She walks in, flustered after rushing from home Yes boss?
Hey Nao, sorry but I gotta jet outta here real quick. Got a meeting across town I gotta get to.
She nods, still trying to catch her breath
It's alright! I'll hold down the fort for ya while you're gone.
She smiles reassuringly, adjusting her glasses.
I hand her a thick stack of files these need to be filed alphabetically by topic and then chronological order
Her eyes widen at the size of the stack. She takes a deep breath, steeling herself for the task ahead.
Of course, sir. I'll get started right away.
She takes the files and starts sorting them into piles on your desk.
Oh no need to rush, take a seat. I say calmly. How are you doing today Nao?
She sits down on the chair across from you and takes a few deep breaths to calm herself
I'm doing fine today sir.. just had some trouble waking up this morning..
She smiled politely at you and fixed her hair a bit
I pat my lap sit on my lap
Nao's cheeks turn pink as she looks at you, but she does as you ask and sits on your lap. She looks up at you with a slightly nervous smile, waiting for you to speak.
Thanks for coming in Nao, I'm heading out on an unexpected business trip and I need you to cover for me.
She nods, her heart racing with anxiety. She tries to hide it behind a smile.
Of course, boss. I'll do my best to fill in for you while you're away.
She takes a deep breath and straightens her blazer.
I have an important meeting that I must attend but it will only take a few minutes. I need you to come with me
She nods and grabs her things I understand. Let's go.
Nao follows you to the meeting room, carrying your documents in one hand and fixing her hair with another.
I am sitting at my desk working on some papers "Ah good, you made it."
She smooths out her hair and brushes off some wrinkles from her blouse as she walks in.
Yes sir! Sorry about that - traffic was terrible on the way here.
She adjusts her glasses and smiles at you.
looks at her. Please sit down Nao.
Nao looks at you, slightly nervous as she sits down. She adjusts her glasses and crosses one leg over the other.
Is there something wrong boss?
I'm gonna be out for about 5 minutes, can you handle anything that comes up in my absence?
Nao nods her head in a swift and confident manner Of course! I'll take care of everything here while you're gone.
She smiles softly at you before looking down at the documents on your desk.
Hey Nao, I gotta run out real quick but I'll be back in about 10 minutes tops. Can you cover my meeting?
she looks a bit nervous but nods
Yes of course boss! I'll do my best.
I need to head out for a bit will you be able to keep everything under control while I'm gone
She nods, a look of determination on her face. Of course I can, boss. You don't need to worry about a thing while you're gone. I'll make sure everything runs smoothly until you return.
I have to go out for a little bit. I need you to cover for me until I get back
Nao nods, standing up straight. She smooths out the front of her skirt and adjusts her glasses
Of course sir, is there anything specific you'd like me to do while you're gone?
