CHAPTER 5

Hana.

I'm still sick yet what can I do? I've been promoted just two days ago and I can't fail Kris. I popped the tablet inside my mouth and drank up my water. Sigh. You can finish work early and go home to rest Hana, just a little more. I leaned back on my chair for a moment before pulling myself towards the table and began to work once again. Kris was right, my position now was a huge responsibility and almost every hour, files would come in my office for approval before it got sent to Kris. I have to double check every single piece of paper that passes through my desk because there was no room for error.

My office wasn't as big as Kris's, it's ¼ of his office, I think; but it's pretty comfortable to me, plus it was quiet too and it was like a safe little haven compared to working in an environment full of noise emitted by other employees and printers and other what not. A knock came on my door; I shot my head up as the door opens and a familiar face comes in. I quickly stood up from my seat and gave a bow “S-sir Tao, it's good to see you” I flash him a smile as he walks towards my desk. “Same as you, Ms. Head of the FD and um... drop the sir, Tao is fine” I nod my head at his request and tell him to take a seat.

“How are you, Hana?” I blink my eyes and put on a small smile “I'm doing fine, sir” No, actually... can I please have a day off. I think my body is going to break. Tao must have noticed how tensed I was because he had told me to relax since there was no reason for me to be so agitated. “Anyway, I wanted to congratulate you... I wasn't able to do so since I just got back from Japan” he explains and I give a curt nod before thanking him. “I was surprised when I heard, I thought Kyungsoo was joking when he had told me”

I'm having a hard time believing it too. I never thought it was possible to get a promotion within a week's time. Kris really is one of a kind and I owe him... big time.

“How is Kyungsoo-ssi?” I ask him.

“D.O. Is currently in Thailand for transactions, I think he'll be back in a week or two” I nod my head in understanding. So that's what big bosses do; sigh. Someday maybe I'll get to travel too. Tao's laugh cuts me off of my thoughts, I hadn't realized that I was smiling at the thoughts of traveling some day. I must've looked like a weirdo, smiling dreamily. Tsk.

“Sorry” I mumble the apology and hang my head low to hide the redness of my cheeks. Tao chuckles “You know Hana, I actually think you'll linger here longer... it's not everyday we see an employee of Wu Enterprise actually enjoying their job”

“Why not?” I blink my eyes in confusion. Who wouldn't enjoy working at Wu Enterprise? The pay is great, the bosses are god-like and there's Kris Wu! One of the most successful men walking on the face of the planet. Tao gave me a sigh and shifts a bit in his seat “Kris has an odd way of running things... it's good for the company but it's pretty hard for its employees” I'm still confused. “To put it simply, he has this bad habit of firing people” What? My right brow raised. However, our conversation was cut off when the phone on the side of my desk rang “Excuse me...” I smiled at Tao and picked up the phone

“Hello?”

“We have a meeting in an hour at JYP Enterprise, get the files ready and I'll see you downstairs” I pursed my lips together “Yes, Mr. Wu” then he hung up. I placed down the phone and turned to Tao who got up from his seat. “Sorry sir, Mr. Wu needs me to run by some things for a meeting” I apologize for cutting our conversation short. I actually feel sorry since I think that it's rare for people like Tao just actually sit down and talk. “No worries, Hana-ssi; maybe next time you won't reject Kai's cup of coffee and we could catch up” he smiles at me and I smile back then he exits the door.

Sigh. I lay my head on my table for a moment as I feel my head getting heavier due to my illness; I can't go home, I have to show Kris and myself that I deserve everything that's been given to me. I haul myself off of my desk and grabbed the files from the drawer that Kris wanted me to bring along for the meeting. You can do this, Hana. Believe in yourself!

Kris.

1:30 PM. I pushed myself off of my seat and grabbed the briefcase from my desk then headed for the door. I originally asked Suho to go to the meeting but since he was still in New York after I packaged him off last week to take care of some growing problems and the rest are in different parts of the world besides Tao who just recently got back and is busying himself with other company related matters, I have no choice but to show up at JYP Enterprise and seal some deals.

I don't know why these guys even keep bothering us to share the reports of progress when they obviously know how stable everything is going. Sigh. I hate waiting and for this particular matter, the elevator was testing my patience. It lingers on the 30th floor some time before the number starts moving again. Ding. The doors open and my brows narrowed when I saw who was aboard.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Wu” Kim. Ha. Na. I step inside the elevator and press the button for the ground floor. It was quiet and I preferred for it to stay that way until we reach JYP; there's not a need for meaningless conversation anyway. “Mr. Wu?” Aish. I glare at her from the mirror, she swallows hard and breaks open to speak “Can I ask why I have to tag along with you?”

