Minako Aino Diary
Dear Diary,
I find it rather ridiculous that Ami gave me a diary for my birthday, but I suppose there are worse gifts to get. I promised her that I would attempt to write in you on a regular basis, but I make no promises.
Minako
Dear Diary,
I just got a new job. At this point, I'm thrilled to get any job, but this one seems pretty interesting. I'm going to be the personal assistant for an editor at a major publishing house. Maybe I'll get to meet famous authors. My parents are of course upset. They've been wanting me to go back into modeling, and the fact that I haven't been able to get a job until now has just fueled their fire. They were hoping I would give up on having a career outside of entertainment. But I want to at least get through college without having to deal with all of that added pressure. Of course, my parents would have preferred I just skip college all together, but I insisted on going. I refuse to have nothing to fall back on if acting and modeling ever fails me.
Minako
Dear Diary,
Well, my new boss is an absolute rock. If it weren't for the fact that I actually have seen him move, he could be a statue. A good looking statue for sure. He's actually really cute, though it would be better if he smiled more. Six feet tall in immaculately tailored suits, grey-green eyes, and silver white hair pulled back in a neat tail. Kitahoshi Ishi might be nice to look at, but I've yet to see him display any emotion. He really has mastered the art of being stoic. I'll give him that.
Other than that, my job is really boring. I got a tour of the office building, and then I spent my day filing paperwork and keeping track of my boss' upcoming appointments. Not that he really needs me to. I swear that he already knows every thing I told him about on his schedule. And the man really is organized. He reminds me of Ami that way. So, boring job, boring if hot boss. This is not off to a great start.
Minako
Dear Diary,
Work is still boring. Today I got to pull files for my boss. Who is grumpy and doesn't seem to have a sense of humor. Oh joy. I don't think his expression changed all day. Well, at least I'm getting paid for not doing much. Still, this is hardly what I thought I was signing up for.
Mina
Dear Diary,
I really don't know what to say. I realize that it's been a few weeks since I've last written. Nothing much has really happened. At least until today. Work has pretty much been the same, though I have to admit that I finally made some friends with the other people at the office. Not the other Pas. They don't really like me all that much. But a couple of the other editors are nice, and there's this friend of Mr. Ishi who drops by on a regular basis whose lots of fun to chat with. He's a doctor of some sort.
But anyway, today was odd to say the least. A woman came in without an appointment. Which happens on occasion. But even I could tell that this lady was bad news. And she wasn't taking no for an answer when she wanted to see Mr. Ishi. She got pretty nasty about it too. I was on the verge of being nasty back when Mr. Ishi came out of his office. I'd never seen the expression on his face before. What happened next was impressive.
Without even raising his voice, he reamed the woman out (apparently her name was Beryl Metallica) and threatened her with legal action. She left soon after that. By itself that had been rather startling, but then he turned to me and asked if I was all right. Then he told me to ignore anything that she had said to me and to take twenty minutes if I thought I needed to. I'm really not sure what to make of that.
Mina
Dear Diary,
WhenI came back with their drinks (and one for me, they had given me extra money for that), I found them huddled around Mr. Ishi's desk looking atsome thing on his computer. The four of them looked startled when I entered with their drinks. I handed around the coffee and that wouldhave been the end of it except, one of the blonds asked me what I thought an appropriate apology gift when someone's stalker ex-girlfriend starts harassing the girl you are now interested in.
That is something I know something about. Having spent my life in show business since I was a toddler, I've seen stalking and its aftermath. And I know how to deal with it. I've actually been stalked myself a couple times. It's one of the reasons I wanted to have some job experience outside of being a model or an actress. It took a little investigating on my part to get to the heart of the matter.
As it turned out, none of the men present were the guy with the stalker. It was a mutual friend of theirs who was in the fix. She was younger than him, and this was her first serious relationship, and now he was worried that the fact that he hadn't told her about Beryl and their past was jeopardizing the future of their relationship. I appreciate that they wanted to protect their friend, but if they wanted advice, I need details.
In the end, I suggested that their friend go with a combination of things. Honesty, for one, because the girl really needed to know just what the situation was and what she was getting into with this. Also, if there was anything that that could ruin a relationship it was having on party being left out of the loop. I also suggested that he do something really nice for her as well, like watching the entire Lizzie Bennet Dairies with her. Something that involved his time because more than that showed more than anything what was important to him.
After that, I went back to work, and the day went back to normal. At least until the end of the day when Mr. Ishi came out of his office, thanked me, and told me to go home early, that I'd earned it. So today was interesting. And my boss isn't quite as hard-hearted as I thought he way.
Mina
Dear Diary,
Well, I think I might be dating my boss. To tell the truth, I'm not sure. Things have changed since I helped him and his friends out that afternoon. Though I have to admit that that whole mess turned out well. The weirdest part is I didn't find out how it turned out from Kitahoshi. I heard about it from Usagi. As it turned out, she was the new girlfriend in the situation. I guess I can see Mamoru with a crazy stalker ex. He is a cute doctor in training after all. Still, it's kind of weird the way that worked out.
Anyway, since that afternoon Kitahoshi actually started talking to me about things other than my tasks for the day. I'm not sure how we got on to the topic of popular movies based on books, but we spent my entire lunch break talking about it. After that, Kitahoshi joined me for lunch on a regular basis. And when we went out to lunch last week, he paid. So maybe we're dating?
I have to admit that I like him great deal now that I've gotten to know him. He does not give a very good first impression, but I can forgive him that I suppose. It's not exactly easy to throw a first impression out the window, but I am trying as I get to know him better. And he always has treated me like I'm a thinking human being, which is more than I can say for some people. So, that's really the only major thing to happen as of late.
Mina
Dear Diary,
So I am definitely dating Kitahoshi Ishi. Given that we spent the evening at publishing event avoiding people and stealing kisses when no one was looking, I'd be a little annoyed if we weren't. That's the good news. The bad news is I'm no longer his PA. Well, it's not exactly bad news. I'm not Kitahoshi's PA anymore because I have a new job. One that's much better. I'm now working with the team that handles movie adaptations of this publisher's books. It's pretty good so far.
Like everything else with this place, the job change came about in a slightly convoluted way. Kitahoshi's friend, Zach Kawatani, had dropped by and the three of us were discussing the latest bestseller turned into a movie which had gotten a horrible reaction from the fans. I was in the middle of explaining exactly where they went wrong with the casting when this older woman comes over to my desk where we were talking. She asked me a couple of questions about some movie and mini-series adaptations. And admittedly, if I know any thing, it's the entertainment industry. After another few minutes of conversation, the woman turns to Kitahoshi and asks.
"And she's working as your PA why?"
And with a completely straight face he replies, "Because HR doesn't know what else to do with former actresses?"
Half an hour I had a job offer and Kitahoshi had kissed me in front of his boss. I can't say I'll really miss being a PA, but I think I'll miss being in the same office as my boyfriend. Over all, though I have to say that this venture into the normal working world has been a good one so far, and I've proved my parents wrong. I'm pretty please with that. And I some how met a decent guy who actually interested in me, not my fame.
So, go me. I knew that this was the right choice.
