The Truth Untold

The bell of the laundry shop chimed loudly along with a sweet thank you from the brown haired woman. The neighborhood is calm, steady, peaceful with chilly air. Winter is close.

Bright sunlight of this cool weather is glinted on the freshly pressed fabric of her brown jumpsuit, the color of a rich chocolate that is contrasted beautifully with the bold maroon lipstick that stained her lips in a perfect, confident smile. Her hair is tumbled loosely over her shoulders, framing her face with a touch of casual elegance. The woman is simply stunning, a beauty, no one could deny that her features were carved by the angels themselves.

With a practiced flick of her wrist, she checked the time on her watch and it was 12:00 pm sharp. Not a moment to waste more. She called for her Uber and hopped into it, heading towards her office.

Jk Company

The elevator reached her boss's floor with a ding sound. Her pointy heel is echoing through the empty hall as she is walking on the black marble floor.  The whole floor has only two rooms, one is her Boss's office room another one is also his, for personal use.

Reaching in front of his room she sees Miss Kang is sitting lavishly behind her desk. A half eaten chocolate bar with a half finished box of ranch are sitting on her desk, upon seeing Y/N Miss Kang gives her a warm smile, though a bit strained one while cradling her prominent baby bump.

Y/N chuckles lightly seeing the choices of her taste buds, Miss Kang also joins with her with a soft laugh.
"Don't laugh, pregnancy cravings."
"I can see, how long?"
"3 and half months more left and I am already tired Y/N."
"Your maternity leave is coming soon."
"Yes, yeee to that, but that also means you are gonna replace my place in my leave, also yee to that."

Her face falls down as soon as she meets with the harsh reality, yap soon or later she will be the secretary of the devil of her life. Her face twitches as she is trying hard to return the smile to Miss Kang.

"Is Mr Jeon available right now?"
"No dear he is currently in a private meeting, which will end soon, I guess."
"Oh."
"In that mean time, please have a cup of coffee, you know before pregnancy I've ordered over three boxes of coffee from La Colombe Restora, You can guess what fortune it cost me. And still they are unpacked, I have been thinking of them to sell-

Miss Kang trailed off already waddling like a penguin, towards the coffee station.

Y/N watched her go, a hint of amusement is softening her features. Pregnancy is definitely working its magic on Miss Kang's usually reserved demeanor, making glow on her face, her hair.

"Just one? Where's yours?" Y/N says while watching the steam rise from the machine.

Miss Kang lets out a hearty laugh, shaking her head.

"Oh, honey, if only I could! Believe me, a sip of that coffee and this office would become my personal water fountain of puke for the next hour."

Y/N raises an eyebrow. "That bad?"

Miss Kang grimaces. "Worse! Caffeine used to be my second love. Now, look at me! Can't even tolerate one sip."
"Is the smell okay?"
"God isn't that much cruel, now is He dear? This is the only thing that's keeping me alive."

The kettle whistled, and Miss Kang skillfully poured the coffee into a mug, decorating it with a flourish of whipped cream. "There you go, caffeine free heaven." She presents the mug to Y/N with a smile.

Just then, the office door swung open and an older man emerged. He is tall, stud with a gruff aura and a face that seemed like, permanently set in a serious expression, giving a British man vibe. Black tight suit is adoring his bulky body.
