In The Shadows

Chapter 11: Fish

"Harvey Grayson is arriving today", Zoey's excitement was radiating throughout her office.

Everybody was excited to meet the legendary Harvey Grayson.

"I can't believe he agreed to work with us."

"Of course he did. We're the best in Seoul and The States.", Zoey said with a bubbling confidence.

"He's here."

For a man in his late fifties he was very charming and equally cocky.

Ignoring everyone around he walked straight to Zoey.

"Pleasure to meet you again", Zoey smiled at him.

"Thank you for taking out time for us"

"Only for you", his eyes twinkled making her a little uncomfortable.

Trying to avoid the awkwardness she politely smiled.

"Shall we get started?"

                                                                                       _______

Zoey cannot deny how much of a perfectionist he was but also an arrogant male chauvinist.

"No No Zoey I don't think it's something you could do well", he grabbed her hands before she could take the designs of their new site with her.

"Excuse me?"

"It's not something a little girl like you could handle", he snorted at his own joke.

"Little?", she raised her eyebrows at him whilst he placed an unexpected kiss on her cheek.

"I'll see you tomorrow", without giving her a single glance he walked out of sight.

                                                                        ________________

Zoey was fuming when she reached home, it had been two weeks since she started working with Harvey and to say he is an asshole is an understatement.

She was pulled out of her thoughts when her phone rang.

"Jinyoung", her voice tired.

"You don't sound well for someone who was dying to work with her inspiration", she rolled her eyes at his comment.

"Inspiration when it comes to work. Yes he's brilliant at what he does but he's an ass", Jinyoung chuckled on the other side but said nothing so she ranted her frustration.

"He won't even let me make the layout rather he didn't let me change his stupid rooftop gondola?", she scoffed.

"Sounds like a real ass to me", Jinyoung finally said and Zoey absentmindedly nodded.

"I would love to chat with you but tomorrow is another stressful day of work."

"Okay okay. I won't take much of your time", she smiled suddenly at the sudden goofiness in his voice.

"Good night Jinyoung."

"Night Zoey."

Jinyoung was on his way to Nora's office as per her demand. When he finally entered her office he saw a frantic Nora pacing around.

"Hey", his happy voice made her stop.

"You", she accusingly pointed her finger at him, "You were supposed to be here 10 minutes ago"

He gave her sheepish smile before raising his eyebrows at her.
