It's fall 2004. Kenji Aoki, manager of the Project Department of a major sporting goods manufacturer is in a ski resort in New Zealand. He has just finished helping out in a skiing event sponsored by his company, and finally has time to ski with his subordinate, Tappei Hayama. Just when Kenji is enjoying relief from work, he receives a call from Goro Shintani. "My car got stuck in the snow. Help me out."

Goro is Kenji's friend from college, but is now a board member of Kenji's company. Despite the fact that Goro is only 36-years old, he was promoted to his current position with the help of his father, the president of the company. As long as Goro is boss, Kenji can't refuse his orders. When Kenji arrives at the site, he discovers Goro with a beautiful and well-mannered girl. She is Yuki Aoi, Goro's secretary.
