"Hyejin, bring me the towel."

"Hyejin, can you hold this fan?"

"Hyejin, check the files for me now."

"Hyejin, come quick!"

Hyejin this, Hyejin that.

She took a seat on the chair with an exhausted face. Other employees just looking at her face knowing that this day will come. Almost all of them have face this.

To them, their boss, Mr Jake always ask them to buy something if he's too lazy. But amongst all of them, he trusts Jungwon the most that's why he always hangout at their pantry.

Sunhee chuckled and put a bottle of coke on the table, "take a few sip Hyejin. You must be so exhausted today."

"Mr Jake keeps calling your name since this morning. We saw him rest in your car. I hope you don't get mad on him because most of us used to get the same treatment." Daeun added.

"I thought you have a special position to Mr Jake because he willingly went to States before but right now I realised he treats us equally. Cheer up, Hyejin." Jihoon patted her shoulder.

Pft...

Only if you guys knew.

Hyejin slightly nodded and continued sipping the coke. She took a long deep breath because she's holding herself from shouting at Jaeyun because when nobody is around he teasingly smirked at her.

"It's okay, noona. This is your first and last time to get this kind of treatment from Mr Jake." Jungwon gave her a very sweet smile along with his dimple, "thank you, Jungwon!"

Suddenly, someone coughed to catch their attention. It's Jaeyun who already stood behind Jihoon all this time. Of course he heard and he saw everything.

"What a hot day! Can I sit here too?" he asked and everyone started to panic with his sudden appearance.

"Yes, sure Mr Jake." Jungwon stand up and welcoming their boss to join them. Apparently, Jungwon's seat was right next to Hyejin.

"Mr Jake, what do you think about this project side? I personally think it's very suit for hotel venue." Jihoon asked as he put the files on the table.

"I think this is a very strategic place for a hotel. Not too far from the city and can afford so many space for other stuff. We just need to visit this side for the next three months and I hope everything is under control." he commented.

"And I think that's all for today. You guys can heading back to the office but make sure eat your lunch first." he stood up and leave.

All of them bow to Jaeyun and ready to heading home. Since Jaeyun already allowed them to eat their lunch, Hyejin decided to stopped by at the Subway and Jungwon agreed.

Meanwhile waiting for the order Hyejin and Jungwon sat at one table while watching something of her phone. Suddenly, someone knocked on the table.

Both of them look up and Hyejin's eyes got widen. It's Ethan who knocked on the table and seems like he also waiting for the order.

"Ethan?"

"Can I sit here?" he asked and Hyejin quickly nodded.

"I can't believe I will meet you here and who is this cute guy next to you? One of your colleague?" Ethan asked and Hyejin awkwardly answered, "yes, we waiting for the order."

Jungwon put down his phone while leaned back looking at Ethan's face. Somehow, he could feels something because his guts tells him, something isn't good.

So, this is Ethan Lee?

Mr Jake's friend back in Australia?

He supposed to stay there ruling his company.

Why is he doing here?

"Are you coming here alone, Ethan?" Hyejin asked.

"Yes, I just met someone nearby so I decided to stop here because I'm hungry." he answered with a bright smile, eyes not leaving Hyejin's pretty face.

"It's so nice to meet you today, Ethan. But, we need t leave now because our order already done and need to pick it up. See you again, I guess?" Hyejin quickly stood up and wanted to walk away.

Trying to prevent Hyejin from walked away, Ethan held her wrist to stop her. Hyejin and Jungwon were startled by his action especially Jungwon. His gaze suddenly changed but he managed to hide it.

Hyejin awkwardly laughed while pulling your hand from his grip. There's something with the way Ethan held her hand. Strong and tight.

"Jungwon, can you pick our order first. I think I have something to talk with Ethan." the younger boy immediately agreed and walked towards the counter leaving Hyejin with Ethan.

"Ethan... What's wrong?"

"Hyejin, I think you might forgot about our agreement last time. If I meet you outside of Jake's office then you will give me your number. Since we already meet here, can I have your number?"

Hearing that question makes Hyejin's mind went blank. To go honest, she doesn't want to get involved with Ethan anymore but the universe said the otherwise.

Somehow, she regret doing the agreement.

Stupid!

Why would you suggest that?

From the counter, Jungwon watching that so-called drama scene while his grip on the paper bag getting tighter when he realised something.

He has something to do.

On Ethan Lee.
