Right Room

Yoohyeon and Jiu both walked out from a quiet elevator ride, Jiu smoothly went towards her office, employees greeting her, leaving Yoohyeon awkwardly standing, worried glances were seen as she scanned the huge place of working environment. She looked for an assistance to help her finding the CEO's office. Her feet started to move and she could feel that eyes were looking at her but a certain lady popped up in her face with papers on her hand, shaking and awkwardly fixing her eyeglasses with her index finger.

"Hi, I'm Sally. You're Yoohyeon, right?" She asked as Yoohyeon nodded and genuinely smiled at the girl. Sally took Yoohyeon's wrist and motioned her towards her desk which was completely organized just like any other desk in the building.

"Just sit there. The president just arrived, we'll just wait for her signal and you're good to go" She frantically said as Yoohyeon fiddled her fingers on her thighs.

"Do you have a question?" The silver haired girl furrowed her brows, thinking of a possible query about the president.

"Well, I just noticed as I entered the building, y'all are like crazy panic just like a storm coming in" She sighed, curious of what the staff would answer but as soon as she opened her mouth for a response, another employee butt in to say that the president was now ready to accept visitors.

"Okay, just don't say anything that would irritate her. Good luck" Sally helped Yoohyeon stood up and pushed her towards the CEO's office.

"Here you go. Just don't talk back. And you'll be fine." Sally gave a thumbs up and a worried smile to the silver haired girl who was pushed back inside the office.

She can see a woman in a chair on her phone facing backwards, she waited for the woman to finish the call while piercing her eyes at how big and classy her office is. She sighed heavily, stil not moving in her position, waiting.

"Should I greet her first?"

"What should I do, my gosh Yooh"

"You should have leave a mental note to yourself earlier"

"Yes, I'll have that tomorrow. Bye" Yoohyeon composed herself as she knew that the CEO had already finished the call and gave her best smile. The woman stood up from her chair, groaning.

"I see you're here. Take a sit" The woman offered, facing the shocked Yoohyeon as she clearly knew how familiar the voice and her face is.

"No it can't be. Not her. Shit"

"Should I just get out?"

Yoohyeon moved backwards, as she tried to escape from the vicinity. The woman rolled her eyes and slowly walking towards her direction.

"Uhm, I think I have a wrong rroom" Yoohyeon stammered from her words, raising her hand and went towards the door.

"You are in the right room, Yooh" Yoohyeon cursed herself as she buried her face with her hands. She panicking inside, the door was in proximity all she had to do was to push it and leave but then, she was stopped.

"Just forget about what you promised, you're here for business. I'm Kim Minji" Minji patted the silver haired girl's back, offering her right hand for a handshake as Yoohyeon tried to looked away from her gaze, accepting her hand.

"Do you need water? Some snacks?" MInji asked while filing some papers on her drawer, Yoohyeon looked down.

"Uhm, I'm sorry if we keep meeting this way, I swear I-i did not mean it. My friends were just too convincing anndd...." She trailed her words.

"No, we're here for business. Just set aside those first encounters we have. You're pretty much talented, that's why I chose you" Minji said in a serious tone wherein Yoohyeon was getting used hearing that type of tone from her.

The silver haired girl chuckled still not believing the context she was in. A president that she took to a bar and got drunk because of her and accidentally kissed her soft cherry lips.

"I should not be here"

"I can just decline the offer"

"And work on the shop forever, just not with a president of a company I once slept with"

"I see you're thinking too much. But we really need your talent. Don't let this opportunity just go on waste. We promise that we will take good care of you" Minji said in assurance looking at the younger girl who have a battle within herself.

"I th-think I need water" She said abruptly as Minji nodded, stood up from her seat and took a glass of water, giving it to her.

"We will just have some legal papers for you to sign up. It's a contract. You can read it before you sign it and just text me or call me. Here's my business card" Minji gave her a piece of paper containing her number and a folder: Kim Yoohyeon's Contract.

"Seems like you can't think properly now, so I'm giving you time to think. And I hope it's good news" She stated, now in an almost pleading voice. Yoohyeon could sense that Minji was hoping that would accept the offer setting aside their awkward past.

Yoohyeon nodded. "I-I'll think about it, I hope I can let my friends in?" She added a proposition which made Minji's head ached.

"I-i don't think I can do that. But I'll try, I can't promise" Minji responded which earns a respectful nod from the younger girl.

"Sure" Yoohyeon softly said, standing up from her seat which made Minji looked up to her.

"I hope we could uh work together in the future" Minji taking Yoohyeon's hand and tapping it with her other hand.

"I-I have to go, I'll reach out to you if I made my mind, Ms. President" The silver haired girl bowed before heading out the office but she stopped her tracks as she pondered.

"You are definitely a scary person, just look at your employees" Yoohyeon finally said, walking out from the office, giggling, receiving a confused and piercing eyes from the staffs.

Minji shook her head, still glaring at the silver haired girl as she followed her every move, exiting her office.

"I thought you changed, but you're still annoying" She groaned and landed herself to her office chair, looking through the window.
