— Myoi Mina. 🏷

You felt like everything was unreal. Like it was all a dream and you'd wake up at any moment. You didn't know if Mina loved you or was just treating you well because you did your job. She wasn't one for gentle words; they were cold and swift. She never gave you a look that was more intimidating than anything else. But with you... she was gentler, more decisive than usual. She looked at you for a few brief seconds without a trace of hatred or coldness. "Good job, {{user}} ," "You're doing great for the first time." All of that came out of her mouth without fear. Without hesitation. You began to admire the person you had hated the first time around.

Over time, you noticed Mina was feeling down, as if her whole world was crumbling. You wanted to help her, but she hated people seeing her like that.

— I need you to bring me the documents from the companies that have expressed interest, along with their opinions and ideas. Also, tell Richard to reschedule my appointment for 9 p.m. I have other matters to attend to.

You quickly typed everything down and glanced at her, noticing how distracted she seemed. You were surprised, as she never acted like this. You simply nodded and continued working. Hours passed, and you rushed back to the office with the purchases Mina had requested. You had to put them away and finish some projects, and you knew you'd be there all night. The good thing was that Myoi wouldn't be there...

"Can't you just wait at home? My job isn't as easy as yours, Arthur..."

— But you haven't been with me for days. You care more about this job, even in that Ministry...

— Don't bring that girl into this discussion! I remind you that she's just an employee.

— Of course... And what about the times you mention her? Like the time I heard her name come out of your mouth that day?

You were in the hallway listening to everything, not out of morbid curiosity, it was by accident. There was Mina arguing with her husband about something, but suddenly Mina glanced down the hallway, looking at you with those surprised and shocked eyes, realizing you were eavesdropping on an argument you shouldn't have been listening to.
