Office Lover

Worst encounter smells like temptation.

L'Eclat du Soleil...was the fashion brand I worked for. It was one of the major companies in the country... we were headquartered in France, rinning multiple brands to accommodate various targets. It had been 2 years since I joined the company of my dreams. I worked hard with my senior

co-workers everyday as a secretary to the president. An award ceremony for the country's most prestigious design award was to be held that day. An amazing world of splendor spread right before my eyes. I let out a sigh, he called out to me.

President: "Is everything okay? You look so disoriented...Are you tired ? "

Smiling before me was an elderly gentleman, the president of L'Eclat du Soleil... the man I was working for as secretary.

Ayano(Me): ( I guess all the glittar is getting to me. He was kind enough to bring me all the way here...and the crowd gets me sick?)

Ayano: "I'm so sorry for making you worry, sir! "

President: "Oh , I don't mind. Maybe I wore you out by taking you around to too many places... since you're leaving me."

Yes ,I was leaving him soon. My one-year stint as secretary over...

I was about to start on a new job as a personal assistant to a board member.

Ayano: " I've always wanted to come to parties like this... Thank you for bringing me here today, sir. "

President: "Well, this is the industry after all. "

The president smiled and looked down around the venue hung a drop curtain with he words.

'Maiyomi Design Award' on it.

The Maiyomi Design Award... was a prestigious award. Most Japanese designers who won the award are now working globally.. it was on award given to the most stylish designer by various fashion magazines and media.

Ayano: " It's really great...that a L'Eclat du Soleil designer could win this award."

President: " Yes, he worked for so hard for this."

Ayano: (The president looks so happy... with the winner being from our company. All eyes would be on L'Eclat du Soleil.)

President: " I knew Kitazawa would win the award someday. He's really got talent."

The president smiled proudly.

President: " Did you know who he was before he won the award? "

Ayano: " Well, of course. There's no one at L'Eclat du Soleil...who doesn't know who Omi Kitazawa is"

Ayano: (Actually, I only saw him once from distance at the company, but his designes are amazing. It'll be my first time seeing him up close...I wonder what he's like? ....Really cool, I bet)

As I stood there daydreaming....I felt the president smiling at me.

President: "....."

Ayano: "Why are you smiling like that, sir? "

President: " Just thinking how interesting fate can be."

Ayano: " Huh? What do you mean?"

Just when I was about to ask what the president meant...the venue started buzzing.

Ayano: (W-What is it? A fire? )

Ayano: "What happened? "

President: " Let's go look."

Ayano: " Yes, sir !"

I hurried after him.

Ayano: "Aargh!"
