The Sexy Billionaire

Nine

October 15th

I changed into my uniform and started to work immediately. I was assigned at the cold storage section by my manager, who doesnt seem to be pleased to see. Like fuck i want to see you too, i thought to myself.
But that didnt bother me. I knew that most of my colleagues were exchanging silent looks behind my back when i passed by them. I ignored them completely. What bothers me was how on earth did i was called back to work here. I was fired almost a week ago but this morning i got a call, from the HR office, asking me to resume back my duties as usual.
I had an unpleasant feeling that Kim Jong Kook wasnt just a normal guy. Deep in my thoughts, i didnt realised the butcher was calling out for me. I turned and he welcomed me back.
"Do you happen to know who is the owner of this hypermarket?" I asked the butcher out of blue.
"No. Never seen his face. He rarely visit this branch. Why?" He asked.
"Nothing," i shook my head. That was something new. If Kim Jong Kook were the owner of the largest chain hypermarket in the country, my mood sank. He must be freaking rich. The house and the car that i saw this morning were solid prove that Kim Jong Kook was not an ordinary guy.
"You mustve known someone," he said,"I heard the others talking about it. Otherwise there would be no absolute reason for you being able to come back working here."
"I were to have a choice, most probably i wont come back," I mumbled moodily under my breath.
"They said the owner asked them to get you back, there was a misunderstanding they said," he added.
"The owner?"
"Yeah. Thats the reason why they glancing at you," he added.
"Including you?"
He laughed,"Not me. You know i only listen to others."
I smiled warmly at him.
I resumed doing my work and how long i had been standing, i didnt know. When the night had fallen, only then i realised that i was suppose to meet Jong Kook. It was around 9.30p.m. when my shift ended and i head back home on foot. Delaying as much time as possible.
Kim Jong Kook was seen running towards me from across the street.
"Hai," he greeted me warmly with a smile.
"Ajusshi," i said, checking him out, from head to toe,"Nice. White suits you perfectly."
"Have you eaten?" He asked. I nodded, and that was a lie. How on earth i would be able to eat when my colleagues and the supervisors kept gossiping about me and they didnt even bother to lower down their voices. Ive lost my appetite since.
"Ajusshi," i said,"Do you have anything to do with this?"
"What?" He asked, surprised by my question as we crossed the road together.
"I received a phone call from the HR office this morning, asking me to come back for work. I was given some extra money but for what reason, i dont even know," i told him,"Did you do all these?"
"Isnt that good?" He asked, he looked hurt,"Being able to get your job back and received some compensation money?"
"Were you the one who called the office? My colleagues and my manager were gossiping happily behind my back, just because that they thought that i knew someone who happens to be the owner," i said, trying to control my temper,"And stop asking me questions. You havent answer any of mine yet."
"What if i did? What if i did gave you your job back? You could at least say thank you," Kim Jong Kook snapped at me.

I sighed heavily and said,"I cant even go to the break room without bumping into my colleagues who would stop abruptly in the middle of their conversation and i kept getting strange looks when i was stocking up the shelves. You really want me to say thank you to you? Thanks for making me feel lonely at work?'

Kim Jong Kook's face soften a little and i knew that he was going to apologize but i quickly told him that its okay. "Whats done is done. I dont want to talk about it anymore but next time, let me handle it on my own."

"Im sorry," He said quickly,"I didnt know that it would turn out like this."

"Its okay," I told him firmly.

"I'll make it up to you," He said.

"How?" i was wondering about it myself,"You dont have to, you know. If you still insist, you can walk with me home."

Without showing any sign of hesitation of walking along the street during a cold autumn night, Kim Jong Kook did walked me back to my apartment. Before i left, i suggested him if he still want my help, i could be his cupid for two months and gave him some thought about it.
I spent at least two hours in the shower when i finally came to my senses. Why on earth did i offer myself to be his cupid?
