approach us.

Take Bifern, for example.

Or even your secretary...

What are you actually trying to tell me?

Just say it directly. I don't like beating around the bush.

Mr. Akitsuki,

it's nothing much actually.

I just want to remind you...

not to be too passionate about that beautiful secretary of yours.

It's true that she's talented,

but she's not different from any other girls who approach their boss for their own benefits.

It's the same as what you're doing.

Pardon?

I don't know about others,

but as far as I've known Noom Nim, she doesn't behave like what you just said.

Are you angry?

I'm just kidding.

Well, are you being so protective...

because you already got to secretly "try" her?

A guy like me, when longing for something, never needs to do it secretly.

That's because I've never been in a relationship just for fun,

unlike some bad-mouthed losers

who like to look down on others and disrespect others' dignities

just to make them look superior.

Please excuse me. I'll get back to work.

- In? - Yes?

In, are you sure that my boss really did allow me to come?

Of course. He confirmed with me himself.

Nim, please don't worry about redundant tasks. I'll manage them for you.

You just need to complete the tasks you're assigned. That's it.

Is that so?

Sure thing.

That's beautiful.

We can add products in.

Hello.

How is everything going?

We're on the second set now. What about the model?

Any problem?

It's going well, right?

Well then, please take care of this.

How is it going?

We're on the second set now. What about the model?

Changing the outfit?

Everything's ready?

Nim!

Hello, Boss.

Hello, Mr. Hazobe.

Hey, Ms. In and Ms. Noom Nim.

- How did you get here? - I drove.

I've told Nim according to what I'd talked to you, Boss.

And then we came here right away.

Alright.

Is this your first time visiting a set like this, Ms. Noom Nim?

You can do it!

Thank you! I will!

You're here to see our client, right?

Have you met him?

Hello, Ms. In. and Ms. Noom Nim. I've been waiting for you.

Hello, Mr. Mark.

How is it going? Has the shooting been going well?

Great. We've just finished the first half.

We're about to check all the photos out.

Would you like to see them together?

Nim, let's check them out.

Go ahead.

Next, please.

Go on.

Next, please.

Next.

Keep going.

Go back to the previous one.

Pause here.

Don't you guys think it's strange?

What is strange?

The concept of this product is J-Pop.

It should be cheerful and innocent in a Japanese style with a beach vibe.

Am I right?

Look at Bifern's face.

Has she been heartbroken for 10 years or what?

And I don't see any Japanese vibe in it.

Well, I think this photo is not really that bad.

Really?

I don't think so. I think it's bad.

All the photos taken do not match with the concept we've initially planned.

I think something is not right.

Or is it because Bifern is actually not suitable for this job?

What do you think, Mr. Akitsuki?

Yes, but I think that Bifern can change her style based on what you said

if we give her some time.

I'm just proposing what I want.

Your job is to control the work quality.

If you think there's something wrong, then just decline it.

If not, then why would I hire your team?

Well, Mr. Mark, if you would like to make any change to this work,

our company is willing to do it for you

but it's just that we might need to cancel today's shoot first and reschedule it.

No.

I want the shoot to be done today.

My product has already been promoted. The press conference date has also been scheduled.

I won't postpone the shoot.

Your job is to find me a new model today.

She must match with our concept.

The best choice would be a Japanese model.

But Mr. Mark?

You mean you can't solve it? Right?

So, I can spread the news that ViperX company did a really sloppy job,

failing to do what it advertised.

It's alright. I'll find a way to solve it.

This is not your responsibility.

I can handle it myself.

Great.

But I just want to warn you that if you can't find a new model within an hour,

all the projects that I have agreed on working with ViperX will be cancelled.

Ms. Bifern! Ms. Bifern!

Ms. Bifern!

Is she in Thailand now?

We must contact you again later, right?

Leave it there.

Give me the pen.

Call this person later too. I'll get back to you with that.

- Hazobe! - Yes?

Call all Japanese actresses, artists, and models we know currently in Thailand.

Yes, Boss.

She is not available?

