Renjun opened the door, stepping into the Chairman's Office and was immediately met with a smiling Jaemin who was standing right in the middle of the room, as if he had been waiting for someone.
Renjun jumped in fright before bowing right after, "G-g-good m-m-morning, Si-sir." his cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
Suddenly, he felt his small figure become enveloped in warmth. It took him a few moments to realise that his boss was hugging him tightly with his head on top of Renjun.
"Good morning, my favourite secretary!" said Jaemin cheerfully as he continued to unconsciously sway the both of them, his strong arms wrapped tightly around the smaller as he snuggled closer.
Renjun was very confused, to say the least. Why was his boss hugging him? He decided not to comment on the boy's excessive clinginess and instead softly asked, "A-aren't I y-your o-o-only sec-secreta-ary?"
Jaemin paused for a moment before clicking his fingers and exclaiming, "Oh, yeah!" chuckling at himself.
Then, he cleared his throat, took a step back and tightened his tie before speaking again, this time his voice came out deep and slightly rough, "Alright. Come on, I'm going to introduce you to our staff, well, the important ones anyways." and he walked out the door.
Renjun stood there for a second, his brain not catching up with the situation as he kept on thinking about Jaemin's duality, I swear, his voice was higher than mine a second ago! What the-
He was suddenly snapped out of his thoughts as he heard Jaemin yell at him to hurry up. The boy was already at the end of the hallway as he tapped his foot and watched his secretary scramble out of his daze and jog quickly towards him.
The CEO could only chuckle as he watched the much shorter male hold up a finger as he caught his breath. "Took you long enough!" he said casually before grabbing the boy's small, raised, hand and starting to drag him down corridors filled with doors, some open and others closed. What confused Renjun was that they were all empty.
However, he didn't stay curious for too long, because as they turned another corner, he was met with the sight of a small stage, about a foot above the ground, that was surrounded by, what looked like, hundreds of people. So that's where they all went, he thought.
And that was when he realised that he was being dragged onto the stage, but it was too late to turn back now. As they stepped onto the stage and Jaemin let go of Renjun's hand, a hush had settled on the crown as they watched the pink-haired boy's every move, the girls watching him with infatuation in their eyes and the boys watching with envy.
Jaemin cleared his throat and stepped up to the wooden podium that stood tall in the middle of the stage. He scanned the crowd before opening his mouth and speaking, "Well I just want to keep this brief, I don't want to take up too much of your time. So, to summarise, I am very pleased to announce that I officially have a secretary now! Everyone please meet Huang Renjun!".
Everyone immediately started clapping at the statement, however, Renjun couldn't help but see and feel the angry glares directed at him by most of the girls as he awkwardly smiled and waved at everyone.
"Now, why don't you all get to know each other for a bit?" he said before turning to Renjun and immediately softening his voice towards the small boy, "I'll see you in my office in......", he looked down at his watch before looking up again, "exactly an hour."
Renjun simply nodded as he watched the boy flash a quick smile before walking back down the corridor they came from. He turned towards the crowd only to find half of them gone and the other half glaring and looking him up and down in disgust.
This is going to be a long day.
