Señorita ✤ Choi Minho

✤chapter 9

'You can cover the delay. I trust you, Miss. Han,' Mr. Park smiled, walking past the team manager. The female's face brightened at the affirmation. In a tough situation, any boss would fire the entire team, yet Mr. Park put his belief in the employees. Because he wasn't a typical boss.

For everyone, Jiwoo Park was a definition of a perfect man. Sleek jet black hair? Check. Exceptionally brilliant? Check. Empathetic personality? Check.

With every nice boss comes an irritably snarky secretary. It's always Miss. Wang taking matters into her hands. Its her dealing with the incompetent employees. Mr. Park always upheld her every business decision. Being in her good graces meant employees had their corporate ladder safe.

Setting aside the Park family's political influence, he had chosen the path of self-made business. But even the perfectionist of a human can't escape fate. To Jiwoo, bad luck came through matrimony. First wife, dying of a terminal illness. The second, turning out to be a cheater. The most recent one, running away on the wedding day.

Finding the empty cubicle, Mr. Park went in assuming his assistant to be seated in his executive high-back chair. The mental image of her waiting did not seem true, once the door opened. Instead, there was an additional someone in the room. 'Mr. Kim, I am sorry to keep you waiting,' Jiwoo said greeting the older businessman. 'Sua? How could you not inform me?'

'No, I said I'd wait,' Mr. Kim replied, sitting on the edge of the sofa. Everything would have been smooth if Hyuna just complied and married Park Jiwoo. It would have saved the father the talk of shame. Now Mr. Kim was in the office of his supposed future son-in-law asking for forgiveness. An action which he never thought he would be preparing for.

'Could you give us a minute, Miss Wang,' Jiwoo said, sensing the elder's displeasure.

Wang Sua, his secretary, did not answer. Instead, she picked up the supposed to be approved documents and firmly walked away. Jiwoo's eyes followed as she harshly pushed through the door and left his office.

The visitor waited a little more to gather his composure for the apology. 'I am sorry for what happened,' Mr. Kim told, uncomfortable with discussing the events of the past day. 'Your father must be angry.'

'I am sorry for my father's harsh behavior yesterday. Please don't apologize,' Jiwoo told taking the elder's hand in his. 'I trust your parenting, maybe she was just scared.'

'Thank you. I'll find her soon,' Mr. Kim spoke, assuring the promised two would be wed within a month. There were no certain leads but he was sure of who could have helped his daughter flee.

Yuta stood, visibly confused at the sight. He was sure, the leader had left alone, but two people were returning. Minho still had to figure out explaining to Yuta, about why a woman is accompanying him. But that could wait. He was more curious about her name. 'Runaway? So... name?' Minho slowed down, few steps to ask her the question.

'My name?'

'Who else is here? Of course your name.'

Hyuna looked around hesitantly, playing with the edges of her French manicured nails. Should she be opening out personal information now? The other hadn't given her his name yet. But she had to put some piece of trust in him. A small smile played, stating the first name which she could think of. 'Miniso'
