Eyes Don't Lie

chapter 7

Her eyes were wide open when she came to the store which was a big room full of cartons and files scattered around it seemed someone just got their work done and left the rest where they are rightnow. "We're here my dear now go find financial reports you'll find everything here" she says and wave at her before leaving. How is she going to find on her own the room was mess she spend some time figuring out where to start just then her phone vibrated it was mingyu she opened the text

Mingyu:
how's your day going so far?

Me:
It's okay I guess

Mingyu:
Where are you?

Me:
In store room?

Mingyu:
Why are you even there, are they making you do stuff which you aren't supposed to do?"

Me:
No no I asked for reports and they said help yourself so that's why"

Mingyu:
Ok

She started checking files from one corner and it wasn't even 10 minutes when she heard a knock and door opened for a moment she got scared to death but when mingyu appeared she was relieved. "Why are you here?" She asks but he heads to the opposite side of room and pick up a file "the more the better" sometimes she just didn't knew how will she be able to repay his kindness he was always ready to be there for her even without her asking. He just knew what she needed and readily obliged, she owed him alot and was aware of his efforts, her heart always soared with gratitude for him. "Mingyu" he hums "may you never witness sadness may Allah bless you enormously " she smiles her eyes forming Crescent, he could only stare at them back flustered "s-shut up" he turn his back and busy himself with files. Jungkook was working when his eyes fell on the screen that displayed cctv footage of different areas of building and one particular footage got his attention. He kept watching them through screen something was bugging him some unknown and unusual feeling and before he knew he called his secretary who came in with alarmed face "Bring the two internees that are in store room rightnow" she bows and make her way there. "Mr jeon want you both in his office " she says and looked at them  pitifully. Wafiyah could feel the panic bubbling inside and her mind filled with possibilities of being called, what if they're misunderstood? They were just working nothing else right? It shouldn't be huge problem or what if they complain to her home back in her country? "Hey, I'm with you don't think ahead " again it's his words giving her the security she needs. He casually walks in followed by wafiyah who avoided looking at jungkook " are you trying to go against me ?" Jungkook sneered "what are you talking about sir?" Mingyu counters back which further added fuel to the fire "I clearly said to work in the departments assigned to you so what were you doing?" "We are working separately " "keep your private life out of this company you can't have secret meetings in store room got it" there he said what she feared would be made of the situation "Stay true to your words or you know the way out, its your first day and that's how you make impression? Take this as a last warning I'll be watching you both mind it" he rants out mingyu was about to oppose but wafiyah held the hem of his coat stopping him from aggravating the already messy situation. She never knew first day could go this wrong and it's not only her but mingyu is also being indulged because of her. "We're really very sorry sir, I assure you this won't happen again" she apologized causing mingyu to form fist in anger "you may leave" they walked out "mingyu don't put yourself in radar, don't worry about Me okay I shouldn't depend on you" "you should have let me explain" "I don't like to explain to people my lord knows and that's enough " " I already don't like him " he exhales sharply. "Let's get back to work forget about it " she waves and make her way back to store but this time she's alone and on her own. The time went by pretty fast she even prayed her Asr prayer in that room, office time ended at 7 by then she managed to find past ten years record which was pretty good achievement. She went back to finance section and asked Miss Jun to keep them in locker she'll continue tomorrow and grabbed her stuff to leave. She waited for elevator which opened to reveal jungkook and his secretary with much hesitancy she entered and stood in far corner. Then mingyu and Yuna also joined them "Pumpkin how was your day?" Yuna whisper shouts "great, and yours?" "Perfect but I missed you " she side hugs her "of course you did" wafiyah smiles then elevator opened and they all leave "make sure she reaches her room safely Yun" mingyu says loud and clear the purpose was to make people around him hear "OK boss" she salutes as they make their way toward her car. Jungkook also walked to where his car was "I don't like this guy already " he says to himself.
