Blame it on the champagne

I'd seen her and her bold friend at the restaurant. I hadn't lied, she was hard to mis. Her friend had been dominating, but the black haired one her sly smile and demure manners pulled my attention her way, making me want to uncover everything underneath. I'd passed on approaching her then, but seeing her standing there in the lobby, I'd decided to flirt. Why not? what would it hurt? I'd be long since I'd gotten laid, and her smile promised sin wrapped in heaven. 

Now, despite my doubts about her, my body remembered how ready it'd been to take, take, take, and I struggled to shut it off. I struggled to focus. She consumed my thoughts.

 The night after the restaurant, she'd come to me in my dreams, leaving me to wake up to an aching hard-on I'd been forced to relieve. I'd thought about her more than I wanted to and hadn't even spoken to her. And it pissed me off. If her goal was to sway me with her body, it was fucking working, and the more it worked, the more I wanted to break it. "Mr. Kim?" Jung Min called like he'd said it more than once.

 "Yes". "Do you have anything to add?". All eyes turned to me, and I clenched my jaw, frustration bubbling up. Clearing my throat, I took a second aimlessly flip through my papers, buying time. "No. I think we covered it all". I was so caught up on this girl that I had forgotten we were in a meeting. "Great" Jung Min smiled but narrowed his eyes. He knew well enough to notice my distraction. "We're all up to date and have our assignments let's get to work people". With that everyone gathered their belongings and piled out. 

I lingered behind, watching her. It surprised me that she took the job as soon as it was announced. I tensed when Jung Min rested his hand on her shoulder, receiving her smile I couldn't stop thinking about. I knew it meant nothing. Jung Min was happily married. 

But she didn't know that. But did she care? Is she hoping to get further with him now that I was off the table? Irritation bubbled up at their easy laughter until I heard myself call his name before I knew what I was doing. "Jung Min" I barked. He blinked, turning to me with wide eyes. "Yes?". "Grab those extra files from your desk before heading to my office". "But they're on the computer file I sent". "A hard copy will be good too" I answered lamely. 

"Sure. I'll meet you there in fifteen. Jennie I'm excited to have you on the team". I clenched my fists at her easy smile. "Thank you. And please call me Vera". Jennie? What a pretty name it suits her. Now it was only me and her in the empty meeting room. I stood there waiting for her to collect her papers, studying the way her dark black bleached tip hair fell to her shoulders, no matter how many times she tucked it behind her ears.

 "Can I help you with something?" she asked, standing upright, shoulders back and chin high. She looked like she should be running her own company. "You know he's married right?". "Excuse me?". "Jung Min". Her eyes widened. "Just in case you were hoping to flirt with another man in charge to get ahead". "I wasn't...". "Maybe don't flirt with anyone here. It's best not to mix business with your own personal pleasure". Her nostrils flared over pressed lips. "I wasn't flirting with anyone". 

"Just like you didn't run into me". "That was an accident, and again, you ran into me. And if you think I'm such a threat to all the men at this company. Why did you hire me?". I decided to ignore her question stomping pass her not before turning around and asking her to get two iced americano for me and Jung Min. 

Jennie~~~

A man that stole too much of my attention with how freaking alluring, dark, and cold he was when I remembered him as anything but for the those few moments in the lobby. But he'd made an assumption and seemed determined to stick to it as I did to continue working for him. 

Despite not being able to decide if I liked looking at him more because I fantasized about slapping that perpetual scowl off his face or kissing it. "Ugh". I fell back on the bed and grabbed my phone to text the girls, keeping my response simple. 

Lisa: So, how was it? 

Me: The worst/ best day of my life.

Jisoo: Was it that bad?

Me: Yes.

Me: He's such an asshole.

Lisa: A fun one? (Wink, wink)

Rose: What a fun asshole?

Lisa: One that would spank you.

Rose: Gross.

Lisa: Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Lisa: So, does he talk down to you only to bend you over his desk later.

Me: Nope.

Lisa: That's a shame. He was hot. It's only been a week and I can still remember that rugged square jaw. 

Me: He's more of a make me do demeaning jobs and just talk down to me. Everything I do is treated as if I'm trying to sleep my way to the top. 

Lisa: Eww. What a prick. 

Me: I know. (Sad face emoji)

After talking with the girls for over 45 minutes we called it a day. As I was plugging my phone in for the night, I suddenly remembered I had a date with Hyunjin ugh could my life get any worse. 

The next morning.

"So, I take it work is going well?" I asked after clearing my throat. Hyunjin's black hair fell from its perfect scoop when he tipped to his head to the side and smiled like he saw a puppy he thought was adorable. "Of course, it is. But don't you worry your pretty little head about work. I'm good at everything I do, and your father and Kim's financing are no match for my talent. 

By some miracle I held back my eye roll when he winked. "And Jennie, I do mean I'm good at everything.