Sigh. “You're my P.A., aren't you?” she gives me a nod “Does that answer your question?” she gives me another nod. The elevator stops and the doors open; I step out first and she quietly follows behind. I walk directly to the car and settle in the backseat while she takes the passenger seat. “JYP Enterprise...” I told the driver, he gave me a nod and started driving.

When we arrive at JYP, two representatives had greeted me at the doorstep; the CEO's son and President of JYP, Ok Taecyon and Vice President Jang Wooyoung. “Welcome to JYP Enterprise, Mr. Wu” Taecyon shook my hand followed by Wooyoung. Ugh, wipe those smiles off your faces. I don't intend on returning them. I only give a nod. Taecyon looks over my shoulder and I turn around, Hana gave them a bow and a polite greeting. “Girlfriend?” Wooyoung asks with a playful smile; I keep a firm face and answer him “P.A.”

His mouth goes 'oh' and Taecyon leads us to the conference room where the rest were waiting. As Taecyon and Wooyoung disappeared through the door, I felt a tug on my arm. I stop and turn around; Hana puts down the briefcases and grabs my tie then fixes it. What does she think she's doing? Once she was done, she gives me a bright smile and takes the briefcases from the floor and smiles at me “Neat and sharp, sir”

I blink my eyes. Did she just fix my tie?

Tss. I turn on my heel and disappear through the door as she follows. What a weirdo. I take my seat and the meeting starts as Hana just stands on the side.

“Stocks are steady, same as last month” I mumble. This was dragging on for a long time and the questions were all a repeat of last month. It's annoying. They run through the files that Hana has handed out and their faces all write the same reactions as last month and the month before that. Seriously, these people have got to start trusting my company.

“Actually Mr. Wu, we plan on pulling out our stocks next month” Taecyon said, closing the folder and leans back on his seat. I frown. “What?”

“Sorry Kris but seeing as there is not much progress, we think it's best if we take matters in our own hands” Nickhun explains. Keep your cool, Kris. “How the hell do you expect progress when you won't let Wu Enterprise run things in your investment as it should?” we have no fault at this; after they had signed investment contracts, they have specially requested that Wu Enterprise should just let their share fall to pieces naturally, that we shouldn't force puzzle pieces into wrong holes.

“Mr. Wu, it was nice doing business with you, believe us but please understand that we must also make crucial decisions... it's best for our company” Chansung says. My hands ball up into fists and I keep myself quiet for awhile.

“Excuse me” my eyes shot to the side and so does everyone else's. What the hell are you doing, Kim Hana? “I've reviewed your stock market percentages before you invested in Wu Enterprise and with all due respect, if Kr--- Mr. Wu had deemed to do so, he could have easily bought you out; you've invested for two years now, right?” Shut up. Now.

“Yes” I hear Taecyon answer the question and she continues “If you were to pull out your stocks now... there's a possibility of your company going bankrupt”

This may be hard to believe but I'm actually listening. Just what do you have under your sleeve, Kim Hana?

“And how can you say so?” Junho asks her, leaning over the table a bit in interest; Hana takes a quick glance at me before turning to look at Junho “Because Wu Enterprise is a multi-million dollar company and if you're not an ally then you are a threat; we might be forced to take actions against you and at the end of the day, it will all just be good business”

The whole room falls quiet. “What's your name, sweetheart?” Junho asks her with a playful smile on his face. Why do I suddenly have the urge to punch that smile off of his face? Hana flusters “K-Kim Hana, Head of the Finance Department at Wu Enterprise”

“I thought she was your PA?” Wooyoung looks at me in confusion “I'm a multi-tasker, sir” Hana smiles at him.

The whole room falls quiet for a moment. I took a quick glance at Hana and she gives me a quick apologetic bow of the head. I turn back to Taecyon “So, I believe you've given your word Mr. Ok” I stand up from my seat and start for the door.

“Mr. Wu” I stop my hand from turning the handle “We'd like to renew the contract by next month”

I turn to look at him over my shoulder. It's all good business. “Are you willing to give in to conditions?”

He gives me a hesitating look and I turn the handle; “Yes” I turn back around and pocket both of my hands “I'll let this one slip by Mr. Ok, if ever you decide to do something like this again, rest assured that it will all be good business” Hana opens the door and I get out first as she follows behind.

I press the button and wait for the elevator. “Mr. Wu...” Sigh. “I want to apologize”

Ding. I step inside the elevator and she follows, keeping her head hanging low. I take a look at my watch; Damn, that meeting went on for a good two hours. Tsk. “I'm really sorry, Mr. Wu” a heavy sigh escapes my lips at her apology

“Ms. Kim, I don't know why the hell you did that but I don't think it's something to apologize about” I see her lift her head through the reflection on the glass. “But I wouldn't be please if ever that happens again, learn to keep some things to yourself because I sure as hell can handle things on my own perfectly” I step out of the elevator and she follows like a lost puppy.

