"I've given you a month to prepare for this and to make sure everything will go along our plans smoothly,and now this?!! Do you think I am fine with this?! How can we finish it?! The event is only a week away!" It's 8am in the morning and here I am. Yelling. Well,this employees of mine have a fantastic way to ruin my day.

I ushered them to leave already as I massaged my temple. We're having an event next week,and they came here early in the morning only to say the male model is backing out for some reason. Fvck it!! This is so stupid!! I don't want to just pick someone randomly for this but it seems like I have no choice,choosing the best for this will take too long. Aish.

I sat back my swivel chair as I span with my head on the headrest. It's too early to be stressed.

Suddenly,my telephone on the table rang. I sat up straight and reached for it.

"What now?" I ask coldly. Everything seems to be a waste of time whenever I am stressed.

"Young lady,a girl is looking for you,she said she's your suitor." Ehh?? Suitor?? A girl?? that could only be...

"I told her to leave and that you're not accepting visitors but she's persistent. I decided to let you know before I let the guards drag her ou-"

"don't!! Tell her I'll be down in a minute." I said and immediately drop the call before rushing out my office and went to the elevator.

Damn. Do I miss her this bad?

Fvck. Rubyjane get a grip on your self!! You're not a teenager for pete's sake!

Yes,I'm arguing with my very own stupid self.

Ting!

Okay,forget it. Nevermind.

I thought as I am now walking my way to the lobby in a faster pace. Fighting and scolding myself for being giddy is useless now that I am almost running just to see her face.

I stopped. She's here. Sitting awkwardly at one of the chairs while looking down. A bouquet of daisies on her left side. I smiled. I fvking smiled!!!

"Lisayah" I called as I approached her. She quickly look up with her hopefull eyes and smiled as she stared at my feline ones. Cute.

"Nini!! Thank God you're here.. The Girl over there won't let me in just because I'm wearing a school uniform and she won't believe that I'm courting you." She stated while frowning and explained it like a girl who's telling her mother that a classmate of hers bullied her.

"I'm sorry about it,lili. I forgot to tell them about you,and I did not expect to see you here." I gently tapped her cheeks and smiled apologotically. She sighed.

"I just wanted to visit you,Chu unnie said you were in a bad mood since this morning,I just thought of dropping by before going to school." She stated while pouting. Yes,she have met my stupid cousin once,and I met her unnies. Fair enough,but that was hella scary moment. I never knew Irene could be that protective to someone.

"Aweee,that's so sweet of you,sweetie.  Here,do you have any class? I'd like to invite you in since you came to visit me." I offered and she smiled and shook her head.

"I have no classes for this morning,my friend called to say that the teachers are on a meeting with the dean,so classes are suspended for a while today." She replied and smiled cheekily. Stop being adorable, Manoban. I might abduct you and just keep you inside my pocket!

"Can I ask who that friend of yours is?" I asked while raising my left brow and crossing my arm which caused her to giggle. I frowned.

"It's dahyun,one of my friends in the university,we've known each other for so long,just like Seulgi and Wendy." She answered before showing me the bouquet of daisies. My fav.

"For you by the way." She said and I slowly took it from her,afraid of crumpling the very first flowers I got from her.

"This is so sweet,lili. You even put your perfume in it." I cooed as I smelled her scent from the bouquet.

"You said you love that scent so I put a little on it." She answered and rub her nape. I nodded and reached for her hand.

"I'll introduce you to,Mina. The one in the reception,and I'll tell her to let you in next time." I said as I saw her frowning. I pulled her towards the entrance and stopped in front of the front desk. Mina,Immediately bowed.

"Young lady" She acknowledge before looking behind me,frowning.

"Mina,this is Lisa,she's my suitor. From this day on,You'll let her in everytime she's here to visit me,and call her Young Master L from now on." I ordered and Mina immediately nodded though confused about it.

"Ni,I'm not their young master." She whispered and tugged on my suit. I look back at her and smiled while fixing her bangs.

"You are,sweetie,you are." I said before pulling her towards the elevator. Guess my day isn't totally ruined.

I ushered her to sit as I walk to my table and punched My secretary's number on the telephone. After a couple of rings,Joy answered. I ordered her to bring me my coffee and also a cup of milk because I won't let lisa drink coffee.

She's my baby,so she will have milk instead mwehehe.

"Woah,Ni. Your office looks so cool and the ambiance is so cozy." Lisa said and I smiled before walking towards her.

"Well, I was the one who designed it,and I'm cool,ain't I?" I smiled proudly at her and wiggle my brows.

"Geez,you're so cocky." She said and we both laughed.

"Telling the truth isn't cocky at all,right babe?" I asked and she shook her head in disbelief. I giggled.

"You should stop calling me those endearment,Ni. It's getting my hopes up high and my heart is going crazy." She complained that made me chuckle.

"But I'd love to call you those,and it isn't really a problem if your hopes are high is it?"

"It is!!" She said and I saw it in her eyes,it shows fear. She's scared I might reject her?Oh baby.

"Don't worry I already planned to be your girlfriend,it's just that for now,Nini's busy and I don't want you to feel neglected,you see,I wasn't having enough time to visit the park and meet you,right?" I softly said. Honestly,this past few days,Lisa's been so caring,and giving hints,randomly asking me to be her girlfriend already,well,It's been months since she started courting me. Time flies so fast. She asked me manytimes,but my answer is the same...
I'm scared,I'm too busy and I'm scared I'd neglect her in the future.

And on the other side I'm scared that if I keep being a coward,lisa will lose patience and would just give up. I don't want that,I love her.

But lisa never showed any signs of impatience,she understands me all the time and will always motivate me everyday even if I'm slowly lacking time. She understands me so well that she would just smile softly at me after being rejected so many times. She's just too kind and sweet, pure, sincere and understanding. Hayss.
The more I get busier,the more I got to realize her sincerity..

and that I'm fallin deeper...
