The next day at work, When Min ju was done with her research and work hours was almost over she decided to visit Hankang interior and see the designs that were scheduled to be introduced during the launch of Hankang interior. She asked for permission from the team leader but he said she should ask the president since she was working under him.
"Team leader, I would like to visit Hankang interior and see things for myself so that I will be able to do a better job at marketing the subsidiary and it's designs"
"Sure you can but you should ask the president since he gave you the task himself"
"Ok team leader "
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Min ju knocked on Soo hyun's office door, but there was no answer so she decided to go in. As she stepped in Soo hyun was changing into another shirt when she walked in and saw him half naked. She shouted on seeing him in that state, Soo hyun walked over to her and covered her mouth to stop her shouting. He wasn't wearing a shirt so Min ju was quite startled by the situation and instead continued shouting which led Soo hyun to come even closer to her as he grabbed her hands.
"Would you keep quiet?, if you continue shouting and someone walks in what do you think they will make of this situation?" Soo hyun said as he uncovered her mouth and let go of her hand. She came back to her senses and turned away immediately. She turned back on seeing the burn she had caused on Monday.
"Is that where I poured coffee on you sir?" She asked pointing to the burn on his hand
"Yes" he replied raising an eyebrow
"Am really sorry about that sir" She said bowing.
"Forget that, Why did you come in without knocking anyways?, are you a pervert?" He asked as he put on his shirt
"Who says I didn't knock, I knocked three times and you didn't answer. Besides am not the one who covered your mouth nor did I come so close to you when you were undeessed"
"That's because I was startled by your shouting"
"Still how could you come so close when you were undressed, you even held my hand"
"Oh,"Soo hyun realized he must have really startled her
"Why would you even be undressed in your office"
"It got stained, I need to go somewhere and I couldn't go with a stained shirt. Besides this is my office " Soo hyun was speechless
"Then why did you grab me, are you sure you are not the pervert?" Min ju asked as she turned around.
"Am not a pervert, anyways what brings you here?" Soo hyun asked as he went to sit on his desk.
"I came to ask for permission to visit Hankang interior and see the designs so I can draft up a suitable marketing plan for them" Min ju said still shaken from the encounter they just had
"Sure you can, I was going there anyway so you can tag along. And can you try to make sure we don't have many encounters like these anymore more?, am not comfortable with all the abnormally that follows you around. Go and get ready am leaving now"
"Yes Mr President" She said bowing
Min ju couldn't believe that had just happened, as she remembered what had just happened, she suddenly remembered that his packs were very impressive. She closed her eyes trying to forget what she had just seen. A few minutes later, Soo hyun came out of his office gesturing to her that he was ready. When Min ju saw him, her mind wandered back to when he wasn't wearing a shirt, she shaked her head trying to forget about it.
"Ms Park Min ju?" He called out to her
"Yes Mr President, coming"
As she sat next to him in the passenger seat of his black Mercedes C300 4Matic with him behind the wheel, she kept sneaking glances at him. She couldn't understand how someone who looked so thin was so muscular under all those clothes. She also felt extreme guilt for the burn she had given him two days ago. It looked like it had been serious.
"I can't believe I burnt him" she thought to herself shaking her head
"What is it?" Soo hyun asked
"Pardon?"
"You have been glancing at me for a while now and now you are shaking your head. Do you have something to say?"
" It's just that I didn't realize I had burnt you when I bumped into you the other day, didn't it hurt"
"Of course it hurt"
"Am really sorry about that. I didn't think it would be that serious. But if you had waited for me to get you some wet towels, It wouldn't have been that bad. I just hope it doesn't scar. I would never forgive my self then" she said looking dejected
"Why?, Is my skin too beautiful to have a scar?"he asked with a mischievous smirk on his face as he glanced at her
"Yes it is " It was already too late before she realized what she had just said.
"What?" He asked raising his eyebrow
"Sorry, my mouth answered that question without my permission, it was just like response to stimuli" she bowed her head down in disbelief. She couldn't believe she had just told her boss that his body was beautiful.
"It's good you know how to appreciate beautiful things" he replied with a smirk
"Oh dear God" she thought to herself as she turned her head away in embarrassment.
At Hankang Interior Soo hyun was being briefed about the preparations for the launch of the company, he didn't seem pleased with the preparations as things didn't seem to be exactly ready. He pointed out many problems with the preparations.
"Why are the lights over here blinking? Is the power source unstable" Soo hyun asked
"Yes Mr President, the building's power source has been having some problems recently, so it's actually not just here " the project manager amswered
"Why is that?"
"We had a short circuit yesterday, which it is still being fixed. It will be done by tomorrow" the manager said trying to calm Soo hyun down
"Ok then, but am not quite pleased with the arrangement. I urge you to do better, the ceremony needs to be flawless"
"Yes Mr President, we will definitely do better "the manager said assuring Soo hyun
"Ok then, this is Ms Park Min ju, she is the marketing coordinator, and she would like to see the designs meant to be released during the opening of the company " Soo hyun said gesturing to Min ju
"Hello Ms Park Min ju, If you would please follow me." The manager said as he led the way
"These are the designs we have right now. We have many designs for different places. We have new and modern designs for work places, schools, homes, hotels and many other places" the manager said gesturing to the many pieces of furniture and decorations as they entered the display room. The pieces were all covered in white nylon to avoid it getting dirty.
"The ones you see here were made to show case the different designs we have. They are the models that customers are meant to see when they want to see a design. This is the home section"
"Oh I see, and which particular age range would this designs be focusing on" Min ju asked as she jotted down what the manager said
" Well the designs for homes, will mostly be for young adults living alone and newly married couples"
"That's nice"
"Yeah, and we have quite a lot of designs with hundreds of them ready for purchase"
"Who came up with the idea of making the new designs focus on young adults?"
"Why do you ask?" The manager asked looking at Soo hyun
"Nothing, it's just that it's a good idea, and I would like to add he/she to my marketing strategy " she said as she he looked up at the manager
"It was the President's idea"
"Really? " She asked as she turned to look at Soo hyun
"Yes, why don't I leave you to look around, I still have some things to do"
" Oh yeah sure, you can we will finish up here and leave when we are done" Soo hyun said
"Ok then Mr President, see you around Ms Park Min ju " the manager said bowing as he left
" Wow these designs are really impressive, and very creative"
"You think so huh?"
"Yes, I like how modern they look"
"That's right, I knew it,you have an eye for any thing good"
"How did you even come up with these designs Mr President "
"Well let's just say there is nothing I can't do"
"Right, I guess that is possible"
Just then the power went out making their surroundings pitch black. Min ju became extremely startled that she grabbed onto Soo hyun.
"What are doing?, let me go" Soo hyun said, but it didn't seem like she was going to let go. He reached out to release her grip but she was shaking and it seemed like she was having a panic attack. He brought out his phone and turned on his flashlight and he realized that she had tears welling up in her eyes. That was when he confirmed that she wasn't ok. He didn't know what to do and was extremely confused. It was his first time seeing someone get a panic attack so he didn't know what to do. Min ju started to cry and she was slowly starting to have trouble breathing. Soo hyun started to panic. There was only one thing he could think of doing. He reached out and hugged her, while patting her back. He continued to pat her back and when it seemed like she was calmer, he took her phone from her purse and turned on the flashlight to make the place brighter.
