She's my employee, Ayaka.

She's a great secretary who I admire.

Six months ago, she told me she was going to quit.

President, the meeting with President Yanagisawa is set for the 22nd.

Oh, I see.

You seem to have found the concept of the event

that utilizes local specialties to be very appealing.

It seems that you felt the same way.

So I wanted to talk to you as soon as possible, so it's been 22 days.

I see. That's a good sign. Thank you.

Happy birthday.

Thank you as always.

Open it.

Is it expensive?

That's because it suits you.

I'm glad you're celebrating, but I'd like you to treat me the same as the other employees.

I want to do that, so it's okay. More importantly, I made a reservation for a good restaurant tonight, so I'll be there for a while.

Actually, I have an appointment with someone important tonight.

I have a plan.

What?

Do you have a boyfriend?

I was going to tell you about it soon.

Oh, I see.

That's good.

Can you take your time now?

What?

I'd like to say hello.

Hello?

Is your boyfriend here?

Yes.

Where is he?

Yes, please wait a minute.

Excuse me.

Oh, it's you, Motoka.

What's up?

I'm sorry for taking up your time at work.

I'm actually dating Ayaka.

I see.

You must have some love in the company.

You don't have to answer me.

But we're getting married.

I'm thinking of quitting my job.

What?

You're quitting?

What? Both of you?

I feel sorry for Mr. Ozawa.

But I'm thinking about her and the future.

I see.

So, what are you going to do?

Actually, Mr. Kawabe, the owner of Kawabe Foods, likes me very much.

He wants me to be in charge of the distribution of seafood.

I'm thinking of becoming independent.

What?

What? Mr. Kawabe is going to hire you?

Are you kidding me?

No, I'm not kidding. I've signed a temporary contract.

Oh, he's gone crazy.

As you said, I'm still inexperienced.

I may not be able to be independent.

But she supported me.

I'm determined to take a step forward.

I will do my best as a husband and wife.

Mr. Osawa, please accept us.

I understand.

If you're talking about independence,

I'll support you for a month.

Thank you.

Go back to work.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Mr. Osawa.

I'm sorry for the sudden talk.

No, it's a happy story.

Ayaku-kun, be happy.

Thank you.

My favorite secretary is in love with an employee.

Moreover, he even made me quit my job and support me independently.

That kind of young man with no ability or money

made Ayaku-kun his partner for a job that he could easily give up every day.

He made me his partner.

He made me do what I wanted to do.

Damn it.

That's too harsh.

If you keep making those orders, we'll go bankrupt.

Originally, we were supposed to have the lowest price,

as promised by President Kawabe.

But that's not what we agreed on.

What's going on?

I'll talk to the president first,

and then I'll call you back.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Oh, hello.

Is this President Kawabe?

I'm always in your care.

I'm Muto from MJ Foods.

Um...

I've been getting orders for less than half in two months in a row.

I can't do this.

What's the reason?

A limit?

What's the limit?

Ozawa Corporation?

What's that?

Why are you doing that?

Yeah.

You mean I can't do business?

What's that?

Yes.

Yes.

I understand.

I'm sorry for bothering you.

Yes.

Excuse me.

What's wrong?

President Ozawa put pressure on Kawabe.

What do you mean?

He said that if the product is not approved, it will not be sold at the market.

In particular, he said that Chinese companies like us cannot destroy Hokkaido brands.

He put it on the prohibited list.

What is that?

I wonder why.

I just feel like I'm bullying you.

You know we're hanging out there.

Why are you doing that?

We have no choice but to switch.

Stop importing and buy domestic products.

But I can't buy that much.

I'll borrow it.

It's a fund-raising.

I can't go bankrupt here.

And three months later...

The most notable one is

Yasui Shokugin.

This one recorded a 200% increase compared to the previous year.

I think this is because of the pre-announcement activities.

Next, I will report on the advertising activities.

Let's take a break for a while.

What's wrong?

I'm going to take a break.

Please continue.

Please leave it here.

Yes, sir.

Oh, it's you, Ayako.

It's Ozawa.

I heard what happened.

It must have been hard for you.

I'm sorry.

I made a mistake by thinking that the way you do your work would hurt Hokkaido Brand.

I knew you were involved, but it was a helpless decision.

