The Boss and I

Chapter 4

"Pre ...... President," Jimin hastens to say hello.

Big Boss is leaning against the luxurious backseat with his eyes closed. He utters a faint grunt in acknowledgement and does not bother to open even one eye.

Senior Assistant Kim looks back and smiles: "Mr Park, get in quickly."

"Oh, all right."

Jimin steps gingerly into the car. There is a fluffy white carpet. When it rains, would the carpet not get dirty from footprints? Fortunately, he is wearing his new shoes. If he wears his usual sneakers, there will be two big black footprints ......

Ah......

------

The car begins to move.

Hands on knees, back straight, eyes straight ahead – Jimin sits stiffly like an elementary school student next to the window.

Senior Assistant Kim is amused. Afraid that he is not comfortable so he looks at the gift in Jimin's hands to find a conversation topic: "Mr Park has prepared a gift?"

"Yes."

"Very interesting."

"Really?" Jimin is flattered. Suddenly feeling an affinity with Senior Assistant Kim, his body unconsciously leans forward. "I also think these toy ducks are cute. They also sing and each one sings a different song."

Jimin begins to show off his gift. Senior Assistant Kim offers praises so Jimin happily chats with him. Suddenly the President coldly chimes in ......

"Jeon Corp pays you a low salary?"

Jimin turns to see Big Boss arrogantly looking at him.

"Not low ...... uh ...... very high ......" Jimin discovers Boss Jeon's eyes fall on the gift. Does he think his gift is too cheap?

The hands holding the gift cannot help but tighten. Jimin plucks up his courage to argue: "Pre ...... President, these toy ducks may look ordinary, but in fact ......"

These toy ducks can sing and swim. Most importantly, the toy ducks have brand name! Brand name, do you understand? Very expensive! Even more expensive than ducks that can be eaten!

"In fact what?" Big Boss squints his eyes, his tone sounding slightly unpleasant, his face plainly saying "object me and die."

Jimin gulps: "In fact ...... these toy ducks are ordinary = ="

The car accelerates forward in Jimin's frustration. Nearing the club, JK answers a call and after hanging up his phone, he gives instruction to his senior assistant.

"Take him upstairs when we get there, Yura wants to see him."

Yura? Jimin remembers, that is Big Boss's sister. Why does Miss Jeon want to see him?

That is fortunate. Jimin is an adult but this is his first time going to a banquet alone. JK's judgment on the gift has crushed all of Jimin's confidence. Hopefully, he can quietly hand over the gift during the meeting and not lose face in front of a large crowd = =

The tall bodyguard who doubles as JK's driver parks the car. JK tells them to go ahead first. Senior Assistant Kim brings Park Jimin to take an elevator to a suite upstairs.

Yura is petite and very pretty, sitting in the reception area chatting with a few people. When she seesJimin coming forward, she warmly reaches out for Jimin's hands: "You're Mr Park, thank you for your help. Otherwise, I would have died."

Jimin is embarrassed and immediately blushes, shakes his head and says: "Oh no, I didn't do anything."

Yura smiles, pulls him down to sit and begins a conversation. Suddenly remembering something, she asks: "Mr Park, do you like the food?"

Jimin is surprised for a moment.

Yura says: "I told the cook to make your lunch and my brother's lunch together, did you not eat the food?"

"I have, I have." Jimin nods, suddenly realizing that it is Miss Jeon's order. Of course, Big Boss is arrogant, how can he think of giving a little employee lunch? If blood is needed, directly commanding his presence sounds more like him.

"Do you like the food?" Yura asks again. "It is delicious, it is delicious." Jimin nods. Everything except the pork liver was very delicious. "It's too much trouble for you."

"It's no trouble!" Yura smilingly says: "My brother is very picky about his food. Every day, our cook has to make lunch to bring to him so making another lunch for you is easy. I know people who work for Jeon Corp are hardworking to the point that they eat dumplings for lunch. You lost a lot of blood so you need to eat well."

This time, Jimin cannot help but feel a bit touched. This elite lady is very considerate.

Yura sees the gift in Jimin's hands and says in surprise: "This gift is for the baby?"

"Yes." Jimin hands over the gift. "These ducks can swim and sing."

Yura seems to like it. "I am afraid people would give money. That's meaningless, not putting in any effort. Did you know that at first when I asked my brother how to thank you, he said to write you a cheque but I think that's insulting ......"

Wah?!

Jimin stares blankly. A thought pops into his head – Elite lady, why did you not let Big Boss insult me! I want to be insulted ......
