Chapter 3: The New Boss

Jaeun was muttering a series of curses under her breath as she stepped out of the police station. How could this happen to her? How dare they accuse her of jaywalking?

The Police Station is not Kwon Jaeun’s style. Meh.

“Aish. So much for the first day of work.” She heard Kim Myungsoo mutter behind her. She glanced at him and glared.

Too much talk for someone who almost killed her, right?

He doesn’t have the right to talk like that! He almost killed Jaeun.

Jaeun looked away and shook her head as she walked on, leaving this reckless driver behind. She better not see his face ever again. Or all hell will break loose.

She walked fast to grab a cab and hurry to the office because she just remembered that today is the day that the new boss, new supervisor, would come to work.

She shut her eyes in utter annoyance. If the new boss reprimands her, there’s no one to blame but that Kim Myungsoo, who led her to the police station early in the morning. No one else but him.

But she couldn’t reason out to the new boss, right? Not when her reason is because she was caught jaywalking and reported to the police station. So not good for an outstanding employee-slash-team manager’s reputation, right?

Kwon Jaeun was the workaholic one. She’s just been 2 years in the company and she’s already promoted to the manager position. Who gets promoted that easily especially when there are a lot of senior workers with you in the office?

Only the legendary Kwon Jaeun.

Since she applied in the company for her internship in her last year in college, she has been one of the best workers in here. She works diligently. And she surely puts her heart to everything she does. What can we say? Kwon Jaeun loves her job.

“You’re late, Team Manager!” Jungkook beamed at her as she entered the office.

Jaeun smiled at him and walked straight to her desk beside Yoonmi, the assistant manager.

“You’re an hour late, Jaeun. Where have you been?” Yoonmi asked as she eyed Jaeun who’s about to sit. Yoonmi is one of Jaeun’s closest persons. Maybe because she’s seated beside Jaeun that she became close to her.

Jaeun sighed as she sat and shut her eyes, trying to calm herself still. What would Yoonmi tell her when she tells her that she was caught jaywalking and even dragged to the police station because of that offense?

Meh. She’s not going to tell. Not now with all the employees quietly doing their jobs.

“I slept in.” Jaeun lied.

Yoonmi chuckled. “You better cut talking to him till late night, Jae.” She teased. She knew about Jaeun and Jin because she was one of the employees when Jaeun was still an intern and she saw how Jin babied Jaeun. He always dropped her by in the morning and picked her up when her shift’s done.

What a lovely couple, right?

Yes. They were. Too bad, Jin has to go abroad to study. He didn’t want to but Jaeun told him to push through because it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Jaeun smiled and just shook her head. Then she leaned closer to Yoonmi. “Oh, by the way, did the supervisor come by? What’s Mr. Song’s replacement like?” She asked.

Mr. Song is the previous Supervisor but he retired due to old age. He was the best of all the supervisors that worked here. He was awarded as one of the most outstanding employees of all time. He really was. He cared for the employees the most. Really. He was the best. Simply the best.

Yoonmi shook her head as she looked at Jaeun. “No. I bet the new supervisor is talking to the head of the company. You know, for briefing.” She replied.

Jaeun nodded and sighed in relief. At least the supervisor didn’t arrive first that her. Or else, she’s dead. Really dead.

“You know, I heard people saying that the new supervisor is actually our age.” Yoonmi whispered.

Jaeun looked at her with wide eyes. “What?” She hissed back.

Yoonmi nodded. “He was accelerated three times and took his Master’s Degree right after college and worked on different popular companies.” She told her. “And that’s not all,” she beamed with sparkles in her eyes. “They said he’s the epitome of all visuals. Perfect face. Perfect Bachelor. Perfect boyfriend material.” She finished with a dreamy intonation.

Jaeun looked at Yoonmi in disgust. How could this girl speak like this? She hadn’t even seen the new boss! She looks like a fangirl who is about to meet her idol. Really childish.

Jaeun just shook her head at her assistant’s remarks.

What perfect boyfrien