No, I think it's inevitable for you to be in the position of President Ozawa, who is in charge of the situation.

Thank you for your understanding.

So, you're going to close down the company?

You have a debt?

Yes.

I made a huge amount of money to buy all the domestic goods.

A small company wouldn't do that.

He doesn't know that.

I stopped him, but he was stubborn.

How much did you borrow?

About 40 million.

From the bank?

The bank, and other financial companies.

I have a secret to him.

I borrowed some money.

How much is it?

Half of it.

20 million yen?

That's about it.

Can you pay it back?

I'm going to look for a job for the two of us.

I think I'll have to pay it back with my salary.

You're not going to break up, are you?

I can't do that.

I don't want him to know that I'm in debt.

Why?

I don't want to stress him out anymore.

That's a simple thought.

I'll pay you back for the money you borrowed.

Of course, I want you to work for me.

I want to help you.

That would make me very happy.

I've always wanted you to be my secretary.

Be my comfort.

You've been working with me for years.

It's all about whether you have a physical relationship with me or not.

Don't you think it's easy?

Are you betraying me?

I'm not betraying you.

It's a job.

Let me think about it.

Can I have some time to think?

No, you decide here.

I don't want to get in the way of you and your wife.

I don't want to get in your way.

As a job, I want to love you like a lover during my working hours.

I understand what you're saying.

But my feelings...

I know it's not a big deal if it's over 1,000.

President...

Ayaka, can I kiss you?

That's all I need today.

This kiss is not a betrayal.

It's a contract.

Contract?

Ayako.

Yes.

To save him.

Please.

I don't want him to find out.

Of course.

And Ayako will work as a secretary again.

Not just a secretary.

She's a secretary of love.

Good morning, Mr. President.

Good morning.

I'd like to confirm the schedule for today.

Is that okay?

Yes.

Today, at 10 o'clock, there will be a business meeting.

At 11 o'clock, there will be a meeting with the person in charge of the bank.

I have a meeting with Mr. Morita.

After that, I asked him to have lunch with me.

I see.

I thought it would be nice to have a Japanese meal, so I made a reservation at a restaurant called Nagomi.

I see.

I have a meeting with Mr. Morita at the office, and then I have a dinner party at the Daimaru Department Store.

And I'm back here at 11 o'clock to set up a dinner party with Mr. Kawabe, the president of the Comparison Meeting.

I see.

You don't have to be there for dinner tonight.

You can wait in the usual hotel.

Yes, sir.

How many minutes until the meeting?

30 minutes.

I see. Let's do it here.

I can't believe there's such a celebratory item in it.

It feels good.

I want a kid like you.

Well, it can't be helped.

Oh, President Ozawa.

I'm sorry, but can't you give me a little more?

I'm so sorry for that day.

You betrayed me.

You supported my employees.

I'm so sorry for that day.

Young people are doing their best.

I lost to them.

I didn't mean to do that.

Thanks to you, my company suffered a great loss.

I was in trouble because I was fired.

I don't care about him.

He's the biggest reason why I lost my job.

Oh, you mean his wife? I'm so sorry.

Did you talk to him?

Yeah, we talked last month.

He said he was busy with his company.

Oh, I see. Can you call him again?

Sure.

I'm fine.

By the way, tell your wife that I'm doing my best.

I got it.

I'll tell her.

If possible, today.

Good night.

What was it?

About the sales?

That's right.

President, there's a new product.

What is it?

It's a pine cone.

I built a factory in the middle of the war.

That's good.

I wanted to make it real.

It's a long story.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Thank you for your hard work.

Take a shower.

What's wrong?

I heard you went back to Ozawa.

I was worried, so I called you.

I was told to come to my house after consulting.

I'm glad you helped me.

Hey, who did you ask?

It's President Kawabe.

Did he talk about me?

Did you talk to him?

Yes.

Is it bad to be known?

Not really.

Don't be stupid!

That's why you're wearing such a high-end suit and high-class underwear.

Obviously, it's different from the old days.

I knew Ozawa liked you.

But you didn't take anything he gave you.

That was supposed to be you.

What's with that outfit?

You look like a lover.

You're dead.

Wait a minute.

Don't touch me!

I don't want to touch your dirty body ever again.

