Hello everyone! :D
Since I am feeling accomplished for this day, I have decided to post this chapter today too (right after posting the third chapter) since I am done editing it J 2 chapter in 1 night haha! \m/
I actually had a quite hard time knowing job positions are needed for a designing agency so I still googled it and found the appropriate ones to be used for this story. Nevertheless, I'll give ideas what their job positions are all about so that you won't end up naïve just like me J)

Chapter 4:
How a work place should sound
Seeing their excited customers and being able to please them made Tomoyo feel more eager to create more design for Hikaru's products. After the busy opening and first customers who pledge to buy their products, Hikaru presented Tomoyo her new office. It was located on the third floor of the story building, with the people that she needed that Hikaru hired for her like Tomoyo's new assistant and secretary, Naoko who is responsible in making letters of approval together with technical designer Rika, assisting everyone on their floor, reminding them all big and small reminders every day from the main office of Hikaru and Tomoyo like meetings and some sorts and her material assistant manager or rather the technical designer Rika who is responsible for assisting the design team and knows perfectly and assist Tomoyo on what type or kind of material is to be used for a certain design , and Chiharu as Tomoyo's associate designer who is experienced in non-leather materials.
They all seemed nice people and are very eager to work and help with her designing job. Tomoyo's floor is where her office is found, being the biggest room on the floor, outside her office was her assistant's desk and on the further left side of the floor is her technical and associate designer's mini office. On the further right side of the floor are two average rooms, first room, where manikins, tall closets, and desks where all of the bags are placed and the second room is where they can weave, stitch or do other products as for their original models. Their floor is composed of glass windows but tints where added to lessen the exposure of direct sunlight on their floor. Their floor is considered as the "designing floor" for this where all the magic of designing and creativity of Tomoyo for Hikaru's products are spread and applied. Their floor is never left dull, being known as the floor of designing, full of proper sizes of flower pots with the right amount of flowers blooming, continuing to spread sweet scent to give good aura to each and every one who is working around the area.
With this, Tomoyo couldn't even feel more grateful to Hikaru for providing her with such a wonderful place to work on and a group who are very much eager to work with her and share with her what she truly loved doing. It will even inspire her more to focus on her work and create more desiring designs.
As for Tomoyo's office, it is wide enough for her to move a lot, a table wide enough for her to place all of her things, a cabinet on the left side, a tiny coffee table with a bowl of candies and can of biscuits, in case of any visitors and a tiny bathroom for her on the other side. Everything in the room seems balanced and well organized, just the way an office she would want to have.
"I need to design prettier and more sophisticated bags, while I need to provide new designs for a new batch of scarfs for bags for next month's new collection. I also need to consider the designs that are not only applicable for the adults, but Hikaru is aiming for some new bag designs for kids then next, teenagers. In short, I will need to provide new proposed designs like, a bunch starting for next month." Tomoyo exclaimed in front of her co-workers, at the meeting that she had called on the day after their big opening.
"Alright then, so with that, we will need a number of new materials to try and see whether they'll work out with your proposed designs then, right Ms. Tomoyo?" Rika asked anxiously because she will still need to submit a permit and list of expenditures for their new proposed designs and products.
"Ah, yes. You can ask Naoko for some help in terms of making papers to submit on Hikaru's office for the approval of the designs."
Tomoyo's day went busy after having that meeting. She will draw all around, making designs first for their unsatisfied costumers the other day, then after designs for the bags will be the accessories for the bags. It is tough for Tomoyo to finish hurrying things up all in just a week, because per design takes her at least 2 to 3 days to finish. She will need to take note what particular materials or cloth are to be used, then talk it over with her assigned assistant agent in deciding cloths and materials to be used for their newly proposed product, then she will check the final products once again and then check the final papers her Rika and Naoko have finished, making sure that it is correct and accurate once passed to Hikaru for approval. Indeed it is making her busy, but this is what she wanted. A fresh new start with her career, doing what she loves while making efforts to earn her own money. She cannot just ask other, ordinary people to do the job for her because it is too complicated for a person who knows little in this field, then ending up having their new business fail. She alone, even keeping her tired and busy, can work things out very well, just the way she, Hikaru and all of her crew likes it to happen.
"I think I can do this pretty well! Well, never mind being busy a lot though every day, at least I am not bored, I am making my own money, I am helping my friend and I am happy. There is no other way I can be even sadder than this." Tomoyo had persuaded herself.
