POV Jiwoo

I looked at him, not knowing what to say. The man was looking for me? So my father really sent him here. I swallowed and looked at the floor. Why would he do that? Why can't he leave me alone? I raised my head and looked at the boss, who was patiently waiting for me to talk. ''I... I don't know what you are talking about'', I moved my leg up and down , ''I never saw that man before, why would he look for me?''. The boss stayed silent and looked at me with piercing eyes. 

He started to talk and I got goose bumps, because his voice was so scary. It may sound exaggerated but that voice, could make anyone shiver in fear, ''I know that this man was looking for you, Jiwoo. When you were working at the bar, he was watching you. I guess he waited for you to notice him, but you didn't that's why he walked away''. I looked at him surprised, ''Wait. He was watching me?'', I ran my hand over my arm. What is this?

''I won't say that twice, you heard me'', I swallowed and bit my lower lip, ''Why did that man look for you? Do you know from where he is?'', he leaned forward, laid his hands on the table and put his chin on his folded hands. I went back a little and looked at him, ''I told you already, that I don't know!'', and that wasn't a lie. I really don't know, why this man is looking for me. ''So you think it's okay to lie?'', I squinted my eyes when the boss said that. 

I breathed out the air loudly, ''Mister Lee as you don't like to repeat yourself, I don't like it either. And I hate it, when people say that I'm lying when I am not'', I leaned forward and looked into his eyes, ''But I'm going to make an exception for you. I don't know why that man was looking for me. Do you understand?''. I saw that he tensed up a little so one could see his arm muscles under his shirt. I feel sorry for all his enemies. 

He sighed and leaned back, ''I really don't know if I should believe you or not'', he drove his hand through his hair, ''Does the Name 'Godspeed' tell you something?''. I widened my eyes and I almost choked. If I say no, then it would be a lie, ''Yes... I heard that name somewhere... but why?''. He cracked his knuckles, ''Oh, that was just an unimportant question''. He looked for something in the drawer and I panicked. What if he is searching for a weapon? Is this the place, where I will die? But I didn't even get to be at my friend's wedding! Wait. Why would I be scared of this man? He won't kill me! He's a normal person!

''You were really calm when all of this happened. That's a little strange, don't you think?'', he looked at me and I tried very hard, not to show any fear. He continued to talk, while looking at the drawer, ''Do you have experience with this stuff?'', this time he looked at me and there was something in his look, I couldn't define. ''I...'', I sighed, ''Yes... my father is a man, who likes weapons very much. Sometimes he took me to those shooting houses and learned me how to shoot. That's why I am not scared, while hearing a shot''. 

The boss put his head to one side, ''Really?''. I nodded, ''Why would I make this up?'', I looked at my nails and bit my lower lip, ''Even if I didn't want to go, he forced me to go with him''. Why am I telling him that? I've only known him for two days! But I have to tell him that, so that he believes me and I don't get fired. 

He spoke up, ''I'm sorry to hear that. What does your Dad do as a living?'', I closed my eyes. I can't tell him that my father is a mafia boss. That would scare him and he would fire me. ''He's the boss of a company. The company is making weapons. What an irony'', I laughed a little and waited for his reaction. I small smile formed on his face, but disappeared again, ''Ah... well that makes sense'', he looked outside of the window and I studied his facial features.

I said that he was handsome, but I didn't know that he looked this good! He probably has a girlfriend or even a wife. These men are always in a relationships. My stupid ass is going to die lonely, because my standards are too high. And why is that? Because these men exist! Damn, now I am envious of Areum, because she found herself a handsome man.