Alright. Thank you.

Give me the pen.

Yes.

- I'll try to contact her. - Boss.

I told you that it's not your responsibility.

Well, I just think that finding a model within an hour is...

I know what I'm doing.

Please leave now. I have to work.

What about this one?

Alright? I'll try to contact her.

Hi?

She's not available, right?

Alright then. I'll contact another one.

The news has reached Japan already?

That was fast.

Nope. I won't accept any other offer.

I give them only one hour.

If they fail, then the game is over.

- Do you have anyone else? - I'll try to contact them again.

How is it going?

I'm trying to find one.

Alright. I'll get back to you later.

Can you find a Japanese model within one hour?

This is urgent. We have no more time left.

We haven't contacted this one yet.

Do your best. We only have 40 minutes left.

Can you find another one instead? This girl's style is Thai.

I couldn't find any.

Please excuse me for a while.

Mr. Mark, I have an offer for you.

I've contacted a Japanese girl group.

They are all ready to fly here and shoot for your ads.

But we must postpone the shooting day to tomorrow.

You always surprise me.

Alright.

I'll take that offer,

but under one condition.

You must kneel down to apologize.

That's already too much!

Koji?

- Koji? - Let it be.

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

I've found you a new model.

Miyakawa Azuki?

Just tell me what you want me to do. I'm not free all day for this.

Please go ahead.

This way, please.

I hope that you like the model we've selected this time.

Nim, can I ask you for real?

How did you get to know Miyakawa Azuki? She's a real top idol.

Her schedule is also very tight.

I've been trying to contact her to shoot for our company,

but I always failed.

Well, I met her during my freelance job before I started working for this company.

We're so lucky that she's still available.

I think this is beyond a simple luck. I guess there must be something good about you.

Any amulet?

- Show me your lock screen. - Nothing.

- I have nothing at all. - You're sure?

Sure? If you have any, you must let me know.

Let's watch the shoot.

I'll pick up my call. I'll be back.

How is it? Are the photos alright?

Good, right?

Hello, Ms. Rena.

In, we're shooting the ads for Mr. Mark, right? How is it going?

We're in the middle of the shoot.

I've already found a model for you. She'll be there within 30 minutes.

Please take care of her.

A Japanese model?

We don't need her anymore, Ms. Rena. We've already found a new model.

Pardon? You have? Who is she?

It's Miyakawa Azuki.

Azuki? Who contacted her?

Noom Nim did. She's Mr. Akitsuki's secretary.

She contacted her for us.

Book me a plane ticket to Thailand.

When would you like to fly, Boss?

Now.

It's a wrap for today.

Great job, everyone.

Ms. Noom Nim.

How have you been?

Amazing.

Thank you for thinking of me today.

It's lucky that I'm still available.

But even if I were not, I would cancel my schedule to help you anyway.

I already feel so thankful that you're helping me here.

You also did help me back then. I must repay the favor.

Ken manager is getting sued soon.

I'm happy for you, Azuki.

Ms. Noom Nim.

Yes, Mr. Mark?

I must really thank you for this.

Without you, I must have been in trouble today.

Yes.

Well then,

if you need anything in return, please let me know.

I can give you everything.

Thank you.

Can I hug you once?

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Mr. Mark.

I'm leaving now.

This is all I wanted to tell you.

Alright.

Hey, I thought you were going to the restroom.

You always allow men to easily touch you like that?

Mr. Mark is our client.

I see.

Because he's our client, you are pleased to serve him with everything.

You even offer yourself to solve the problem.

That's amazing.

Do you still remember your job description that you're my secretary?

But you said it yourself that I should do both jobs well.

Did I ask for your help?

When did I say that?

I can solve the problem by myself. Do you understand?

I didn't say this because I'm frustrated.

What you said is already clear enough.

I'm sorry for sticking my nose in,

but I just wanted this work to go well.

Was I really that wrong?

I just want you to do the right job.

So please stop throwing me to other jobs.

I applied for a translator position, but then you transferred me to a secretary role.

