00:00Yes, I'm very sorry. Um, I will send the person in charge immediately. Hey, Ogawa!
00:07Y-yes?
00:08There's an issue at Tokyo Scoot Trading Company. Hurry up. We are leaving immediately.
00:13What in the world happened?
00:15My name is Masa Ogawa, a 23 year old employed by an SME with less than a hundred employees.
00:22Um, so what exactly happened? The CEO of TTC is very upset.
00:27Huh?
00:30Hello, gentlemen.
00:32We sincerely apologize for what happened. Hey, you apologize too.
00:37We sincerely apologize.
00:39Please lift your heads. Let's discuss this in detail.
00:44This is Miss Erika Takahashi, the CEO of Tokyo Scoot Trading Company.
00:50She is a talented leader who leads a large number of employees at the tender age of 27.
00:56In the fashion industry, she is known as the designer whose looks are comparable to that of a model.
01:02But in my company, she is famous for another reason. She is known to be harsh on the salespeople.
01:08She is known as the Empress. Will you take a look at this? Do you see the difference?
01:15E-excuse me?
01:16Hmm, but the design and stitches are the same as well as the silhouette. What is the difference? Oh!
01:23Oh!
01:24This is the fabric that we recently started selling at our company. The functionality is the same as before, but the texture is very different.
01:32Nice. As expected, you really know your company's products.
01:36Well, I was the one who proposed it to the product development department, so...
01:41When I first saw it, I thought it was very innovative. You developed this material, didn't you?
01:47You noticed it?
01:49It was just as I requested before. I was very happy because all my ideals were fully incorporated.
01:56But, the presented final product had a different material.
02:01We invested huge amounts of money on advertising and promotion using celebrities.
02:06But all you can say is, oops, sorry! We made a mistake over a phone call. This is unacceptable!
02:13We are so sorry! My heart sank after I heard Ms. Takahashi's story. I started to piece together events from the month before.
02:22Last month, I took an entire week off of work due to a cold that was going around.
02:27There were lots of people in the other departments who were sick, and because of that, the company was in chaos.
02:34After a week, I returned to work to deal with all the follow-up and apology calls.
02:39The error in ordering was probably made then.
02:43What have I done to such an important business partner?
02:47All of the products that we sold in advance were cancelled.
02:51The story that was scheduled to be published in the magazine also fell through.
02:55I don't know how to apologize for this.
02:57It's also our responsibility that we didn't notice this error in the prototype stage.
03:02But for the sake of both parties, I would like to settle this firmly. This.
03:07Ten million yen!
03:09For details, please refer to the attached document.
03:13We are willing to let this matter go, if you take up on this offer.
03:17That... that is too much, Ms. Takahashi. It's too much of a burden for us. We can't afford to take such a loss.
03:26This is business. As I mentioned before, this is not a game.
03:31But... um...
03:33This is all because I neglected to check the order. It's all my responsibility.
03:38We do not have capacity to deal with this immediately, but we will do our best to make up for it in other ways.
03:44We'd be happy to do anything for you.
03:47Ms. Takahashi, I beg you, please!
03:51I will repay you bit by bit. If there is anything I can do for you, I'd be happy to do it!
03:56You said you'd do anything.
04:00Well, here is ten million yen.
04:03Be. Mine.
04:05Sorry!
04:07You'd do anything, right? This is a trade-off. If you join our company, I will forgive the ten million yen.
04:15What? What is going on? Am I being recruited?
04:19Well, the choice is yours.
04:22If you are okay with it, please take him.
04:25Negotiation's done.
04:29Alright, then please sign this document. It's a contract. You will have to move here as well, so please be ready in one week.
04:36Does it require me to move?
04:38Yes. Please read through the document for more information.
04:42I skimmed through the contract form to familiarize myself with its contents.
04:48Secretary and personal caretaker? What is this?
04:53If you understand, please sign here.
04:56Do you understand?
04:57I don't understand!
04:59Alright. I'll give you one hour, so use that time to understand.
05:04That's not enough time!
05:05Enough with the excuses! Read it and don't make Ms. Takahashi wait!
05:10And so, it's now been a week since I am here at Ms. Takahashi's home.
05:15The job description isn't sitting right with me.
05:18It's weird that my only role is both the secretary and the personal caretaker of Ms. Takahashi.
