Subject: I finally got a job!

Dear Lee Chaerin,

I was scrutinizing the not-so-lanky guy who's standing very elegantly before me. Pink haired, piercings here and there, eyes lined very thickly with black eyeliners. (Which is so not my style, but that's not the point. I actually hope that I'll get a sleek and clean-looking boss, but well life doesn't always happen the way you want it to be). Even from afar, you'd know that he's wearing Louboutin, Chrome Hearts, surprisingly Givenchy, (I know all of those because you told me! Thanks God, I don't want to look like a dumb secretary who doesn't know anything about fashion company and all), designer pieces from head-to-toe. Overall, he looked casual but professional, well-polished, befitting the image of the CEO of Kwon Fashion & CO. One minus point, his language.
       "You piece of dog , how many ing times have I told you not aggravate the situation. What in the were you thinking about?" he said as he glared at a very coward-looking employee, telling him off. "Why the do you think a person as brainless as you, are able to work here? It's all because of connection. CONNECTION. If it's not because your uncle slipping some amount of money into those mothering interviewers' pockets. Don't you think I don't know." ( I bribed Minzy, our little maknae to get my a schedule for a private interview here. But thanks heaven, he doesn't -or hasn't- know about it)
He "barked" for another 15 minutes, then he told the employee to get lost. He then walked to his mini coffee maker, brewing a cup of coffee for like.. 7 minutes? He made his way back to his desk and finally he locked his gaze at me. "So, you're applying as my secretary?" I nodded vehemently as I nervously played with the hem of my skirt. ( His voice is very high-pitched for me. Even yours are lower!).
"I don't hire mute secretary".
"Yes,sir"
"You seem to be so lacking, no extraordinary achievements, and you're,..old. There are lots of young beautiful women wanting to work here, tell me a reason why should I employ you as my secretary?"
I didn't have any reason, really. I was just in a desperate need for money and career. But of course I couldn't give that as an answer, Chae!
So I said, "Maybe it's because that I'm old, I won't have any interest in you,sir. Given the fact that I'm not a e. So I can work professionally without taking a glance at you every second, hoping that you would take a glance at me and love me and whatnot. And also, since I'm lacking in many ways, I would try to be as hardworking as my tiny body allows me to be. I may not have extraordinary achievements, I can't speak 4 different languages, I even got C in my Korean Literature class, but I'm hardworking, I'm full of passion, and I'm not a slow person. I believe with those three things alone, I have the qualification to work as your secretary. That's all." ( I actually got D, but of course I won't tell him! ). I think I impressed him with my nonsense because a few seconds lather he looked at me and said, "I don't like my secretary wearing the old collection of Mango, get here by 6 tomorrow morning, It would be very well-appreciated if you can wear something fresh and fashionable. From Kwon Collection if necessary." and he hushed me out.

Few days after, I went home early and decided to write you this e-mail along with the one I sent you the day before.

XOXO,
Sandara Park
