"Kyoko, this is the sales report on the new product that you had asked for," Kumiko said, handing the report to Kyoko.

"Thank you, how has the new product been selling in our Soho store?" Kyoko asked, opening the file and looking through the report.

"According to the store, the new lipstick has been flying off the shelves and they can't keep up with demand" Kumiko answered.

"Hmmm...Since the product has been selling really well in the Soho store as a test run, we might as well expand the product to all the stores. Have there been any complaints about the product from the customers?" Kyoko asked.

"Yes, there have been some customers wishing that there were more shades of the lipstick so that it is more inclusive," Kumiko replied.

"More shades, inclusiveness, got it. I'll bring it up at the meeting. Thanks, Kumiko" Kyoko said, stepping into the glass elevator that only those close to the CEO can use.

As Kyoko looked around her surroundings through the elevator, she smiled, taking in the scenery of the people walking and running through the hallways on each floor. Kyoko had always loved working in Queen Enterprises. Why? Because she can see her childhood friend, Sho, all the time! She always believed that she and Sho were meant for each other; they lived and grew up together ever since she was 5 years old. At that time, her mother worked for Sho's family as a secretary. Sho's family owned a small company, importing beauty products from China and the company expanded to not only importing beauty products from all over Asia, but they started to manufacture their own fashion line, from undergarments, coats, jackets, shirts, and shoes to their very own cosmetic line. Now, Queen Enterprises became a household name and Kyoko felt extremely lucky to be working for such an amazing company, right beside her love.

Ding! The elevator stopped at top floor, Kyoko stepped off and started towards the stairs to the CEO's office. No matter how many years Kyoko had been working on this floor, she always finds the top floor scenery that overlooks the Hudson River, the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island, breathtaking. The stairway is decorated with specific years in which Queen Enterprises had reached a milestone, 2003, the year Fuwa Sho's family started their small company, 2008, the year Queen Enterprises was established, 2011, the year Queen Enterprises opened its very first shop, 2013, the year the company opened 50 shops internationally, 2015, the year the company went public, 2018, the year the company was listed as one of the nation's top companies. Kyoko stopped in front of the sliding door, as she about to knock on the door, she heard a moan, "Oh, Mimori, nobody makes me feel for you the way you do" Kyoko froze, that's Sho's voice!

"Sho, you're such a tease! What about Kyoko, your fiancé?" Mimori giggled

"Who cares about Kyoko? My parents chose her to be my fiancé so she's only a fiancée by name only. Like hell I will marry such a boring girl, she's only good for cooking, cleaning, and making sure my company doesn't go bankrupt"

"My, Sho, It sounds like you treat her like a maid."

"Like a maid? She is one! As if I will like such a dull woman who has no sense of sex appeal! But enough about Kyoko, come and finish me off, baby" Sho's voice cooed.

Kyoko can't believe what she heard, a maid?! After all the things that I had done for you and your company, and you treat me like a maid?! She angrily thought as she felt a tear dripping down her face, her hands folded into fists, and she stomped into Sho's office, throwing the folder she was holding at Sho's head.

"Ow, what was that for, you…! Kyoko! When did you get here?" Sho gasped as he hurriedly zipped up his pants, and shooing Mimori, who was fixing her ruffled dress, out of his office, "this is not what it looks like, Kyoko!"

"Why should I care what this looks like, Shoutaro? I am just a maid after all. Oh and this seems wasted on such a dull woman who has no sense of sex appeal. Here, you can have this back!" Kyoko said, slipping the diamond ring that Sho gave her last week, and throwing it at his feet, "As of this very moment, I quit! Hope your company doesn't go bankrupt!" Kyoko exclaimed and walked out of the office to her desk, grabbing her coat and bag, stepping into the elevator. Once she reached the main floor, she ran out of the building to her car. She drove to Sho's family mansion in Long Island and quickly dashed into her room to pack up her things.

She was about to exit through the front door when the front door opened, and there stood Auntie Yayoi and Uncle Katagiri. "Oh, hi Kyoko-chan! Why are you back so soon? Don't you have to help Sho at a meeting today?" Auntie Yayoi asked. Kyoko kept quiet, she didn't know how to answer her question. "Why do you have a suitcase Kyoko? Are you going somewhere?" Auntie Yayoi asked, noticing the suitcase.

"I'm sorry, Auntie Yayoi, Uncle Katagiri," Kyoko answered and walked past them to her car, and drove away. She didn't know where she was going, but she knew she needed to get away, far away from Sho.
