Ugh! My back hurts from working for so long. I checked my watch; it was nearly 8 p.m.
Ms.Son, on the other hand, continues to work like a robot. How could she be so engrossed with her work? How can be she so calm and cold?
'That's why she's the CEO of a well-known company.' I sighed as my mind hopped in. But I'm glad she started giving me work, even if it's not very important, since it means I'm not wasting my time.
Boredom was killing my body, so I yawned and rested my head on the table.
"Are you tired?" Ms. Son had inquired. I gave her a quick glance and shook my head no.
"It seems so. You are now free to return home. I'll be back later. Is it necessary for me to contact the driver?" Ms. Son questioned, her pen resting on the file as she looked at me.
"I'm fine, No problem." With a nervous smile, I said, Ahh!! I want to go home and sleep!!
"Let's get a drink together, shall we? What you say?" Ms. Son questioned, and I was taken aback but gave a small nod.
She motioned for me to take a seat on the couch and reached for a bottle of red wine from her wine rack.
Oh! Have I mentioned it? In her office and home, she may have the best wine collection. They'd vanish in the blink of an eye if I were an alcoholic. But she is fortunate that I am not one of them. The bitter, thick taste irritates me, but it refreshes my body and mind.
She poured a glass for both myself and me and handed it to me.
While circling the glass, I thought to myself, 'This wine is way too dark like blood.'
"Take a sip from the glass. Don't judge a book by its cover." Ms. Son remarked as she took a small sip from her glass.
I sightly nodded as took a sip and 'Fuck!! 'It's delicious!!!'
I turned to face her after hearing a chuckling sound. She was smiling and looking at me, and I was completely absorbed in her gaze. She is stunning when she smiles.
"When you were shocked by the taste, your face was so cute." She said, but was taken by surprise by her own words and averted her gaze.
When I looked down at my feet, I noticed that my ears had begun to turn red. She called me cute. Ahh!!
We fell into silence, which was satisfying. While she was focused on her glass, I was secretly staring at her.
'What makes me suddenly want to hug her?' Is this for the sake of the alcohol? Why am I staring at her over the first place?'
"Your glass is empty. Let me fill it." Ms. Son said but I nodded my head no.
"Two glasses are sufficient. I can't control myself if I drink too much." I said, but she smirked.
"So, who told you to be in control tonight? Don't worry, my alcohol tolerance is strong. The rest will be handled of by me." As she poured my glass, she said.
"But-"
"You put in a lot of effort the last few days, and you liked the taste, so keep going." I smiled inside as she said this as she walked over to her table. She cares for me. She is not as difficult as she emerges.
Chaeyoung's P.O.V

I felt the urge to smoke, so I went to my desk, took a cigarette from my desk drawer, and lit it.I could feel her eyes on me as I walked towards the glass window, but I concentrated on blowing up my smoke. Thunder and clouds can be heard; it appears that rain is on its way.
I've noticed her staring at me for the past few days. Not with love-dovie eyes, but with curiosity. But the more time I spend with her, the stronger my desire to touch her, smell her jasmine scent, and kiss her. I know maybe I am sounding pervert but believe me; I never felt this type of indescribable urge for anyone.
My mind chimed in, 'You started liking her, Chae.'
'However, it could just be an attraction, right?'
'Who said that attraction couldn't lead to love? What if she's the one you've been looking for for a long time?'
'However, she will never like me like that.' 'Perhaps she has someone in her life already.'
'But-" my thoughts were cut short when I felt a hug from behind me. I recognize the scent; her hands encircled my waist, drawing me closer to her. For a brief moment, my mind went blank and I felt my heart stop beating.
"Mi-Mina?" I blurted something out, and she nudged my back with her nose.
"Ca-Can we stay like this for some-sometime?" Mina muttered under her breath, and I caressed her hand over my stomach, assuring her it was fine.
I understand that she may have reached her limit of tolerance, but it feels good to be hugged with care and affection. I can't recall the last time someone hugged me like she did.
"Are you all right, Mina?" I asked, tapping her on the back of her hand, and she clenched her grip.
"I'm not sure why I'm feeling so lonely. Ray, my cute do-dog, I miss my home." I turned to face her as she spoke in a cracked tone.
As I cupped her face and smashed the cigarette butt underneath my feet, she looked at me with teary eyes. "I understand how difficult it is for you. But, at some point, everyone must step out of their comfort zone and leave everything behind in order to make a fresh start." She lean on my touch, slowly closing her eyes, as I said while caressing her cheeks.
Unconsciously, I smiled as I saw her close her eyes to feel my touch, but I was sad at the same time; she is having trouble coping with things. Am I being too harsh with her?
"Ms. Son, why are you so lonely? Why do you put so much pressure on yourself?" Mina asked, softly opening her eyes as she took my hand from her cheek and kissed the palm of my hand.
'What did she just do?' Chae! Now is the time to take control of the situation! You are sober while she is drunk!! 'Get rid of her before something bad happens!!'
I immediately took my palm in my hand and took a step back.
"Mina, you're drunk. Let's get going before it starts to rain. I am calling the driver."
"OK~ but I love your smilee~So beautiful~~," she said with a gummy grin as she fell over me and I managed to keep my balance.
"Good night, Ms. Son," she murmured over my shoulder as she dozed off, and I smiled at her cuteness.
I sat her down on the couch and summoned the driver to assist me in lifting her into the car.I sat beside her and gently placed her head on my lap, caressing her hair.
Mina, what are you up to? Why do you always act as if you genuinely care about me? Is this all just for show or do you like it? If you keep doing things like this, I'm afraid I'm going to fall for you.
