«NARRATION»

Getting off her car, Lisa craned her neck to look at the sky scraping building she stood in front of: the label Golden Closet Enterprises plastered in big, bold lettering.

Mumbling the same name under her breath, she sighed before stepping foot into the glass entrance of the wide, spacious office. She stepped into the elevator, a soft, retro melody playing in its background. Lisa constantly tapped her stilettos until the doors opened to a certain fiftieth floor, reserved exclusively to the director's son under whom she worked as a secretary.

As soon as she placed her bag to settle down on her cubicle, the telephone on her desk rang as she noticed her boss's silhouette looking directly at her from his office. Lisa pushed her chair and tiredly made way into the cabin, mentally preparing herself with whatever work she has to manage.

"Morning Mr Jeon."

"Heard you went out with Kyungsoo last night." Her boss, Jungkook said nonchalantly as he skimmed through some of the documents scattered around his desk.

"It was a blind date set up by my friend, I wasn't aware it'd be him. We aren't dating." Lisa answered with utmost care. Romantic relationship between colleagues was regarded unprofessional and restricted from the employment contracts; as the director was a man of norms, he made sure that this rule was enforced upon all departments, serving an exception for some who acquired the highest positions in the company.

These norms were to be followed until the director would have officially declared his retirement and let his son take over his company and make amendments to the stated terms and conditions, though there wasn't a chance it was anytime near.

Yes, the contract scheming was pretty unfair on certain grounds as one might call out, although it helped the employees to present a clean record of themselves and avoid falling into scandals, specifically as GCF was a leading media company.

Jungkook raised a surprised brow at the response, the expression soon replaced by a faint grin — leaving Lisa confused if it was actually directed at her. Lisa hadn't been into relationships either; specifically when she had heard of the many office based scandals that were caused mainly due to office relationships and affairs. She didn't want to risk and be a part of it either, but her boss was making it difficult to keep her promises strong.

Jeon Jungkook was infamous for his charming looks and humble personality, although sometimes his stone cold behaviour would throw any person literally off the ledge. Lisa, just like the many other employees had fallen prey to his beautiful smile yet, she was certain whatever she felt for her boss was purely an infatuation and nothing more. She didn't wish to compete though, and instead she settled to admire him from afar. Moreover, unlike the women who wanted to be romantically involved with him only adored the superficial things like his physique and his credit cards, Lisa's crush was based on the fact of how kind and patient he was with her, correcting the every small mistake she made ever since she first took up the job.
