Ch. 4
Saints"Ms. Choi." I heard coming from the speaker on the phone.
I looked away from the computer that I was entering Mr. Parks schedule for the week, I pressed the button. "Yes sir?" I asked.
"Come in here for a minute will you?" He asked.
"Yes sir." I repeated, shut the computer monitor off and stood up to go into his office. I knocked on the closed door.
"Come in." I opened the door and walked inside, letting the door close quietly behind me. "Sit down." He pointed at the seat in front of his desk.
I sat down. "Am I being fired?" I couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Park laughed, immediately covering it by clearing his throat. "No no. You are a great assistant. I don't know where I'd be with
out your organization skills." He wasn't such a bad looking guy when he laughed, he couldn't be more than 32 or 33, and still unmarried, he didn't even have a girlfriend, trust me. I scheduled his life down to the minute sometimes, I'd know if he was seeing someone.
I felt my cheeks flush. He rarely complimented people, let alone me. Something was up. "That's a relief. But what did you need sir?" I asked.
"I'm having a problem.. I seem to be stuck on what to do next." He started, folding his hands together.
I nodded like I understood, there have been many times where Mr. Park asked me to come into his office so he could talk his way through something. "What can I do to help?" I asked. "Would you like me to order you some lunch?"
"If you're hungry you can go ahead and order us something. Just make sure there is something sweet." He leaned forward to pull his wallet from his back pocket, he tossed his black card onto the table in front of me.
"I'll make sure to get your favorites." I replied, picking his card up as I stood from the chair.
"Before you go though, it's going to be a pretty long night and you have a son, correct?" He asked.
I paused and sat back down. "Yes sir. He's five." I answered.
He nodded. "Well, be sure to order something for him as well, something that will taste good by the time he gets off school. I'll have someone take you to pick him up and bring the both of you back here." He explained.
