The story depicts how Motomiya Mitsuko (Fukuhara), a total coordinator who will use any means necessary to make her clients successful, teams up with Imai Natsu (Matsuyuki Yasuko), a single mother who has had a string of bad luck, and transforms her into a stunning “female company president.”

A look back at episode 3 of “Secret Secret”

With the help of Mitsuko, Natsu is trying to become the next president of Kujo Development, and is aiming to realize the project that the late president was unable to complete. For her daughter Aya (Yoshiyanagi Sakura), who aims to become a full-time employee from a contract employee in the Kujo Development Public Relations Department, making enemies of the Kujo family is a big risk. Aya, who cannot bear the glare of her direct superior, the eldest daughter of the Kujo family, Reika (Shida Sara), asks Mitsuko to “stop instigating my mother.”

On the weekend, Reika hosted a party to entertain investors and businessmen, but Natsu was not invited. Mitsuko contacted Narahashi Kazumi (Yorie Yamashita), the charismatic president of a major IT company who was interested in the former president’s project. Aya tried to get in the way of Mitsuko and her friends in order to impress Reika, and Mitsuko was asked by Haruto (Shuhei Uesugi), the eldest son of the Kujo family, who was going to have an arranged marriage meeting at Reika’s party, to secretly coordinate the event.

Natsu begins preparing for a presentation to meet with Narahashi and checks the documents for the project that the former president was working on. Meanwhile, Natsu and Narahashi are invited to Reika’s party, and the chance to present alone with her is swapped for the party. Reika’s popularity soars in the Kujo household after she succeeds in inviting Narahashi. Haruto, annoyed, demands that Mitsuko betray Natsu by telling her to help him at the party, not Imai Natsu.

Mitsuko had realized that it was Aya who had leaked the information about Narahashi to Reika. Affirming Aya’s way of life, in which she would use any means to achieve her goal, Mitsuko showed her an old coin. According to Mitsuko, it was a “coin of the gods” given to her by a high Tibetan monk, and that this coin would show her the right answer when she was unsure of what to do in life. Mitsuko offered the coin to Aya, but she refused. However, her expression showed her hesitation. Mitsuko suggested to Aya, “Then let’s work together this time.”

The day of the party. Aya, who was entrusted with supporting Natsu by Mitsuko, who was Haruto’s attendant, called Natsu, who had already arrived at the venue, and told her, “I suddenly got sick and I’m going to the hospital now.” Without Aya, Natsu couldn’t do anything and Reika had the advantage. However, Natsu abandoned her important presentation and went to the hospital, worried about Aya. Aya couldn’t sit still and chased after Natsu, furious. However, seeing her mother smiling, glad that her daughter was safe, Aya felt ashamed of herself. “I want to help my mother. Please, Mitsuko.” Mitsuko, who had been warned by Haruto not to cooperate with Natsu, smiled and said, “Aya didn’t tell me not to cooperate.”
