Touch your Heart

The meeting concluded a little earlier than what Yongwoo had anticipated. It's a little early in the afternoon according to his watch, for him it's a tiring meeting although he only talks to his client for a short period of time. On his way back to his car, he stumbles upon a shop, a donut shop to be precise, his mind recalls his secretary's words earlier, and thus he proceeds to buy some before going back to his car.

The ride is silent, of course considering that he's driving his car, any actions that involve disrupting his drive would lead to his demise.

Elevator dings, it is yet another trip on his way back to the firm. As the elevator doors open, he steps a foot before another and settles in the far back. His eyes watch the number above gradually increasing, ding after ding, and it's finally his floor. It's just a short walk from the elevator to his firm, his shoes clicking against the hard tile of the floor, a little too loud for his ears but he can't do anything, and as the door slides for him, he's greeted by their receptionist.

"Miss Kang is in her office along with others."

He nods his head for the information she has just mentioned. His eyes roam to every corner of the firm and her words are in fact true, no presence of anyone, well almost anyone as their paralegal is in her cubicle doing her works-- their eyes met, giving her light nod as a response. By the door of his secretary's office, he witnessed the mess inside-- not the actual mess but the people inside, neglecting their work for some chatters-- as he steps inside the chatters die right away along with the noise, their eyes darting onto him.

"Leave my office." No stern, no emotion is in his voice, just a casual plea but it definitely did something to his co-workers.

The door swings open once more only to stop midway as Attorney Jeong notices the current situation. Along with the coffee in his hands, he slowly closes the door and leaves-- the two attorneys follow their senior and leave the office bidding their goodbye to Hyewon.

"Uhm... What am I going to do in the afternoon?" Hyewon asks carefully, knowing that Yongwoo has quite the attitude when it comes to work, and seeing his office like that isn't something he's gonna slide that easily, according to her thoughts.

"Just kill your time and go, it seems like everyone's fond of you so why don't you talk with them and disrupt their work. Just do anything as long as it is not in my office." He dismisses the conversation like that and walks to his office.

Somehow it pisses Hyewon off that she is treated like nothing under his supervision, having enough of his attitude-- Hyewon follows him as an attempt to have a thorough conversation with him.

She watches as Yongwoo puts his belongings on the couch, a large paper bag and his work bag. Hyewon braces herself, composes, and speaks.

"Excuse me Mr. Gong, Did I do something wrong? I waited for you to come back so that we can share lunch together but as long as you enter you immediately give me that stare. Are you mad at me or something?" Hyewon asks, crossing her arms on her chest waiting for him to answer her questions.

"Kang Hyewon-ssi, this is a workplace." Hyewon looks at him, her eyes display confusion among his words. "I don't know what your CEO has said to you but this isn't a place for fun and rest. Everyone here is for something, we are working ourselves for hours so the least you can do is not interrupt us. I know I assigned you as my secretary, this may be a little new to you but please be professional during work hours."

"I didn't want to be a distraction!" She responded with her voice a little louder than usual. Though she attempted to argue with a little hot head, Yongwoo remained calm and collected.

"Sure... And since we're here on this topic, let me tell you that I am also not fond of people like you who take their work lightly. Also, although you were famous in the industry before, it doesn't mean you should act the same while you are working here, so please refrain yourself from acting that way."