05:25Oh, Masa. I'm glad you're here. Thank you for coming.
05:29Thank you for having me.
05:31Come in, come in. Starting today, this is your home.
05:35Oh, this is terrible.
05:38Sorry. I'm very bad at chores. I don't have much time to spare, so...
05:42You want me to take care of it?
05:44Yes, please.
05:46Oh, those bambi eyes. How can I say no?
05:49I thought she was a perfect human with no flaws. This is pretty shocking.
05:55Should I toss this? I feel like I can still use it.
05:59If you're contemplating, let's toss it.
06:02Yeah? How about this?
06:04No.
06:05I'd like to sleep on my bed if possible.
06:08Oh, my.
06:10Oh, I'll bring the garbage bag.
06:12Okay. There's stuff all over the place, including underwear. This is going to take a while.
06:19Ah, it's already looking so much better.
06:23If you keep at it, it'll slowly start to come together. I put aside everything you might want to keep.
06:29It feels so nice to have a clean room.
06:31Hey, whoa!
06:34Ah!
06:36I'm so sorry!
06:38Oh, no, sorry.
06:40Shoot, that was too close. I was only a few centimeters away from her face.
06:46It's so neat and tidy now. This is perfect. Thank you so much.
06:50No worries. That was a lot of work.
06:53Looking forward to having you around.
06:56That was how my new job started, with a deep clean of Ms. Takahashi's home.
07:01And with that, I also started my new life living with Ms. Takahashi.
07:06Alright. Starting today, you'll be working like crazy for me.
07:10This is the Ms. Takahashi I know. She's a completely different person at home and at work.
07:16First of all, let's share our schedules.
07:18This is your device. It's linked to mine so that we can see each other's schedules.
07:22Y-yes.
07:24Just as I expected. Her schedule is jam-packed.
07:28First up is a meeting. We need to get moving quickly and efficiently. Keep up with me.
07:33The schedule for the day included three meetings, one photoshoot for a new product model, and one interview.
07:40These are to be done alongside the regular tasks, such as design creation and going through documents.
07:47Next meeting.
07:48Yes, ma'am.
07:49Now photoshoot. Change into these.
07:51Yes, ma'am.
07:53Interview.
07:54Yes, ma'am.
07:55So, that's kind of the gist of it.
07:59T-thank you very much. Is she really human? It's such a tough schedule, but she does it so effortlessly.
08:07You must be tired after your first day. You can go now. You have other things to do around the house.
08:13Oh? B-but...
08:15I have regular tasks to do after this. I won't be able to go home until 10 PM.
08:21I see. Well then, I have dinner prepared.
08:25I can't wait to see you at home, too.
08:29It's really lonely when I come home at the end of the day to an empty room. I look forward to going home today.
08:36I think you are too close.
08:38I went home after I finished my first day working as a secretary and waited for Ms. Takahashi's return.
08:45I feel restless.
08:47Though it is part of the job, I couldn't get used to the fact I was invading the living space of a woman.
08:53With dinner and the bath prepared, I waited anxiously for her return.
08:58I'm home!
08:59Welcome home!
09:00Huh?
09:01Um, is there something on your mind?
09:04Masa!
09:06I'm so happy!
09:07M-Ms. Takahashi!
09:09I've been staring at all the documents since you left. I'm so hungry!
09:14D-dinner is ready, so we can eat!
09:18Yeah! Let's eat together!
09:20Of course!
09:22It's so good!
09:24I lived alone, so I learned to cook simple meals. It's nothing elaborate like they serve in restaurants.
09:30Restaurant-quality meals can be eaten at restaurants.
09:33It's been so long since I last ate a meal with someone at home.
09:38Um, you got rice.
09:40Huh?
09:41Oops!
09:43She's completely off of work mode. How cute!
09:46Oh, that was good!
09:48My heart and belly are full.
09:51Um, what are you doing?
09:54I'm feeling needy.
09:56Are you mistaking me for a teddy bear or something?
10:00No! No teddy bear!
10:03I want Masa.
10:04Don't fall asleep, okay?
10:06She's too comfortable around me!
10:11Thanks for everything today. Good night.
10:15Is she asleep already?
10:17That was fast.
10:18I guess this means I have no choice but to be in the same room.
10:26I don't think I can fall asleep tonight.
