A perfect face is staring at me deeply without showing any feelings. Now I'm scared of her, like the others. What should I do? I don't know the difference between the Khun Sam of now and the Khun Sam of ten years ago. Because the last time I saw her, she was grinning from ear to ear. But now it's rare to see a smile on her face, as if she's hiding it.
If I tell her the truth will she blame me for trying to get close?
No, denying is better.
"Good night, Khun Sam?"
I awkwardly greet her, because in situations like this, I must be polite. Khun Sam accepts my greetings and looks at me.
"I read your interview article, so I guess you like dogs."
"Yes, I did an interview, but I said I like cats."
"Hmm... I must have misunderstood." I lift my hand awkwardly to tuck my hair behind my ear.
"Even if it's cats or dogs, you are an animal person."
"Is different. Have we met before?"
The question makes my heart race as my eyes meet hers. It's like we had a fight and I'm the first to give in.
I can't fight, she's too powerful.
"We may never have met before."
"We can? What you mean?"
"It's my first day working here. I saw you earlier, but I'm not sure if you saw me?" I answered her compromisingly. And she nods in agreement.
"Ah yes, you are the new intern, Bunny."
The word 'Bunny Bunny' makes me feel that Chief M.L., whom everyone fears, is adorable. I smile unconsciously and look at her again. Did I do something wrong? Because she takes a step away from me and loses control.
"Are you okay?"
When I almost reach her, she hurries to dodge me;
"I am fine. I could be a little drunk or maybe I got sick from the smell of the bathroom."
Then she leaves towards the door, but halfway there she stops and turns towards me.
"Do we really not know each other?"
"If we had met, you would remember me, correct?"
"It is true."
For a moment she looks confused and heads towards the bathroom exit. I'm trying to control myself from showing my excitement. When she leaves, I lose control, fall to the floor and nearly black out.
Heavens... I met her unexpectedly. Besides, we talked a lot.
I'm afraid that my beautiful boss heard my heartbeat during our conversation. It was so exciting. I expected to meet her tonight, but this was so much more.
It feels so good... I am not disappointed in working here.
"You can't stop smiling. Did you get to see her? The one you've been waiting for."
My mother waiting at home starts smelling me.
"Drank?"
"Only socially, Mom."
I smile at her and nod in response.
"I met Khun Sam, I'm so excited!"
"It's not strange to get excited when you meet your idol. How was she?"
"Ah..."
I roll my eyes for a moment because I don't know how to respond.
"Everything can change, including Khun Sam. And I didn't really know her, she only smiled at me once."
