"Hello?"

"Oh, Niko I didn't expect you to pick up the call."

"Well I picked up the call. So why did you call me? Aren't you suppose to be at work?"

"I just wanted to ask if you had time for lunch today."

"I think I can squeeze in some time at around 12pm."

"That's great I guess I will see you at the cafe near UA at 12," Niko hummed in reply and ended the call after saying goodbye.

"Hitori-san your coffee is ready," Kaito said as he pushed the door open with his foot.

"Thank you Kaito. Can you add lunch at 12pm to my schedule I am going out for lunch with my friend," Niko said as she took her coffee from Kaito.

Kaito nodded in reply as he walked back to his desk and added lunch to Niko's schedule. About an hour later it was time for the meeting.

"Hitori-san it's time for the meeting," Niko looked at her watch as she got up from her seat and grabbed her laptop and coffee.

Inside the meeting room, she saw most of the employees already seated she smiled satisfied that she didn't have to wait for anyone as she took a seat at the head of the table.

"Good morning everyone, as all of you know I am Niko Hitori and this is my assistant Kaito Arai I will be in charge of this store for the time being. Today's meeting will be about the new arrivals, who's will be presenting their idea?"

A petite young woman stood up from her seat as went to the screen to begin her presentation.

"Good morning, I am Lee EunHye I just transferred here from the branch in Korea. I will be sharing about the new arrivals today."

"That was fantastic EunHye we shall follow this arrangement for the new sales then. Anyone disagrees?" Niko asked as she scanned through the sea of unfamiliar faces.

"Good. The meeting is over you may get back to your own work." Niko said as she stood up and left the meeting room to go back to her office.

"Which branch was Lee EunHye from?" Niko questioned as she sat down.

"She was from the marketing department at the Busan branch."

"Mm she has good ideas for someone who was from the marketing department."

"Is that a sign for a future promotion Hitori-san?"

"Yep note that down will you," Niko said as she took another sip of her coffee.

"Hitori-san it's time to head over to the warehouse to check on the new arrivals," Kaito said as he grabbed his coat from his chair.

"That was fast," Niko sighed as she grabbed her brown trench coat from the coat hanger by the door before she walked out of the door to where her car was parked.

In the car

"Hitori-san I have sent you the document for the new arrivals a few minutes ago can you take a look at it before we reach the warehouse?" Kaito asked as he started the engine.

"Okay where did you send it?"

"Its in your ipad Hitori-san."

Niko grabbed her ipad which was by her side and switched it on to start reviewing the new arrivals. It was a peaceful ride until the car came to an abrupt stop.

"Kaito what's wrong?" Niko questioned.

"There seems to be a villain blocking the way," Kaito replied.

"Take another route then. We don't want to be late for the meeting,"

"Erm the thing is.. we are surrounded by villains and not just one. It's a group of them."

Niko placed her ipad down before looking out of the window to realise that Kaito was right when he said there was a whole group of villains surrounding their car.

"Well we can't do anything about it can we. I don't have a hero license. Do you have one?" Kaito shook his head as an answer and Niko sighed.

Niko took her phone out as she dialed a number. As the phone was ringing she kept biting her nails hoping that the person she was currently dialing would answer their phone because the villains were currently pounding on the window of the car and it looked like it was going to shatter very soon.

"Todoroki-san your phone is ringing," My sidekick said as she walked beside me.

I took my phone out of my pocket as I looked at the caller ID, Niko upon seeing her name I immediately answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Shoto! Please come help! There's villains surrounding my car at xxx!"

"I am coming hang on!"

"Shot-" Niko didn't finish her sentence and after that I could hear screams.

I ended the call as I turned around to face my sidekick, "We are going to xxx immediately!"

My sidekick nodded as we ran there as fast as we could.

'Please be safe Niko....' I thought as I ran.

