Anna asks why Chizuru went all the way to see her, and he tells her that he couldn't tell her that she was special because she's a member of his staff. Anna wonders if this means that he's still treating her the same way he used to, and she tells him to come talk to her about anything that's bothering him. She tells him that they're just like partners, and that she'll be able to help him if he needs her help. Anna says that she doesn't know if this is the same as being a lover or a co-worker, but she does know that it's different than being a partner in a business relationship. She asks if he made her his partner because she was "special" to him, or if he didn't think anything of her at all. Anna is sorry that the business is about to close, and says that the owner isn't at his office, but that she needs to go talk to him about something.
