Hush-Hush

DANGEROUS

-So tell me, Miss Park, what would you like to know about me first?
-I-... Miss Minatozaki, what are you doing in my office?
-Trying so hard to avoid the question I see. Ok, I'll play your game, I told you that I'd have my own conditions regarding to your project, I thought I'd discuss those conditions with you right now but I see you have other priorities, like, get to know things about me.

There it was again, that mischievous smile and challenging glance, she has been doing these to me ever since we first saw each other earlier today, it's like she knew me for years, who does she think she is to act this rudely to me, we don't even know each other yet she dares to treat me like I'm her inferior.

-That's not the case, you're a new face to me and since we'll be partners from now on it's logical I'd want to find out more about you, aren't you a big business woman? Don't you know that?
-Partners huh? I like it. Well if that's the case, why asking your secretary about me, why don't ask me directly? If you're interested in me that much I can tell and show you everything about me myself... Maybe over dinner?
-Sorry Miss Minatozaki but I already have another compromise, we can discuss your conditions tomorrow afternoon in the executive reunion.
-No.
-Excuse me?
-I said no. I won't come tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, you know Miss Park, I am a busy woman. If you want to find more about me, it has to be today, either you come or you'll never find out about my conditions until it's too late. I have no time to be here or to wait for your answer so I'm leaving.
-Wait... Ok, I'm coming with you.
-Great, we have reservation in 30mins.

How did she do that, why am I playing by her rules? I'm a very competitive woman myself but this time it seems like Sana is making me move at her song's rhythm just like she did with those other CEO's. I can't let this happen, I don't want to be her puppet too, she is supposed to be a new recruit yet she's acting like she's the most powerful woman in Korea and everyone's just playing in her game.
Anyway I'll just play by her rules for tonight, make her believe that she's got me too so I can find more information about her, then I'll make sure to kill that ego of her by making my project a big success... Now, I have to apologize to the other compromise I had today.

"Hey, I know this is so sudden and that we had plans but something important came out at work, can we do it another day? I'm really sorry"
"Again? Jihyo you have to stop working at some point and put yourself first for the first time, I was really looking forward to our dinner tonight"
"Sorry, Daniel... Let's do it some other time."

While we were heading somewhere that seemed far away from the city in her car I must confess I feel a little scared, I don't know this woman yet I'm in her car going to an unknown place only the two of us. She's driving, not talking at all, seems like she's deep inside her thoughts, her side profile is perfect, before in the office she had this powerful aura like she didn't care about anyone or that she looked at us like we were nothing but now, looking at her, the look in her face, in her eyes, they seem lonely.

-So, was your date an important one Miss Park?

She suddenly asked with a serious face and with her eyes still on the road, it felt somewhat scary.

-No, it wasn't nothing important... May I know where are we going?
-You'll see when we get there of course... Don't tell me you're afraid of me Miss Park, you don't seem like the scaredy-cat type.
-I'm not scared! Why would I be scared of you.

I saw her smiling, was she making fun of me? Seriously why is she treating me like we've known each other for years? As I was thinking this, my phone fell down the seat.

-Oh my phone fell,I can't reach it!
-Maybe it's already in the back, look for it there.

When I turned to reach for my phone, I grabbed what it seemed to be a knitted scarf... My head started to hurt so bad I couldn't keep my eyes open and couldn't help but to let out a scream.

-What's wrong Jihyo!? Are you ok?!
-No! My head... It hurts a lot, it burns!!!
-Did you take your medicine?! I'm heading to the hospital!
-No! I'm fine, I just need time and water, I'll take my medicine.
-Sure, I have water here...

We were parked in the middle of nowhere while we waited for my sudden headache to disappear.

-Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?
-Yes, I'm fine, plus the pain is disappearing already. Miss Minatozaki, how did you know I needed my medicine?

When I asked this, I saw an expression I never thought I'd see in her, she was nervous, but I'm not sure how to feel about it, she got nervous for a question regarding myself, how did find out about my medicine, there are people close to me that don't even know this information, how did Sana know about this and why did she call me "Jihyo" with such a warmth feeling before.

-It's obvious that if you feel current headaches you'd have a medicine for that. You'd be an idiot if you didn't carry medicine.
-How did you know I suffer from current headaches?
-I didn't, I only saw you were carrying medicine in your bag when we were in your office before. We better go, we'll be late.

Of course I didn't believe a single one of her excuses, seems like I'm not the only one interested in this woman but she seems like she was a step a big step ahead of me, she probably investigated everything about me beforehand and that makes her dangerous. I'll have to be very careful from now on, now, more than ever. I want to know everything about her. I should never trust Sana.
