Ari woke up to an alarm, surprised as to why there's an alarm set for 6 in the morning and why her personal body warmer is not the one to wake her up. She searched in the gym and the bathroom but he was no where to be found. She checked her phone if he texted her which he did,
Good Morning, Love. I have a meeting with the international party right now, won't be coming home.
She sighed, feeling sorry for her boyfriend. Who holds a meeting at 6 in the morning? She finished up with her workout, got ready and head for breakfast.
"Mary, Sir won't be here for breakfast, pack both of ours along with some orange juice."
She was on her phone when she got an idea, something she craves for, taking the advantage of the situation, she took her chance,
"Mary, please get me a cup of coffee.""But Ma'am there is no coffee in the house."
Of course, what was she even expecting.
"That's fine I'll just have it on my way.""But Ma'am-"
Ari eyed her, and few silent words were shared between them, saying not to tell anything about this conversation to sir."Ok Ma'am. Here's your breakfast, have a nice day." Ari smiled at her and uttered a 'you too' in return.
On reaching office she directly went to the 40th floor to the CEO's office.
Taehyung had an early morning because of his assistant. His assistant Lisa, made up a mistake with the timings of the other country. Taehyung got to know about it in the morning and the guy had to rush to office.He hated it, to leave the warm body of his girlfriend, he loved to wake her up when she tries to make an excuse for skipping their morning workout together.
He was angry at Lisa but managed it saying such things happens when you handle a whole company in this case two, he let her go this time but not without a warning to be careful to see such things won't happen again.
A knock on his door, a come in and in came his girlfriend holding her office bag but not the usual one, today it was quite big than her regular bag. She closed the door behind her."Ms. Lee, What a pleasant surprise? What brings you here? Anything I can do for you?" his tone full of sarcasm with a playful smile.
"Actually Mr. Kim, I'm here to save you from breaking any of our rules" she continued the teasing.
He gave her a questioning look.
"Rule no.3, remember? No skipping any meals of the day. I'm here with our breakfast." She showed her bag and started opening the tiffin on the side table seating herself on the couch.
There were omelet rolls, fruits and muesli mixed with dry fruits. They both sat together and started eating."Why are you not drinking the juice?"
"I-I am full" she shuttered.
He didn't seem to notice her hesitance or simply chose to ignore it and got back to work.
She made her way towards her department, cautious as if anyone can catch her stealing something. She saw a crowd gathered around someone's desk. Immediately recognizing the Kim's staring at something while her friends were snickering at the back. Getting curious she moved to see what's happening but accidently laughed out loud, glares thrown towards her made her gulp.
Everyone kept staring at the goldfish in silence, swimming in water of the drawer which was turned into a 'Fish tank drawer'. Indeed, Jiwon got her revenge.Jennie came, she only glanced once towards the drawer as if everything was normal and informed the team to gather for the meeting regarding the project with the boss.
The meeting started with both the teams present and the boss at center per usual. There was tension in the air, the Kim's seem to not like the prank they dared to pull. But no one spoke anything about it trying their best to maintain the decorum.
When the CEO starting speaking, Ari couldn't help but stare at him. How with every word, his hands showed gestures, the long fingers which makes her feel so good curling up, but then her mind drifted to something else which was also long and made her see stars every single time. She can feel the temperature rising up, so shrugging her thoughts she started to observe the man in front.She used to stare at him the same way in the library when they were in college. The face, the nose, the lips all same but the eyes, they have more sparks now, according to her it made him look ethereal, hairs and suit adding to it.
"Ms. Lee?" a nudge from an elbow of her friend made her come back to the present. She was literally drooling, stupid Ari.
"Yes, Mr. Kim."
"Are you alright?"
"All fine.""Great, then let's hear out the presentation."
Gathering herself back, almost like a switch she turned serious and started the explanation. By the end of it, she was nervous if the idea will pass. She looked at everyone taking in the expression but the stupid ethics got in the way as they all had the same serious look."Ms. Lee, you may start working for the project with the team. I'm looking forward to the results." Mr. Kim said with an approving tone.
She was excited, to start the whole thing and started thinking about different scenarios. She handed the file to Tae which needed all the signatures of approval. While waiting for the said person to finish, she caught someone staring at him.
Sung-Kyung was staring towards them but blushed and moved her head when Ari looked at her. Ari knew her boyfriend is handsome, and she is not even the jealous type but the idea of someone staring at him when she herself can't do it for long in the office felt weird. Maybe she is just thinking too much.
Suddenly she felt the weird feeling grow, but she figured out it was her stomach's doing. She needed to use washroom. Soon the meeting was dismissed and she fast walked towards the washroom leaving her friends behind. She entered the place with a loud thud. Someone was about to enter the only washroom which was vacant and that someone was Jennie.
Both Ari and Jennie were holding the door.
"Let me go first."
"Leave I was here before.""I've more strength, you'll get hurt." Ari gritted her teeth.
"I said leave the door." Jennie pulled with more force. Oh, how wrong Ari was. Where did the other got so much power from? But it was no time to think that, she can't control it for long and she was forced to plead."Please, I beg you, I've to go." She continued,
"I can do anything you want, just let me go."The weight on the door got light an indication that the other let go. She shut the door behind getting into business. She felt relief, almost got saved from shitting her pants.
Taking her face into her hands she let out a muffled scream, she was so embarrassed, she showed weakness to her position rival. Stupid Ari, promised her to do anything. Ugh!
Shocked, Surprised, Saved.
Turns out the bitchy Ms. Kim is not a bitch at all. Not only she promised to keep her secret safe but only gave her to work on few pdfs.
Once she reached her cabin, she took few medicines and started reviewing the documents only to find out that she gave her to correct the fucking typos, turns out she was wrong about her not being a bitch, she gave her the work of the interns.
