Chapter 3 1/2

*Taehyung's Pov*

"Good work son, I hope you get the promotion." My boss congratulated me on my speech. I could only smile and sat down in my chair with the rest of the men.

I didn't pay attention to the other speeches but the last one caught my eye.

"We have one more person who will be speaking of voting towards her to be the next CEO." The chairman smiled, clapping towards a female. I looked up from my papers to see Nova, confidently strutting towards the stand, giving her stunning smile that could swoon anyone.

Nova was my opponent? This could actually be fun rather than just doing it alone. Her hair was nicely curled, she was wearing a black pencil skirt with a black blouse that showed her cleavage only a little. I wanted to walk right up there and button it.

She hasn't spotted me yet.

"Hello gentlemen, my name is Kim Nova, niece of Kim Jon the chairman. I had been offered this implacable job as the new CEO. Yes I know I am a woman which could change your aspects about me and the way I would work as the new CEO." She explained, now glancing around through everyone before meeting my eyes. She continued to talk without her eyes leaving mine. She knew she was fighting against me for the spot.

"I solely want the best for this company and what's better than a woman working at the top for the first time in Seoul? It would be history and the sales would dramatically increase. Not only that but I went to the best school in America for five years and straight A's. You would rather choose a guy who only got the job because of his father?" She smiled softly, shaking her head in disagreement.

The men continued to talk about the chancing of the both of us winning. I fidgeted under the table, not knowing where this was going.

"She's a good persuader. I might even vote for her." One of the salesman whispered to the person next to him. I bit my lip in anger. She knew exactly what she was doing. She was trying to get under my skin. The same way back in high school.

"I mean he didn't even finish his college education and he's suddenly working in one of the best and biggest companies in Korea? My whole life I have tried to succeed my way to the top. But this man...what's his name? Ah Kim Taehyung has done nothing but let the company down with the slow and very low sales. You wouldn't want that as your CEO. If you vote for me as your next CEO, this company wouldn't be such a disappointment as it is now. Thank you for your time." She finished off, as every men in the room including the chairman clapped and smiled back.

She walked out of the room, not before giving me a cheeky wink. I was fueling with anger of what could possibly be me losing this promotion. I stood up and walked out of the room, leaving my stuff on the table.

I turned a corner seeing her through the glass wall, pressing the button for the elevator as it opened. I quickly jogged towards her, putting my hand through the doors before it would close.

"What do you want?" She scoffed, pressing the first floor button. I walked in as the doors began to shut. It was just the two of us.

"Why are you here?"

"Because I want the promotion. I've always wanted this job so would you mind butting out and leave because I soon as I get this job, I'm firing you." Her voice laced with hatred.

I took a good look at her and wow she was still beautiful. She wasn't the pretty teenage Nova anymore. She was gorgeous and had matured in a lot of ways. Still having the same smart mouth that could get her in trouble but by now it seemed normal to me.

Her eyes were slightly bigger and more lighter of a brown shade. Till this day, she still made my heart beat faster and could make me think crazy thoughts.

It sucked that I'm in love with two different women. One that could make my day better just by looking at her and the other because we were going to have a family together.

If it was years before, I would have chosen Nova with no hesitation. But at the same time, Jinhya changed who I am today. I'm here because of her after being a wreck when Nova left. But now that Nova's back, I honestly don't know anymore.

"You actually think you're gonna get the job? Oh silly Nova. You were always the joker. That's what I loved about you the most." I smirked, taking a step forward. She took a step back, still unfazed as I took two steps forward.

"Hah love? We were teens Taehyung. We didn't know what love was. You never loved me and I never loved you." She stated.

Many things that people would say to me wouldn't anger me in any way. I don't get angry or fazed by it. But when someone says that I never loved Nova, then that sets me up. They knew not to press my buttons when they talk about her in a way that I only used her for my pleasures.

"Don't ever say that I didn't love you." I glared, cowering over her small frame. She only rolled her eyes.

"Tell me the real meaning of true love then I'll get back to you in the near future as your boss." She smiled, walking out as soon as the doors began to open.

I stood in the elevator, thinking about the five years that had passed. Nova left and had wanted nothing to do with me. I still have the text messages sent by her to leave her life because I was just a burden. That she only loved Jimin.

I was a wreck after reading it. Jinhya comforted me and helped me through the years as close friends then one day I got drunk, not remembering anything and the next thing I knew, she ended up pregnant with my child.

Even after so long, I still had this love for Nova that no woman including Jinhya could break. It was somethings that buried deep inside whenever I thought about her. Everything reminded me of her. I usually felt guilty whenever I thought of Nova being the mother rather than Jinhya.

But Nova wants nothing to do with my life. She told me so herself in a text before she left to America. But I need to know why she sent that to me when I thought everything was going great in our relationship. Was it actually her?