Next morning wafiyah prayed extra 2 units of Salah for a normal peaceful day without any trouble and started her day off in good spirits. Yuna came to pick her up and within no time they were at jeon enterprises elevator heading to their respective areas. She greeted Miss Jun and took the files she handed her the other day and started studying them going through all details, pointing out the best and worst decisions they made in all these years. She scribbled on her diary any piece of information that was important and also came up with her postulates and conclusions where she pointed any insufficiency or need for betterment "you're quite insightful and smart" she looks at the source to find Miss Jun with another shade of her dark lipstick and matching glasses "thank you eonni" "what's the progress ?" "I've yet to find the early 7 years data but I'm almost done with recent five years annual reports" "hmm good keep it up and if you need help just let me know " wafiyah nods and put her head back in the data sets. She went to the store room to find remaining Years and it seemed luck was on her side, she grabbed the files and made her way out, without paying attention to the way she almost bumped into someone "I'm so sorry " she apologies quickly as she steps back and saw it was the person she tried to not come face to face with "can't you be a little bit careful?" "I'm so sorry sir" "what are you doing here ?" "I had to get some files from the store room" "next time watch where you going " she nods frantically and runs toward elevator to get out of his sight "Did I say you can leave?" She halts turning around "I sincerely apologize " "Bring me a cup of coffee " he says and went to his office. She didn't knew about kitchen and Jia wasn't in her cabin after roaming around she knocks at his door and enters. He raises his eyebrow in question "Sir I don't know where am I supposed to make you coffee" jungkook breathes in through his nose "well in a coffee maker" "I mean like I can't find kitchen " she uses her hands quite alot when talking he notices "who do you think I am Miss wafiyah" "CEO of this company sir" jungkook stares at her long and hard, he wants to laugh at her innocence or maybe pinch her cheeks but he need to stop his imagination from going far. "It's at the end of corridor where the store room is located" "Ah okay sir will be back soon" she was about to leave when another question poped in her head and she turned around "Sir do you prefer sugar if yes then how much would you like?" "No sugar" she makes a face of disgust and hopes he didn't notice. She utters an okay and this time she actually leaves and even though he saw her he didn't say anything and it had been long time since he smiled that too a genuine and real smile. After 10 minutes and yes he was counting the minutes, he heard knock she peaked in before entering completely "here sir" she puts the cup in front of him and waits for next instruction because she don't want to be schooled again. Jungkook takes a sip and looks at her, she thought that the coffee tasted bad. Her expressions morphed into the puppy who was about to get scolded by the owner "D-do you want me here sir?" She wanted to leave as soon as possible so she dared to ask "do you think I want you here?" Instead he asks. "No sir" it came out like a whisper as her throat was clogging up. "Then what do you think Miss wafiyah?" Why was he doing this to her she couldn't fathom, was he bullying her for being Muslim or because of yesterday's event, maybe he doesn't want her in his office, is this how it will go for 3 months, her mind was filled with all thoughts and possibilities of his behavior toward her to the point she zoned out staring at him unknowingly "earth to Miss wafiyah" he bangs his hand on table "Yes Sir" jungkook walks upto her so she take a step back to make distance between them "I think I should personally supervise you, instigate some professionalism and confidence into you" her eyes widened "but sir I'm working hard y-you can ask Miss Jun " amusement fills him "I don't have to ask I said what I said and you're starting today"
"I didn't even ask Miss Jun's permission "
"who is the boss here" he leans in as he asked making her take another step back "you"
"Good, get to work" he utters as he march toward his seat. "May I bring my stuff from finance department?"
"You may" "and also the task I was doing already?" She instantly looks down knowing well her capability of annoying people with her questions but only if she knew that would be the last thing jungkook will feel about her, her behavior was amusing and he wanted it all for himself "yes but be back within 10 minutes or else I'll come and bring you here " "OK " she was about to open the door when he calls from behind "Did I say you can go?" This time he was met with pair of teary eyes as she blinked the tears away but the lights reflected in them making her look even more breathtaking, "you may Go" he adds immediately. When the door closes he thoughts "am I being too much? I made the poor girl cry? But she looked so mesmerizing " his eyes widened at his own thoughts 'I'm surely going to hell for that'. She would be sharing cabin with Jia which was the only good thing she could hold onto but she was on leave due to fever. She was halfway through the reports when mingyu appeared "why are you here Miss wafiyah?" he took the seat across her and asked "I got schooled again you know I haven't been scolded in such a consecutive manner and now Mr ceo ordered that he'll supervise due to lack of confidence and professionalism" he frowns as he takes in the absurdity of jungkook "Okay but it's your 2nd day he can't judge you"
"you're right but I'm not supposed to question his decisions he's the boss here" she gets up so does he and make their way toward cafeteria "I'm really annoyed rightnow " wafiyah looks at him and smiles "don't be, My protector is with me" mingyu looks pleased with the response smiling wide until she completes her sentence "Allah is always with me" "of course he is" he muttered causing wafiyah to laugh but he can't complain if it makes her smile. They eat their food Yuna and mingyu were talking about their supervisors, she picked up her phone and texted Selena it seemed forever since she saw her.