10:30The next morning.
10:31What's that?
10:33Oh, we're having an internal design competition, and right now I'm looking through the submissions.
10:39Why not sit at a desk to do it?
10:41It's more comfortable here.
10:43Not for me!
10:45It may look like she's just fooling around, but the look in Ms. Takahashi's eyes are serious.
10:51Meanwhile, my job right now is to be her chair.
10:54Am I being useful at all?
10:57Alright, let's go to the next meeting.
10:59Yes, ma'am!
11:01There's so many talented people here.
11:03Internal professional development is really emphasized.
11:06How amazing!
11:08And then there's me.
11:10Working as the secretary and caretaker for two weeks,
11:13I followed Ms. Takahashi everywhere, like her shadow.
11:17What am I doing?
11:18I'm just carrying her bag for her and being the occasional chair.
11:22I can't ease Ms. Takahashi's workload when she is busy.
11:25The most I can do is to welcome her home.
11:28I still get nervous when I see her change in behavior when she comes home from work.
11:33But it must be her way of relieving stress.
11:36I still don't feel useful.
11:39And I don't think it's a good idea for a man and a woman to keep living together like this.
11:44I'm home!
11:45Ugh, so tired.
11:49Oh?
11:50I was just heating dinner, so please have a seat.
11:54Hey.
11:55I'm- I'm busy right now.
11:58Masa?
11:59We're at work.
12:01Can you pat me?
12:03Sorry, I need to use the restroom.
12:05Once I started avoiding Ms. Takahashi, I got scared to approach her.
12:10I neglected my secretarial duties as well for such selfish reasons.
12:14I knew I had to leave the house soon,
12:16but that was when Ms. Takahashi came down with an illness.
12:20You have a really bad fever.
12:23It's okay, I still need to work.
12:25No, no, you need to rest.
12:27Huh?
12:28Sorry.
12:30No, I'm the one who needs to apologize.
12:33I've been taking advantage of your kindness.
12:35It must have been uncomfortable for you.
12:37I made you live with me just because I wanted to be with you.
12:40It's no surprise you don't like me.
12:43I never said that I didn't like you.
12:46Do you remember?
12:48The first time you came to our company for business.
12:50Of course.
12:52I was turned away faster than lightning.
12:55I was frustrated that no one would even talk to me.
12:57So I waited for you, Ms. Takahashi, to talk to you directly.
13:01You listened to everything I had to say and even gave me feedback.
13:05Ahaha.
13:07I thought you'd be completely defeated,
13:09but you always returned to pitch your product.
13:12Each time you seemed to have grown.
13:14Part of me thought you were weird and crazy,
13:17but I enjoyed spending time with you.
13:19Before I knew it, I'd fallen in love with a diligent, hardworking man named Masa Ogawa.
13:24Ugh.
13:25I'm being serious,
13:27but I've always prioritized work and I've never really had a proper relationship.
13:32On reflection, I do think I went too far.
13:35But I want you to understand that I'm into you that much.
13:39Well, if that is the case,
13:42Ms. Takahashi, I'd like to resign my position as your secretary effective today.
13:47Huh?
13:48Secretarial work is not for me,
13:50but I can definitely be more helpful to you in sales.
13:53That way, you don't have to handle everything by yourself.
13:56I can support you more.
13:58How dare you abandon duty so easily?
14:01Oof.
14:02Very well.
14:04But only if you call me by my first name.
14:07Um, okay, Erika.
14:10Moving back to the sales department,
14:12I relearned everything about the products from ground zero.
14:16Erika taught me all the specialized knowledge of the fashion industry.
14:20Of course, I was still doing the housework as well,
14:23and now the physical affection had increased.
14:27This is our performance this season.
14:29Thanks to you, we're on a roll.
14:31Sales revenue increased by 180% compared to the year before!
14:36That's great news!
14:38It's all because of you.
14:40You're too kind.
14:42As a thank you, I will be extra affectionate today.
14:45Extra affection as a thank you?
14:49If I hadn't recruited you, this wouldn't have happened.
14:52I hope you're grateful towards me.
14:54Of course I am.
14:56So?
14:57Can I be affectionate?
14:59Fine.
15:00I am probably the only person in the world
15:03who knows the needy side of this tough, stoic,
15:06and career-oriented female CEO.
