Twas a busy workday.

  You know what they say about Tuesday being the second Monday? Well yeah, she has so much stuff to do in the office.      She went out to the cafe just across their office. The place, though tiny, seems like the perfect place right now for her to relax.    There seems to be too many patrons today so she chose a seat near the glass windows, far from everyone.    Yes. She needs some solidarity. A breather.    She's still getting rounds to the constant bustling of New York city.          Aaahhh. Coffee. Her ultimate best buddy.    She motioned for the steward and ordered for a ristretto. She never tried it before, sounds yummy though. Anything with coffee tastes heaven to her.    "Good choice, anything else?" The blonde guy winked at her.    "Nah, I'd just call you later if I get hungry. Thanks tho." She smiled. The guy walks away and she grimaced.    'Flirt.'       A thousand words later and she's feeling rather excited being halfway done with the article due tomorrow. She was then interrupted by the steward and that didn't sit good on her.    "Erm, yes?" She half-snarled at the guy. She hates being interrupted.    "Oops sorry. Just that, there's this friend of yours who asked me to give you this. Here, your chai latte." He laid down the cup on her table.    She looked at it, skeptical. And quite taken aback.    "My..my friend??" Who?    She hasn't made any friends here yet. She's not good at interacting with people. It drives her nuts and she sure drives people nuts too.    "Yeah but he didn't tell me his name, my bad. He just left." He smiled hesitantly.    She darted her eyes towards the cafe entrance and onto the streets.    Hmn.    "I can't take that. I don't know who HE is but I'm pretty certain that guy couldn't be my friend." She gestured for the cup to be taken away.   "Must be some guy who saw you and was enthralled with your beauty. I can't blame him though." He teasingly remarks.    Pft. Hardly.    Hold on a second.   "Wait, you said it's a chai latte right?" She asks him.    Was it coincidence? How did that guy even knew her favorite?    "Yes. He specifically told me its what you'd like."    Now that's creepy.    Could it be someone from the office?    "If you don't have any other questions, i gotta go back to  my station."    "Hmn, yeah thanks. Just, um, leave the chai latte here. You sure he's not meaning to poison or drug me?" She mumbled, smiling at him.    "Haha. No missy. Drink up. He's too decent and goodlooking to be a psycho or a druggie. If i knew better I'd day he's some business tycoon. You got yourself a hottie." He laughs and walks away.   Alright then.              There was a steady buzzing and whispering in the foyer of their office building. People look squirmish and she frowns as she heads back to their office floor which is on the 18th floor.    'What's up with them?'    "...heard he's going to be in the meeting today.."   "..he's never been in here, what could be the reason?"   He? Who?    Who is this HE they're all fussing about???         The hustle carries on up to their office and Dara is itching with curiosity. *sarcasm, guys blech*   She has been gone for only an hour, right? And yet its as though there's an apocalypse coming their way that she's not aware of.    'Jeeshes these people.'       Nevertheless, she went back to her tiny makeshift room at the end of the hall and starts proofreading her article due.    She must have been too engrossed because she seemed deaf to the sudden squeals of the women in their office. Well it could be blamed on her glass door that she closed and the music with the earphones she plugged on, making sure she won't get distracted by the bustling and nonsense gossiping.   She looked up after a few heartbeats and they all gaze at her like she just murdered someone.    'Whoa. What now??' She snatched the earphones off and strides out.    "Hey guys, what's wrong? What did I do this time? Did I, by any chance, killed someone?" She asks Leehi in a crass tone, the intern, who has still hanging open.    "The boss was..was here! Looking at you...fo-for like forever! And you didn't even seem to notice!" Kimberly, their photographer, answered her in a shriek.    "Oh Hye Sun? Well why are you stuttering? And did she say she needed something? She could've knocked, you know, or went straight inside."    Seriously.    Have they gone mad? Is that even possible at this rate of insanity they already have?   'God, I'm gonna go dweepy.'   "Oh no, Ms. Dara. We meant, THE REAL BOSS. The one who owns the companies in this building. The Kwon industries." LeeHi finally found her voice.    "Really? Who is he?"    There was a collective gasp.    "You don't know him? Jeesh. That's a first." Hye Sun laughs, walking towards her. She wraps her hands around Dara and they walk back inside her office.    This girl. Obviously poking fun at her.    Aigoo.   She has known Hye Sun quite well now sinc
