Behind every powerful man (or woman, occasionally), there is a secretary, assistant, or aide to keep his schedule and organize the paperwork. This character is usually calm and meticulous, is likely to wear a [[Sharp-Dressed Man|crisply pressed suit]], and may have [[Stoic Spectacles|hot little glasses]]. In other words, they're a ''perfect'' excuse to throw in a little [[Fan Service]]. Because [[Most Writers Are Male]], this tends to take the form of the [[Sexy Secretary]], but sometimes (especially in works that lean towards a female audience), it'll be [[Mr. Fanservice|an attractive guy]]: the [['''Right-Hand Hottie]]'''.
 
If the boss is also a hot guy, there's opportunity for [[Ho Yay]] via [[Subordinate Excuse]], for additional [[Mr. Fanservice]] value.
Line 24:
** In the ''[[Hetalia Bloodbath 2010]]'' England has a [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]] secretary, [[Fan Nickname|dubbed Workbitch Bartholomew by fans]]. He quickly gained status as an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] because of his [[Mr. Fanservice|good looks]].
*** And in the "Can't Escape from Italy" strips/episodes, England had another [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]] aidé, a spy named Howard. Fans speculate that, since "Mr. Workbitch" looks like him, he may be Howard's relative (possibly his grandson)
* [[media:kanon_maldini_8350kanon maldini 8350.jpg|Kanon]] from ''[[Code Geass]]'', with emphasis on the [[Ho Yay]]. He claims to aid his boss Schneizel "in both public and private," and [[media:lolkanon_4239lolkanon 4239.jpg|this official artwork]] (possibly NSFW) suggests that the creators were quite aware of the innuendo. He's not particularly [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]], though--[[The Chessmaster|Schniezel]] can manage well enough on his own.
