Memories Of The Alhambra (P6)

"Always go with the choice that scares you the most, because that's the one that is going to help you grow".

-Caroline Myss

ParkShinHye POV:

It's been 2 weeks now since I have been working for HyunBin. For those who don't know I am his Assistant. I work at Merry Gold Hotel. HyunBin is the CEO of the company rumour has it that his late grandfather passed it down to him.

I thought working as HyunBin Assistant was going to be easy but seems like the future had other plans for me. The first couple days working there I was already the talk of the town, "Chinese whisperers" everywhere. Everywhere I go or look people where going about how I got the job since I didn't have good qualifications compared to others. People can up with different theories however, the most crazy ones I had was I was gold digger, some said I had more than a "professional relationship" with him. The most craziest one was I was selling myself to him & being his slave since I was poor. Let's jut say this job I got easily came back to haunt me. I didn't have any friends at work. All the guys saw me as a "gold digger and the girls saw me "as a "social climbing  B*tch*". Everywhere I look I was followed with daggers. If looks could kill. 

The rumours started to affect HyunBin aswell even though he didn't say anything I could tell they started to take a toll. HyunBin and I had our first argument. He was furious and angry with me because I had printed off the wrong papers he was going to present in the board meeting. I mean I fully understand I was at fault but this is not the first time this has happened. Also a day I print of almost 100 different paper and files which sometimes gets confusing. When the happens I normally apologise then HyunBin always says " I should stop apologising, "practice makes the things perfect" he says. However, this time I saw a different side of him I could tell that he was angry with me. He did something I never thought I could ever see, shouting at me".  He did not only stop there. He told me maybe I made a mistake to employ me and that I should start looking for other job" His words stabbed me straight in my heart and they echoed that whole day. I knew I was wrong so I didn't bother to say anything I just stood there like a statute. I honestly wanted to cry I found myself automatically talking in my head "No, Not today ParkShinHye, you are braver than this, You have heard worse". I was just glad this all happened nearly at the end of my shift. As soon as I was finished I quickly ran out of there crying and got the bus back home. HyunBin offered to drop me off but he was the last person I wanted to be around, even though I was wrong.

HyunBin POV:

I am someone who normally doesn't care much about other people opinions or rumours, however this time this time it stated taking the toll. I didn't like people talking about someone I care for that way especially ParkShinHye. The girl has been through a lot. She came to Spain to lead a good life and change the fate her family had planned for her. I wouldn't want to be the reason why she runs away again.

Today I did something I deeply regret, I lost my temper & shouted at ParkShinHye. However, I wasn't shouting cause I was angry at her. Don't get me wrong she printed off the wrong papers but mistake happens. I got angry because I felt like I couldn't protect her even though I keep on going about "how precious" she was to me. My words did not match with my actions & that's pains me. She probably thought I was angry with her, judging on how she run quickly away from here after work had finished. When she apologised to me I could see her sadness from a distance & I didn't like that. I found myself shouting at her. The anger was more like frustration. Frustration that I couldn't protect her & that I was let people be horrible to her. "She was worthy of all the risk, if that meant I would have to fire everyone, I would do it in a heartbeat".

ParkShinHye POV:

When I got home I started looking back and thinking about everything that had happened today. What an eventual day. I also realised that when HyunBin was shouting, it wasn't aimed at me. His face had an apologetic look and disappointment "the look I saw a lot on my fathers face" every time he was genuinely sorry for how my mother had treated me. Even though he was shouting they was sadness in his eyes, even more screaming "I am sorry I couldn't protect you". I didn't want him to blame himself for what people had said about me. He already has a hard time with his job I wouldn't want to be the extra baggage that he has to look after. I am used to this & I have heard worse than this". Even though at the time I showed weakness, I managed to bounce back. "Words only hurt if they are true".

(Part2) PSH
I am going to let you on a little secret. I think HyunBin likes me and I mean "he really, really likes me. "like fancy the pants out of me like". I could just tell. I don't want to sound cocky or arrogant but the way he speaks to me compared to other colleagues, the way he's always flirting with me. He definitely likes me. The other day I went into his office while he's sleeping & I heard him calling out my name repeatedly in his dreams". Today I realised he wasn't angry at me, but instead disappointed in himself that he couldn't protect me. I might be slow but even this time I could tell I was "special to someone".

"BUT....HIS! HyunBin MY BOSS! I CANT!". Most girls would be over the moon having someone as rich & good looking as him crushing on them but I was different. I didn't want him like that. Yes his attractive and ticked all the girls boxes! BUT to me, he was a reserved & private person. "He liked listening to my stories but "I NEVER LISTENED TO HIS!. He wanted me to share my stories, "BUT NEVER SHARED HIS". He would always make an excuse when I ask him about his life.

They was something about him that I couldn't point my finger at but I only knew I felt safe & I could trust him that why I shared my life with him, something I couldn't even do with my own parents. However, when comes to him I got nothing in return. I hardly knew much about him.

"Maybe this is the reason why I pretend that I couldn't see his feelings for me"....
