For a second, I forgot how to breathe.
No.
No way.
It can't be him.
But it was him.
The same man from earlier.
The same rude, handsome stranger.
And now…my boss.
I quickly lowered my head and hid behind my coworker.
Maybe he didn't see me.
Maybe he already forgot.
Please forget me.
Inside the room, Kang Min-ho eyes paused.
On the other side of the glass wall.
A familiar face.
The girl from the before.
The one who fell into his arms…
He watched her panic and hide behind another employee.
His lips moved slightly.
"Secretary Park."
"Yes, Director."
"The employee there "
"Name?"
The secretary checked the tablet quickly.
"Han Ji-soo. Marketing team assistant."
Min-ho nodded once.
Then he walked to the door and called
"Assistant Han Ji-soo."
My soul left my body.
The entire office went silent.
I slowly turned around.
He was looking directly at me.
Definitely remembered.
"M-me, sir?"
"My office."
My coworkers looked at me with pity.
I walked towards his cabin.
Inside his office, the door closed behind me.
The room was quiet.
Too quiet.
He walked past me and sat down. Then he placed something on the desk.
My ID card.
The one I dropped earlier.
My soul almost left my body.
He looked at me calmly.
"Earlier… you were saying something."
I froze.
Right.
I shouted at him.
I bowed quickly.
"I'm sorry, sir! I didn't know it was you! I was angry because I fell!"
He kept looking at me. No expression.
"I didn't mean to be rude," I added softly.
Silence.
Three seconds.
Five seconds.
Ten seconds.
I was about to faint.
Then he spoke.
"Bring me peach coffee."
I blinked.
"…Sir?"
"Now."
"Yes sir!"
I rushed out immediately.
I was alive.
For now.
