Soo-Ha's POV-
My head was dizzy with the blurry sight of that horrendous picture. In a spur of moment, I lost my balance and fell down all of a sudden while Miss Ma-eum was grabbing me tightly. I passed out for sometime.
I didn't know for how long I was unconscious, but when I woke up I saw that I was lying on a couch inside a cabinet, Miss Ma-eum was sitting beside me and all the editors were standing around the couch with terror-stricken faces. Just infront of me that strange person and Madam Sawako were standing looking very concerned.
I felt terribly embarrassed. It was my first day at job and I screwed it badly. Darn it! All this must be happening because I ran into Luna! Maybe she had cursed me today!
I tried to get up slowly. Miss Ma-eum helped me to sit up on the couch.
"How are you feeling now Miss Soo-Ha?" That person asked me in a deep voice.
"Yes I am much better now Si-Sir!" I replied very nervously. He seemed to be an important and a higher ranked person of that company although I never saw him before.
The man turned his face towards Madam Sawako. He looked very agitated and she somehow appeared to be a bit afraid of his gaze.
"Miss Sawako! Did you choose an anemic editor for our company? Don't you know the workload here? How can a weak person like her handle all the stress?" He asked her a bit roughly.
"No Mr. Han! Her medical report was completely fine!" She was tensed while answering his question.
"Then what the hell is this?" He looked at me with a cold gaze while asking.
"Um sir I have never felt like this before! I don't know why but I suddenly visualised a very horrendous picture and I passed out! I don't know what happened!" I tried to explain him being all flustered.
"Horrendous picture? Did you see a ghost?" He replied with a smirk.
"I am terribly sorry sir! I know it's my first day and I caused disturbance to everyone here! I am really sorry! I will be careful that it won't happen again!" I stood up from the couch and bowed before him anxiously. I was really afraid to get fired on my first day as I have already heard all the description from Miss Ma-eum.
He looked at me silently for sometime and sighed a bit. I guess he felt empathy towards me.
"Okay! Since it's your first day I am granting leave for you today. Go home and take rest! Start all the work from tomorrow!" He declared in a very bold voice. Madam Sawako seemed very surprised with his decision while staring at him.
"But Sir--"
"I already ordered you to go home and don't make me repeat my words. And remaining all the editors, since maximum time of the day is already wasted here, so you all can leave too today!" He interrupted me and firmly replied while looking at the other editors.
All of their pale half-dead faces seemed to be glittered up with happiness after hearing him.
"Yes sir! Thank you so much sir! Thank you!" Brother Min-Ki was in the verge of tears of happiness while replying to him.
He looked at me one more time before leaving.
"Miss Soo-Ha I guess I didn't get the opportunity to introduce myself formally. I am Mr. Han Noah, the owner and CEO of Han Publications! I guess our first meeting was weird today but I hope you will have a good time here!" For the first time he smiled kindly at me while speaking.
I was staring at him with my eyes wide open! Woah! So he was Han Noah who was the most rumoured and famous person of Han Publications! He was indeed very charming with a firm attitude as the owner of such prestigious organisation!
But why the hell I felt so sad to see him for the first time? Why my heart was aching terribly? And who the hell was the person I saw dying?
"Thank you sir! Nice to meet you too!" I bowed before him to express my greeting.
He left the cabinet along with Madam Sawako hastily. As soon as they left, Miss Ma-eum hugged me all of a sudden. She seemed overjoyed.
"You are a lucky charm for us Soo-Ha! It's the first time sir has granted us a special leave like this! It's the first time we saw him being all kind to us! Thanks to you Soo-Ha! Please faint again whenever you want, so that we will get a leave!" She was patting my head softly while speaking.
I laughed out at her request and hugged her back while looking at all the way he walked outside the cabinet.

Noah walked out from the office to the parking area and was about to get back on his car. Sawako almost came running to him.
"Um Mr. Han! Are you leaving now?" She seemed very distressed.
"Hmm." Noah replied firmly.
"Um, Mr. Han why did you tell Miss Soo-Ha to take a day off? And why did you tell the other editors to leave too?" She sounded a bit agitated.
"I don't know why. But I just didn't like to see her in pain! It's better she along with the other editors get some rest today!" He answered in a deep voice while staring at the sky with a blank gaze.
"But sir you have never done this before! I have been working here from 8 years and it's the first time I am seeing you acting such kind to the employees! I am really surprised today!" She replied in a skeptical manner.
"I don't know either why I am doing so! But I didn't want to see her working today with a bad health condition! That's all!" He answered very calmly.
The more he was calm, the more she was getting agitated with his sudden change of attitude.
"I am leaving now! You should take off today too Miss Sawako! Have a good day!" He firmly got inside the car and it left. Sawako was standing at the parking area looking very annoyed.
"Damn! Why is he suddenly acting all kind towards that girl? It's pissing me off!" She mumbled in a grumpy tone.
