Why Did I Fall

Just when you thought you are up, you fall down

Chapter 6: Just when you thought you are up, you fall down

Sulli arrived at the ground floor of the Go Corporation building where she is supposed to meet with Luis and Minho. When she got there, Minho is already sitting on one of the chairs in the waiting area. Luis is not yet around. That’s good, she wanted to ask some questions about the proposal that will be presented to Mr. Shepherd before they actually meet the client.

“Good Morning Boss. You’re early.” Greeted Sulli

“Yes, I always am. You’re early too.” Said Minho

“Yes, I wanted to get some background on the proposal. I went early hoping either you or Luis will be here to help me out. “ answered Sulli

“Hmm…Do you remember the document I asked you to complete and submit to me today?” asked Minho

“Yes, I sent it to your email.” Said Sulli

“That is the projected sales that Go Corporation will have in this proposal. I added it in the presentation.” said Minho

“At first I didn’t know we’ll be able to get this schedule. But when I did, I was worried that we don’t have the numbers yet. It was a blessing from heaven that you stayed last night to finish it. I have them all now.” Said Minho

“Does that mean…”

“Yes, that means you did well. Of course that was a big coincidence, but that saved the presentation today.” Said Minho

Sulli can’t help but be happy. Her heart skipped a beat knowing that her effort will be helpful to Minho. All the hours she spent in the office last night is worth every second. This is the first time she did something right.  Although she just got lucky with the timing and all, she is still happy that she can help Minho.

Minho noticed Sulli smiling happily. From the first time Minho met Sulli, this is the first time he’s seeing her smile this happily. Something about that smile felt different. It felt like something about Sulli glows. But maybe it’s because Minho has always seen the uptight Sulli. The Sulli who always try to look brave, the Sulli who always try to be good at what she does. This is the first time he has seen this Sulli. The happy Sulli.

Sulli noticed Minho looking at her. Something about the way Minho looks at her is different.

“Don’t worry, Boss. I know that this does not mean that staying in the office late is right. I know you worry about the safety of the people who work for you. ” Said Sulli smiling

Minho immediately looked away from Sulli as if his eyes got burnt.

“Luis is taking a lot of time. You should probably review the numbers you sent me yesterday.” Said Minho

Sulli had to stop for a second to think.  Ah, he needs me to review the numbers in case Mr. Shepherd has a question.
