Chapter 1 - Prolog

The morning sun shines on the morning that makes anyone who does morning activities such as; joggers, students, housewives who go to the market, office workers, employees at private companies, they feel the warm sun that hits their bodies in the morning.

In one of the apartment rooms on the second floor, a woman woke up to the sound of an alarm she set on her phone.

Half-consciously, the woman reached out to grab her phone, turned off the alarm and woke up from her sleep in a sitting position. Although she was still sleepy in a messy appearance, she still forced herself to walk into the bathroom to wash her face to refresh her face from sleepiness.

Once she finished washing her face in the bathroom, the woman's gray-eyed gaze led to a reflection of a mirror showing herself looking messy from her sleep, she only breathed a long breath.

"Well, I have to live my life strong today."

Shaking her head many times, the woman looked back at the mirror reflection of herself with a determined face, believing she could handle her work today.

Shaking her head many times, the woman looked back at the mirror reflection of herself with a determined face, believing she could handle her work today.

At 07:00, a gray medium-layer woman wearing a white suit with a knee-length skirt in the same color as a suit, with white stockings worn on her ankles and white shoes without heels, she locked the door to the apartment room. Down the stairs from the second floor to get to her company far enough.

"I think it's better if I order a driver."

Pressed by her cell phone as she walked from the ground floor to the outside of the apartment gate, she ordered drivers from her residence to her company, Fasde Company to shorten her time instead of using public facilities such as busway stops that took a long time.

While she was waiting outside the gate after ordering the driver, her mind drifted to a few days ago where she always got into trouble while working.

Start from; work overtime, people who like her but don't like her out of respect for her childhood friends, people who obsess over her, all that happens to her every time she works.

Fortunately, Takamiya Nia, a gray-haired medium-layer woman, was able to overcome her stress with her hobby as an otaku, making her forget about work issues and focus only on what she does at home such as reading comics and novels, watching anime.

About 15 minutes passed, she who was still waiting patiently hoped that she would not be late to enter the company whose entry time was around 8:00.

Thirty minutes passed, coincidentally Lamborghini Gallardo's car stopped right in front of him in black glass, the glass opened showing a man wearing sunglasses inside.

"Want to go to work together?"

"....."

Not answering an invitation from a brown quiff-haired man wearing sunglasses with a handsome face dressed in a black suit on his stout body, Nia only looked hard at him.

"Oh come on, I just wanted to give you a ride, nothing more than that."

Despite the man's words, Igarashi Yoga sounds indifferent and relaxed, Nia still cannot accept it because she knows that Yoga has other intentions than her invitation, so she anticipates it suspiciously.

"I don't need it! You go ahead!"

"Are you sure?"

Having chuckled for a moment while looking at Nia with a mocking face, Yoga, who raised his eyebrows, was curious about this.

"Yes, I'm sure. I'm fine if I'm late anyway, it's none of your business."

Hearing Nia's cold words, Yoga once again chuckles, he understands that he can't take her as he does to women in general who look at his from appearance, position, and wealth.

"Alright. If that's what you want, don't blame me if the boss scolds you."

"Yes."

Sealed by the black glass from the Lamborghini Gallardo car, the car drove fast regardless of Nia who remained patient waiting for the driver.

Shortly thereafter, the driver came and stopped right in front of Nia making Nia breathe a sigh of relief because she would not be late, she could reach the company in a short time with a driver vehicle in the form of a motorbike.

•••••

As soon as it entered the Fasde Company, a company engaged in delivery, both package delivery and food delivery, the company moved several years ago which now has branches in several areas in Japan.

Through the lobby on the ground floor, Nia also passes through two rooms on the left-right right side.

Both rooms are waiting rooms for customers who often order delivery services that complain directly on the left side, while guest rooms are exclusively for family guests and brothers who work for the company to meet them, They can wait in the guest room on the right.

Nia went up the stairs to the second floor.

On the second floor, she saw her two colleagues waiting for him to come, Nakano Luna and Mizuki Rin, both of whom were Nia's best friends who cared about her very much both when they were sorrow and happy, they were always by her side.

"Nia, I'm worried about you."

A woman with blonde blunt cut hair, a pair of pink eyes, has a beautiful face with narrow eyes, and has an ideal posture; she is about 160 cm tall, has a slender waist, a large chest size D Cup, and has prominent hips, she is Nakano Luna.

"That's right. If you're a little late, you'll be gossiped by the employees here, including Luna."

Next to Luna, Mizuki Rin, a woman with black butterfly haircut hair, a pair of orange eyes, has a more ideal and seductive look, and a more ideal and seductive posture; she is about 165 cm tall, with a slender waist, large breast-sized E Cup, a much more seductive hip than Luna makes fun of Luna.

"Oh come on, how could I have the heart to gossip about my best friend?"

Rin only chuckles at Luna's indifferent words as if she really did nothing, making Nia who sees the funny interaction between them just chuckles, entertained by their simple entertainment.

"Takamiya, you're here earlier than usual."

"Yes."

In front of Nia, a man who has silver side part hair to the right, a pair of navy blue eyes, has a handsome face and a dashing posture; he is about 170 cm tall, has hand muscles when the sleeves are folded, staring at Nia with a small smile.

"Jun, don't leave me!"

"Ah, sorry."

Igarashi Jun, the man with silver side part hair, realized that he had left his childhood friend, Minami Reina.

Upon realizing that Jun was talking to Nia, Reina's golden eyes directed at Nia made Nia just smile bitterly, understanding the gesture.

"Then I'll go first."

"Yes."

