Hey. Here's the next chapter. Hope you enjoy it.

Serena went over to her desk and took her seat in her chair. She noticed that she had received an email. She thought about just reading it later, but since her boss wouldn't be here for at least three more minutes, she opened it.

Serena,

Don't think about this too much. It is basically just another guy coming to take over. Who cares? Besides, we probably won't ever see him and if we do, it will be just a glimpse here and there in the halls. Don't fret, okay? I'm here for you.

Mina

She had such good friends, including not only Mina, but Raye, Lita and Amy. Thank goodness that Mina worked as a secretary in the same building as her, for she kept her sane during the stress of her work. Mina could always know what she was going through when it came to work. Raye had, of course, taken over her grandfather's temple after he had retired. Grandpa Hino still insisted to help out, though. Lita fulfilled her dream of becoming a chef and owning the best restaurant. She was the owner of Jupiter's Moons, soon to be the most popular restaurants in Japan. Lita was already talking about putting other restaurants all over Japan and later, the world. As for Amy, she, too, accomplished her dream. She was currently the best doctor in Tokyo. Amy Mizuno was almost always at work, but when she wasn't, she spent as much time as possible being with her best friends. All of the girls had made it in life one way or another, but none of them were, yet, married. They all figured that when the time was right, The One would come.

Serena replied to the email saying thanks. Mr. Greenwood entered the office right on time.

"Good morning, Serena," Mr. Greenwood greeted his secretary. She smiled at him.

"Good morning, it is, Mr. Greenwood," she acknowledged, "How was your evening?"

"It was good. Mrs. Greenwood made an amazing dinner, since the kids were coming," Mr. and Mrs. Greenwood's children were grown up now, but they came over for a family dinner every Sunday. They had two children and the oldest, John, had a young son and a wife. Their daughter, Cathy, was currently dating a nice guy, and her father kept telling Serena that he was sure he was going to propose pretty soon, "How was your weekend, Serena? Did you and your friends have another big sleepover again?"

She laughed, for her and the girls almost always had a sleepover during the weekend. It usually took place at her and Mina's penthouse because it was probably the best, "Yes, sir, we did. It was loads of fun, as well. We finished five tubs of ice cream in three hours. I can't say if we were eating it or not, though, it's confidential."

Mr. Greenwood chuckled, "I bet so. Glad you had a nice weekend. I'll buzz if I need anything." And he entered into the door to the right of Serena's desk that led into his private office.

The rest of the morning was mostly quite. Mr. Greenwood would occasionally buzz Serena in to give her work or ask her questions. Serena would be busy with the paperwork until noon. When the clock hit 12, Serena had to help her boss get prepared for his meeting at one. The paperwork that she had been working on was for the meeting and it was finished. She put it in a folder for Mr. Greenwood to take with him.

Before they new it, it was five till, so they made their way down to the conference room. Mr. Greenwood took his seat at the oval shaped table, while Serena took a seat in a chair against the wall behind him. Mr. River and Mina soon followed in and took the right seats beside Serena's boss and herself.

"Hey," Mina leaned over and whispered to Serena.

"Hey," Serena whispered back, "Did you get your work done for the meeting?"

"Yeah, right on the nick of time, too," Mina answered. They both knew that Serena had finished her work before the meeting with plenty of time left. The meeting started.

Meetings were usually boring for Mina and Serena, but this one seemed important for everyone. They both were doing their jobs wonderfully for the bosses as secretary, by doing what was asked of them. At one point, Mina was even asked to go get Mr. River a cup of coffee. After the main discussion was finished, a topic that was unexpected was brought up.

"I'm sure you all have read the emails about Mr. Long retiring. It had also said that Mr. Shields will be returning in two days. This is true," Mr. Smith announced, "But that is not what I am going to address, Mr. Shields is being accompanied by four other gentlemen, Mr. Knight, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Stanton, and Mr. Powers. Out of the four, Mr. Knight will be the only one working here, as the Vice President. They need two secretaries. I have been discussing the two ladies that I want to take the position with their bosses. Miss Serena Tsukino and Miss Mina Aino, Mr. Greenwood, Mr. River and myself, as well as all these other gentlemen, would like you to take up the position. What do you say, ladies?"

Serena and Mina sat in their chairs shocked speechless. They wanted them to be their secretaries? This was a big opportunity! It even meant a raise, a big one. Everyone was looking at the young ladies in question waiting for an answer, or at least a movement.

"Umm…," Mina and Serena stuttered.

"Serena, Mina, what do you say? It is fine by us if you accept," Mr. Greenwood said to them. The two looked at each other quickly and knew it would be best to take it.

"We accept," They both said in unison.

Well, that is that! I posted that up pretty quick. I guess it's because I've been lazy all day, since I can't see my boyfriend today. I hope you enjoyed that. And keep watch for Chapter 2! Thanks!
