Long and straight auburn hair paired with alluring caramel eyes.

'It's Avy Aile. I'm sure it's her. I remember her face clearly.'

How could Namae forget? Avy Aile was the person who won the billion dollars last night.

'My money-'

"Ah, that's her." Nobara whispered.

"Her? What do you mean?" Namae raised a brow.

"The last manager's replacement. She's our new manager now."

'WHAT?! SHE JUST WON A BILLION DOLLAR AND NOW SHE'S WORKING AS A MANAGER?!'

If it was Namae who won it, she would've ditched the company and leisure herself with that money!

'Why would she work here after winning a huge amount?'

Namae's sight transferred on Kana.

"????"

She noticed that Kana's expression was oddly different.

She looked more... Nervous.

'What's wrong with her?'

"Ito-san?" Namae tapped her shoulder.

"...!!...Huh? Yes?" Kana flinched.

"Are you alright?"

"Ah, ahaha, yes. I'm fine. I was just spacing out..." Kana glanced at the newly arrived manager.

"...."

'Whatever.'

"Greetings everyone. I am Avy Aile, your new manager. For now, let's exclude unnecessary pleasantries and go back to work."

Employees immediately went back to their workspace and so did Namae.

"You."

"???"

"Yes. You. I recognize you." Her gaze was as sharp as a knife.

Avy approached Namae's desk.

"....Pardon?"

"Follow me."

Avy walked out of the work office and ushered Namae to go with her.

'.....'

Namae was in a dilemma.

She didn't know what the heck was going on.

Namae stood up and walked towards the door.

Before leaving, she glanced at Kana and saw her same nervous expression from earlier. She looked like she had something to tell Namae.

*Slam*

...

*Tak*

*Tak*

"....."

"...."

Namae was behind Avy, still following her ever since she left her workspace.

Minutes of silence later, Avy finally opened a room and there they entered together.

*Clack*

It was the same room that their last manager used except the interior design was completely changed.

"Take a seat." Avy uttered.

Namae took a seat in front of her table and waited.

"....What did you call me for?" Namae asked.

"What's your name?" She looked straight at her.

"....It's Sei Namae, ma'am."

"Sei Namae... I remember you from last night. You were the one who won Madame Henrietta's aquarium. Am I wrong?"
