It all started when their client came on July 5th.
Mai slammed her hand down on her alarm clock to stop the constant beeping noise. She swore she had turned that thing off just five minutes ago. She groaned and opened her eyes and picked up her phone and answered it. " Naru stop calling me-" she stopped when she heard someone chuckling 'wait naru does not chuckle and this sounds more female' "So the way you greet a friend is by calling them a narcissist. Wow, you have changed huh?" The person on the other side said.
"Wait is that you, Zero?" Mai practically screamed sitting up in bed fully awake now.
"Well, who else would it be? Didn't you get my text message yesterday, or did you think that person had the wrong number eh?" Zero responded with slight chuckle in her voice. "Oh and if your wondering why I am calling it's because you need to get to work so ja ne." With that said she hung up.
Mai jumped out of bed and quickly got ready. By the time she was done it was 7:20. She quickly grabbed her keys and phone and ran out the door but not without locking it. From there she ran all the way to work like usual and entered SPR. When she walked in Naru and Lin looked at her in slight surprise. Being confused as to their surprise she turned to look at the clock witch said 7:28.
She turned and looked at them again when Naru started speaking.
"Mai for once you are early maybe I am finally getting through your stupidity and to the actual little brains you have left." He stated rudely.
Mai glared at him and spoke "No I'm early because Zero woke me up and told me to go to work. So I just happened to be early." Afterwards she muttered some rude names of said narcissist.
Naru raised a eyebrow at this and asked "Who is Zero? A boyfriend?" It would be an under statement to say he was only a little curious. When he asked though Lin stiffened slightly. Naru knew that Lin was in love with Mai. Though nobody else knew.
Mai grinned, but shook her head "No, Zero is a friend of mine from a few years ago. She left to live with her grandparents. We haven't spoke since she left."
Lin relaxed slightly now knowing that this Zero was a girl. When he reassured he walked away to his office.
Naru continued to question the girl "So how old is Zero?" questioned Naru.
"17 why?" responded Mai.
"Because I'm your boss and need to know these things." stated Naru before he turned around to go to his office, but stopped at the door and said "Oh and Mai… Tea." Then he disappeared into his office.
