The Badass Assistant

Chapter 6

Lisa

     Jennie came out at 8:10 PM that night. I'm just waiting for her because I don't want to go home first, because she's still there, even if I really really want go home. I turned around but she ignored me. She didn't even look at me. It's OK. I just pretend to be invisible.

     I shut down the computer and waited 5 minutes before I left. That's better. I might even catch her in the elevator. Think how awkward that is. She was no longer there when I came out so I could breathe easily. It's only now that I've actually encountered a woman I want to kiss and choke at the same time. The thing is we had to endure each other for the next 3 weeks and 2 days for uncle seo joon and for my inheritance. And i'm afraid because i feel like before i reach for my deadline, i already choked her... Or kissed her.

     I took the elevator. When it opened on the ground floor, the guard greeted me with a smile. I waved at him before I left the building. And guess who I first saw on the other end of the overhang outside. I stopped for a moment, thinking about how I could escape without her seeing me. But jennie looks busy. Busy panicking.

     "How is oppah TOP?" She asked on the phone. "What happened?" And because I'm a naturally curious person ... I mean, concerned, I approached her, stood behind her and shamelessly listened to the one sided conversation. Invisible man, remember? She didn't even look at me.

     "But he's okay? He's not hurt?" Jennie asked the person she was talking to. "Okay. Good. but I hope you called me earlier, right? I know. It's still raining ... Don't oppah GD. I'll just go home alone. I'll just take a cab... Okay. Okay thank you. Yes. Okay. Bye. "

   She turned off the phone and sighed. I couldn't stand it anymore so i ask her. " Is everything okay?" Jennie was surprised and turned to me. " Oh, it's you," She said before turning her back on me again. I approached and stood next to her. She did not speak. I did not leave. She turned to the phone she was holding and shrugged.

    "My driver crashed earlier. Got a broken bone. He's okay though, thank god. But no one will pick me up."  I almost offered to take her home but I remember that I didn't have a car anymore.  "I can call you a cab," i offered. "Or UBER if you want."  She looked at me as if I told her to undress in front of me. "I can call myself a cab, thank you very much. I'm not that helpless." I just laughed in annoyance. Is this how she feel when i tease her? "Helpless? When did i said you are helpless? I offered to call you a cab! That's it. I am your assistant, remember?"

     "We are outside of the office. You're not my assistant here." I blew air and raised my hands, i surrendered. "I'm like the husband of the woman who conceived you. Living in the heat living in the cold!" I said in annoyance. "Then, why don't you quit?" She asked, smiling sweetly.

     I moved forward and stood almost nose-to-nose with her. "Why don't you fire me?" I said smirking. She knew I knew she can't fire me because of uncle seo joon. She would never do anything to hurt him. That’s one of the things Jennie and I have in common,we both loved the old man.

     "Just keep on testing me, Lisa," She challenged me through greeted teeth before she turned her back on me and walked back to the door of the building. I didn't think twic, i grabbed her arm. Sge hissed------ actually hissed----- at me.

     "Let me go," She said weakly. One thing about Jennie, she will never cause scandal. I let go of her. "Call your cab, i'll accompany you here." I command. "I don't need-------"
     "Call the damn cab, Miss Kim." I whispered angrily. "You may think i'm a total asshole but i am not going home to be able to sleep tonight without knowing if you got home or not. Make the call. Now!" I'm telling you I'm going to have multiple personality because of this woman.

     We waited on the side so that we would not block those entering and leaving the building. No one speaking. I was still annoyed with her so I didn't try to have a small talk. She was also quiet. If i know, she was just waiting  to hit me by the chanel bag she was holding. There is a cab stop in the building.

     "That's the cab." She said. I walked ahead of her. I opened the cab door for her and i said  loudly the plate number of the cab to let the driver know that I know how to start looking for him if something happens to Jennie.

     My boss got in the cab. Of course she won't tell me anything. I don't think she'll say goodbye or give me a goodbye kiss. I closed the door and repeated the plate number in my mind, i wasn't lying. I couldn’t sleep without knowing if she was home or not. For some insane reason, I liked the little brat.

     But since she won't text to say she's home, good luck to me. I just called one of my best friends jisoo to hang out.

      Sometimes people really need alcohol and friends. By Monday after a major hangover, my system was back on track. I'm okay again then.
