Chapter 2 - First encounter

..

Day of interview....

"Sejung..."

"Yess boss"

"How many resumes??"

"Only 5 boss" , with a apologic expression Sejung said.

"What!!! Why" , Loey asked. His eyes widen up like a ball with frowned eyebrows.

"We just found only 5 person compearing your conditions in just two days", Sejung informed while rubbing the back of his head.

"Huuu!!.. ", Loey sighted, "Remember what I instructed ?"

"I won't let anyone in between the interview", saluted as Sejung is informing his commander in chief , "You can count on me"

Still one hour left to start the interview....

"I'll be in the garden...call me when time comes", Loey said.

Sejung nodded and went back to his work

_______

Loey was walking in the office garden glueing his eyes on his phone.

Walking..... walking....... walking

He suddenly realised his hair pulled by a hand from behind,

"AAAAAAAAAWWWWYYYYYAAAA"

He fell over something short but soft and found himself on the ground over a female figure, pressing his chest on her. His straight hands are the only support to keep apart his face from her.

They were this close to kiss.

Loey could feel her heart thumping violently under him.

*Baaaaammmmm*>>>>>>>>>

A flower pot just fell behind them and broke.

A man wearing a black mask and a black cap just moved away from the rooftop like he was trying to hurt Loey intensionally.

Loey's eyes where still gazing towards two big eyes with brown orbs.

His eyeballs are fixed to her as he is totally lost in her.

She had fair skin tone, two prominent cheek bones, a full lip. Her shoulder were as short as her body frame.

She looks cute.

"Mr. Will you please move from me?" a soft voice came up breaking the silence

"Oooo? Ohhhh..."

Loey moved from her and stood up feeling Awkward like hell.

The girl also stood up while brushing off the dirt from her dress.

WHAT SHOULD I SAY?? Loey thought.

Suddenly he felt a sudden pain on the back of his head and got something to start the conversation.

"Why did you pull my hair", rubbing his back head.

The girl gave a dramatic reaction in slow motion.

"If I hadn't pulled you, you might had to live bear headed for a month or two", she is totally pissed off.

"can't you see the flower pot?", she pointed towards the broken pot that was just one step away from Loey.

He took a look on it and looked up to the rooftop to understand the whole matter but strangely he is still stuck into argument.

"But why did you pull my by my hair. You should have just pulled my hand or shoulder. I just styled my hair yesterday. Ahhh west of money", He rolled his eyes while taking the phone from the ground. Thankfully it fell on soft grass not on the pavement.

"Ungrateful brat, Auuuuuu sshhhii-", the soft voice turned into angry bird and about to curse. Placed her hands on both sides of waist like an old granny about to start scolding , "You...Dumbass, I should have just let the pot to smash your head", pointed her finger straight upwards to him, trying to tiptoe continuesly. But she was looking too short and sweet for him to be scared. So he just looked at her red widen nose barely holding his laugh.

Suddenly her eyes went to her watch.

before Loey can say something she ran like a cheetah, "I'm late for the interview" leaving Loey behind like a shocked statue with open mouth.

"Interview......", He gave a deadly smirk and a glair while moveing toward the interview room rubbing his head...

...

5 candidates are sitting outside the interview room. 3 candidates were already done with the interview, rest of the 2 were nervous.

'A A, E E'

"My name , A A , my name..."

"Candidate 4, come in please"

1st candidate muttered to the 3rd one, "Did you say the director...he is totally my style.."

2nd ,"Yee......he is so young... And his face is like a K-pop Idol"

3rd ,"Aaaawwwwhhhh , damn hot"

10 mins passed....

"Candidate No. 5 , please come in"

------Entering into the room..

"Please sit down", the chair was turning towards the wall , rocking slowly from left to right

"Ms. Shin Heain"

"Yes Sir", she stood infront of the interview table and was about to sit down.

"So you are good at pulling hair....uuummmm..... impressive"

The chair turned slowly.

Heain is half standing half sitting when she shouted, "Youuuuuu!!" Pointing her finger and frowned eyebrows.

A deadly demon is glairing at her holding a ice bag on his head as a replacement for the horns asif he is gonna boil her in hot oil and chew every bone , "Why are you still standing....sit down....Nice to meet you... I'm Park Loey, Director of PCY Garments"(Calmly)

"You......I mean Sir", suddenly Haein bow down in 90° ,"Sorry Sir..... Really sorry. I didn't mean that back then. I was just upset that I saved your life and you didn't even thanked me.....so..so......"

