Mr. Lee

18

To say Heeseung's mind was blank would be an understatement, after Jaeje's outburst earlier she hadn't said a word to him and made sure to sit in front with the driver through their ride to the meeting. 

Once they had been dropped off, Jaeje quickly stepped into the office, wanting to get the day over with already and head somewhere to cool off. 

"Ah, Mr. Lee welcome" the girl at the receptionist desk greeted as she bowed at both of them. 

"Let me show you to the meeting room" she directed them towards the room where the meeting would be held, deciding to completely ignore the solemn mood radiating from both of them. 

"Mr. Hak, always a pleasure" Heeseung put on his award winning smile as they came face to face with the CEO of the company. 

"Pleasure is all mine, and this must be...?" Mr. Hak directed his attention towards Jaeje, all too interested. 

"Lee Jaeje, his secretary" Jaeje introduced herself as she gave a small bow. 

"Well you're both welcome, shall we start?" he directed them towards their seats as the projector was turned on, a white image appearing on the screen. 

"Of course" and we that their meeting began.

"Let's go talk in my office" Mr. Hak said to Heeseung as they walked out of the meeting room, Jaeje and the other high ups in the office following behind. 

"I'll wait out here" Jaeje said as the two CEO's walked into the elevator, heading up for the private office. 

"I should go sit in the car" Jaeje sighed tired and began walking towards the entrance, realizing at some point she must have taken a wrong turn because the hall didn't seem familiar. 

"You were meant to go right, not left" a voice spoke up and Jaeje turned to see one of the executives, definitely the youngest one looking in his mid-20's, from the meeting pointing towards the direction she should have apparently gone.

"Oh thank you" Jaeje expressed her gratitude as she let him lead her out of the building. 

"My pleasure, can't say I didn't enjoy seeing you walk around all confused" the man spoke up, a teasing smile on his face. 

"I'm sure you did, thanks again" Jaeje said as they reached the reception, happy to finally be able to leave. Fortunately, it was almost time for lunch. 

"Mr. Sook, I see you're getting well acquainted with Miss Lee" Heeseung spoke up as he joined the two, his eyes narrowing. 

"She was a little lost and my kind heart couldn't handle that, it was nice seeing the both of you" the man gave a little bow at both of them before turning away, most likely heading to his office. 

Jaeje didn't wait any longer and walked out the building, entering the already pulled up car, Heeseung joined seconds later and the back, not saying a word either. 

For the first time since she's worked with Heeseung, he actually keeps his distance for the day and doesn't bother her, going into his office to work on his own thoughts. 

"My life is really depressing" Jaeje speaks up to Nari and Aera as they sit in the small restaurant Jaeje was in earlier that morning, before she was practically chased away by some nosy staff members. 

"Aww don't say that, I'm sure you have a lot going for you" Aera pacifies as they wait for their food, hoping it would cheer her friend up. 

"Does she?" Nari asked innocently only to receive glares from two. 

"What I really want is some chicken, like a whole lot to just forget this bull crap" Jaeje whined, even though she knew a large amount would leave her useless for the day and she still needed to work. 

"Listen, I've worked here long enough to know that you're not his longest reigning secretary, but you're definitely the most effective, you've used his interest in you to everyone's advantage, I'm telling I saw one more bitch whining about being my next boss I would have been fired for assault" Aera tells her, which at least gets her a smile. 

"I told him to keep his side pieces at home, I was not going to walk into another make out session" Jaeje informs, shuddering at the reminder of her first day. 

"Do you want to tell me he hasn't tried anything with the both of you?" Jaeje asks, having been wondering about that.

"Secretaries are usually the ones who are always closest to him, so he makes sure it's someone to his liking, and besides he might be all fun and games, but he does know the people to keep around for the business, so sadly the rest of us are left with only his flirting" Nari pouts, seemingly disappointed. 

"Oh get your head out of the gutter, does she seem to be enjoying herself" Aera rolls her eyes, taking a sip of her coffee. 

"Yeah well even though he'll probably get tired of me, it's not every day you have the attention of someone that handsome" Nari whines, and Jaeje can actually relate with her on that. She more or less believes she's a hypocrite, going on and on about him staying away knowing it does nothing but fuel his need to get closer to her instead. Attention seeker, is what she likes to call herself. 

"By the way, you're normally not here with us, what's the situation on ground today?" Aera asks. 

"I think just like anyone who sees me right now, he has sensed that I am simply not in the mood for anything whatsoever and would like to reflect on myself while chowing down on unhealthy food" Jaeje tells them in a solemn tone, as if just realizing this herself. 

"Ok can one of you change the topic to some super cute guy you're interested in or someone you'd like to bitch about? I'd like to drown myself in someone else's problems for today" she tells them as their food finally arrives.