Jun does not realize that Nia is leaving because of Reina's keen gaze, leading her to think that Nia is truly an extraordinary woman who dedicates herself to her work.

In fact, Nia only wants to avoid problems from Reina, she doesn't want to get involved in an argument with her because it drains her energy. Instead of wasting her energy arguing with Reina, Nia chose to put all her energy into her job as a customer service because it was better than wasted because of something other than work.

Luna who approaches Rin gently whispers to her as they enter their room which becomes one with Nia's room.

"Hey, did you see that?"

"Yes, I see it."

"Why doesn't she like Nia?"

"Maybe it's because she's jealous of her."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

Those who sit on their seats at their respective work tables, happens to be Luna and Rin's seat next to each other, while Nia is next to Reina.

At 9:00 AM, calls are constantly being received by Nia endlessly.

"Welcome to customer service. Is there anything you can do to help?"

"Sorry, I wonder why my old parcel delivery man."

"Regarding that, the courier is delivering many packages so I hope you can understand it."

One call is complete, another call happens in the next few minutes.

"Welcome to customer service. Can I help you?"

"That's... Yes."

From the voice heard on the call, Nia understands that this voice sounds doubtful like a shy person so she is patient to hear the complaints made through the call.

"As a matter of fact... different mi-milikku packages... From what I ordered..."

Understanding the point of calling from shy people, Nia still maintains a professional attitude as a customer service, is friendly and still smiles even through phone calls.

"Regarding the complaint, you can come to the address I mentioned. There, our company will negotiate with you to see if you want to return the ordered item or re-order it."

"R-Right. Thank you very much. I-I'm sorry to trouble you."

Once the call is turned off from the shy person, Nia only breathes a long sigh as if she is confused as to why she has a lot of calls while the others are not in this room.

"Looks like you're really liked by them, huh?"

Near Luna's desk, Rin seduces Nia who is always able to receive calls from customers regarding their complaints to her as a customer service.

"Yeah, she's a real pro. Unlike the person next to her who is unpopular, she envies Nia."

Nia only smiles bitterly at Luna's words, knowing who she is referring to is Reina, the woman who looks at her with a sharp eye look as if irritated at this.

"Will you stop staring at me? It makes me uncomfortable."

Nia is eager to reprimand Reina for not looking at her like that, but she doesn't want to put her energy into an endless debate if she does so, so she just breathes a long breath, trying to be patient through this day.

In the other side on the third floor, Jun is busy with transporting one package to give to the other warehouse staff who plays the role of packing, his friend, a serious-faced man staring at Jun with a seductive face.

"You seem to care about Takamiya, Ishida."

"Yeah, that's it."

Jun confesses the words of a serious man who teases him, making a serious man surprised to hear Jun admit it.

"What about Minami's feelings?"

"Minami huh."

While contemplating silence, Jun thinks that he doesn't think Reina is so special because she is a childhood friend, he only considers her as his younger sister, nothing more than that.

Another man who was busy putting things in the warehouse said something to Juni.

"If you think that Minami is your sister, I'm worried about Takamiya being bullied by her all the time."

"....."

Once again, Jun realizes what his colleague said about it.

Indeed, Reina looks annoying when someone likes her, making it clear that she is jealous of the woman who approaches Jun.

Even though Jun had no feelings for Reina at all, Jun only considered her as his childhood friend and younger sister because Reina did look like that without any feelings at all.

Meanwhile, Nia, Jun sees her as a woman who dedicates herself to work, a woman who is neither retreating nor giving up, she always does her job well even though Reina and Yoga always do bad things to her.

•••••

At 12:00, Nia, who stretches her body after leaving her room, hopes to rest for lunch to fill her empty stomach.

Reina who left first without saying anything to Nia to the third floor to invite Jun to eat together, Luna and Rin approached their friend, Nia.

"Why does she hate me so much?"

"Just ignore her."

"Maybe she was jealous thinking that you took Ishida away from her."

Long-breathing sounds from Nia, she never thought of Jun as her love, she only thinks of him as a co-worker, nothing more than that.

However, it seems that Reina still thinks that she took Jun away from her, making Nia unable to do anything but hope that Jun can stop chasing her love for her.

"Let's take a break, Nia."

"Yes, you're right."

When Nia followed her two friends, Yoga, who was on the second floor, looked at Nia with a serious face.

"Where are you going, Takamiya?"

"That's... I want to go for lunch break."

By shaking his head twice, Yoga approached Nia, which made Luna and Rin know that their friends had to face difficult days as usual whenever they wanted to rest for lunch.

"You're not allowed to rest, a lot of work for you to do."

"Eh? But, I've finished it."

"It's not about customer service but other jobs."

Hearing Yoga assert this to her, Nia knows very well that she cannot get out of her sight when her lunch break has come for her.

"Fine."

Forcedly, Nia, who looks sad, returns to her room ignoring her two friends who stare in wonder at her.

"What's wrong? Is it not better for you to take a rest?"

"Y-yes, you're right."

"Let's go, Luna."

Without settling in their place, the two of them go down the basement stairs to the lobby and then leave their company to work to find a place to eat for their lunch.

"I feel sorry for Nia."

"Yes, you're right. Why would Igashi give her overtime work?"

"Yeah, that's what I don't understand."

Although the two of them don't understand why Yoga gives Nia overtime when she's about to take a lunch break, the only thing they know is that Yoga is a woman maniac, he always gets what he wants.

That's why he did this to Nia, trying to get close to Nia even though they both knew that Nia was not like other women who were approachable because of the wealth, position, and good looking of Yoga.
