I froze with my mouth open and so did he. As soon as he walked in and saw me, he kinda did a double take and froze on he spot.
I also was in disbelief. Even though we only met once, that meeting was not very pleasant. But sure memorable.
"Do you two already know each other?" His father spoke up from the silence.
"No." Mr. Obnoxious said straighting his suit up. "Never saw her once." He walked over to the empty chair and sat, drinking his coffee.
"Oh! Well this is a perfect time to meet then. Y/n, this is my son Yoon Phillip. Phillip this is y/n." We both just looked at each other. No other interaction. He looked away and spoke.
"What did you call us here for."
"I'm, uh, glad you asked." The man shifted in his chair a little and tugged on his tie slightly. "Something had come up that involves you and y/n quite intensely. So Phillip, you know that I need to retire soon because this job as CEO requires someone young to keep it going. And you, need someone to be by your side. I'm not talking and an assistant, but BY your side. As in forever."
"Dad? What. Do you mean."
"You need to get married-" The CEO got those words out as fast as he could it was almost impossible to interpret what he said.
"I WHAT." Phillip got up so fast his chair flew back. I jumped a little. How the heck am I involved in this mess??
"Son, sit down please... Let me explain."
Phillip finally sat down, but the rage in his eyes were very much still there.
"You know how your mother and I were arranged and we grew to love each other very much. I couldn't imagine being with anyone else. This is how it needs to be, you need to have someone to be by your side. I know it's not ideal, but this is the way it always has to be. Please don't think this is my choice." You could cut the tension with a knife. Phillip sat forward with his hands gripping the arms on the chair. I'm kinda surprised there isn't a dent. His father looks a little scared or nervous. I can tell how hard this is to tell his son.
"Who then?!? Tell me who this person is I must get married to."
"Heh uh you actually know her already."
"Oh really. Then who."
"Y/n."
Say what now? I looked up and saw everyone looking at me. My father looked really guilty. CEO Yoon looked nervous. And Phillip looked at me with complete disbelief and utter horror.
"What?? I don't think I heard you correctly. Me?? How-why? Why me?" I can't seem to process what is happening. I feel like my brain is dead.
"I'm sorry Y/n, I didn't find out until yesterday that it had to me you." My dad tried to touch my arm but I brushed it off.
"WHY ME THOUGH? There are hundreds of other girls. Why. Me."
"Because dear you have the qualifications to be a wife to a CEO. Oh, that wording is bad I'm sorry. But what I mean is that you need to be strong in every way. And you are, very much so. You probably would have been 'chosen' even if you weren't my assistant's daughter." Phillip and I just sat there with our mouths open. We couldn't process fully what is going on. This is so sudden. I never even dated, zero experience in men. At all.
CEO Yoon continued on.
"I am fully aware of how sudden this is, I truly am sorry. But there is one thing." We all looked over. "You need to be married in a month." What. A month. I just met the man, and it wasn't a very good first impression. Now I need to get married to him. In one month. From now.
"I object. I can't get married to her." Huh?
"She is not someone I have chosen. You did. I-"
"Son I told you all your life this is what must happen. Why do you seem this surprised?" I know why. I can tell he hates me. I'm not a fan of him either.
