What's Wrong With Assistant Kang?

1. My Assistant

The late night sky was soon present over the Executive Director and assistant's heads. Tonight would be fairly beneficial for C&R International and its famous business deals. It would be no other than an elite party to which Jumin Han, of course, was invited.

And he brought possibly the most efficient employee in the whole world with him, Chief Assistant Jaehee Kang.

Tonight would be fairly beneficial, indeed.

"Greetings, Mr. Han." the host of the occasion as well as the director of his own company spoke to him as soon as he arrived, giving him a slight, respectful bow.

"Greetings, Mr. Jung," Jumin responded with a pleasing smile of his own as he bowed back, "this event seems quite interesting, may I say."

"I'm glad those are your thoughts regarding this. We may discuss the deal I promised after dinner is served. Care to entertain yourself until then?" he added the last part as he turned around to walk away to other matters.

"I will. Have a good evening."

As he said this, Jumin Han turned around himself before softly nudging his assistant's arm, who had been standing there blankly and silently as he spoke, only bowing down when the two men did.

"Come on, Assistant Kang," he muttered gently but clearly, glancing at her with those steely grey eyes of his, "follow me."

Jaehee nodded, before following her boss's orders as usual.

It may not look like it, but this whole "Pleasure to meet you! How are you?" was just a facade to get the real benefits: a good reputation and a good deal.

They came hand in hand after all.

"What should we do next, Mr. Han?" the brown-haired woman asked the very tall man next to her.

"As per usual, we'll talk with the international directors and share some casual conversations as well as exchange contacts."

"Understood, Mr. Han." Jaehee nodded firmly, feeling confident of her job.

Jumin suddenly grimaced, though, confusing her. "I'm afraid I'll also have to speak with Sarah Choi..." he explained his deep worry, avoiding her eyes.

"Oh, no... I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Han. My condolences." the assistant expressed with sincere sorrow.

Jumin sighed, aggravated, and rubbed his temples. "Yes, it will be hard. But what must be done, must be done, Assistant Kang."

"Jumin!" they both heard a squeaky long holler in the near distance.

Jumin hesitated for half a second before actually answering Sarah with no joy at all, "Hello..."

"Juminny! I missed you so much, sweetie! You said you were gonna visit me! Why didn't you, huh?!" she began the sentence with cheerful happiness but ended it with enraged annoyance.

"She changes emotions so fast..." Jaehee had a meaningless thought and a sweatdrop went down her cheek.

"I'm afraid I haven't had much time to reunite lately... I apologize." the raven-haired man said calmly, not even looking at Sarah.

His fake girlfriend huffed angrily. "Well! I'll forgive you... but only after you give me my gift."

Jumin blinked at the statement. "...Pardon?"

"My gift! Today is White Day, for goodness' sake, Jumin!"

The corporate director stood there along Jaehee, both puzzled and extremely silent. They exchanged glances with each other, as if concording what to do next with their eyes.
