Michelle came to work a bit late but she didn't care at all since she had decided to tender her resignation letter to the HR department, She was walking towards the lift when she saw so many staffs gathered in various groups chatting about something, she walked closer to them trying to hear what they were discussing
"Ooh my Gosh! The Chairman is so damn handsome, I have been working here for a year now and this is my first time seeing him"
"You're Lucky, I have been working here for two years and I haven't seen him even once since he hardly shows himself to lower staff like us, only the executives get to see him often"
" I felt butterflies in my stomach just looking at him, I thought I'd faint right there, ooh and I heard he is single "
"Don't even think about it, he fired his last secretary and Personal assistant cause they both tried to flirt with him, that's why his secretary is a guy now, and in case you haven't noticed Miss Park has a long-time crush on the Chairman "
"Yeah you're right about that "
Michelle couldn't finish hearing the rest when Mrs. Han's voice rang through the hall
"What are you all doing here? Get back to work now "
The crowd immediately dispersed and everyone went back to their stations. Michelle quickly entered the lift and went looking for Jiyoon. She needed more information about the Chairman.
She was about to enter the elevator when her eyes caught sight of the guy she met on her first day
" It's you again, You seem to appear everywhere I go"
"Are you a stalker or something "
She saw the elevator door was about to close so she quickly walked in
" What are you doing here anyway? "
He turned around and looked at her with his usual serious face
"And why should I tell you? "
" Whatever that doesn't answer my question, who are you? "
The door suddenly opened and he stalked out but stopped in his tracks and slightly turned his head with his back facing her before saying
" Don't worry, you'll know soon enough"
He then quietly walked away, Michelle also walked out of the lift and she saw the smirk on his face before he left.
"This guy is very weird, he is handsome but he gives me the shivers "
She rubbed her hands on her arms like someone with a cold. She remembered she was going to meet Jiyoon and quickly walked away.
"Hey J.J"
"Hmmm"
"Is it true the Chairman came back today?"
"Yeah it is "
"Ooh I see, I wanna ask you a few questions about him"
"Alright "
Jiyoon motioned for her to take a seat
"What's the relationship between Miss Park and the Chairman"
"The Park Family and the Kim family have been friends for many years so Miss Hannah and the Chairman have known each other since childhood and they are friends also it's known to everyone that Miss Park has always been in love with the Chairman But he never paid her attention because he had a girlfriend back then that he loved"
" Where is she now"
"Unfortunately she died in a fire at her house. It was devastating for the Chairman so much so that he almost committed suicide"
"What!"
"Yes, poor Miss Yeon Ju, may her soul rest in peace, she was the love of his life, his everything but death took her too soon"
Jiyoon said with a sad expression on her face she seemed to have liked Miss Yeon Ju
"You must have liked her a lot right"
"I did Michelle 'cause we were a little close, She was such an angel compared to that devil Hannah. She was so gentle, kind, so beautiful, polite, and humble. She was everyone's favorite except for Miss Park who hated her"
"They were already engaged and two months away from their wedding. That's why it was a big tragedy for the Chairman and everyone in the company. Ever since then, the Chairman has not been in another relationship. The pain and grief have not allowed him to love anyone else, He used to be a really happy person but now he is always frowning which makes people easily get intimidated or scared of him"
"How long has it been"
"Exactly 3 years ago"
Michelle sighed sadly before remembering she didn't even know his name
"It was a tragedy, Ooh umm!
What is the Chairman's name"
"Mr. Kim Hyunmin"
"Okay, umm what about....."
Michelle was about to ask another question when Mrs. Han appeared from behind them.
"Miss Parker, The Chairman wants to see you in his office now"
Michelle stood up from her seat in shock
"What! He wants to see me"
"Yes Miss Parker, now come with me"
