haven't figured out yet but there's something about Leo that
is bugging me. He did not bring up any issue and in fact, he has been
avoiding me. Something must going on behind my back: I have to find
out.
"Good evening, Sir. May I help you?."
"Can you show me the business centre?" Have to use the phone elsewhere
to avoid Leo from eavesdropping.
"Sorry Sir, our operating hours is from 7am to 7pm. Is this urgent?"
The front desk staff enquired.
"It is urgent. Can I speak to your Manager?"
Manager... General Manager Han Tai Jun... Just the man I want
to see.
Walking close to him is you: so you two are together... He nodded
first, then you followed.
Good timing: I need to use the Business Centre. It is urgent.
"Can I use the Business Centre now? I have something urgent..".
But... the Business Centre is closed for the day, you said.... it
is the but again...
GM Han is making more sense here: The centre has been closed for the
day but you can always open it for me. After giving you instructions,
he walked off...
"Excuse me...", you smiled politely and turned to the front desk
staff, "Yong Woo: could you contact security to meet me at the Business
Centre?"
You turned, "This way please..." I looked at you... you paused...
I could hear the Sir being swallowed... I followed.
I am your guest. It is your shift. So it is your duty to initiate the
small talks... Have you been busy today?... Have you have dinner
yet? ... What about supper?...
I smiled but did not reply... as they are not necessary...
but it is nice to have you leading me through the corridor.
It is almost 11pm now. What time did you start your shift? I enquired.
I started at 8am this morning, you replied. 8am... that's almost
15 hours ago, and you are still here?
Security is already standing at the door, waiting. He opened the door,
and you flipped the light switch on, offered to help me with photocopying...
that's not necessary... I need to use the phone first.
8am... that's almost 15 hours ago, and you are still here: Do
you always work so hard? You tried to explain that it is not normal
but I am still not happy about this. You have been on almost two shifts
today. It is not good to work so hard after you get married...
It is not good to work so hard after you get married... Frank
Shin: what did you just say?
Bryan Collins here... a timely save by the voice from the
other side...
Hi, Bryan... Did you get my mail? The one I ask Leo to send on my
behalf 6 hours ago?... Yes, to inform you to put everything on hold?
No, I did not get anything. In fact, I called Leo earlier and told
him that Eric is already in Seoul...
What? Eric is already here??? Damn it!!! What the hell is Leo doing:
who is your boss now???
...
How do I make a phone-call to the room?
Please dial 8, followed by the room number...
...
Ring... Boss, you only have to call for her, she'll drop everything
and come running to you...
Ring... If you cannot concentrate on work now... it's time
for you to leave this corporate jungle...
Ring... Hello, this is Leo.
Leo Park: what do you think you are doing?
Not that
I don't want to tell you that Eric is coming... Eric wants to
see you at 8am tomorrow morning...
Leo Park: I don't want to hear your reason. Didn't you hear
what I said??? I told you to put everything on hold for one more week.
Do you have a hearing problem or a mental block: one more week, I said...
Eric said... Eric, Eric, ERIC! Who is your boss now: Eric Dyson
or Frank Shin?
But ... Everyone is giving me the BUT... No more BUT! Stop
wasting my time, you idiot: I want to see all the documents on my desk
by 7am. Sharp.
...
...
Eric is already here...
Meeting at 8am... too late now...
Need to find other ways to slow down the acquisition...
...
...
You are standing at the same spot when I look up, seemed rooted: looking
like an injured rabbit, cornered... waiting for the ruthless hunter
for the final kill.
I must have scared you... sorry...
Are you always like this when you are working? You question
was barely audible...
I did tell you that I am a hunter, didn't I? This is my instinct...
Don't want you to see this side of me... I stood, walked towards
the photocopier, with my back facing you...
Eric... meeting... Yes: could you arrange a meeting room for me at 8am,
with some simple breakfast?
Of course... If not ... I am afraid you'll scold me...
You are afraid that I will scold you? I stopped shuffling the
paper to look at you. You are smiling and your smile is always so comforting...
Are you really afraid that I will scold you... or are you just trying
to cool me down from all these nonsense? I will never scold you or hurt
you... as we are in different world and you, Xu Zhen Yin, is never
on my list of prey ...
