Please, Confess to Me

Chapter 20 : A Minute Late, Still Mine

During lunchtime, the Kim company received a courier delivery at its front desk, to be sent to the President's office.

"It's for Secretary Lee," a woman at the front desk read the receipt.

"Then send it up quickly." Any express deliveries sent to the President's office must be delivered upstairs as soon as they arrive. This was the very first rule any front desk assistant at Kim Group must remember.

The woman's co-worker took the delivery and took the elevator to the President's office on the top floor.

"Express delivery for Secretary Lee." The young woman was soon knocking at the door to the secretary's office.

Inside, Hyein was drinking her coffee leisurely. It was a rare workday where Minji wasn't in the building, nor did she need to follow Minji somewhere. But she was soon interrupted by the knock on the door. She put down her coffee, opened the door, and accepted the delivery. With a smile, she thanked the woman. "Sorry for the inconvenience, Ningning."

"Secretary Lee knows my name?"

Being one of the company's top leaders, it was a little exciting to know that Hyein could remember the name of such a low-level receptionist.

"Of course I remember. You also helped me last time with another delivery." Hyein smiled as she glanced at the employee card on Ningning's chest.

"That's just my job." Ningning's excited face was beginning to turn red. "That... I won't continue to bother you, I'll say my goodbyes now, Secretary Fang."

"Goodbye." Secretary Fang watched the blushing young woman run away. Then she walked back into the office with the package. As soon as she turned around, she saw the teasing looks of the two other secretaries under her.

"Chief, you're teasing young girls again," Karina, a.k.a. Assistant One, commented with a smile.

"Nonsense." Hyein put the box on the table and accepted the box cutter Winter, a.k.a. Assistant Two, had offered her. After two or three cuts, the box was opened.

Unwrapping the bubble wrap inside, Hyein found a beautiful picture frame.

"Huh?" Winter looked at the photo inside the frame and couldn't help but wonder. "...This silhouette looks a little like the boss?"

"Where, where?" Karina heard Winter's words and excitedly looked over. Confirming Winter's guess, she said, "That's the boss alright."

"You two have good eyes." It should be said that when Hyein saw the picture, she had to look at it for a long time before she realized that the silhouette was the boss.

"Then, the other silhouette is our boss's wife?" Winter added.

"So beautiful and romantic." Karina was starry-eyed. The silhouettes of the two people kissing, the breeze lifting the willow leaves, the setting sun... it makes anyone seeing the photo drunk.

"What kind of thoughts are you having? The boss is already married," Hyein teased Karina.

"What nonsense are you spouting! I've been worked to the bone with all the overtime the boss is giving me. Any thoughts of love I've had for the boss had long turned into fear." Karina said with a sour face. "Fear of doing another overtime."

"Yes!" Winter, having experienced the same thing, wholeheartedly agreed with Karina. "I think the first time I ever saw the boss was in a financial magazine. I had a massive crush on her from then on, so I tried my best to land a job as the boss's secretary or assistant. After five passes, six defeats, and countless battles, I finally lost to the never-ending overtime thrust upon me."
