"Kayo-chin!" A girl with orange hair shouted, running up to the unsuspecting girl walking by the office halls. Being jumped at isn't a nice thing.
"R-Rin!" She stuttered. Rin smiled at her with a big goofy grin.
"hehehehe Kayo-chin is stuttering as always." The orange hair laughed.
"Anyways! I got picked by the owner!" Hanayo looked at her with surprise, she wondered what Rin was picked for.
"Um picked?"
"You didn't know?" The orange haired girl brought out a red letter with black cat seal, she opened it and showed the content to her friend.
"I received this today from Umi-senpai, she told me to head towards the newly built office today. I also heard that you got picked to!" Hanayo does not remember receiving anything. "I'm sorry but I think-"
"Hey that's the letter!" Rin shouted as she pointed towards the letter that was resting on Hanayo's desk.
…
Nozomi had always had the perks in changing everything, she was great with dealing with people. She rarely gets mad since she always brings kindness to everyone, making them like her. She was not a selfish person, and she never complained about her job.
Nozomi was running late again, she was once again scolded by her superior. But she easily got off the hook when she full on went into 'Mom mode.'
So with that out of the way-
"Toujo-san." A cool voice said. She peered over her shoulder and saw a girl with menacing, cold blue eyes, holding out a red letter.
"It's for you." That was all the blonde had said before walking away. Nozomi followed the girl with her eyes and saw her grabbing her bag before leaving. She wondered.
'Why is she leaving? It's early in the morning.' Nozomi looked at the suspicious letter that was now on her desk, opening the said letter and reading what was inside.
"Oh."
…
Umi was sweating bullets. The last person on the list was no other than her childhood friend, who she kind of have a big crush on. She sighed and shook her head, trying to focus on the task at hand. The blunette heard humming, and that was the voice of Kotori.
She inhaled deeply and with shaking hands, she gripped onto the letter almost crumpling it.
'Do it for the company Sonoda!'
Kotori was sitted on a chair, weaving cloths with a smile on her face. Umi had been paralyzed and was standing like a statue, near the ashen haired girl.
The bluenette decided to snap out of it and cleared her throat.
"Ahem. M-Minami-san." Kotori turned and quickly smiled when she saw her childhood friend.
"Ah! Umi-chan I told you to call me by my name like when we were kids."
"I-I ahh sorry." The ashen girl smiled again, making Umi look away blushing.
"A-Anyways, the owner's daughter had picked you in working for her." Kotori tilted her head.
"Why? What happened to the CEO?"
"They are away right now, on their way to Hawaii." Umi then held out the nearly crumpled letter to Kotori.
"H-Here read it. I must leave Nishikino-san might be looking for me. F-Farewell K-Kotori." Umi said before walking away. Professionally of course, she of course didn't stumble on her way out.
Kotori giggled at her friend, before looking at the mysterious looking letter.
"Hmmm. The owner's daughter must be a unique one." She said while staring at the black cat seal.

Maki was sitting on her big office chair, she was skimming through a site and looking at the steps for 'How to manage a company.´ She sighed and put the phone down, looking around she realize that this place was huge. She stared at the office tables that were now two steps below her and was aligned in front of her, but with a great distance between her and the later to arrive co-workers.
'I can't believe I actually agreed to this.' She heard a knock, and immediately she put her hood up. Hearing the door open, the red haired girl noticed that it was just Umi.
"I've finished with the task. They should be here at-" The bluenette was cut off when they heard a knock on the door.
'Well that was fast.'
A blonde haired girl slowly opened the door, wearing an outfit almost similar to Umi's but had a much more darker color.
"I'm sorry I'm late." She said in a low tone, making it seems like she's ready for business.
"Right on time actually, please take a sit." Umi said gesturing the blonde step inside. Eli noticed a person wearing all black, sitting on an office chair. It was making it harder to see the person's face, as it was shielded by the hood. She decided to ignore it an went on and sit on her chair.
It had been a few minutes since the blonde had arrive, and it has also been a few minutes since she said anything. Umi was standing next to Maki with her eyes close, not knowing what to do with the deafening silence.
A rapid knock had her breath out of relief. Rin along with three other girls opened the door with. The orange haired girl spotted the blue haired girl and shouted.
"UMI-SENPAI!" Maki grimace at the loudness, she didn't want to be rude and endured the ear destroyer.
'Ughh I did pick her…'
"Rin don't shout." Hanayo said trying to calm the girl down. Kotori smiled at the sight and waved at Umi while Nozomi had a mischievous smile on her face as she looks at the blushing blue haired girl.
Eli paid them no mind and continued on being silent. Maki noticed this through her hooded face nodded to herself. The four girls, saw a person wearing all black sitting on an office chair with a great distance between the office tables, as if avoiding them. They set they're things on their respective tables and sit.
Hanayo felt someone tug her sleeve and someone whispering to her ear.
"Hey Kayo-chin, that person over there looks like a really scary person." Rin said as she shivered.
"Don't be like that." Hanayo said, but she really had to admit her friend was right.
'That person looks like someone who bullies people. Oh no! I- I don't want to be a victim!'
Silence had once again overcome the room. Maki was still not doing anything , she was supposed to introduce herself to her new co-worker. But in truth, she was paralyzed, she didn't know that there would be a lot of people in the room, and it's making her really uncomfortable.
Umi saw the group looking over at their direction, waiting for something to happen. She sighed and bent down.
"Maki-san it's time to say something." The blue haired girl whispered. The girl snapped out of paralysis and jolted up, surprising her co-workers.
"I-I'm Nishikino M-Maki… Let's work t-together." She said in a quiet tone. Her co-workers looked at each other.
"Did you hear her?" Someone chirped.
"Did she say something?"
She couldn't take them whispering and muttering things, it bring out a lot of experiences. She was having a hard time just formulating words to say. Maki exhaled and gather all the courage she could muster.
'Haaa this is harder that I thought it would be.'
"L-Let's work t-together."
