The woman who was not chosen

Chapter 13

Dara Park was aware that like most big companies, the structure of Kwon Enterprise would be similar to the one in her grandfather's company. The higher one's office was located in the building, the more powerful and outstanding their position was. Aside from the people from the security team, only the receptionists were on the ground floor and they were usually low ranked.

She knew that if anyone adhered to her request, it would result in their immediate expulsion and they can also be possibly blacklisted.

Dara Park knew it would be pointless to continue pestering the receptionist and saw the obvious relief on the receptionist's face when she politely thanked her without making any unreasonable demands.

With a heavy sigh, she could only walk away and think of an alternative. But she didn't want all her effort to be in vain, so she pulled out her phone and see if there was anyone, she could call that wasn't Kwon Jiyong.

Without watching where she was going, she had roughly collided with someone and heard the sound of papers falling to the ground. Silence descends on the bustling lobby and it turned so quiet that not even a single pin drop could be heard.

Confused at what just happened, she raised her head to see Chen Xie staring down at her with a group of seemingly important men following behind him. Her eyes scanned the environment and deducted that he had dropped his files on the floor when she bumped against him.

"I'm sorry-" She hurriedly said and was about to bend down to help pick them up but he suddenly grabbed her.

"Leave that to someone else. What are you doing here?" He asked her while he gestured towards an employee who scrambled to pick up all of the papers.

"At least let me help her. I was in the fault as well." She frowned, eyeing his hand which immediately released her.

"Indeed, you're also at fault. But there is a man upstairs who will have my head to see your fingers touch the floor." Chen Xie said, his expression stoic and stony. She could see why Bom Kwon often complained about her brother's secretary and called him the 'Ice King'.

"A man who will have your head?" She dumbfoundedly repeated his analogy, eyeing him like he had gone crazy.

"Yes and I'm sure you already know who." Chen Xie scrutinized her as he sized her up. This was only the second time that he had seen her in person, but he knew too much about her because of all the in-depth investigation he had to do on her background. He knew she had a high IQ. She even graduated from Harvard Business School early. But it seems that just like his boss, this genius of a woman was lacking in EQ.

"Putting that thought aside, what are you doing at the company? Does he know you're here?" Chen Xie purposely decided to not name his boss here. Right now, even if they were inside Kwon Jiyong's territory, they were still in the least secure part of the building. It would do no good for him to reveal this woman's connection to the boss, especially with the ruthless executives standing behind him.

"I wanted to deliver something but the post office was closed. Since you're here, can you deliver it?" She asked him while handing him the envelope in her hand. She quickly caught on to what he was attempting to do and decided to obediently comply with it.

Chen Xie's impression of her had slightly improved. It seems that this woman truly was quick-witted. When they last met, even if he saw how she had taken care of Kwon Jiyong, he also knew of the commotion that had happened while she was there. This time around, it seemed that she wasn't as foolish as he originally thought.

"I can but wouldn't it be better if you personally handed this to him?" He refused to make any move to take the envelope from her outstretched hand.
