Bitter Coffee
Description
Oh Sehun believes that life isn't fair. Born into a wealthy, successful family and an early owner of one of the family's best businesses at the young age of twenty three, Sehun has enjoyed a life of luxury. He believes he is blessed. He has never needed to care about other people. All he knows is how to be successful in almost everything.
Bae Joohyun (who goes by Irene) also believes life isn't fair. Born into a poor family, a 'single' mother, no father and with a terrible younger brother, life has been hard. She has worked so very hard and has never seemed to reap any rewards. She's not a fan of life but she's still going with it. One thing she is very insecure about is being twenty-six and still being single...
...It's only natural that the two end up forming a mutually favourable partnership...
...for all the wrong reasons...
Foreword
"You're fired," he said.
"Wha-- That's not fair? Y-you can't fire me! I just started here," she found herself screaming at him.
"Life isn't fair, Lady. But don't you make a fuss-- you'll survive. Now leave," he brushed her away with his hand, unfazed by her reaction.
"Just give me a chance! One more chance. Just one," she yelled at his face with a strange desperation, leaning forward on the edge of his ebony desk.
Oh Sehun looked up at the woman with a smirk on his face. She was pretty, sure, but she brought in the wrong coffee. And he wasn't about to let that slide. She had proved herself to be a recipe for disaster and he wanted all incompetence out of his workplace.
"People like you don't get chances. That's why I'm younger than you and far more successful than you'll ever dream to be," he grinned, standing up from his seat.
She followed him with her sight and he reached the door and pulled it further open for her. She smelled his strong spiced apple, musky scented aftershave and immediately began resenting it despite its attraction. She did think, for a moment, that he was about to say something kind.
But he grabbed her arm and tossed her out. With a little laugh, he closed the glass door behind him, returning to his desk. She stood there, dumbfounded, and finally walked away when he waved at her with the strongest air of condescension she had ever experienced.
All this because she can't make coffee...
