Another day has come and here I am in my office thinking of what Andee said yesterday.

"Love is in the air"

Well I admit that I feel my heart beating fast and my stomach is churning every time I interact with him but I don't think I'm gonna fall in love. Not ever again.

Maybe I am just sick or something

Tell me I'm correct pleaseee....

"YOU'RE SUPER WRONG YOUNG LADY!"

I immediately stood up from my seat with my hand on my chest. I can tell that they saw my reaction from the glass wall separating us since they all went quiet. I fake coughed and went to them.

"What's happening here?" I asked sternly. I am really not the friendly type when working. Work is work and I must be professional.

"Oh nothing happened Architect Lee, I am just lecturing her since she got our coffees wrong again." The woman employee said. Most people in the company thinks that she's too arrogant that's why she doesn't get promoted.

I looked over to the girl and saw her clothes stained with coffee. I got a hold of her ID and saw that she is an intern. I removed my blazer and gave it her.

"As far as I know she's an intern not a maid right?" I said while glaring at her.

I saw her gritting her teeth before answering me.

"This is the only time we asked her to buy coffee Architect Lee."

"Oh really then why did you say earlier that she got your coffees wrong AGAIN. Do you think I'm dumb! and why do you need to splash coffee to her?!"

"I am sorry ma'am it will never happen again."

"Well I know it will never again because you're fired. I do not tolerate people with that kind of attitude. Now go!" I said as I pointed to the door.

She glared at me and was about to attack me but someone got a hold of her hand.


It was Mingyu

"Didn't you hear what she said. You're fired. I also saw what you did earlier so you really deserved it."

And

"Don't you ever lay your filthy hand on her."

Mingyu and I are now in a coffee shop near the company. We ordered our coffee and took a seat  near the window.

"So can you tell me why you fainted yesterday? Are you sick? because I can give you a leave no matter how long."

I laughed at what he said because he's willing to give me a leave no matter how long. That's a nice offer but I answered him seriously.

"Well I don't know if it's considered as sickness but I am diagnosed with Philophobia."

"What is that? Sounds serious to me."

"It is the fear of love or feeling emotionally connected with another person actually."

"Oh"

"Well I know it's weir-

"No it's not. I understand. Something bad must've happened for you to be diagnosed with that kind of phobia."

"Well what happened was really really bad."

"So that's also why many people in the company said you're not good with guys."

"You heard those?"

"Well I become interested since it was about you."