Then, you assigned me to do this AE job.

I really don't know how to do this anymore.

Ms. Nezumi...

Boss, if you feel uncomfortable with this,

just bear with it for a little while.

I already submitted my resignation letter.

Nim?

Why are you here crying like this?

[This is Mark. Please reply my Line message, Ms. Noom Nim.]

What time do you get off work tomorrow?

In, Mr. Mark sent me messages on Line.

Yes, and so what?

I don't remember giving my Line account or my number to anyone.

Well, I gave him.

In?

It's necessary, Nim.

Mr. Mark is extremely difficult to reach, and he's also very strict.

I really need to maintain our connection with the client.

- But In... - Only for this time!

Please.

Please help me.

Please.

Alright.

At 6 PM.

I'll pick you up. Let's go out for dinner.

I think it's not good to do so.

It's good since I would like to discuss more about work.

See you tomorrow at 6 PM. I have to go to your office anyway.

Please don't say no.

Boss...

This morning, I have a conference call with a client in Hong Kong.

Talk to you later.

You keep stirring it that the coffee and the cup almost become one.

Are you stressed out?

Did Koji assign you too much work?

No. I was just having thoughts in my head.

If he does anything bad to you, let me know. I'll sort him out.

You might get told off again.

He's my boss, so he has the right to do anything.

It seems like you're really sulking.

No, I'm not.

Noom Nim, please change your mind about resigning.

You know about it too?

Did you remember that time when he kneeled down for Mr. Mark?

Apologizing for something that is actually not your own fault

is considered a dire matter for Japanese people.

But he yielded because he knew that work is important.

We were still lucky that you helped us on time.

I didn't help much.

You did.

Both our boss and you are really devoted to work.

I think you two are a perfect match.

If there's any problem, talk to him.

Talk nicely to each other. Every problem can be solved.

I'm not available. I'm sorry.

In, it won't take long.

Please accompany me to have dinner with Mr. Mark.

I guess it won't take longer than two hours.

Please.

I also want to go, but I already have an appointment with my family.

I don't want to miss it.

In...

I know that I'm the cause of this thing, but I really can't make it today.

Plus, if I go to see him without telling him first,

Mr. Mark must be super angry with me for sure.

Please help me check this.

I don't think so.

Please check this marketing point as well as the graphs.

In, please go with me.

Nim, please just think that you're helping me.

Mr. Mark may seem quite mean when working, but he's actually not.

He's such a gentleman. Please don't be scared of him.

Or do you want me to beg you like this?

Please don't. You don't need to.

Alright then. I can go with him alone.

I believe that you can do it.

Good luck.

Is everything alright?

- It got signed. - Thank you.

Noom Nim!

You haven't left yet?

Not yet, but I'll be leaving soon.

- I have an appointment later. - Really?

You'd better hurry up. Otherwise, the Skytrain will be too crowded.

Sure. What about you? You're not leaving yet?

I will, very soon.

I drop by with these documents for Boss to sign.

There have been so many projects recently, so many documents are waiting to be approved.

I guess our boss must be exhausted.

Is he always like this?

Always. If his work is not done, he will never go back home.

I'm afraid he will get really sick one day.

Anyway, please take care of these documents for me.

Sure. I'll manage them for you.

- Go home safely. See you. - See you.

I'll leave the documents that you have to sign here.

Can you not go?

Boss, I don't want to break my words.

I'm not on the point where I can reject the client either.

You can, but you just don't.

It's nearly my appointment time now.

- I'll send you off. - It's alright. I can go by myself.

Why?

I don't want you to do anything for me anymore.

Didn't you say that you got off work at 6?

I've been waiting for half an hour.

I'm sorry. I had an ongoing task to manage.

What was it?

Why are you looking so depressed? Did your boss scold you?

Anyway, it's nearly our reservation time.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Send you to the car.

I can go on my own. It's alright.

This car, right?

It looks like your boss is not happy that you're with me.

I'm just his employee, nothing more.

I wonder why Akitsuki Koji is so interested in you.
