Paris in the Rain [Jaeyong]

Chapter 18 : Yeonjoo

18 | 9:21 a.m.

"Ellie~~" I sang, twirling my body around the room as I reached for my cat who just calmly sat on the bed, taking her in my arms as I raised her up in the air.

"It's a big day today for us!!" I sing-songed as she only meowed, her eyes darting around the room.

After my realization of a new life, I knew just how much I wanted to savor every single drop of blessing and happiness that may come in my way.

The sky was very blue today!

And the city was lively down my building, something that I am able to appreciate for once!

It made a big smile form on my face as I went on the shower, humming Sweatpants by Lauv as I dazzled around the shower stall.

I dried myself after a long shower and scanned my closet on what to wear. Maybe something bright and lively would brighten up my mood. I took a white and red color block graphic sweatshirt and a pair of overalls. I opened my sock drawer, pulling out unmatched socks(I'm OCD but I don't care right now) and pulled them on before wearing black sneakers.

I took a bag, placing my needed things in such as my laptop, phone, wallet. I also placed in my umbrella in case it rained, a folder of papers and scripts that I had worked on, a comb and perfume.

All set.

I walked out, and walked over to the kitchen, feeding Ellie before making myself some toast and warm latte before I decided to go.

Taking my car, I drove towards the address at the back of Alexander's business card as my playlist played loudly in my radio. It was playing Take Yourself Home by Troye Sivan and I couldn't hep but sing along to it.

(A/N : I'm listening to it right now— in a car lol)

The ride was pretty smooth aside from this bicycle that sped past me, my heart jumping out of my chest as I hit the brakes, my body jolting forward. I could vaguely remembered that I had cursed the fuck out of that biker.

So now here I am, in a quiet, posh conference room as I sat nervously in my seat, the aircon silently whirring in the background. The receptionist told me Alexander would be here as soon as he can because he was talking to the representative of UMK.

That made my anxiety spike up.

I heard the door open and I quickly got on my feet, rubbing my shaking hands together as I took a deep breath.

Alexander went in, clad in a maroon suit, the tie hanging on his heck as he walked and two buttons opened. Behind him was what looked like 30 to 35-year old man who wore a black crisp suit as he went over to the seat at the end of the table, the chair where I saw to his right.

A woman followed afterwards, her brown hair in a bun, her glasses sitting perfectly on her nose as she held several folders and a clipboard, an iPad on top of the pile as she held a pen.

Alexander walked over to me and gave me a hug, "Good morning, Taeyong. Did you get a good night's sleep?" He asked before standing beside me.

I smiled nervously, "Good morning, Alexander. I did, thank you for asking."

"This is UMK's Representative, Mr. Kang Seojun. Mr. Kang, this is Lee Taeyong." He introduced and I turned to the old man, bowing respectfully.

"Nice to meet you." He held a hand out and I accepted it, a tight hold to a firm handshake, a small grin forming on his slightly wrinkled face.

"Nice meeting you too. I've heard a lot about you."

Before I could even ask him about him, the door burst open, a flurry of strawberry blonde hair meeting my eyes along with a tall slim body in a white chiffon blouse, a black high waist skirt reaching her mid-thighs.
