Moneypenny

Moneypenny is the fictional secretary to M, the head of British Intelligence, in Ian Fleming's James Bond novels and their film adaptations.

She maintains a flirtatious rapport with Bond while remaining quintessentially professional.

The name has become shorthand for a loyal, capable assistant—especially one who handles a difficult boss with wit and patience: She's the Moneypenny of the whole operation.
