The Impassioned Interchange (Park Chanyeol)

010: The Abrupt Disclosure

Kim Minseok entered Park Chanyeol's office five minutes late, a bit agitated that his previous call took a long time. He knew that the latter would want to talk to him as soon as possible. He swiftly closed the door behind him and bowed to his superior, keeping his face void of any expression whatsoever.

Chanyeol, on the other hand, motioned him to get closer to his desk as he placed a check on top of his desk, with his sign and a two million Won label on it which made Minseok quirk his eyebrow in stupefaction. As far as he was concerned, Park Chanyeol never pays before the deed is done. His action had made it clear to Minseok that he would be asking for a sudden request to be done as soon as possible, to which he grew irritated upon realization.

And his suspicions were proven right, much to his displeasure.

Chanyeol spoke, "I want you to research about my clients, particularly with the clients that refused my proposal." He then placed a folder beside the check and leaned back on his office chair before continuing, "That's the downpayment. I'll give you the rest once you finish your research."

Minseok licked his lips, nodding in agreement. "What do I need to research for, sir?"

"I need you to research on these men's relationships. I am getting the feeling that they're in cahoots when we were conversing during our meeting. Research for any secret interactions between them and I want it done as soon as possible. I trust you not to get caught with this, Minseok. I am not wasting my money on your for nothing," the CEO said.

You don't say, Minseok thought.

Nevertheless, he nodded, despite the strong urge to roll his eyes at the latter, "Yes, sir. When do you want it done?"

"I want it done by tomorrow night. No extensions," Chanyeol said. On the other hand, Minseok's jaw twitched in irritation, not liking the idea.

As much as he wanted to research for the latter's request, he already had a lot on his plate. Nevertheless, he nodded, agreeing, though he didn't expect the latter to demand it sooner than he expected. Either way, he had already expected the latter to ask for another research as predicted. "We will also have a meeting forty minutes later, along with the other department heads. Seeing as you are hear speaking to me, I doubt that my secretary had already talked to you. Nevertheless, make sure to attend the meeting and participate. I do not want my employees doubting your job."

Making sure to compose himself althroughout their conversation, he nodded and took the check and the folder from the desk and bowed at his superior in respect once again before swiftly exiting the office, no other words spoken. He didn't want to spew words of retaliation, either way. Who was he to refuse the latter's request, too? He knew that Park Chanyeol would never take no for an answer.

Wu Yifan fucking pays higher than him. And here I thought he was richer. He thought, frowning. Cheap bastard.

As soon as he turned around to walk towards the elevators, still frowning, he was met with a very surprised Hana who had her mouth agape, making her look utterly weird in sight. Her expression then hardened as she registered the man standing in front of him.

"What in the hell are you doing here?" She said, her voice hard and demanding.

"Well, it's a very fine afternoon, indeed," Minseok mused, unaffected, as he had faced people with worse personalities than her. "And I'd like to jinx that question Choi Hana. What are you doing here?"

She smirked, taking the scene in front of him. She glanced at the office door then back at Minseok before her smirk deepened. "I see," she said, her smirk never leaving her face, "I guess my words from before were true, then. Did you have a good time with my boss, freak?"
