Chapter one
Why you?
"Ji Hyo.. The president wants to see you," said the secretary. I started to feel nervous, " why does he want to see me? What did I do wrong?" I thought. My feet started to feel heavier, my heart was felt like it was going to explode as I went closer to his office. My sweaty hands held and twisted to knob of his door.
There he was sitting on his chair, staring straight into my eyes. I tried to avoid his gaze as much as I could. "Come here and take a seat," he commanded. I quickly did what he told me to do. "Do you know why I brought you here?" he asked.
"No, sir," I said
"I'll tell you why you're here. You have to come with me to a party and pretend to be my girlfriend," he said.
"Hold on a second.. Why me? There are prettier female employees here. Besides I don't want to go," she told him.
"I pick you to go with me because hardly anyone knows you. Also you're the only one who hasn't fallen for me, and that's the first time that ever happened. What do you want? Money?" he asked.
"Do you think that you giving money to persuade people works?! Well it doesn't for me. I don't need your stupid money. Goodbye!" I told him as I got up and got out of his office without looking back.
"Aishhhh! I'm soo dead! I'm sure that I'm going to get fired now.." I thought, " he made me so angry though. I can't believe that he thought by giving me money would make me agree go with him to a party." I suddenly felt my phone vibrate, I was certain that it was Sir Kim Jong Kook, telling me that I'm fired. But it wasn't, I felt relieved that it was just Jin Hyuk. " Jin Hyuk, why did you call?" I asked him
"Ji Hyo come to the hospital right now!" he shouted, "I'll text you the address." I was very confused why he wanted me to go to the hospital.. But I did what he said and went to the hospital.
When I got there, I saw Jin Hyuk sitting on a chair with his hands covering his face. "Jin Hyuk! Why did you tell me to come here?" I asked him.
"It's your dad, he needs a heart surgery," he said, "but we need 109523357.50 won for the surgery to happen." My mind went blank when he said that my father was in critical condition.. "Why does he need to have heart surgery? Where will I get the money to pay for his operation?" I thought.
"Jin Hyuk wait here and update me on my dad," I told him. I ran as fast as I could to my car and drove really fast back to my work. I ran again, until I reached Sir Kim Jong Kook's office.
