HERMES - CHAPTER 9
HermesWelcome, new subscribers and readers! Thanks for reading/subscribing and upvoting my story. ^_^
Sorry for the short intro, I can't think right now because my cousin is playing the drums on the mezzanine right above me. >_<
Giselle found herself in a rut at the end the following week. She was about to go for lunch at the YG cafeteria at the basement when the building security called her about a delivery. She had forgotten that she addressed her equipment and luggage to be delivered to the YG building because she didn’t have a confirmed address at that time she had her stuff shipped out.
She was signing the delivery acknowledgment receipt in a daze as the delivery guys unloaded two heavy duty road case, a fire-engine red cello hard case, three battered guitar hard cases, and a big- Goyard custom trunk.
Just as the delivery truck was turning down the driveway from the parking lot onto the road, a white Lamborghini Aventador came thundering into the ground level parking lot. Giselle stood in front of her luggage, which had been dumped right outside the front door of the building, not knowing what to do.
I could probably carry the guitars and cello up the studio but I can’t haul in those road cases. And what about my trunk?! That won’t fit in my tiny Hyundae rental, Giselle ran her hand through her hair and sat on her Goyard trunk trying to come up with a solution. Just then, she heard a familiar voice speak behind her.
“Are you going on tour?” Jiyong asked as he eyed the enormous pile of luggage behind their pretty new producer. Giselle scrunched her nose at the joke.
“Ha! Ha! My shipment finally arrived! Yay for that!” Giselle said sarcastically as she turned around. “Now I don’t know how I’m going to bring them to my apartment,” Giselle said with a sigh.
“That’s my rental,” Giselle said pointing at a silver Hyundai Elantra parked in the farthest corner. She chose the spot because she knew her vehicle was an embarrassment compared to the luxury vehicles that were parked up front.
“Even if I leave most of my studio equipment here, there is no way my Goyard is going to fit in there,” she said shaking her head.
“Well, I’m sorry I can’t really help you. My car is smaller than that,” Jiyong said as he pressed a button on his car keys and Giselle saw the tail lights of the Aventador flash and heard the beeping sound which indicated that it was now safely locked.
“Nice ride,” Giselle said dryly, clearly not too impressed by the flashy vehicle behind Jiyong. The young man pouted, obviously not pleased at the underwhelming reception his prized vehicle received from the girl.
Just then, a heavily tinted Mercedes parked itself in front of Giselle and from its passenger seat out came the most gorgeous being that she had ever seen. She could have sworn he was moving in ing slow motion.
He was wearing a cream colored wool coat, a deep blue suit jacket, a white button-down shirt, black slim pants, stylish leather shoes, and he was toting a Goyard Steamer bag in classic black Goyardine color with brown leather ts, and gold hardware. There was a teddy bear keychain dangling from the closure straps. (Unexpected, but totally endearing.) His eyes were hidden behind a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses. Giselle could practically hear her soul swoon at the sight of the perfection that stood before her.
She suddenly cursed herself for coming to work in her gray wool coat, black jeans (In my defense, they are True Religion), a red/black striped sweater (it’s still Givenchy though from two seasons ago. This is practically vintage!) and her studded boots (her other pairs of shoes were still inside the trunk that just arrived). No make-up. Damn I feel like a troll, she thought to herself as she made a mental note to make an effort to dress up going to work starting tomorrow.
The guy merely looked at her for a second before speaking.
“Ji, who is she?” the guy said in his deep baritone voice. Yep, definitely heard my soul swoon that time, Giselle thought.
“Ah, Ellie, this is my band-mate, Choi Seung Hyun hyung also known as rapper TOP. Hyung, this is Giselle Walker, our new producer from New York,” Jiyon
