The Billionaire's Sunshine |BOOK 1|

CHAPTER 5

BO-Hyun

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What the fuck is wrong with me?! I was just about to ask her to be my date for the fashion week. If she didn't call me Mr Ahn I had almost forgotten that we are in the office and she was now my secretary.

I sighed as i sat back in my chair, wondering if i did the right thing. I mean I can invite any staff to accompany me but I don't know why I wanted her to be there with me.

It's already the evening. And Jisoo has just informed me that my chopper is ready on the rooftop. I walked out of my office and stop when I don't see my secretary in her place. Where is she?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A small giggle echoes through the corridor and I step forward in curiosity. The view infront of me shouldn't bother me as much as it is. Jisoo and Suho an employee from the accounting department seem to be having a long conversation.

Jisoo laughed again at something he said and his hand brushed her arm. Who gave him the permission to touch her? I clench my jaw and clear my throat. Jisoo look past Suho's head and lock eyes with me. To be honest, I wish I was not the boss right now and perhaps she would be laughing at something I said. Even though my brothers say I don't have a sense of humor.

Jisoo seemed unfazed by my presence which irritated me more than I care to admit because when she's around me I can't think of anything straight. Suho realised and awkwardly bow. I nodded my head and walked past him to Jisoo
"Miss Kim, wouldn't you escort me to my chopper? I raised my eyebrows in question.

"Sure, Mr Ahn." she walked ahead of me as I nodded to Suho again before following her. We waited for the elevator side by side when she raised her hand to cross her arm. Unintentionally it brushed my little finger. Heat consumed my body and I wanted to hold her at this instance.

The elevator was packed and I was grateful , so it wouldn't be just us. But by the time we reached the 5th floor, the elevator emptied and we still had 7 floor more to go. Silence consumed the space and I tried my best to avoid making any sounds to the extend that I breathed slower.

It was a comfortable silence. Just me and her in an elevator, If only we could be like this around each other more. No arguments or snarky comments but just us in the same space.
"Why were you looking for me sir?" I sighed when she called me sir again. I know it's the right norm but it is so formal it annoys me when it's from her.

"Hyun. I said call me Hyun." I pressed my lips together and looked down at my shiny shoes, to avoid looking at her. "What were you doing with Suho in that corridor?" I tried to keep my tone nonchalant.

"Nothing much, we were just catching up." She spoke hesitantly after some seconds. The elevator was taking more time than I had estimated. I need to get out of here. Now.
"Catching up? You know each other that well already?"

"I believe we are allowed to have friends in the office if I'm not wrong plus why do you ask?"
Here we go again. I don't know what I asked wrong just now that she has to get so defensive.
"You are surely allowed Miss kim to have colleagues as you work together but I'm afraid to have personal conversation session during working hours is not the most appropriate thing." I spoke with my former tone but a little more softer.

I was going away for the weekend which meant I would not see her and I was not happy at all I don't know why. Contradictingly, I should be since I rarely get the opportunity to take weekends off even though the event is work related. The elevator door opened and a panoramic view came into sight as we stepped on the rooftop.

My chopper was ready to leave, but my heart was saying otherwise. I didn't want to leave without her. "Jisoo'ssi- I" I looked at her and she squinted her eyes, her hair flowing on her beautiful face as she struggled to keep them in place due to the wind.

I don't know where I'm gathering these bravado momentary courage today, this is the second time I'm attempting something as such today.
I took a step forward and minimized a little bit the distance between us. My hand reached forward toward her face, but her eyes stayed still and looked at me.

As if She was trying to comprehend what I was doing. I brushed a strand of hair off her cheeks to put it behind her ear. My thumb brushed against her jaw again and the rest of my fingers disappeared behind her hair, as i cup her cheek.

We stared at each other for a few seconds, until I knew I had to let go and I did. I let go of her cheek and stepped back and straightened my suit. Her eyes were wild while her face stayed void of expression. I wish I knew what was going on in that pretty head of hers.

"I'll see you soon Jisoo-sii." I gave her a thin lip smile and moved toward my awaiting chopper. I so wanted to look back but I couldn't. If I did I wouldn't be able to leave at all. I needed this, we needed this distance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I reached my hotel and took a quick shower. Jaehyun informed me earlier that he would be coming tommorrow instead of tonight. Which meant I had a night alone to spend. I took my laptop on my lap as I sat on the bed. I pressed play on the recent drama that I was watching.

The night gradually passed with each episode until I finished watching it. It was 3 in the morning,I stretched my arms and curled in the blanket comfortably. I barely slept at nights, my brothers were concerned with my insomnia.
Now that it's been years, I've grown used to it, 4 hour of sleep in enough for me to get through a whole day. With coffee obviously.

I wonder what is she doing right now?
