"I already know that you are here because you guys are agreed for the partnership with us since our company is getting big here in America."

"I'm ready and for the contract, so am I." Seohyun said fluently it in English then the two began talking and reassuring themselves about business partnership, reading files and helping each other to solve about the situations.

After a couple of minutes, a sound of knock on the door got interrupted their discussions then opened the door, revealing the short-haired, petite figure wearing an office uniform with a brown pencil skirt on her bottom. "Oh Ms. Ellie Chan! Meet Ms. Seo Joo Hyun. She's also an Executive Assistant like you." Mr. Scott said to Ellie who is still standing there with files on her arms.

"Oh, hi Ms. Seo." Ellie bowed 90 degrees to Seohyun as the latter stood up from her seat and bowed back, they even shook each other's hand. "And Mr. Scott, these are all the files that you requested." Ellie said in English with a smile on her face as she glanced at her boss. Ellie went toward to Mr. Scott's desk then put the files on the table.

"Ms. Chan is also the star of this company like you, Ms. Seo. Both of you are very smart." Mr. Scott said as Ellie become fluttered after awhile she glanced to Seohyun who is still plastering on her face, then she smiles Seohyun back.

"Mr. Scott, I have to go back to work now." Ellie said then Mr. Scott nodded.

"She's wonderful, isn't it? One of the workers that I adore next to Jacob Hudson, my secretary of course. Both of them are really eager when it comes to work." Mr. Scott said then Seohyun just nodded.

After Seohyun leaves Mr. Scott's office, she's now on her way back home as she went to the ground floor. While her heels clicking along her way inside the ground floor, she met Ellie at the same time backfacing her, standing outside of the company waiting for a ride. "Annyeong hasaeyo." Ellie said as she glanced Seohyun over her shoulder with a smile

"Hi." Seohyun greeted her back as she walked toward besides Ellie. Then they paused for awhile. Ellie keep glancing to Seohyun then she cleared .

"It's my first time seeing you around here." Ellie said while tucking her hair behind her ear because of the wind blews. Then she fixed her dark chocolate fringe.

"Me too." Seohyun said with a smile. "Waiting for a ride?" 

"Yeah." Ellie said in monotone. "How about you?"

"Oh someone's going to pick me up here maybe----" Someone cuts her sentence by a deep male voice calling her name.

"Seohyun!" Seohyun turned around, searching for the owner then she saw Yonghwa walking towards her.

"Oh~ Oppa!" Seohyun cheekily smiled as she saw her boyfriend, she ran to him then hugged Yonghwa. While Ellie saw the entire scene. She can feel her heart clenched into fist. It hurts her so much. So, its her? She thought. Her blood is going to burst. Seohyun dragged Yonghwa by holding his hand, then the couple went to Ellie. The latter can see in her own eyes, they were holding hands. 

"Oppa~ This is Ellie, Ellie... this is---" 

"Let's go home now, Seohyun." Yonghwa dragged Seohyun away from Ellie by holding her hand

"Oppa?"

"Let's go." Seohyun's mouth become into a pout as the couple were about to go.

"Bye Ellie." Seohyun waved Ellie but the latter didn't waved her back. Ellie watched the couple for a moment with tears rolling down on her cheeks. The couple just got inside the car then she saw Yonghwa pulled the engine then drove. She even watched the car dissappeared in a horizon. Ellie fell on the ground with her overflowing tears.

Meanwhile:

"Oppa?"

"What?" 

"Are you mad? Something happen?"

"None."

"Why are you like that? What is that?"

Yonghwa stopped the car on the other side of the road then he sighed. "Seohyun?"

"Oppa?"

"Trust me okay. Only me."

"I always trust you, Oppa." Then Seohyun hugged her boyfriend tightly then kissed his cheek. Yonghwa just plastered a smile on his face. "Kajja. Let's go home now." Seohyun said without thinking about Ellie again.

"Sure." Yonghwa said as he pulled the engine again then drove away. I must protect you.
