Mr CEO is my neighbour? || Park Jihoon

06

"Hana! You already arrived.. Sadly today Woojin took a day off because he said that he felt unwell. Yesterday he didn't look sick at all. I wonder what happened to him." My other coworker, Jaehwan chats with me while entering the office.

"He called you just now?" I ask, concerned. Jaehwan nods, walking to his desk to get his work started.

"Have he took his hangover soup? Last night he drank quite a lot until he become drunk like that." I mumble.

"Who are you worried about? Have you clean my room like how I told you before?" Mr Park stands next to me all of sudden, asking me with his cold tone.

My eyes circled. How could I forgot about his strict instructions? I duck my face as I'm afraid to look at his face when I don't even do any of the works he told me to do every morning.

He enters his room, calling me in just a few seconds he stepped in. I quickly run into his room getting ready to be scolded. He glares at me angrily.

"Miss Jung.. What's this? Can't you see that there is a lot of dusts here?! And what's this, my pencils are not sharpened at all. Did you call yourself a secretary?!" He complains mercilessly without even thinking about my feelings.

I bow a few times before leaving his room, not even say a single word to him. I hide my face in my folded arms, sobbing on my desk. I think what my mom said a few months ago was true; I should discontinue my work as a secretary if I wanted to get a boyfriend quickly.

I open my computer to write my resignation letter. I can't take this pressure anymore. When Mr Yoon was my CEO, he always take care of me and didn't even scold me although I'm wrong. I smile alone reminiscing those sweet memories.

"Should I print this resign letter now? I think.. I better save it first as a draft." I mutter.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

I raised up my head as I noticed that I fall asleep after I writing the resignation letter for me. The first thing I search is what time is it now - 13:00. I skipped my lunch time again like yesterday's.

A sky blue post note stuck on my computer's monitor. I take it off to read the written notice from who-knows-who. "Miss Jung, come into my room if you have woke up."

I scrunched the note, throwing it into the dustbin. My eyes darted into Mr Park who is inside his room drinking a cup of Starbuck coffee. I take a deep breath before take my steps to enter his chilly cold room. He gestures me to come towards his table without a smile in his face.

Will I be fine? He looks so moody today..

He gives me a strange paper bag that seems heavy. "Miss Jung.. I'm sorry if I made your heart broken with my words just now. Take this, I know you're hungry because lunch time already passed. I will feel sorry if I wake you up from your nap.." He pauses for a while.

"You can eat them now but in my room.. I will give you a chance today. But, promise me you won't forget your chores every morning." He adds, showing me a sweet smile.

I take a seat on the sofa near to his desk. I put the bag on the coffee table, taking all the insides out. A full set of McDonald's lunch treat. I'm shocked to see the meals that Mr Park gave me.

"Mr Park.. Thank you for these foods. I'll granted the promise!" I bow to him politely before take a small bite of the fillet burger.

"Actually.. I also want to share foods with you. I haven't eat my lunch also." Mr Park sits in front of me while taking out the same paper bag as he gave to me just now.

I chuckle watching him having a hard time munching the triple cheeseburger. His mouth smeared with the mustard and ketchup. I take the napkin in the bag, wiping his mouth cleanly.

"Mianhae.. I really don't care about my appearance when I'm eating. Thank you for wiping it, Miss Jung." He comments while eating the fries together with the burger.

"I.. I'm sorry if I'm not good enough to be your secretary. I'll try to improve day by day. I won't embarrassed our department.."

He closes my talking mouth with his point finger. "Miss Jung.. I'm the one that not good enough to be your CEO. I'm too strict and too picky. I should learn how people always used to live in medium financed life." He explains.

".. Also, can I ask you to accompany me when lunch time? I need someone to talk to.." He confesses.

Do my ears heard something wrong just now? Did Mr Park just ask me for a ridiculous favor? Is that really Mr Park that I hate the most?
