Chapter 30 - Red Tulips!

Soo-Ha's POV:

It was around 11 am. I was a bit late for my second day so I was in a hurry to the editorial department. While entering, I saw the same picture as yesterday! All half-dead stressed editors working before their computers appeared as a herd of zombies. But I didn't feel afraid today as I know about their nature now. While I was walking up to my desk, brother Min-ki smiled at me even with that pale face.

"Good morning! How are you feeling today Soo-Ha?" He greeted me very kindly.

"Ahh good morning brother! I am doing pretty fine today! Don't worry!" I reciprocated his kindness with a wide smile on my face.

While reaching my desk I was in awe for a moment. What's this? A pile of files are stocked upon my desk- each assigned with a separate stick-note. 

"Umm, Soo-Ha!" Miss Ma-eum approached my desk in a nervous gesture.

"Yes?" I answered while still gazing at those files confusedly.

"I saw these files on your desk from the moment I came to office today! I don't know who put that here but there are so many files stocked up! Do you have to check all these today?" She was quite dazed while asking me.

"I don't know!" I managed to reply her timidly.

"Ohhh you are here Miss Soo-Ha?"

We heard a hoarse voice behind us and turned back. It was Madam Sawako in a dark blue office attire, shimmering with confidence and a small cryptic grin over her face.

"Good morning madam!" I bowed before her in a spooked way.

"So as I told you earlier, these are the files you have to checkout! All are assigned with stick-notes that will pave your way to deal with the authors here! So that's only your work for today!" She ordered me very boldly.

"Only?" Miss Ma-eum uttered as she was stunned to hear her speaking about the workload so casually.

Madam Sawako turned her head towards Miss Ma-eum and looked at her with glaring eyes. She panicked with her gaze and immediately left to her desk.

"O-Okay ma'am! I will follow the instructions and will try to complete it within today-"

"Try? Ha Ha!" She suddenly intervened me while laughing out vaguely. "Miss Soo-Ha avoid this word "try" in our office. If you are assigned with a duty then you have to complete it within that day by any means! Even if you need to work overtime, you have to do so! As you are new here so I have informed you today earlier, but from next time deal everything by yourself! And yes, I despise mistakes!" She sounded very mystifying while ordering me with a dense expression in her eyes.

I was completely perplexed with her utmost change in behaviour from yesterday. I silently nodded my head in response.

"Have a good day!" She left soon after getting my response. I stood there for sometime as I was still in awe of the whole situation.

"Soo-Ha! Don't worry! You can ask me whenever you are stuck!" Miss Ma-eum whispered to me from her desk. Her caring gesture relieved me a bit!

I slowly sat down on my desk with a deep sigh while taking a file to start my overloaded work. I thought Sawako was a kind lady! What a complete change in behaviour! Miss Ma-eum was right, she indeed is a cunning witch!

Luna's POV-

I was sipping my special coffee while sitting on my cabinet inside the cafe place. The outside view from my cabinet balcony on the 7th floor was indeed beautiful! The weather was bright! Somehow, my mood was uplifted compared to yesterday.

"Umm ma'am!" Someone knocked at the door while calling me.

I turned behind and it was Jun, my staff. She was carrying a bouquet of red tulips in her hand.

I was extremely surprised to see those flowers with her while gazing with my eyes wide open.

"Ma'am may I come in?" She asked me very gently.

"Huh? Oh, y-yes!" I stammered a bit in nervousness. 

"Ma'am someone sent these flowers for you! Here!" She sounded very polite while handing the bouquet to me. Yes! There was a short note inside with my name written in it! I read the note silently-

"Good morning gorgeous! Today's a special day and as I have found you finally so I couldn't resist myself from sending these beautiful flowers to such a divine beauty! Hope you will love it! Have a great day ahead!

For my beautiful heiress Miss Kim Luna."

I was all frozen after reading the note! A panicked expression prevailed on my face as I clenched the note while staring at those flowers. They were surprisingly beautiful!

"Who sent these for me?" I inquired Jun with a very serious voice.

"A small kid came to our cafe and handed me these flowers. I tried to ask who sent it but he didn't answer and left immediately! I checked the bouquet thoroughly before bringing it here for your safety ma'am! But these flowers are so fresh and beautiful!" She sounded very firm with a small smile on her lips.

"Okay! You can leave now!" I answered her coldly while returning back to my chair holding those tulips.

As soon she left I read the note two times more. I have received bouquet of red roses as present before! But red tulips? Never!

Abruptly I remembered, tulips were the favourite flowers of Ji-Hoo! I always used to collect tulips for him from the tulip garden back in Yesan as Ha-Eun! So who sent these for me now?

Is it Alex? Is he sending me these flowers as a signal of his reincarnation? Does he want me to recognize him as Ji-Hoo now?

Damn! Cold chills ran down my spine as I was staring at the flowers intensely!
