Touch your Heart

XIII.

The door swings open, a smile on Hyewon's face causes every person she passes by wonder for the reason behind, after all she hasn't been this genuinely happy in the past days of her work. It seems today that Hyewon is filled with nothing but a ball of rainbow and sunshine. She gently places her belongings in its place and immediately heads to Yongwoo with the same smile that has never left her face ever since she arrived.

"Good morning, Mr. Gong. How was your weekend?" She walks slowly in front of his table gracefully. The guy gives her a short glance, not even a single word answer, and proceeds to hand her a checklist of her tasks as a secretary of him. "What is this?" Is all she can say after his action. Her hand takes the paper and to her surprise, the list seems like a wish list of someone who believes in Santa.

Without batting an eye, Yongwoo tackles the matter in her hands . He speaks while simultaneously working on the case in his table. "Your work for today, since you are now my official secretary. You should get used to every work duty from now and then. Don't worry, as your first day of being my secretary I reduce some work load so that you won't have any troubles but if we are talking about later on, that's a different scenario. That's all, you can now leave." In his last sentence, he raises his head to meet her eyes before getting back to work quickly right after he tells his words.

Hyewon's smile quickly wears out with his speech. "Unbelievable." Is all she can think after processing his words. She leaves his office and heads to her table, looking back in his place one more time to check on him one last time. She hasn't even started her day but she's already frowning. She sits on her chair with a sulk and a heavy sigh, an unexpected turn of event that is completely opposite from what she was imagining.

Her eyes gaze at the paper, a complete secretary work load, this time it is very much alike from the forums. Although it is already expected in the first place, it is still new to her, one more sigh from her and she finally chose to start her day, though still disappointed with how everything turned out. "What was the point of sharing dinner together if he's still as cold as a glacier." She can't help herself but to glance once more at his office.

"Find me precedent cases about a land case having a dispute between the boundaries."

"Turn the documents sent to you into a pdf file then send it online." She's still reading what's written on the paper, leaving herself in her own world when suddenly she feels a presence in front of her. As she looks up and meets his gaze her eyes also meet the pile of documents on her table.

"These are the files you need to work on. Also, if you require any assistance, please consider using the diary my former secretary has on her cabinet. Here's the key to the locked cabinet." Then a key is handed to her. "I won't be back until after lunch so you should eat before me. Lastly, you can go home after you finish all of that. That's all, I'll be leaving." She watches him leave the room, yet another sigh escapes from her lips. It's starting to overwhelm her and according to him, he already reduced everything which makes her even more feel overwhelmed.

"I wasn't even finished reading what's on the paper!"

Without wasting anymore of her precious time, she gets herself back to work. She reaches for the said cabinet and carefully unlocks it, truthful to his words, the cabinet has some files and notebooks inside. After that, she starts reading the content of the paper handed to her earlier to its very end while casually looking at the diary that is presumably able to help her as a secretary.

Every bullet in the list is specified and thorough, no faults at all that can cause misunderstanding. Hyewon comes to herself upon realizing what is weighted on her, a bunch of workloads that are needed as soon as possible. The time is ticking putting Hyewon in panic as she has to meet the deadline of every task.
