A MAN TO HONOR

chapter seventeen

Taehyung

I leave the conference room, followed by my secretary as soon as she caught me in her sight in the hallway

" Mr Kim, this is your schedule for the next week just as you asked for it, I also added the two meetings with our partnership brand in England that were delayed " she says as she holds a piece of paper out to me

" Thank you "

" And Mr Loren, the tailor sent the models that you picked the last time, I took them to the pressing and then sent them to your mansion by your driver " she informs me

I have hundreds and thousands suits already, all the colors and styles you can imagine, but i literally had to get myself new options for the jazz night with Kailah

Although I know it's not a date, I just still want to give her a good impression

She is such a goddess, I can't be around her looking basic...

" Thank you " I repeat again to my secretary

I stop halfway and she stops walking as well

" Paloma, I would like you to do something for me " I say

" Anything you want Mr Kim "

" Find me a modern smart apartment within two days, here in Los Angeles, with a nice view, a rooftop and a pool, it might be very hot this summer "

It's been years since I've been thinking about getting an apartment, even though I can't leave the family house before I get married, but I wanted a place for myself, my little home where I can be alone

And now that I know Kailah, I need more than ever to have my privacy, and to have a place where we can meet without worrying about other people's gazes

I like her little house, but she is also living at her workplace, and we never know what can happen, so I prefer a place where only we know...

" Are you moving out? " Asks my secretary

I lay a strict glare on her and she bows, embarrassed by her nosy question

Why I need this apartment is none of her business

But I feel like some of the people working for me are my mother's spies, they will always ask some inappropriate questions every chance they get

" I'm sorry Sir, I'll... I'll start to work on this immediately " she stutters , red of embarrassment

I'm usually a cool boss but I know how to be intimidating as well

If I'm known for being good looking, this same good looking face can also look terrifying

Just don't get me mad...

" And...you better keep this between the two of us " I utter with a silent threat in my voice

She bows again

" Y...yes, of course Mr Kim "

She walks so fast to leave that she almost tripped

I know my secretary doesn't disclose my personal activities to my family otherwise...they would have known a lot, but it's still great to remind her what can happen if she once goes off track

My family can be very persuasive if they want to get an information and my mother even more

There are a few things I've been hiding from them lately so...I better be careful

And I know if they know about that apartment, an endless drama might follow

I finally leave the office after a zoom meeting and get in my Mercedes, my work car
