DARA'S POV

I was silently cursing myself for what had happened between me and jiyong earlier but not totally regretting it.  I really wanted to taste his lips and felt his body against mine and it was a double treat when he responded with the same intensity as I am feeling.  Was he?....but I really feel that he does.  My chain of self thoughts were broken when my secretary suddenly blurted out "oh hum...Miss Dara...I almost did not recognized you."

"and may I ask why."

"Its just that you are very different today...you are so beautiful"  she said admiring me

"different today....beautiful?  Why, Am I ugly before and for the last 3 years you've been working with me?"  I said while looking at her

I saw her tense up and quivering " its not what I meant Miss Dara.  I'm sorry if I offended you."  

I smiled at her "none taken,  I was just teasing you.  Stop fidgeting like a pregnant woman who is about to give birth.  By the way, do I have any important meeting for today that I did not know of?"

Being as professional as ever she answered "None Miss Dara and  no paperworks were also handed over yesterday."

"Oh okey then, you can go back to your table now and thank you"  I saw her move to the door and close it.  I smile and roll my eye remebering her telling me 'beautiful'.  I stood up from my chair with a folder in my hand and left my office.   On my way to the accounting department I met kiko and jiyong by chance.  I intend to ignore their presence but my attention were called by kiko who greeted me with a 'smile'.   Yeah, she gave me a wonderful eared smile and even sweetly talked "Hi, are you new in here.  It was my first time seeing you."  

I look at her bewildered..Is she blind?  Did anything happen to her eyes?  How can she not recognized me.   I wanted to shout at her face 'I'm dara the nerd you idiot' but heard jiyong instead talking to her.."Kiko ah, she's..." but before he can even finish his words she cut him off "oppa, don't be too rude....its not you I'm asking.  She can answer my question by herself." and then she giggle infront of him and glance at my direction.

I smile mischevously inside and decided to go play with this dumb girl.  "I'm not new here.  I'm sure we've bumped and seen each on too many occassion but I guess you don't remember me."

I saw her thinking hard as she look at me "Do I really you know.  I can't remember seeing nor meeting you.  This really the first."

I smile at her obvious defiance.  "Oh you don't have to react to what I've said...it's really okey if you don't remember me. With a glamour and fame of being a top model like yourself who tend to meet lots people on many particular events and occassions , it is  quite understandable if you can't remember all of them and even me ...Miss Kiko Mizuhara." I'm sure that my litany of praises and mentioning her name will boost her self made ego too huge not to notice. 

The wide grin on her face only says that she is too damn happy with the praises..."Still it is not an excuse for me not to remember a very beautiful woman like you...were you also a model?"  

I couldn't help but be amused with her...me..'a model'  "I don't feel I'm up to that level.  I don't see myself in the league of 'beautiful'.  I look at  jiyong and was thankful that he's not saying a thing and I got this feeling that he find this encounter entertaining.  I even saw him laughing softly.

"I'm sure you are just being humble.  No one would dare say that you're not beautiful because you are and you possesses the qualities of being a model."  kiko eyed me from top to bottom  "Let me know if you want to pursue modelling...I am more than willing to help you."

Oh boy, I couldn't help but to laugh at her "That's indeed very sweet of you."  I look at my watch and said "I'm sorry Miss Kiko but I think I have to go now.  Nice talking to you though."  and was about to leave them but she held my arm which made me turn to her.

"Wait, I don't even get your name"  she said  

"Oh sorry...stupid of me."  I look at her....offered my hand and said "Miss Dara Park, finance chief executive."  

I smirk looking at her horrified face...got you witch.  She let a gasped and insanely muttering "no...couldn't be...impossible."  I withdraw my hand knowing that it wont be taken for a handshake.  She look at jiyong angrily when the latter is dying laughing his off.  She slapped him hard on his arm and said "Oppa, how could you." 

"Hey, don't be mad at me.  I was about to tell you who she is but you cut me off."  he said fighting not to laugh

 Looking at him an evil thought run to my already  horned head as I stepped closer to him and exclaimed "Jiyong ah, you silly boy..you didn't even bother to wipe my lip gloss on the side of your face.  Come on...let me take it off."  and  with that I run my finger to his lips.

"Oppa what was that."  kiko asked

"You naughty boy, didn't you tell her that you kissed me"  I whined.   I felt the building nervous tension in his body and the look of shock and surprise...Got you too 'dog'.   My revenge is now complete and I know that my final bow is not needed so I leave them in total chaos.
