Shades Of Lust

Chapter 9 | Secretary Jeon

Jungkook

Have you ever felt like something unusual is happening with you? When everything seems like a puzzle but at the same time it feels right and you do not know what to believe and what not. The same thing was happening with me. My mind was playing tricks with me, but the kind of tricks left me breathless. In my twenty years of life I've had my own share of shit from life but this seemed like going to ruin me for good.

I would be lying if I say I was not affected by the intimidating stare as I sat there. My mind was still trying to process all the information till now. The woman sitting in front of me was none other than the CEO of the company with whom I flirted with weeks ago and let's not forget about the not so embarrassing boner incident. Times where I wanted to kill myself but then again that would be more embarrassing.

I couldn't tell what she was thinking, maybe she was also amused by the turn of events but I could be wrong. I've been wrong many times, about myself or about other people. So I chose not to assume something out of my delusional mind.

Maybe at first I wanted to get laid but right now I just wanted this fucking job. I could be anything but stupid.

"Mr. Jeon" there it was, the voice that sent shivers to my core. I blinked, my hands sweating. I wondered if I was looking like a fool at that moment. "We meet again" but at the wrong place.

Fate really has its own way to play games with me.

The air got stuck around my throat, suffocating me. She was fucking beautiful. Her tan skin glowing like gold in the sunlight coming through the huge window glass. I might've started liking women in suits from that day. Or maybe the only woman. My eyes roamed on her face more than they should have been. My eyes on her, her on mine.

I didn't know who broke the eye contact first but I could feel my ears getting red.

A low chuckle, vibrating my senses as I stared at her through a dreamy haze. I am not someone to simp over someone shamelessly but everyone has their moment I guess, I was no exception. And that moment I knew I would have gone through any hazard for her.

"Please sit" her voice pierced through my heart as my legs walked forward on their own as if they were bound to comply with her words.

Having a crush on a stranger was definitely okay but not on your new boss who could actually fire you on your first day. I shouldn't have fallen into temptation. Oh! How scandalous it would've been to sleep with your boss but at least god had prevented that for now. There was no way we would have gone that far just because we talked for what like two times, no way I would have gone that far. Or maybe I would have.

I shook my head from thinking anything other than saving my job.

I sat down on the chair while her eyes remained on me. June was her name, Lee June. The two weeks had felt like eternity after I met her on a random Saturday night, she was someone who had bewitched me. I wanted to ask her where she was, why she hadn't showed up next Saturday when my eyes were looking for her in the crowd. Without knowing I had started to expect, to hope, to belong but eventually my hope crumbled down.

I didn't want to come out as some creepy stalker who got attached easily so I swallowed down my complaints.

"Do you have any questions regarding your position?" she asked, now looking at my resume. Everything came crashing down on my head. How the fuck I was supposed to work with someone who affected me so much and not to forget a Personal Secretary. I was doomed.

"No Ma'am" I replied, the word ma'am tested bitter on my tongue as I looked down at my hands, several little cuts on my calloused palm. Pretty sure she could sense my nervousness.
