TEMPTATION | JENLISA G!P (COMPLETE)

CH 16

I climb onto the treadmill and start at a frantic past. It's been a month since Lisa and I started officially dating and my workouts have been severely suffered as a consequence, although our extremely active sex life has softened the blow somewhat. The machine I am currently pounding is courtesy of ones over protective and brown-eyed girlfriend. I just happened to casually comment on my lack of gym usage recently in an email session and I suggested that we postpone our plans for dinner that evening so that I could squeeze in an hour or so. Lisa literally blew her stack and forbade me. Her reasoning being she didn't want my half naked sweaty body in a room for an hour with men oogling me, she apparently had to endure watching the entire male popularity trying to get in my panties every single day which is utterly ridiculous. I don't think I have even been so angry and insulted,i don't need some man to dictate how i live my life. It resulted in me rebelling like a hormonal teenager and repling swiftly stating firmly that I would be heading to my gym and she shouldn't try to stop me. That night I rushed home to collect some workout clothes, as I hadn't actually planned to go but now was just to prove a point, I opened my front door only to be confronted by a brand spanking new treadmill situated in the corner of the apartment with a note attached;

* enjoy baby*

The old cliche mantra " New year, New me" is very apt. As well as a new newfriend and apartment I have recently found a job at the Koonja Publishing Inc.. It's a leading publishing house, located in downtown Seoul. It's perfect for me, their main focus is not about exploiting authors but trying to discover new talent and supporting the underdog. I fell in love with the job immediately.

"Jennie Ruby Jane Kim?"

My stomach flips at the sound of my name. Today is my interview. The job is everything I could ever dream of, this is what I envisaged when I pick my degree. Over the past few weeks I have attended interview after interview but nothing stood out, i suppose nothing could ever compared to idea of this. I stand and smooth down the black pencil skirt and white shirt. I button up my fitted blazer and take a deep breath trying desperately to calm my erratic nerves. Lisa doesn't understand why I am so anxious about this meeting, she has been trying to persuade me for days to join LMH. That is never going to happen, I swear sometimes i feel a tad suffocated by her control issues. She tried her hardest to convince me that the only reason she offered me the job was because I would flourish and be an assets to her company, when in actual fact she just wants to keep an eye on me at all times and she hates the fact I will be spending time away from her. As much as I love that she cares so much about me I need some independence, I need to do this for myself. I follow the woman who called my name into a cluttered office, the total opposite of Lisa's this has character whereas his is cold and clinical, seated behind a worn brown desk is a 30 something man.

"Minho, your 1 o'clock appointment is here." the woman ushers me in and closes the door. The man tightens his ponytail and rises from the chair.

" Hi I'm Song Min-ho and you are..." He glances down at the notepad on the desk "Jennie Ruby Jane Kim."

" Yes thats me sir, nice to meet you." he offers his hand and I gladly take it.

" Please take a seat." Mino waves a hand in the direction of the chairs in front of him " I'm very pleased you choose to apply here, I was just reading your application. It's very impressive".

" Thank you Sir. I must say I am very thankful you offered me an interview, from what i have already witnessed this company is exactly where I want to be".

" I'm very happy to hear that.." Minho smiles at me and runs a finger along the his bottom lip.

The interview lasted an hour or so and aside from the mandatory questions, it's unlike any I've ever experienced. Minho is relaxed and very un-boss like, he explains what my job involves which at the moment is only to be his assistance but he stresses that chances of promotion are extremely common especially for someone with my GPA and passion.
