Confession

19

During lunchtime, the Jeon company received a courier delivery at its front desk, to be sent to the President's office.

"It's for Secretary Jaehyun." A woman at the front desk read the receipt.

"Then send it up quickly." Any express deliveries sent to the President's office must be delivered upstairs as soon as it arrives. This was the very first rule any front desk assistant in Jeon Group must remember.

"Yes." The woman's co-worker took the delivery and took the elevator to the President's office on the top floor.

"Express delivery for Secretary Jaehyun." The young woman was soon knocking at the door to the secretary's office room.

Inside, Secretary Jaehyun was drinking his coffee leisurely. It was a rare workday where the Boss wasn't in the building, nor did he need to follow the Boss somewhere. But he was soon interrupted by the knock on the door. Secretary Jaehyun puts down his coffee, opens the door, and accepts the delivery. With a smile, he thanks the woman. "Sorry for the inconvenience, Yeji."

"Secretary Jaehyun knows my name?" Being one of the company's top leaders, it was a little exciting to know that he could remember the name of such a low-level receptionist like her.

"Of course I remember. You also helped me last time with another delivery." Secretary Jaehyun smiled as he glanced at the employee card on Yeji's chest.

"Ah, that's just my job." Yeji's excited face was beginning to turn red. "That...I won't continue to bother you, I'll say my goodbyes now Secretary Jaehyun."

"Goodbye." Secretary Jaehyun watched the blushing young woman run away. Then he walked back into the office with the package. As soon as he turned around, he saw the teasing looks of the two other secretaries under him.

"Chief, you're teasing young girls again." Sooji, a.k.a Assitant One, commented with a smile.

"Nonsense." Jaehyun put the box on the table and accepted the box cutter Soobin, a.k.a Assistant Two had offered him. After two or three cuts, the box was opened.

Unwrapping the bubble wrap inside, Jaehyun found a beautiful picture frame inside.

"Eh?" Soobin looked at the photo inside the frame and couldn't help but wonder: "...This silhouette looks a little like the Boss?"

"Where, where?" Sooji heard Soobin's words and excitedly looked over. Confirming Soobin's guess, she said: "That's the Boss alright."

"You two have good eyes." It should be said that when Jaehyun saw the picture, he had to look at it for a long time before he realized that the silhouette was the Boss.

"Then, the other silhouette is our Boss' wife?" Sooji added.

"So beautiful and romantic." Sooji was starry-eyed. The silhouettes of the two people kissing, the breeze lifting the willow leaves, the setting sun...it makes anyone seeing the photo drunk.

"What kind of thoughts are you having? The Boss is already married." Jaehyun teased Sooji.

"What are nonsense are you spouting! I've been worked to the bone with all the overtime the Boss is giving me. Any thoughts of love I've had for the Boss had long turned into fear." Sooji said with a sour face. "Fear of doing another overtime."

"Yes!" Soobin, having experienced the same thing, wholeheartedly agreed with Sooji. "I think the first time I ever saw the Boss was in a financial magazine. I had a massive crush on him from then on, so I tried my best to land a job as the Boss' secretary or assistant. After five passes, six defeats, and countless battles, I finally lost to the neverending overtime thrust upon me."
