"Aisshhh!...Nothing works out perfectly for me." Emily pouted her lips and threw the soju she was trying to open away.

"Hhsss..." She inhaled, propping herself up on her elbows.

She stared at the mirror and clicked her tongue. "tsk tsk tsk."

She let out a small smile. "You are such a failure Emily."

"Ahhh,it's a good thing I got dumped today." She nodded her head vigorously.

She stood up from the chair and grabbed a sweater from her closet,she wore her slippers,took her earmuffs, and took her last cash from her purse before walking out of her studio apartment.

She had decided to visit a bar for a cocktail shake.

At a certain corporation,the conference room was cold as usual,not because the air conditioners were on,but because the CEO of Empire World Corporation was not in a good mood as usual. He had never been in a good mood, but it seemed his mood that day was critically worst.

He had kept the officials in the room for four hours straight. Even though some of the officials were older than him,they dared not complain.
Considering the fact that the ACs were on and functioning perfectly well, everyone in the conference room was supposed to be freezing from excess cold, but the reverse was the case. The officials, Noah, the CEO's personal asisstant included, were sweating profusely like they were on the hot seat.

Lazily, Joel placed his left elbow on the arm of the office chair he was sitted on and raised his left hand slightly, in the air, from where he sat at the far end of the conference table. On the cue, Noah stopped reading.

'Thank you Lord Jesus.' Noah cried innerly.

He had been reading the week's agenda, non-stop, for hours.

"That's enough for today."

Even though Joel's voice sounded cool, it still made the officials shiver in their seats.

There was that cold aura his voice had. Even the whole of him.

Lazily again, he stood up on his feet, buttoned his well ironed tuxedo and took long strides out of the conference room.

The officials stood up on their feet very quickly and bowed. They dared not look in his face even though he wasn't looking directly at any of them.
And even if they wanted to,his cold aura wouldn't let them.

They all had their eyes on their scripts till Joel left the room.

Swiftly, Noah arranged the blue scripts he had been reading and trailed after his boss.

Immediately the officials were sure that the CEO and his assistant had left the room,they immediately packed their documents and scrammed out, heading towards different directions.

Some of them had been trembling from starvation since they begun the meeting.

As Joel walked made his way out of the corporation, the few people that crossed his path would bow their heads in fear as the cold aura emanating from him, making them fidget uncontrollably.

Joel got in his personal elevator and just when it's doors were about to slide close, his assistant ran in.

'boss' legs are always too fast.oh! life is so unfair to me!.' Noah cried innerly as he rushed into the elevator.

Immediately the elevator reached the ground floor, Joel took long strides out of the building and headed towards his car, with his personal assistant run-walking behind him.

Something flashed through Joel's eyes and he stopped abrubtly.

Noah who didn't know his boss was going to stop so suddenly,ran right into him.

Joel turned around and swept his cold gaze over him.

"I-am-s-sorry s-sir." Joel stuttered, breaking into cold sweats.
He bowed his head immediately.

Ignoring his assistant's stupid behavior, Joel twitched his lips.

"Hand over my car key." He ordered, staring expressionlessly at his assistant.

"S-s-ss-sir?" Noah stuttered yet again, his face to the ground, as he dared not look at his boss,the CEO of EMPIRE WORLD, in the eyes.

Joel's face darkened. He hated repeating himself, and Noah knew it too.

Noah gulped.

Although he wasn't looking at his boss in the face, the sudden cold he felt through his spine told it all.
*DON'T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF*...

Noah brought out the car key in his pocket, fidgeting, and handed it over to his boss.
With a swift movement of his hand, Joel grabbed the key from Noah and got in the uniquely parked silver benz.

"Good night boss" Noah bowed.

The screeching sound of the CEO's car moving out of Empire World Corporation, onto the tarred road of Seoul, replied Noah.

Noah raised his head and opened his mouth. He shook his head.

'my boss is....' he waved it off.
