Inside Mimi's new private office - that Eli had quickly set up for her, the young girl sat happily in her desk chair .
Seeing the girl's seemingly happy mood, Eli sighed with relief . He hadn't known why, but he felt like things definitely would have gotten out of hand if he hadn't stepped in there .
He was especially surprised towards Senior's Su's words .
Although he already knew the woman's strong need to protect her friends, no matter how wrong they may have been in the situation . That's just the kind of woman she was .
However, her actions weren't the most appropriate - especially towards a new employee .
Sighing, Eli scratched the back of his neck .

"That's the second time you've sighed Mr . Sato," Mimi's youthful voice spoke .
"Ah . . . Your right it was," Eli laughed lightly . "Guess I didn't realize it . "
"En . Keep it down . " Mimi spoke bluntly before instantly turning towards the computer in front of her .
Eli blinked a few times before he laughed heartily towards the gothic girl's words . She sure was direct .
"Ms . Mimi, I sincerely hope you can generously forgive Ms . Ming for her words and actions earlier," Eli began gently . "She can be quite the imaginative type . But she becomes slightly dense when it naturally comes to common sense . "
Mimi almost scoffed at his words . 'Slightly dense' was an understatement .
However, no matter what she naturally felt, she carefully kept a dull expression and continued to stare at her screen .
Perceiving that although she looked as if she were ignoring him she was clearly listening to his words, Eli smiled before continuing .
"However, despite that, she's been working at this company for many years and is definitely one of our most talented employees . So . . . if you could keep today's vents between us that'd help tremendously . "
From his words, Mimi could point out that he was pleading her not to report what happened earlier to Juno - who would then report it to Tobias Itou .
For some reason, him perceiving her that way caused Mimi's brows to twitch, a deep frown to forming on her face .
"Mr . Sato are you finished?" Mimi spoke almost immediately .
Bobbing his head, he places his hands behind his back, waiting for her response .
"Allow me to make this perfectly clear . I don't care about anyone in this office besides myself . " She declared bitterly with a stern expression . "Moreover, I'm not someone's dog that reports every word and event I happen to perceive . "
If she discovered some interesting 'pests', she'd be happy to deal with them personally rather than merely reporting it .
It was more fun that way .
"So regarding the incident with Ms . Ming, it never even took place in my mind . " Mimi finished while flicking away invisible dust on her desk .
Thoroughly collecting her words, Eli was completely stunned . She had been so blunt to eagerly point out how she hadn't placed any care in the others or their actions .
From her tone, he could accurately detect a slight bitterness as she mentioned being someone's dog .
However, deep within her words, he could faintly sense her sincerity as if in her own way she were telling him she understood how important Jinny was for the team .
She may appear cold, unfeeling and direct, but that was her only way to express her feelings probably .
Eli's pleased smile turned even brighter towards his thoughts .
Despite him thinking that Mimi had merely spoken as directly as possible to avoid misunderstands as she hadn't genuinely cared about the others honestly .
Yet while achieving that she had already created a misunderstood image in Eli Sato's head . . .
