~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My shift hasn't even started and I'm already counting down the hours till I can leave. Once the bus arrives to X-Corporations I step out and head into the building, since I still have no badge a lady quickly takes my picture and creates me one. 

When the elevator doors open I shake a bit. I make my way back to that room, as I turn the knob and push it open there is Minseok and his wife. They stop their conversation and look at me, embarrassed by my sudden intrusion I bow and close the door but am stopped. "Don't go, Goodmorning..Roux?" the wife asks me and I nod and walk in, "I am sorry, I just wasn't sure where I was supposed to sit or where I'm located," Minseok stares at me harshly and I feel uncomfortable. "I'm Yuri and its ok," says the wife and looks to her husband, "Morning," I say and then Minseok looks to his desk. He grabs a folder and then walks over to me, "the empty desk in front of my office is where you'll be and this needs to be organized and the company names need to be highlighted," he says and then walks back to his wife. I nod and then walk out. I plop in the spinning chair and place my things in a empty drawer, "time to get to work."

~~~~3hours later~~~~

"I'm going to lunch with Mr.Lee when I'm back have the folder on my desk," Minseok says but I quickly stand up. "Actually I've been done for about an hour," I say and he stops fixing his jacket and walks over picking the folder up, "you can leave for lunch," he says and walks away with the folder tucked in his arm. I breath and slouch back into my office chair.

 Instead of going for lunch I decide to just rest my head for a bit, which in other words meant a nap.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ava...hey get up!" says a voice and I slap the hand off my shoulder. When I sit up I realize I fell asleep at work. I jump up and knock over a pen holder and some papers, Minseok jumps and slightly laughs at my actions. I fix whatever I dropped and then turn to him, "I'm sorry!" I say and bow my head. He shakes his head and smiles, "it's ok..you can make it up to me," after he says that I slowly raise my head and squint at him, "just fire me..." I say flatly and he chuckles. "I can't..I wont.." he says and winks before heading back into his office the door slamming shut. 

I sit down and then see another folder on my desk. 

Once I take hold of it and open to see if its another file of organizing I suddenly feel sick. It's a profile and picture of Chanwoo, everything about him, going as far back to his high-school years. I stand up and open the door to Minseok's office him seated comfortably on his desk with his arms crossed and his usual grin. "Leave him alone!" I say and he stands up and closes the door I left open. "Get rid of him," he says and goes back to where he was. I shake my head, "you don't own me! No.." I say and throw the folder on the floor. He stands up and walks over to me, as I take a step back he pulls my white dress shirt causing it to untuck and me stumble forward into his grasp. "Stop touching me!!" I say and push him away when he then firmly grabs my waist and looks straight into my eyes, "are you sure?" he questions and leans in. I don't move, but then I break away, "this is so wrong! I don't know how you can be like this! I've never meet someone so.." I trail off and he finishes for me, "horrible, sick, evil, yeah I've gotten that! In my world there isn't no such promise of an ordinary life." I turn my back but then I face him again, "leave him alone..or I swear," then he shakes his head, "why haven't you left or quit yet! I groped you, I kissed you, I just gave you a file of  your boyfriend...why are you still standing in my office?" he asks and cocks his head. Which left me stumped, "you hired me!" I say and he nods, "yea but your not doing your job.." he says sternly. 

I make my way to where Minseok was and pull his tie roughly and kiss him. Me clenching my eyes close and him placing his hands on my waist again. As I pull away and wipe my mouth I look at Minseok with a neutral gaze, "did I do my job," I say and he remains silent. "There wasn't passion," he says softly and I nod my head, "your my boss! I have no clue who you are! Your actions make me dislike you! If I saw you walking around maybe I would've thought you where cute..but no your a mess!" I say and Minseok gets close to me again. He pulls me back into another kiss, I can feel the force of him really trying to give a meaningful kiss with all his might but I feel nothing but disgust. As he breaks away I fix my wrinkled and untucked shirt, "do you have anything else I can do," I ask and he shakes his head. 

When I close the door to his office I look to the clock, 6pm, freedom!

 I grab my jacket and purse and head toward the elevator. When I hear the sound of shoes on tile I look to my left, Minseok. He is looking at his phone and then looks up to me. He looks back at his phone with a very concentrated face, "are you going to stair at me.." he says and I look away. The door to an elevator opens and I step in. Thinking Minseok would step in I waited but he didn't, another elevators door opens and he heads to that one instead.

"Ava.." Annalisa say's bringing me out of my thoughts and I bury my head more into her bed pillows. "You need to just leave! He sounds..." and she didn't finish her sentence, "but I don't want to look for another job," I say and try shutting my eyes. I feel her sitting next to me and I reopen them and flip onto my back. "Listen, you can always work at a cafe or department store but I'm being serious when I tell you to leave! Kim Minseok is trouble! Like its taking all of my energy to not flip out at everything you just told me! The fact you act on what he wants from you!" she says and then smacks my head. I wince rubbing my head, "sorry for being a disappointment," I say sitting up, "shut up," she says and gives me hug. 

"SO...where is your man at?" I ask her and she lays down, "umm..whats the time?" and I tell her its 9pm. "On his way home," she says and I smile at her, "your both so cute..." I say and turn to see her blush. Then I feel my phone vibrate, I pull it out and see its Chanwoo. "Your with Chanwoo again?" Annalisa asks and I nod, "I'll tell Maiko when we meet up properly," and Annalisa hums. "Shes protective but she is dating Chanwoo's bestfriend.." and I nod, "see she can't kill me, plus I wont hurt Chanwoo." Annalisa laughs and then turns to me, "your boss will," and I sigh.