President.

Can I talk to you a little before I tell you today's report?

What is it?

My husband found out.

I promised him, but it's terrible.

I'm sorry.

How did you find out?

I heard from President Kawabe.

I heard it from the president.

What did he say?

He said you're working at his company.

That's all he said.

He knew I was working.

That's bad.

I'm sorry if you think so.

It was my misunderstanding.

No, it's my fault.

I was spoiled by the president's love.

I got a lot of presents.

He didn't like it?

I'm sure you haven't received anything

I thought it was my job to take care of you.

Don't blame yourself so much.

You're not to blame. I'm to blame.

President...

You don't have to come to dinner today.

You can go home and spend time with Yasu.

Where are you going?

It's coffee time.

Are you going alone?

Sometimes one person is fine.

He said he didn't want to touch his dirty body.

No, he said he didn't want to touch it.

I can't go back to the way I was.

Please do something about it.

I'll follow you.

All I can say is thank you to the president who replaced me.

Even if my husband hates me now...

President, I'm sorry to say this, but can I tell you about today's schedule?

That's nice.

Please report it.

Please wait a minute.

My schedule is messed up.

I see.

Today, there is a business meeting at 10 o'clock and a meeting with the tax officer at 11 o'clock.

But the business meeting was canceled due to this situation.

I see. I haven't contacted you.

It's okay. I emailed you while I was on the move.

I see. That's helpful.

After the meeting with the tax officer, can I go to the massage?

Oh, don't change from there. Please proceed.

I see. I'll make a reservation.

There will be a massage at 2 pm and an interview at 9 pm.

After that, there will be a meeting at the Imperial Hotel at 6 pm.

At that time, we will have a dinner at a restaurant called Akebono.

That's all.

Akebono? That's his restaurant.

I don't know what to say.

It's a terrible restaurant.

That's a good point.

It's true that the taste is good.

Let's go to eat sushi after that.

Yes, I think that's good.

Do you want to get married?

You look good.

You can't continue to be a couple with me anymore.

I think this is the best.

Do you want to be with Ozawa?

We can't be together.

It's not that kind of relationship.

But it's a love affair.

You don't have to think like that.

You won't believe me no matter what I say.

As you said, my body is dirty.

I don't want to touch it again.

I'm the worst woman.

That's enough.

You won't listen to me if you become a doctor.

You got hot on your own.

Even if I stop you, you'll be in debt.

I can't keep up with you anymore.

So sign it.

It was my fault.

It's all my fault.

You're even pretending to be dead because of me.

But I'm sorry I couldn't make you happy even though I said something terrible.

That's enough.

Don't blame yourself any more.

I don't want to be born. I need it.

You don't want to be born, do you?

I really love you.

And he found a job and decided to move forward as a couple.

Please look at the first page of the document.

According to the results of the market survey, consumers are very interested in local fresh food.

In addition, there is also a demand for health-conscious products.

Please look at the next page.

Based on this trend, we will promote local agricultural products and promote organic products.

In addition, we would like to strengthen the promotion using SNS.

In particular, by introducing the attractive points of the products and the producers who are scheduled to participate in Instagram and X,

I think that you can increase the sense of expectation.

I think that it can be understood.

In addition, it is possible to call a local chef and sell the ingredients used on the spot at the cooking show.

I think that this will deepen the consumer's understanding of ingredients and stimulate the desire to sell.

That's all.

I see. It's a good idea, Moto.

You try it.

It's a reproducible good plan.

I'll leave it to you.

Thank you very much.

Everyone, please support Muto.

Dismissed.

Thank you very much.

Let's have a meeting here.

Yes.

I want to die.

In the meantime, there are three people who have already left the venue.

If possible, I would like you to cooperate with the two of you until tomorrow.

What are you doing in front of your husband?

Please don't do that.

What did I do?

You put it on your face.

I'm sorry.

I was jealous when I saw you staring at his face.

Please don't do that.

Please.

My husband believes in me.

I'm jealous.

It's a contract. It's my job.

Yes, I am. And I'm grateful for it.

I see.

Then, this is the last job for today.

Let's start.

Yes.

Let's go.

Are you sleepy?

Happy birthday.

I rented a room with you.

Thank you.
