I think it's not that difficult, no?

"Hmm..."

The young boss looked impressed as he went through a report submitted just now. A small smile displayed on his lips, and he lifted his head up.

"Miss Y/n, you seem to be a lady of many talents"

Jungkook placed the reports on his desk gently, unlike his usual rough handling. Y/n stood with her head lowered and he made his way to her.

"You sorted the accounts and purchases quite efficiently. The report was concise but up to mark, something I wasn't ready for"

His eyes shone in amusement as he gripped her chin to make her look into his eyes.

Thinking of his words as a mere flattery, she didn't pay much attention.

He leaned his head, gently brushing his lips against her ears and whispered mischievously.

"How do I reward you wife?"

Feeling flustered, Y/n stepped back and maintained the dignified distance, to highlight the boss-employee dynamic.

"We agreed upon keeping our matrimony discreet. Please, behave yourself"

Though the sarcasm was clear, she politely smiled like any other employee. But for Jungkook, it was more than that.

'At least she smiled at me..'

'Perhaps by the seventh day, we might patch up'

Even a mere professional smile from her was enough to flutter him and feed his delusions. He knew what was at stake and he was ready to gamble his all to win her.

Today, was the second day of the one week challenge to regain y/n's trust.

The previous day was nothing much peculiar except him introducing Y/n as his interim personal assistant.

He assumed his naive wife to not have a hand in business. He wanted her to relax for a day and then teach her a few things later on but she insisted on him otherwise. 

Now it was clear as to why she did that. She must have been confident in her capability.

"Ha ha.."

He snickered at her words, sitting back on his chair. 'Behave yourself.' Only she could say that to him without putting her life in danger.

"You'd do good in managing the finances. However, you need to work on your skills."

His expression turned serious and the playfulness faded. Y/n listened attentively as he further explained.

"The report was impressive but I noticed some flaws too. For your age and lack of experience, you have  an impeccable knack for numbers. You will gradually learn more and excel in it"

"Thank you, Mr Jeon"

Bowing her head, she took the report in her hands in order to analyse the shortcomings he had marked.

A dormant ambition was hiding beneath the folds of her insecurities.

Seeing her earnest dedication, Jungkook couldn't help but think of some past memories.

It was almost seven years before, that his step-father handed over him a small, struggling start-up as a compensation for a trauma.

Jungkook, who was already trying to fit in the underworld, ate this opportunity and turned it into his favour.
