I let out a comfortable hum as I stepped out of my small bathroom, a towel wrapped around me, whilst I worked on drying my hair. Looking out the whole window wall in front of me, my eyes was immediately stopped abruptly by the darkness that came from the outside.

"Miss Jung," Sunghoon loudly stated just barging into my room.

I immediately froze as I held a part of my hair between my hands, that was wrapped in the towel. He visibly froze in place as well as he just widened his eyes at me. It had been a whole three days since he had tried to talk to me about anything that wasn't work related. I kept the promise that I would accompany him when he was eating, but we never talked. Not since that day in the greenhouse.

"Yah! Get out!" I exclaimed at him, finally gripping to my senses. At least a towel was wrapped around my body, but that was also pretty much it.

He quickly shook his head himself and immediately returned to having a hard and cold exterior. The one I was used to since the beginning, except for the few times he had let it slip up.

"I'm offering you a side job," he calmly spoke.

"Could it wait till tomorrow? I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm practically naked right here," I pointed out to him, and he just let out a hum.

"My secretary is currently on leave. I'm gonna need for you to be my secretary for the next few days," he stated, "you'll be coming with me to work. You'll take my calls and if you find them important you redirect them to me. You'll go get my lunch, make me tea, follow me to my meetings and take my notes. Got it?"

"O-okay... can you leave now?" I questioned him, making him eye me up and down.

"Wear the clothes I provided you with. Your lousy choice for work clothes won't do at my office," he stated, making me arch a brow at him.

"Are you done soon?" I questioned, "first you invade my private place, refuse to leave no matter how many times I express being uncomfortable, and now you're insulting me."

"This isn't your private place. I own this room along with the rest in the house... that is unless you want to begin paying rent to me," he stated, "it'll have you working here for eigth months... as far as I've calculated."

"Even after you doubled my salary?" I snickered at him in disbelief.

"Oh babydoll, that double in salary disappeared the day you chose the hospital over me," he shrugged with a bitter look on his face.

"If you want me out of here so badly, why are you then doing everything in your power to get me to stay?" I hissed at him, "if I didn't know better it would almost seem like you were caring for me."

"Actually... Miss Jung," he started with a sly look on his face, "your job is to look out for me and take care of me, both medically and physically, to the extend that you're capable of," he pointed out before walking over and leaning down beside my ear, "and that would allow me to remove this towel this instant and do whatever I'd like to you," he whispered making me let out a small gasp.

"That's illegal," I stated to him and he casually pulled back as he simply shrugged.

"Next time you sign a contract read the part with small," he stated, "my mother is a genious in trying to find a wife for me, so I know for a fact that I'm allowed to do whatever with you."

"Except for firing me, apparently," I muttered.

"Sorry, was that you asking for me to remove the towel?" he questioned and grabbed the top edge of my towel with two fingers.

"Alright, it's out!" I exclaimed at him and began pushing him towards my door, "get out of my room! Not only are you an absolute jerk! You're indesicive! You're bipolar! You're a pevert! You're a cold secluded vile human being! Over all, just fuck you!" I exclaimed and smacked my door in his face as I had managed to push him out.

"Still waiting for that day babydoll," he cooed out at my door before I could hear his footsteps begin disappearing down the hallway.

"I swear I'm so close to murdering him," I muttered to myself, "he changes moods just as quick as... as... he definitely does it fast! One day he is all kind and nice, the next he wants to apparently fuck me, the third he absolutely hates me."

I stood still for a while a thought crossing my mind and lingering for a while. It wasn't the worst, but the same time... it wasn't the best.

"No. Not a chance. I can't find a new job with the time I have," I shook my head to myself, "quit thinking of it Sieun. You have this job. Once dad's medical bills is paid you can resign, who knows... maybe start university... what am I even saying? I would never be able to afford university... and now I'm going insane... absolutely insane. I'm speaking with myself, again... God, this is what you do to me Park Sunghoon."

I let out a sigh and dragged my hands over my face before brushing them back against my hair, to pull it out of my face.

"I'm fine... just fine," I sighed, "from now on. I'm just gonna stay silent, do my job. No more snarky comments, no more letting him come too close to me. No more being Jung Sieun. Now just being miss Jung, doing her job. Yeah, doing her job. Professionally."