“Then why do you need a PA?” she asked and I stop in my tacks, she lightly bumps behind me and bows her head in apology. I turn around and glared down at her “Do you want to get fired, Ms. Kim?” she shook her head and I turn back around to keep walking.

We walk back towards the car. “Mr. Wu...” Damn it. “What?!”

I turn back around and meet her surprised look; slowly, it starts to fade and she gives me a smile. What the hell is with this girl?! “A girl called in, she told me to remind you about dinner with her” I close my eyes and pinch the bridge of my nose. Great, more annoying to deal with.

I keep my head low for a minute to think. “Ms. Kim...” she gives me a smile as I lift my head to look at her “How do you break up with a girl in the least painful way possible?”

Hana.

Kris stops the car infront of a restaurant. He has sent the driver away so he was the one driving; he turns his head to the side and looks at a girl sitting by the restaurant window alone. “Is that her?” I ask; he doesn't answer me and just reaches in the backseat for the flowers he had asked me to buy moments ago.

“Send her my apologies” my eyes widen as he hands me over the flowers “M-mwo?” I remained in my seat in confusion as to why he had handed me the flowers but it slowly registers to my mind. “Well? What are you waiting for?” I blink my eyes and look down at the flowers “Mr. Wu... what do you want me to do?”

He fishes out his phone and taps on it “Break up with her for me”

“WHAT?!” he snaps a deadly look at me and I whimper in my seat. “S-sir, I don't think I can do this; this deals with personal matters” I explain but he doesn't seem like he's listening “Ms. Kim, you're called a personal assistant for a reason”

“But... but...” He lets out an annoyed sigh “Go on before you lose your job” without a choice and quiet whine, I unbuckle my seat belts and get out of the car. I run a hand through my hair and walk inside the restaurant; Dear God, this is so nerve-wrecking. I haven't even once had a boyfriend and now I'm breaking up with someone's girlfriend for them! I walk towards the table of the female by the window.

“M-Ms. Lee?” she turns her head and looks at me with a smile on her face; she was pretty and she looked so... well, if she were an item, she's expensive. How can Kris break up with someone like her? “Yes?” even her voice is worth a couple of golds.

I hand her the bouquet of flowers and she looks at me in confusion “M-Mr. Wu sends his apologies and h-he said...” I trail off, biting my lip as my frightened nerves get the best of me “He said what?” the smile on her face disappears; I hang my head low “He said... he's b-breaking up with you” God, I can't even lift my face to look at her.

There was silence between us both. She pinches my chin lightly and lifts my face to look at her, she had a smile on her face.

“Tell him okay and can you give him something for me?” she asks sweetly; I swallow hard and slowly nod my head. Before I knew it, she harshly shoves the flowers back in my hands and slapped me. Hard. “Do it exactly as I did, okay sweetie?” she smiles at me once more and leaves. My lips quiver but I bit on the lower part to stop it. I quickly wipe away the tears brought about by the pain and realize everyone was looking at me. It's okay Hana... don't cry, you did this for your job and you did well. So... don't cry. I bow to everyone in apology for the inconvenience and walk out of the restaurant back to the car.

Kris was standing outside and he seemed surprised. I walk towards him and give him a smile “She said okay, sir”

He swallowed hard; I walked around the car to the passenger seat and settle myself inside as he also settles himself in the driver's seat. I turn to him and ask “Should I get rid of the flowers, sir?” Kris looks at me again blankly and turns back to the road as he starts the car. “Sir?” yet he still doesn't answer me.

Eventually the car stops infront of the apartment building where I live in. I gather my things in the back seat and give Kris a smile, the flowers still in my hands “I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Wu!”

I push the car door open “Ms. Kim”

“Yes sir?” he leans back on the seat “Did she give you something for me?”

I look down but not long, I looked at him again and I shook my head “No sir, I believe she just wanted me to tell you that she said okay... will that be all, Mr. Wu?”

He closes his eyes for a moment before nodding his head and I step out of the car. I lean down a bit and smile at him once again “Thanks for the ride sir; have a safe trip home”

I walk around the car and walked inside the building. “Ms. Kim!” I jump at the call “Oh sweet baby Jesus!” I breathe and turn to see the guard. I gave him a smile “Good evening Mr. Park”

“What happened to your face?” he asks, my eyes widen a bit and I put a hand to my cheek before wincing a little in pain. “Oh, um... funny story actually, a mosquito kissed me on the cheek and I ended up slapping myself hard” he raises a brow at me and tells me okay before wishing me good night.

Sigh. Geez, for someone so pretty, she must have been an athlete back in high school. I hope this doesn't leave a mark.
