On the first day of the new week (Monday). The sun still hadn't risen from it's long sleep and pitch black sky reflected it's dark gloomy atmosphere on the city below.
In the midst of all the darkness there was a mansion that stood at the far ends of the city without any other buildings to accompany it as it's structure remained undisturbed by eventful activities of any kind.
The front gates were bulletproof and sturdy with bold letters of "Hyosung residence" written above it's towering steel in letters of Gold.
The lights from within shone brightly outside making it visible to witness the works of the houses staff, as they prepared the house for the new days events.
Among all the rooms there was a light that shone dull compared to the rest. It was the room of renol who switched on a small lamp as he laid on his lengthy waterbed holding a piece of paper in his hand.
He held the paper high on his hand with a confused stare pacefully reading the paper repetitively. It was non other than Mrs sugon's strange resignation letter which he had found odd.
Recalling the days he used to try and contact her without any results. His thoughts wondered thinking of what could have made her resign because he had a deeper connection with her.
During the days of his father's reign as the CEO of Hyosung corp she was also his assistant and his father's best employee. She also served as a mother figure to Him since the tragic day of his parents passing.
His unease failed to deplete even after several positive assumptions which had played out in his mind
"Something just isn't right" Those were the word's that he uttered continuously despite trying to calm his nerves. Each passing second was like an hour becoming more unbearable than the last.
"Sir! What would you like to eat for dinner?"
Brought back to reality by the chef's question he gathered his scattered thoughts and regained his composure.
"I'll have anything, as long as it tastes good" He replied.
"Yes sir! Right away!" The chef replied before hastily directing his body and speeding through the door and flight of stairs.
"Haaaa"
"I guess it doesn't matter now, I have to get ready for work"
His gloome began to fade as he squeezed the letter and tossed it towards the bin besides his bed. He decided not to bother with it since he gained someone better as a result.
The memory of the day he met sungin flashed through his mind and sent warmth throughout his stressed body. He felt a sense of joy building up inside him which he hadn't felt in a while yet decided to bottle it up within him.
Though his attempts flopped as his face took on a menacingly joyous expression with his eyes curling upwards and his grin stretched abnormally across squeezing his face tightly.
"Ping ping ping ping"
His phone began to ring with a banner showing the recent delivery of a new message. His mood reversed instantly as he gazed furiously narrowing both eyebrows towards the direction of the phone.
His hand swiped the phone in an instant and swung it to the opposite direction with the intention of tossing it across the room but decided to halt as it could be something worth his time.
His eyes flickered in annoyance with veins popping on his head as he opened the notification only to find the same message waiting for him.
{Are you ready for today's game renol?}
"Oh I see.... it's that guy"
After reading the message he slung his phone viciously towards the opposing wall and watched it shatter viciously as each of it's parts scattered towards various directions.
With a frightful expression he glared towards the position of the shattered phone with his eyes widened yet turning red steadily.
"Rot in hell you heartless bastard!" His yell filled the hallways gripping the attention of the staff below.
Getting ready for work renol went to the bathroom to wash his body. The steam from the hot water shrouded the room cloaking everything with it's smoke.
"Bang"
Suddenly the door closed and renol was caught unaware. He was still covered in soap and undressed so he had limited options. Though he noticed that a familiar figure was standing behind the heavy steam.
"Whose there?"
There was no answer to his question as the figure replied in absolute silence shrouded in mystery making renol feel like he was unsafe.
Attempting to pursue the figure he noticed that the steam began clearing and in front of him was a hand holding a towel.
"You'll need this sir" the voice chuckled after speaking.
[Wait I know that voice]
More steam escaped from the open door dessicated making the figures appearance more visible. It was no other than his dream girl sungin who came to start her job as early as possible.
To her it was just a normal interaction between a boss and their employee but the feeling was not mutual as to renol it was much more.
His face turned bright red with smoke sizzling out of his head and became completely flustered.
His vision of her became blurry till everything he saw turned pitch black. He dropped on the bathroom floor and fell into a state of unconsciousness.
He remained unconscious till several hours passed and was awoken by his head made Linda.
"Master renols sir. Are you okay? You were lying unconscious in the bathtub"
"Huh? Was there anyone else with me?" He asked
"Im sorry sir but I found you alone in the tub with your towel right next to you"she replied
[Wait so was I hallucinating. It's gotten that bad!]
"Thank you very much Linda"
"My pleasure sir. Oh and by the way sir will you not be attending the office today?" She asked lowering her brows and eyes with a frown slightly stretched on her wrinkled face.
"What's the time currently Linda, I hope I'm not too late?
Pulling out a small crested pocket watch from her dress pocket. She gazed at it for a bit before giving him an answer.
"It's exactly 1:45pm"
"Shittt...." He burst out of shock, flying out of his soft water bed to the solid floor he sped towards his cupboard. Randomly tossing clothes his hands could grip searching for what to ware.
"There's no need to make a mess young master, the clothes I picked out for you have been ironed and hanged"
Calming down he seized the random throwing of clothes and ran towards the drawer where Linda had placed his clothes .
Renol sped out of his room and through the long flight of stairs snobbing the delightful spread of food which the chefs had made only reaching out for his car keys.
The house servants did nothing but watch as he ran more energeticly than he did in years towards the parking lot. Most of them had smiles on their faces except for Linda who had a nagging feeling something was wrong.
Reaching his office after 10 minutes of driving renol left his car in the hands of his chauffeur and sped towards his office without any paying caution to the wind.
[I've never been this late in years, Now I'll have another mountain of paper work waiting for me] he said speeding past the spectating staff
Reaching his office entrance he flung the door open with force. only to find an unexpected surprise waiting for him
"Bang"
"Oh my!"
"Sir it's you?!"
"Ha ha ha" gasping for air he was nothing less than shocked and his face was a dead giveaway with his mouth left wide open in awe.
"I'm glad you're here I thought you weren't coming" she said as she shone her usually warm smile holding a stack of paper in her hands.
"I've finished all the paperwork sir, from private accounting to the companies inventory assessment"
His eyes widened witnessing her finish a week worth of paper work in hours"is she really that talented?"
"I hope your impressed sir"
Staring at her without uttering a word renol stood frozen in place. It was the first time in years anyone had ever left him stunned.
