-Day 54: Misaki's first day-
"You're gonna be fine Misaki. This isn't much different from your other tasks," Misaki said trying to pump herself up as she would soon meet her new colleagues. Today was her first day working at the embassy in England and one of her biggest tasks since she became a diplomat. A task like this would show a lot of experience on her resume for the future and hopefully, it would lead to a promotion. She wanted to work hard with every job handed to her and climb the ranks of a diplomat.
To most, being given the task to fix the international issues being experienced at the Japanese embassy in England might seem like a hard task but Misaki believed if you didn't showcase your skills in many different scenarios then you weren't fully proving yourself. The fact that her superiors trusted her with this job also filled her with even more excitement,
"This place will function perfectly in a year," She promised herself. Misaki would surely do everything in her power to achieve this dream.
She would devote all her time and energy-ok maybe not all. Misaki had also promised Takumi she would not overwork herself again.
"I should download a time management app or get a book," Misaki muttered making a mental note of that.
"Mrs. Usui, nice to meet you. I am Haruto Yamamoto, the public relations officer hired to ensure your interview for the embassy page meets the required standard. There's a space set up for you to get headshots and other photos for the page. Please follow me this way," Mr. Yamamoto stepped aside for Misaki to leave the waiting room. "I've been informed you already met a few of the officers here. Unfortunately, the head of management has left and weren't able to greet you."

Interest: Reading books or socializing.
"Yes however we've spoken over the phone and she's told me about the interview and the plans for today. It can't be helped that something came up," Misaki responded looking around at the parts of the embassy she was walking by.
"You are very understanding Mrs. Usui. You have a big relation with the Raven castle so people may not want to offend you. Please also understand if they seem a little distant," Haruto spoke. He too was a little wary of upsetting her.
"It would be nice if they just look at me as a diplomat as that is what I am. I don't want to mix work with personal matters therefore where I live and who I live with should not matter when it comes to my job. I could see why it may be awkward at first but I hope everyone will welcome me warmly. You too Mr. Yamamoto," Misaki smiled continuing to examine the offices.
"Thank you, Mrs. Usui. I have to make sure your public image in England, as well as the embassy, remains intact with the public so I look forward to working with you in the future. Oh! Many of the staff have gathered here, let me introduce you in place of Hana," Haruto said stopping in front of the lunchroom where the staff had gathered. They could see the staff from the outside as most of the rooms and offices were designed with a lot of glass walls. He opened the door for Misaki to enter.
"Thank you," Misaki respectively bowed at his gentleman behavior.
"Everyone, gather around," Haruto said gaining everyone's attention. They whispered amongst each other at Misaki's arrival. "I'm sure you've heard about the arrival of Misaki Usui. She's the new diplomat in charge of the affairs of the embassy. Hana has stepped out for a while but while she's gone we should all take it upon ourselves to welcome Misaki Usui."
"Nice to meet everyone. I hope we work hard together in the future. Please feel free to communicate anything with me at any time," Misaki stated then it was followed by the staff clapping to welcome her. Some walked up and greeted her while others preferred to be at a distance.
"I have to take you to the room for the interview."
"Oh yes, Goodbye everyone," Misaki bowed and trailed behind Haruto. So far everyone seemed nice and welcoming.
"So they hired a doll for show," Kei Sato spoke earning a few laughs from his colleagues. "Her husband's family is huge so they decide to stick her here and hope her connections work. Let's prepare to be burdened with all her work everyone."

A/N: Takumi's rival has arrived! This is not a drama story but you know in life people will be interested in your partner sometimes. Manga's do this a lot so I'm following that and your recommendations. You won't hate Kei in the future though. Also starting the warning that a SMUT chapter is coming up soon for anyone who doesn't want to read it. When that chapter is posted I'll put a WARNING at the beginning of the chapter.