Before I could finish my sentence the window shattered and a villain's hand reached in to grab my hand. As I was struggling to take my hand back I dropped my phone. In the end another villain came by to grab me by my neck and pull me out of the car.

"Niko Hitori I presume," A man with a mask spoke.

"Who are you?" I asked as I continued to struggle to get out of the villain's grip.

"How could you have forgotten me?" He asked as he walked forward.

"Well since you have forgotten me I shall remind you of who I am." He said as he bent down to look me straight in the eye.

"I am Suzuki Masako, the daughter of Suzuki Kenzo,"

"Oh right you must have forgotten all about the Suzuki family. Let me remind you of what you did." She said as she held up my chin with one of her fingers.

"The Suzuki family, one of the world's richest family. We became bankrupt because of YOU! You stole our business and we became bankrupt. My father died of a chronic illness all because of YOU!"

"Isn't it normal for this to happen in the business world," I replied as I rolled my eyes.

"Oh you see I don't really care. I just want to revenge my father, he died because of YOU!" She shouted and started to laugh like a maniac.

'Crazy woman...' I thought as I rolled my eyes again.

"Hitori-san!" I turned around to see Kaito standing by a woman who I did not recognize.

Before I could reply to Kaito the villains by my side froze and I was able to escape from their grip. As I stepped back a pair of muscular turned me around to face him.

"Niko are you okay? Are you hurt?" Shoto asked as he started to inspect my arms for any injuries. I giggled as I looked up at him and shook my head as a reply.

"Niko watch out!" Before I could respond Shoto pulled me behind him and brought an ice wall up.

"UGHHHHH! WHO ARE YOU?! WHY ARE YOU INTERFERING WITH MY PLANS?!" The woman yelled as she continued to fire arrows out of her hands.

Before Shoto could reply a smoke screen appeared and when it was gone the woman disappeared as well.

"Tanaka-san please put these villains in bubbles before the police come and watch over them," Shoto said as he turned around to face the woman who was standing beside Kaito.

The woman nodded in reply and walked over to the villains who were holding onto me just now and trapped them in bubbles.

"Niko who was that?"

"I don't remember her. She said she was from the Suzuki family, more specifically her name is Suzuki Masako. Apparently she attacked me because I caused her family to go bankrupt and mostly it was because I was the cause of her father's death."

"Okay I'll report her to the police. You and the man there should go to the hospital for a checkup before you go on with your day.

"I already told you I am fine."

"Yea totally how do you explain this," Shoto asked as pointed to the wound on my arm.

"Oh. I didn't notice it..." Shoto shook his head as a reply and I just gave him a cheeky smile.

"You are going to the hospital whether you like it anot."

As I was about to reply police sirens could be heard.

"I guess the police is here," I said as I walked over to Kaito leaving Shoto to speak to the police officer who just got off of his car.

"Hitori-san are you okay?" Kaito asked and I nodded my head.

"You are obviously not okay you have a wound on your arm!' Kaito exclaimed and I shrugged in reply.

"Niko please go to the hospital," Shoto said as he walked over after speaking to the police officer.

"You need to give your statement either way."

"Fine... Kaito reschedule the meeting with the contractors and explain to them what happened to avoid any problems arising," Kaito nodded and fished his phone out of his pocket.

"Hitori-san I'll go with the officers to provide my statement first," Kaito said as he walked to the police officers.

"Do you need me to accompany you?" Shoto asked.

"If you are free and you don't think I am a nuisance I guess you can accompany me," I replied as I walked off with Shoto walking beside me.

"So is our lunch still on?'

"Since I don't have to meet with the contractors anymore I guess we can go after I record the statement."

Shoto didn't reply after that and our journey towards the hospital was short but quiet.

After I got my wound dressed I had to walk to the police station to record my statement.

"If I knew I had to walk this much today I wouldn't have worn heels..." I complained as I stopped walking for awhile and rubbed my heel.

"Niko? Are you okay?" Shoto asked when he noticed that I wasn't walking beside him anymore.
