Chapter-2: Stalking her

Aylia pov:

I stood in front of my closet, scanning the array of outfits I had carefully curated for my first day at Min Designs. I wanted to make a statement, to show Taehyung and the rest of the team that I was a force to be reckoned with. My eyes landed on a stunning emerald green dress, its sleek silhouette and delicate lace details radiating confidence and sophistication.

Aylia- ah, perfect

I whispered, slipping into the dress.

As I styled my hair and applied a subtle layer of makeup, I felt my nerves begin to dissipate. I was ready for this. I had spent countless hours poring over my designs, refining every detail, and anticipating every potential question.

Glancing at the clock, I grabbed my bag and headed out the door. The meeting was scheduled for 10 AM, and I didn't want to risk being late.

The elevator ride to the 20th floor seemed to take an eternity. My heart fluttered as the doors slid open, revealing the sleek, modern lobby of Min Designs. I took a deep breath, squared my shoulders, and stepped into the lobby.

??- good morning, Mam

The receptionist greeted with a warm smile.

??- you look stunning. The team is waiting for you in Conference Room A.

Aylia- thank you so much!

My pulse quickened as I made my way to the conference room. I pushed open the door, and my eyes met Taehyung's piercing gaze across the room.

Aylia- good morning, everyone

I said, my voice steady and confident.

The room fell silent as all eyes turned to me. My designs were spread across the table, a vibrant display of creativity and innovation.

Taehyung- welcome, aylia. We're eager to discuss your proposals.

As the meeting adjourned, I felt a surge of relief and accomplishment. My designs had been well-received, and the team seemed enthusiastic about my ideas.

Taehyung- just great

He muttered, his eyes locked on mine as the last of the team members filed out.

Taehyung- you think you're so perfect, don't you?

My eyebrows shot up.

Aylia- excuse me?

He leaned against the conference table, his smirk growing.

Taehyung- your designs are impressive, I'll give you that. But don't think you're going to sweep in here and steal the show.

Aylia- I'm just trying to do my work.

Taehyung- oh, I think you're doing more than that. You're trying to prove a point. That you're better than everyone else.

Aylia- that's not fair. And besides, what's your problem?

He pushed off the table, his eyes glinting.

Taehyung- the problem is you think you can outdo me.

I rolled my eyes.

Aylia- this is ridiculous.

Taehyung- do you want me to keep going?

He taunted.

My hands clenched into fists.

Aylia- do you want me to kick you?

His smirk grew.

Taehyung- punch sounds better.

My eyes widened, my face heating.

Aylia- you're impossible!
