Eunbyols POV
It was the next day after the small dinner date, I looked in the mirror looking at what to wear... in the end, I decided to wear a denim pencil skirt with an oversized white blouse half tucking into the skirt. I made sure to wake up extra early today so I wouldn't be late for work...
The traumatic episodes of what happened that night played in my head, I thought I got over it the time I went back into the office to surprise Ong and Daniel but I guess I was wrong. I skipped breakfast because I was worried that I would miss the bus if I cooked something up. I was planning on stopping by a bread shop on the way to work.
I looked at the shoe selection in front of me on the way out, if everything was normal I would of worn heels with this outfit but I wanted to steer clear of heels for a while. I decided to wear some white flat shoes and with that, I got my handbag and left for work not even thinking about Ong who lived next door.
I got off the bus and skipped my way towards the bread shop as I entered the smell of freshly baked break flooded my nose and I was in pure delight. I saw workers from my floor, when I noticed them and waved at them they whispered amongst themselves and staring at me like they just saw a ghost.
"Are... you okay?", A female worker came up to me and nervously asked.
"Yes, I'm perfectly fine", I replied with a smile.
The tension in the bread shop was reaching its climax so I just bought a few different kinds of bread some sweet some savoury and rushed to work. As I scanned my id I went to the elevator greeting people as usual and giving everyone a bright smile but everyone gave me the same look like they just saw a ghost.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't hurt by the actions of my co-workers, its true a crazy ex-came after me and tried to kill me. It just hurts how they cannot support me and instead isolate me like a disease. I finally reached my floor with a ding from the elevator and I got off. I scanned the room and all eyes were on me, the nervousness to approach me were written on everyone's faces.
Then finally a co-worker approached me...
"W-we... saw the news, and everyone here came to an agreement... it would be nice if you could resign from this company for the sake of everyone's safety", she stuttered.
I was honestly shattered, the first day back properly working and I get told off to leave the company for a crazy ex that tried to kill me...
"I-I... uh-", I was cut off.
"You have no right to tell a co-worker to resign from this company", Daniel came out of the dark after listening to what the girl told me.
"But this is for everyone's safety!", She argued with Daniel.
"Give me a list of all the people who 'agreed' with this little plan", Daniel gave a deadly glare.
I was so helpless at this moment all I could do was clench my fists.
The girl was about to talk again but with perfect timing, the elevator rang signalling that someone got off on this floor. I looked around and saw Ong walking towards me, with his hands he grabbed my wrists gently and pulled me towards the elevator.
"She's coming with me, and starting from today on she's working for me", Ong informed everyone.
"Says who, she's under my care, she's a worker here on this floor which I manage", Daniel fought back grabbing my free hand and pulling me towards him.
I felt so embarrassed...
"Daniel, you can't even protect here in this situation when shes getting attack from her co-workers, I cannot allow her to work on this floor anymore. Form today on she will be my personal assistant"
"What do you mean attacked?", Daniel asked
"I was watching the security camera on the way down, oh that reminds me your fired", Ong points at the girl who told me to quit.
"I have the ability to protect her, and weren't you the one who said personal assistants were stupid and you didn't need them", Daniel gave a triumphant smile.
"It was true until I met Eunbyol so back off", Ong shot a deadly glare to Daniel.
Daniel lost and slowly let go of my hands and I got onto the elevator with Ong.
"Wasn't I pretty cool back there", Ong sheepishly smiled at me.
"Don't fire that girl she was just conveying the message of her fellow co-workers...", I pleaded.
"Don't worry Daniel won't let that happen."
"So why all of a sudden, why the promotion to your personal secretary without me concent, and also does this job pay better, if not I am going back down there."
"Don't worry I will pay you five times more than what you would have earnt down there", Ong replied and my eyes flipped into dollar signs fathoming about the amount of money I could potentially earn.
As we entered Ong's private office he instructed me to sit down on the couch.
"So let's do a little activity since you're now my personal assistant I need to know a bit more about you", Ong leaned forward.
"What do you want to know?", I asked.
"Who was that woman that you called Mum?", Ong asked and I burst out in a fit of laughter.
"I'm a regular at her store, I went there a lot after my mother passed away with my brother and her cooking tasted like home and I became a regular there and slowly me and that woman got close and she treated me like her own daughter... so you could say that she's my mum now since I have no family members left"
"Now my turn"
"Who are you really?"

I have thought about an ending for this book sort of... anyways after this book is finished and my other book split love~ I want to write a really emotional story that has fantasy/ virtual reality/ games elements to it, I already have the plot all made and all I'm missing is the characters. Comment your biases and I could possibly choose or use them in the story!
