At exactly 10 min on the dot someone called on Miss. CEO's phone.

The conversation goes like this on her side.
"Yes."
"Okay"
Then she dropped the call.Thats it. "Our food is here." She told me.

She presses something on her phone and the door automatically opens. A man in a suit brings 2 bags. He placed it on the coffee table. "Mam." He bows and goes out of the room. Then the door closes again.

Miss. CEO removes the containers from the bag. And arrange it neatly on the table. There is a bowl that contains rice with fried pork or chicken on top of it. On one rectangular container there is a small rectangular size rice with. something on top. It is as big as a matchbox. Then there is also rice like a circle with something in between. There is like a dark green like belt that holds this food together. There is also red juice.

On the last bag she brings out a paper bag that brought stars in my eyes. A bag from McDonalds and she he brings out a large fries, 12pcs Nuggets and a large coke.

She hands me a spoon and fork .
"Eat now."

I am overwhelmed because there is so much food in front of me.

"What is that Miss. Ceo?" I ask her

Her face scrunch up in distaste? I have no clue why .

"Miss. CEO? That's too formal and we are alone. You can call me Kim jisoo."

This time I am the one who scrunch my face.

"Kim jisoo? That kind of feels disreputable! Miss. CEO. You are my boss you know."

"That is right I am your boss so You should follow my instruction if you
are alone with me call me by my name not Miss. CEO. Okay?"

"Fine. If you don't mind asking what is your full name?"

"You work here for almost 10mos and you never know my full name?"

"Hey!" I unconsciously slap her arm.
"In my defense no one calls you in the office by your full name. How should I know?"

Then I remember I am still holding her arm after I slap her. I froze. Should I remove it? But her arms are so firm.

I look at her face it seems like she doesn't mind because she is saying something but I don't pay any attention.

"You should know my full name especially my family name because it will be your last name too in the near future."

I am still not paying attention to what she is saying. I am just looking at her face.

I got startled because she waved her hand in front of my face to get my attention and I accidentally removed my hand on her arm.

Deym!
"Are you listening to me?"

"No."

She let out a big sigh "good"

"What am I asking again?....
Oh your real name."

"It's Kim jisoo Ha-Joon Kim"You're kidding right? That is not an address right? Is it really your name? "

"Why would I lie about my name?"

"Forget it. What are the names of the food you ordered because I am not familiar with them"

She told me that these are japanese food and Sashimi, sushi and maki is her favorite and I should eat it in one bite.
Tonkatsu is basically like breaded pork on top of seasoned rice with a sweet sauce on top of it.

I tried the sashimi first and it tasted like fish. It is somewhat juicy and soft at the same time.

And Miss. Ceo confirmed that it is really a fish. In fact a Tuna. This is the first time I ate Tuna fish.

I tried to grab another piece when our hands bumped accidentally. I looked at her to apologize but I got sidetracked again by her eyes.

Unconsciously I lean in to her a little to see if her blue grey eyes are really real or just contact lenses.

"So enchanting." Still mesmerized by her eyes.

"If I don't know you. In this case I am qualified to call the cops because you are being weird right now but who am I to complain? It is not like I am not used to this kind of treatment at this point in my life."

"What are you saying?"

"I am saying Miss. Ruby jane you are currently in my personal space but I don't mind. Continue what you are doing. Your reaction after you realize what you are doing is epic. I can guarantee you myself."

How can her eyes become like this. Maybe she has her father's eyes or. combination of her parents'eyes.

Miss. Ceo is still talking but I forgot what she is saying. Forget about my hunger. My interest now is the mystery of how she got those eye colors.

I want to lean more to look at it better but I realize I am literally nose to nose to her. (°><°)•<<< that close!!!

From the shock of how close we are I jump away from her. I even fall

down from the couch because of my knee jerk reaction.

I cover my face from embarrassment.

I am sure my face is as red as a tomato right now. How can I be an airhead who got easily distracted?!

I am literally harassing her!

Her laugh brings me back to reality. You'll never believe me what am I

seeing. She is laughing so hard she is holding her tummy. She even has tears in

her eyes from laughing so much. It is the first time I saw her act like this

because she is so cold and temperamental in front of us in the office.

It brings a smile to my face because I made her laugh. In dispense of my. dignity that is. But hey! I made my crush laugh! That is an achievement

right??

"Jisoo stop laughing!"

She suddenly stops laughing and looks at me with a gaze that I can not

decipher.


"Jisoo?"

"Sorry it just slips out." I covered my face again in shame.



No it's ok "Actually...I like it "

Jisoo just motions for me to continue eating.

she doesn't react to the name that I want to call her so maybe it is fine to


call her Jisoo.

She grabbed my arm to help me get up from my position on the floor.

I sit again on the couch and fix my shirt and pants.

"Thank you for the food. Mam. I mean Jisoo. It is my first time to eat this

kind of food. I'll treasure this moment"

"You're welcome and you don't need too because this is not the last time

that we will share a meal. That is my promise to you."

I cannot for the life of me can restrain the smile that is growing on my

face.

I ate a whole nugget just to somewhat hide that I am smiling.

Lord almighty. I just learned last night that I have a crush on her and

Now I am sitting beside her in her office sharing a meal with her.

I embarrass myself in front of her countless of times in a span of 30min

but she didn't say a thing.

I consider myself lucky because I have a moment like this with her. I

just wish another treasured moment comes along. I will not embarrass

myself anymore.
