"Coffee break cancelled! Chairman Lim is downstairs!" Bambam hissed, making you almost spill your coffee on your dress. You had thought you can catch up with your cousin after a hectic week, but he arrived with a terrible, terrible news.
"What?! He didn't say he'll come!" you exclaimed as you try your best to keep up with Bambam's long strides despite wearing ridiculously high heels. You didn't know Chairman Lim would come today and make you run through the hallway in order to get to your office and act like everything's fine. After days of headache, all you wanted was a bit of clubbing before you sleep through the weekend. The chairman of the board didn't seem to adhere your plan.
"It wouldn't be called a surprise inspection if he gave us a memo!"
You groaned. Bambam turned to the left side, where the Marketing Department was, while you went straight to the Accounting Department. You found your subordinates already panicking and trying to make it seem like all the papers around were necessary files. Everyone was afraid of Chairman Lim's temper. Even though CEO Park was already a force to be reckon with, nothing could beat Chairman Lim's inspections.
In the middle of the chaos stood a boy. He was just there, watching things unfold in front of him. His back was on you but you're pretty sure he's new. You haven't encountered anyone that towering (except when Bambam wore those high heeled boots last Christmas party) or anyone brave enough to just loiter around knowing that Chairman Lim would arrive any second.
"Hey," you poked the tall boy.
He turned to you and had to look down to see your face. He immediately bowed politely. "Good morning, ma'am! I'm the new secretary that Bambam-"
"Chairman Lim just got out of the elevator!" the employee nearest to the door announced.
You watched as everyone turned to whirlwinds, practically flying to their seats. It's too late to go inside your office. Chairman Lim would definitely want to come in and ask you some things, but if he sees the mess you managed to acquire since your secretary filed a maternity leave, he would ask you to resign from a position that needed focus and organisation.
"Hide me," you told the boy in front of you.
"Huh?"
You moved to stand behind him, holding onto the back of his shirt so he could cover you well. With his height and built, he would be able to conceal you from anyone in front of him. It's your only choice. Chairman Lim wouldn't have to look at your office if he thinks you're not around. And your only cover was this oblivious boy.
The door opened before you could explain to the applicant about your life or more miserable life situation. From the silence and heavy atmosphere, you're sure that Chairman Lim, with his intense eyes and intimidating aura, had arrived.
You heard footsteps coming to your direction. Knowing Chairman Lim, he wouldn't want to disturb anyone as much as possible. Your staff were doing their best to act busy, so Chairman Lim could probably just ask the only lingering person.
"Good morning, Sir! How can I help you?" the man you're using as shield asked the chairman brightly. You admired his courage under such scrutinising gaze.
"Good morning. I don't think I've seen you here before?" Chairman Lim's cold baritone echoed within the silent room.
"I'm Kim Yugyeom, sir!" the newcomer introduced and was about to bow. You quickly pinched his side to remind him that he's supposed to be hiding you. He jerked a bit but kept his cool. He just offered a handshake to the superior.
"Kim Yugyeom. What do you do here?" you heard Chairman Lim ask as he accepted Kim Yugyeom's polite gesture.
"I'm applying for a secretarial position, sir. I was referred by my friend, Bambam, the head of Marketing."
