Aki gave her a kiss on the cheek before getting on the train for the city. He watched Miku get smaller and smaller so fast now she was gone he tried to give a final thought to his dilemma to try and find some way around this problem or perhaps a solution his tired mind couldn't think of till now. He spent the whole ride in vain.

Getting to the office his phone was silent for just enough time to set his briefcase down on the floor next to his desk.  It rang and Aki answered. "Hanzo, Logistical director for Takie industries."

"Hanzo! You have a full day to organize the new staff and by the end of the day the budget will allow you to keep two aides. The aids will be ready to interview by you at ten till lunch and then I want your decisions by end of day."

"Yes sir. Thank you." Hanzo waited until [i]he[/i] hung up first. Then Hanzo hung up the phone.

Aki looked at his watch. It was eight twenty five. He set everything up for the interview process. He looked outside his office after spending some extra time on ongoing projects and made some phone calls. He had already made a requisition order for tow more desks and chairs with computers. There was one woman in the hall. He kept his face stone and greeted her. "Are you here for the assistant interveiw? You're early. Ms?"

"Miss, ...Tanaka." She swept some of her long black hair behind an ear. Walking past she had a smallest hint of perfume. One after another Hanzo interviewed them, six in all, and worked through lunch. Looking over their resumes all were good workers but as always some stood out more then others. He used his white board and made the five top criteria for the position. Education, experience, work ethic, presentation, communication, and organization. Hanzo made some phone calls to prior employees and asked about their experiences. It was four P.M. Hanzo sent a email to the hiring staff to declare his top two candidates. He sent a blind CC to his boss. Using the last half hour to call his wife. No answer.

The hallway way narrow and not designed for a secretary in the front. They all had to share the space and that was challenging to say the least! Hanzo finally set up a double desk and had the monitor facing back to back. In  the space Hanzo use to sleep in. Now hopefully he could get ahead of his work load. He took the rest of the day to plot his work load into three subsections. Contacts sub section phone numbers, addresses, and emails. A Key to routing shipping receiving and import/ exports current and future. A directory to Company personnel, who they are and why their important. 

In the morning the furniture came and he set it up. Looking at the clock it was only 730 he already used the dry erase board to lay out the day as he could best describe it. Today would be the first day for the new hires and Hanzo had faith in their abilities. It was sink or swim day for them. Hanzo had no time to teach them more. He made some calls and sent out an email to all of his contacts as he shaved his face and made coffee. The email informed them of the two new points of contact. Miss Ejin, Miss Misuki who would be sending and receiving all future communications. Hanzo had a presentation at nine to the board about finding new options to their bottleneck in the overseas distribution center.
