Not even a little bit. That hug, at that time in M.A. was the first and last physical contact between them. Nope. Not because , he isn't a man.
But because, he had seen her bearing all the pain, by clenching her fists and gritting her teeth. He had seen how brave and courageous she is, to bear everything alone. So, in a sense, he respect her.
And he wants to touch her only with her own permission.That could be said as his last limit. He wants to win her, her heart, her soul, her body, her everything.
He knows Ashoka's case has given her a big trauma, he had seen her crying all alone in the middle of night, while he used to play dead at the site. So, he wants her to recover fully and then accept him, no matter how much time it took, be it one year, five year, ten year or 20 years.
He isn't in a hurry, anyways. After all, the thing that he wants is indeed very precious yet priceless. He wants her everything. So, he had to bargain his time, his patience, his love, hsi everything in return to gain her as whole,too.
And he is ever ready for that.

Next day ;
" Wake up, sleepy head." Taekook, who was sleeping peacefully, while dreaming about his and Aelin's wedding, couldn't help but cringe his brows at the source of voice.
" I said, wake up,right now. Or I will make you regret it." And the voice resounded again. Earning another frown from Taekook.
SPLASH!!!!
"What the….A-Aelin. Aish! I was dreaming about my fantasy life. Why did you splash water on me?" Taekook, who felt like, he had just suffered from the waves of tsunami, woke up immediately while sitting straight on his drenched bed.
Only to see, Aelin standing with a jug in her hand. As for its content, better not ask. As it was on the pitiful drenched person's head and bed.
" I warned you, before. Hehe." She smiled embarrassingly and all his anger faded away. How could he get angry with her, in the first place? Just impossible.
" What happened?" He asked, making a cute pout, which give him the being wronged appearance.
" It's 8 AM, Boss. And we are supposed to reach the company's gate before 8: 15. So, hurry up. Or I won't mind dragging you in your current situation to the company." She warned again.
As for the person in concern, he was busy differentiating between right and wrong. Was his decision of making her his secretary, right or not?
And the person, who never ever doubts himself or his decisions couldn't help but introspect. At last, he decided to drop the topic in his head. As saving his reputation was more important than his regression.
Aein, was already completely ready in navy blue business attire, she wasn't wearing a skirt, like girls, but she was wearing pants. As she has always been the follower of conservative style clothes, which gives her noble, dignified, unique aura. But she was wearing those feet, killing high heels.
She really wanted to swear all human generations, after knowing this footwear item called heels. Why do girls have to wear something like this?Especially when it hurt like hell.
After all, she wasn't that small to begin with. So, height or not height, she was happy with her original height and she was born with confidence. Then, why does she have to wear these toes killing heels?
And she decided to have a really good talk with the fellow, who currently was busy in his own closet. As for makeup and all, so she has many maids, many servants, many girls to interact with and know about this century and it's trends.
So, she just wore one red lipstick, which was more than enough in her flawless, newly plastered face, to attract attention. She was doing the low back ponytail, to tie her newly grown, black, medium length hairs.
After 10 minutes, the human finally comes out of his closet, looking all clad and stud in his royal King's type dressing. Aiye. Even, she couldn't help but spend some time admiring him.
Naah, he wasn't in the mood to tease her. As, he could see , she was in the do or die mode, already. He scans her from head to toe, to know the reason.
And there it was, her never ending complaints product, her high heels.
" Why are you wearing them?" He asked them. As he had become the same cold blooded he was, in front of World.
" Because, it is your fucking company's rule." She spat each and every single word with suppressing rage. And he just smiled. So, his company's rules pissed her, already?
" And that was your way of revenge?" He asked, pointing at the wet bed.
" We are getting late." Again her highly controlled, highly suppressed raged voice ring out.
" Fine. Wear flat heels. Or anything you are comfortable in, except the sneakers. And the rules will be changed before you reach the company.
I will wait for you outside. So, hurry up." And he relented again. Only to see, that cute, heart slaying smile of her.
Fine, it would be worth it. After all, it's not his headache to begin with. And his Two PA's who were on their way to office, sneezed severely.
Damn it! Just who cursed them!Or the trouble is coming on their way?
And before they could guess the reason of their out of the blue Sneeze, they got a text message, which was more than enough for them to cough blood.
' Change the rules of the office, Only flat heel shoes should be allowed. Ban high heels.'
"Damn it. Did someone hack his phone?" Min Namjin asked.
" You think that too." Kim Sisoek asked.
" Let's call him." Min Namjin asked.
" But what if that dracula would be with him?" Kim Sisoek asked back.
And both were silent. Their ever so might, aloof, cold boss, told them to change the rule of the company, which has never ever happened. Plus, more than that, the rule concerned the ladies, not them.
No doubt, it has to be the contribution from Miss Kavya Rajput. Otherwise, how come the person, who doesn't even care, whether the person can walk on 5 cm high heels on not. He just changed the rules, directly.
