Eyes Don't Lie

chapter 3

There was more hustle in the company than usual days. Employees dressed in professional yet expensive attire looked elegant but their worried faces and hands occupied with the stack of files didn't get along. The doors of elevator opened to reveal a lady in her early 30s wearing plaid skirt and a plain white silk shirt with first button undone holding a tablet in her hand and cup of coffee in the other hand rushing toward the reception. Her stilettos clacked along the floor but no one seem to notice as they already had alot of stuff to deal with. As she reached the entrance, the automatic Door opened and without realizing she bumps into the person entering and spill the coffee ruining their clothes as well as their day. Her expressions soon turned from apologetic to traumatized and at that moment she knew she messed up really big "S-s-sir I'm really sorry I-i didn't see you coming I'll clean it.." she stuttered as she tried to reach his shirt to wipe it with her hand he held her wrist his face expressionless eyes blank but what he says next leaves no room for further debate "You're fired" his voice monotone but his employees knew better. He walks in the building and straight to the elevator his advisor and manager follows behind updating him about the reports he listens to them silently the elevator opened he walks out and head to his office. "Sir shall I look for another secretary?" His manager asks "where do you get these people from Park either find an efficient and productive candidate or at least don't come up with these creeps" his voice boomed through  the silent room. "Sure sir I'll be careful next time " park Sejong has served in the Jeon enterprises for years he has never had any problem or difficulty in dealing and organizing affairs for the CEOs he had worked with but the current one. The young, gifted ingenious innovative inventive original productive prolific visionary is making him rethink his life decisions. It's been probably 4 months since he took over the charge of the company and almost 70 percent staff has been replaced. Mr. Park has conducted 20 interviews over past months to find a secretary but none of them lasted a week. He was the only heir of Jeon empire the most eligible, handsome and intelligent man Jeon Jungkook. He entered the attached restroom to wash his hand and then marched toward his closet while taking his coffee stained shirt off and discharge it in the nearest trash. He grabs a white shirt perfectly ironed "Bring me a cup of coffee and my today's schedule " he says and went to his seat. Mr park utters a yes and leave the room as Jungkook indulge in his work. It was an hour or so after the incident when his phone rang the ID showed his father name. He knew well and was prepared already that his father will call him. He leans back in his chair and speaks "Yes dad?" In calm voice. "Jungkook what am I hearing?" He breathes in through his nose "you tell me dad?" It further aggravates his father "Jungkook why did you fire Minsu, you know very well who she is don't you?" His father seems angry "Dad she was an amateur, unskilled unqualified second rated incompetent lady who can't even walk properly. I don't want such people to roam around my company and as far as your last statement is concerned I don't care if she's your friend's daughter or the president's I'm not in favour of non merit nepotism based position" He says confidently. "But how am I going to face Mr Wang now" his father sighs dejectedly. "Just like how two friends without any interior motive or personal interests meet, and dad I'm busy will talk to you at home" with that he hangs up. He let himself indulge in work again hours passed by in the blink of eye and when he saw the time it was almost 9 pm. One thing about him which was the key reason for his ultimate success was that he never bound himself to the time, he'd go beyond it. When his work for the day was over he got up and took his phone and grabbed his coat from the stand and leaves the office. Most of employees had already left just a few workers who were also packing to leave bowed when they saw him. He sits in his sleek black Mercedes Benz s class and drive back to his penthouse he knows he told his father that they'll meet but he isn't in mood to dispute with anyone.  This is how's most of his days pass quite and alone it doesn't bother him infact he very much appreciate the limited interaction with people.
He was welcomed with the darkness as soon as he stepped in the house, he throws the key and wallet on table and took his coat and then his shirt off. He stroll toward the kitchen and turned on the LED lamp through voice command. The lounge illuminated with dim light and the stary effect added the welcoming and warm environment. He makes himself something to eat and watched TV while having dinner. He took a quick shower and put his trousers on calling it a day. The tiredness soon turns into drowsiness and sleep takes over. His mind and heart became steady and rhythmic and the silence replaced with his light snores.