"No no , don't be so..... I just said S.I.T. D.O.W.N. please", Loey moved his finger up and down with a playful smirk putting the ice bag on the table.

Haein sat down with a poor puppy face. Loey just gave a look at her with a small playing smile in his face.

"So Ms. Shin Hea In You are 27 years old", inspecting her resume,"business Major from City University. Umm good but why are you looking for a secretary job? You should have looked for a better job"

Haein cleared her throat and gathered all of her confidence.

"Sir....after leaving the previous job as a permanent employee , I was looking for a job with a decent amount of money and less work load."

"Um...," Loey nodded, " May I ask you why you left your previous job?" He slightly leaned forward placing his chin in his doth hands together fixing his eyes on the small and slim Pokemon like girl with marble like brownish eyes that was full of confidence a moment ago and suddenly he can feel a dit sorrow on her face.

Heain's bright face became dull in a span of a second...

Is she sad? did I ask something wrong?

Loey thought.

"Personal reasons ", Her reaction is stoic .

"See ..here I'm interviewing for my personal secretary. I need to know every single details about your background so that I can trust you with my work".

Looking at random things Haein started, "Actually I was working in Jeahu's as a marketing planner for 2 years. There I had to work with my whole energy for being the junior even I worked in place of seniors but I was fine with that even if I had nose bleeding often. Sometimes I couldn't go home for two or three days because I used to live with my parents and we lived here is Seoul and my office was far away from here. So I stayed in office. Salary was not that amazing but it was still okay for three of us"

"Fuuuuuuuuu", her throat is getting heavier

"So you wanted a job that you can stay here and with a huge amount of money and I heard that Jeahu's is not doing well this days but you said you used to live with your parents. Did you move out? Don't mind I asking personal questions but if you want be my secretary I need to know in detail to be assured", Loey informed her not so rough or not so soft voice, waiting for her answer...

"They passed away".

Before Loey could say something she started explaining with shacking voice and looking towards her knees

"One day I was working in my office in midnight. That was third day in a row. Suddenly I got a from a unknown number".

Loey is listening like a good student. Honestly, he didn't need to know all this. All he needed was a good secret keeper.

But hearing her story He got a advantage . Something started to cook in his mind.

Haein's face is getting darker and shorter in griff, "when I pick up the call, someone said it was from Hospital and my parents got into accident on highway on way to see me and moved to the hospital. my mind gone blank for a moment. then I ran out of my office but it was midnight and public transports already stopped for the day so I took a Taxi and went straight to the hospital . but it was too late. Their bodies already got moved to the morgue. I was totally confused at that moment because I don't have any other relatives other than my parents. Then I thought what would have happened if I refused to work for my senior Or if I had my workplace near my house. they wouldn't have to come to see me."

She spilled out all of her emotions but there is not a single tear drop in her eyes. she is strong minded. she have patience.

"suddenly my work was feeling very suffocating so I handed my resignation letter 1 month later. Hadn't done anything for more than a year but what to do? I have to keep living. My parents would have wanted the same but most importantly I need to repay the loans that my father took so I was looking for a easy job with huge amount of salary. Then I came to know about this interview and applied", she gave a broken smile after lifting her face.

Loey straighten his back and thought something for a moment.

"So that's why you left your work....ummmm....then can you tell me what kind of plans and strategies you made in your previous work ? being in same industry I think I have the right to know. can you tell me?", Loey was waiting for a reply. what will you answer ?will you tall me the secrets ? and the reply....

"Sorry Sir, Company secrets are ment to be secrets. I left my work for my personal reasons not for any kind of controversy. you can ask about my personal life but I apologize for not being able to tell about my previous work details . Again I'm sorry" She tighten her jaw. Her voice again sounded confident .

"Okk Miss Shin Haein..... would you please wait outside for a moment?"

Hae In just nodded, stood up and went out side. After seeing Haein turn towards the door, Loey gave a little smirk. He took the resumes and started to cross-checking again.....

"SHIN...HAE....IN...", He took her resume parallel to his eyes resting his back on chair, "If you are truly trustworthy, then I'll make you sign the contract at any cost". Threw a glair at the door.

"I won't be soft just because you have the same name as her "
