CEO Trouble

~5~

"I'm sorry! I didn't know!" I bowed deeper in front of him to show my sincerity but he just ticked at me.

"Maybe you didn't hear me telling you that while you were on the phone."

~~~

I tried my best to think back to when he said it but nothing came up. "Look Sir. I'm really sorry. I can bring you lunch tomorrow?" 

"Kyungsoo." I looked at him, "Kyungsoo?" 

"My name is Kyungsoo not 'Sir'." 

"Oh... I'm sorry Kyungsoo. I promise to bring you lunch from now on." 

I watched as his smile drooped. "How about taking me to lunch then?" 

"Would you mind us getting lunch to go and visiting my father tomorrow?"

He waved his hand and grabbed some paperwork and walked over to the big table near the window. Pulling out a chair and setting the papers down he motioned  his head for me to come over. 

I sat down beside him and he pushed some papers with drawings over to me. "Pick which design you like and give it to me." I glanced up to him before looked back over the papers. There were about 4 different ones all unique and special in their own way. While studying them i decided to find out what this was about.

"Why do you have to pick a design?" 

"It's for a project that's due in a month and i can't decide." He set his pen down and looked over at the papers before glancing up to me, "Did you pick one?" 

I looked over them one last time before handing him #2. He nodded at my choice, "I was hoping you'd pick this one." I placed my hands in my lap and watched as he made a few notes. 

I felt my phone vibrate and took it out answering it, "Hello?" 

"Mrs. Jones?" 

"Yes, that's me."

"Your father woke up. I suggest coming around tomorrow though, let him rest some more" 

"Of course, i was planning on coming around at lunch anyway. Thank you!"

"Have a good day ma'am" 

"You too." 

I pressed the red button and hung up on her. I turned the chair back towards the desk and saw Kyungsoo looking at me, "Did your father wake up?"

I nodded and set my arms on the table resting my head in one of my hands as i watched him. 

"You've been visiting him every night haven't you?" 

I nod once more  before pointing to the papers, "Need help with anything else?" 

He shook his head and went back to work. I looked around and wondered over to his desk. I looked up to make sure that he wasn't paying attention to me. I sat in his chair and crossed my legs and tapped my fingers together. 

I pretended to laugh maniacally before i noticed movement from the direction Kyungsoo was and immediately ducked under the desk. After a bit i peeked out and noticed he wasn't there anymore.

"What are you doing?" I let out a scream and hit my head against the top of the table. I grasped the back of my head and let my body fall to the floor. 

I suddenly heard a hearty laugh and i glanced up at Kyungsoo. This was so out of character for him since he is normally cold and non-emotional. He calmed down and sighed before holding his hand out to help me up, a bright square smile still on his face. I took his hand and stood up but before i could gather my footing he pushed me into the chair and set his hands on either armrest locking me in. 

"Care to explain to me what you were doing under my desk now?" 

I tried to avoid eye contact since he was leaning over me but he grasped my chin turning my face see  him.

"Hmm?~" He leaned in closer and i closed my eyes tightly trying to turn away. Another laugh was heard as i felt his body move away from me. When i opened my eyes again he was back over at the table sorting papers once more. 

A heavy sigh left my lips as i relaxed against the chair closing my eyes once more. 'Who does he think he is to do such a thing like that? I really hope he doesn't like me. One is enough.' I glanced over at him and watched him silently for a few minutes, 'Although it wouldn't be bad to have him i suppose. He could be cold but he seemed to have a good side to him.' 

"Ellie?" 

I  stood up walking over to him, "Yes Soo?"  I watched as his head shot up as he turned to look at me. 

"Soo?" 

"Do you not like my nickname?" I smiled innocently and tried to act adorable. I dropped the act when i saw that he was just staring at me. "Nah, I'm sorry it was a joke. What did you need?"

"C-can you take these papers and copy them? 14 please." I shot him a confused look at his stutter but he avoided my eye contact. I walked over and grabbed the paper out of his hands and just to tease him, when i walked to the door, i let my fingers run up his arm to his shoulder and across his back before letting out a giggle and rushing off to copy the papers. 

Oh i knew what i was doing. His guard must be down today and it was kinda fun to see him stutter and laugh. I liked this side of him. It showed he could have emotions other than rude, cold, and death stares. 

I brought the papers back but as i neared the door i heard yelling. Curious, i leaned my ear against the door.

"Why the hell are you suing me for so much?!" 

I recognized that voice. Is... is that... Xiumin?! Realizing this i leaned closer.

"Because you stole my design" 

"Really Kyungsoo?! You know good and well i made that." 

"If you're here to fight over a simple lawsuit then leave. I'm not budging on my deal i made." 

I heard footsteps and frantically looked around. I spotted a plant beside the door and rushed to hide behind it. Just a second more and i would have been caught, when i got behind it xiumin opened the door and slammed it closed behind him scaring me and the receptionist. He bowed to her and walked briskly to the elevator and pressed the button.

'How can someone so sweet and loving be so angry and scary?' 

I opened the door and carefully closed it behind me before bringing the papers over to his desk. 

"Here you go..." 

He grabbed them from me and slammed them onto the desk. I flinched away at the sudden movement and stepped away from him. He got up and walked around his desk before grabbing my shoulders and hugging me tightly. I tried to wiggle out of his grasp but he tightened his hold.

His voice came out as choked and raspy, 

"Don't..."
