"Erm.. That."
Aya pointed at the five models.

"Why are you looking at them?"

"I just wanted to see how.."

"How they pose? It's none of your business is it? Now is not your resting time."
Masami shouted as she interrupted Aya.

"But she's done with her work."
Satoshi defended Aya.

"Oh, you. Why are you here? This is not your floor."

"Can't he just come and see? He's done his work as well!"
Aya got pissed and shouted back at her. For a second, she didn't care whether she was in control of people or she was above Aya's level. She was angry about her attitude towards the staffs. She handed over pile of sheets with all the measurements done.

"You think this is the only work you people get? NO."
No one ever shouted back at Masami before. Her anger was at the top of the hill.

"Ehem. We're taking photos here."
The camera man stopped and informed the two girls. Everyone at the floor was looking at them.

"Does photos take in noise? NO. What's your problem?"
Masami shouted at the camera man. He couldn't say anything more.

"What's your problem? You think you can say anything just because you're the only top designer?"
Satoshi pushed Masami's shoulder with anger.

Just then, everyone gasped. The president came in and went closer to the fighting scene. He now clearly could see what was going on.

"SHE PUSHED ME!"
Masami pointed at Aya and hid behind Kazunari.

"I just came to see how you are doing and this is what you do on the first day?"
Kazunari looked at Aya with a disappointment.

"She's lying! I'm the one who pushed her. Not Aya."
Satoshi stepped out. He glared fiercely at Masami.

"Masami?"
Kazunari turned behind to see Masami.

"Nino, are you going to believe him? Believe me, Nino. She pushed me."
Masami held his shoulder and looked over to Aya.

"Did I just heard her call the president NINO?"
Mao whispered at the photo stage.

"I heard it too."
Sho nodded, standing beside Mao.

"Oh. My. God. I think the rumor was right."
Erika just blined.

"Nagasawa-san..."
Jun was in a shock.

"Well, the only truth I know is that someone pushed Masami as I could see from far. And why did that someone pushed her?"
Kazunari sighed. He couldn't decide who to believe.

"I said it was me."
Satoshi repeated.

"I pushed her because she was being mad and crazy."

"He's just protecting her."
Masami pointed at Aya again.

"Why are you blaming on Ueto-san? What is your problem?"
Masaki came over, walking from the stage towards Masami.

"We all saw what happened. We saw everything."
He continued. No other staffs wanted to say anything before Masaki since they were afraid of Masami.

"Argh. Whatever.."
Masami felt she can't do anything now and went away.

"Right. Come on, five of you. The photo shoot is not done yet."
The camera man clapped his hands and everyone started to move once more.

"Aiba-san."
Aya held on Masaki's arm when he was moving away.

"Thank you."
Aya smiled.

"It was nothing."
Said Masaki, disappeared to the stage.

"Satoshiiii. Thanks as well. You were really brave. I bet everyone else thinks the same."
Aya hugged Satoshi, just as a friend.

"Wha? What. I just said the truth."

"I'm sorry Ueto-san. I had misunderstood you. Forgive me."
Kazunari came over and bowed with apology.

"I'm fine. It was quite my fault too. If I wasn't resting, none of this would have happened."
Aya felt sorry for Masami after this incident and the embarrasment she got infront of all the people.

"I'll talk to her later. You're work is done today, you can go home."
Kazunari told Aya and Satoshi and left the scene.

"Aya, lets-"

"I'm gonna find Nagasawa-san now. Bye, Satoshi!"
Without listening to Satoshi, Aya rushed out of the photo studio. She needed to talk to her.

"She never changed."
Satoshi smiled.
