The Badass Assistant

Chapter 5

Lisa

     I'm not late today. Not so much. Who'll go to the office at 7am in the morning? It's my brother, right! And I'm just late now because of this bullshit Starbucks. As usual there is already a light in jennie's office ( Jennie is what I call her in my mind. Well only in my mind.) when i reach at my desk, i went to her office door, i knocked and then turn the door knob.

     She was already behind her desk, typing something. Her hair was in a bun and she looked adorable.
     "Good morning, ma'am!" I greeted her happily as I approached her table. "You're late," She said, but I just thought what she said was "Good morning, my wonderful, gorgeous assistant."

     "Only by 7 minutes and that because of your coffee." I placed down the take out cup of her coffee at her desk, And then i get my smartphone in my pocket to open my calendar app. "You have a 9:30 AM appointment with Mr. Style, and a lunch meeting with Mr. Song at 11:30." Jennie frowned before lifting her head. "There's nothing written on the calendar that I have 9:30."

     "Ows?" I looked back again at my phone. "Mr. Style called yesterday to re-schedule the appointment from 2 Pm to 9:30 AM." My bangs were almost messed up when she heave a sigh. "You put the appointment on the office calendar, Ms. Manoban. Not on your phone." I smiled. "I will, ma'am. As soon as i learn how to use the calendar." I'm pretty sure jennie whispered cussed word. "Send me the files regarding the Harry style Group. I thought i have time to review while i'm eating." She said irritated.

     "If you are eating, ma'am. You shouldn't be studying anything at all." I'm sure she'll start to explode in anger. "Just...... Send me the files, Lisa." I smiled again. "Yes, ma'am."

     "And don't come in here unless i call for you. I don't wanna see you whole day." She said. "Whatever you say, Miss Kim. Have a great day!" I went out of her office and closed the door. I hold back a laugh. I went to my desk and open my computer. She doesn't want to see me? She will cone out soon, I'm sure in 3...2...1....

     Her door opened as if on cue and I looked at jennie. She sighed and held the take out cup of Starbucks. "What. Is. This?" I look at her innocently. "Starbucks caramel macchiato, ma'am." I really thought she would pour me the coffee.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     I was the one who drink the caramel macchiato when jennie left it on my table. I don't want to waste that? I woke up early in the morning just to buy this coffee. But i had to admit it, it was worth it seeing the smoke coming out of Jennie's nostrils.

     I raised my head as I felt someone approaching my desk.
     The guy is tall, looks rich, looks like arrogant. I don't like the aura of this monkey so i stand up. That's when i noticed i'm taller than him, i'm more fit, and of course more handsome. Yeah?

     "Can i help you?" I ask. He looked at me from head to toe, before he smirked. What ate you smirking at?  He folded his arm. "You are jen's new assistant?" He asked. "Yes, Can i help you?" I ask again, and he again looked at me from head to toe. Dude, if you're going to find something insulting about what I'm wearing, I'll tell you that my tie is even more expensive than everything you're wearing. I know it because it's hermes. What now if it's my brother's tie, I'm wearing it.

     "They're right, you're knew." He said smirking. "Yes, Can i help you?" I asked again. He didn't answer, He just stared at me smirking as if he was waiting to recognise him.

     We are in a middle of staredown when suddenly the door of Jennie open and she went out. "Oh, you are already here Minho." Jennie looked back and forth at me and minho. And then she ask. "What's happening?"

     "Your assistant wouldn't let me in." I glance at Jennie, and her forehead was furrowed again. I'm used to her, she's always irritated at me. I'll admit that most of the time, I really annoy her on purpose. But it doesn't seem right now because I'm just doing my job. "Nevermind her." she reached for Minho's arm before pulling him away.

     I watched them until they got out in ou executive offices. I didn't know that i'm frowning. I go back to my desk and log in to intranet of our office. I search for Song Minho in the employee directory. If he just told me who he was, I would let him into jennie's office ... After I searched for him, ask him what his intentions to jennie and make sure he didn't think of making a fool of himself because I was the one he would face.

     When i found out who is Song Minho. I closed my eyes. That's why the idiot thinks that I  should know him, Because he turned out to be one of the managers of the company who was based in another branch.

     And because i'm a curious person, i google him also. And Mr. Google is very kind because I haven't finished typing the word and the he suggest the search word: Song Minho, Jennie Kim dating. I no longer read articles,. For some reason, my day is ruined. Why should I overwrite it?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     "Can i talk to you inside my office?" Jennie called me when she got back to the office. I looked to see if she was with that idiot but she was alone. I got up and followed her into the office. She closed the door and went to the table to sit there. She took a deep breath. "Minho didn't like what you did earlier." I just fucking bet. "You seem to be rude to him. I think i'm going to agree. You're my assistant Lisa, not a bodyguard. You ask people to wait if someone looking for me. You don't harrass them. And you must certainly don't harrass my best friend." I am a very calm person, i know that. I am not easily get angered and I am not easily affected by what people say about me. So I don’t know where the sudden anger I felt came from.

     I should have turn around. Really. I should have. But i think I'm full. I stepped closer and jennie looked at me again, one eyebrow raised. "I know my mistakes, Miss Kim." I said through gritted teeth. "I don't know how to answer the phone. I don't know how to use an office calendar, and I'm still lost on the shared drive. But you know i learned that. I talked to nayeon and she taught me already, I now have a spiel on the phone. I've updated your calendar. And I've created a shortcut on my desktop to the shared drive." " But you what i can't be learn? Your personal issue. You know why? Because you didn't clarify that to me, because you decided not to trust that I could do this job. I transferred a call from Kim Hanbin because i didn't know that she's your stalker ex. I don't know. No one told me. I havr many talent but mind-reading isn't one of them. " I bent down, pressed my palm to the tabletop. "And your poor best friend, ma'am? I asked him what can i do to him and he did not answer. If he told me who he was, instead of challenging me to  staring contest. I would have ask him to sit down, got him coffee, even massaged his goddamned feet if that what's he want while his waiting for you. It would have been that simple if he hadn't decided to challenge me to a pissing contest, then whined to you about me doing my job." " You know what? I think you have to be sure what you want from me. It’s hard that we both don’t know what are your expectations from me. Think about it and I'm just there at my desk. Memorize an organizational chart so I can get to know all the people I have to massage there foot with, when they look for you. Just send me a memo to tell me who's your ex is, so that i can stop them  right away inside the elevator." I watched jennie. She was just looking at me, her face is emotionless. I didn't give a fuck. I really didn't.

     I don't know why i am very angry, because i could usually tolerate more shit than what she just handed me. Am i sensitive because of Minho? And just the name of that idiot makes my blood boil again. Yeah, Minho is the reason. Just the thought of that idiot , I forgot that I was a jolly and naughty person.

     I turned around and got out of her office. I made sure I didn’t knock down the door. I might be given an award. But admit it, I was good earlier. Convincing isn’t it?
