Heyley

Click. I locked the door to my office closing it tight as my head hung low sprinting my way to my office. I just don't want to talk to anyone right now.

I curled myself seating on the floor leaning my back against the side of my office table. Why do I feel so worthless? Why do I feel so insulted?

"No way man! Why would I like someone like her?"

Kris's words played in my mind like a broken radio. I sat up straight and stared at my reflection in the glass door of my cupboard, screaming silently inside of me thinking what did I do wrong to make him despise me so much. I slapped myself so hard that I felt a painful sting on my cheeks.

Stupid girl, why did you even think about giving him a chance to let him explain.

The next thing I knew tears were trickling down my cheeks. First is about so much work I'm having lately that everything is coming to me. Second is about Nara's going to leave me and lastly it was all Kris.

It's been awhile I've never shed tears aside from the time when Kris pulled me away from Sang Tae. Geez why did I even remind myself about how warm Kris used to be. Or was he acting or some sort.

That's it, I'll stop mixing my own personal feelings with work.

Lay

As the clock strike 6.00pm sharp, I quickly shook myself off my office chair and headed towards Heyley's office to let her sign and recheck the latest report for the headquarters.

Thump. I was actually more than excited to see her because it's been awhile her beautiful smile greeted me with her cheerfulness.

Knock knock. I opened her door and eyed her concentrating figure writing away on a memo pad and scribbling charts. I don't think she realize I came in.

She seems stressed out and her hair wasn't as neat as her usual style. I wonder what's gotten into her.

"Anneong Heyley! Still engrossed with work?" I said teasing her.

"Oh my god! When did you come in?! Sorry. Where are my manners. Good morning Yixing, what brings you here?" she gave me a curt bow giving me a smile.

However, I can see it clearly that something's different. Her eyes were puffy as before and her lips were dry. Moreover, her left cheek was red. And obviously it wasn't some overdone make up.

"Is that for me?" She asked eyeing the files I had in my hand. I was snapped out of my thoughts when she brought out that question and I suddenly remembered why I came in here.

"Yeah, it's for the headquarters. We couldn't miss out the Head Of Department's signature you know," I gave her a wink earning a smile from her.

"And it's suppose to be 'good afternoon' not 'good morning'." I continued and she smiled at my obvious statement.

"I guess I left off guard thanks to the boatload of work from the new project." She answered while signing those files.

"Don't stress yourself, Heyley. And you should remember that you can always get all extra hands you need, just simply ask us, exo." I said to her.

"Exo? What's that?" She asked out of curiosity raising her brows. What? She doesn't know what, I mean who is exo? And I thought Kris was close to her.

"Is not what, but who. Exo is us, 12 of us, the 11 department leader including Kris. We're actually a clique since high school and our bond is tighter than ourselves with our family. Because there's too many of us. You don't expect us to call ourselves one by one when we're in a group rite? The list is too long if you ask me. Hehe. Kris didn't tell you?" Her face expression changed immediately when Kris's name was mentioned. Wait, what's going on?
