2 The Bosswomans Assistan (1/2)

2 and a half hours before the incident

The clock strikes 6 am. That means Chang Wook is late. He jumps off the bed and hurries to take a shower.

”Aaahhh!” the water was freezing. The guy from upstairs must have used all the hot water again ”That freaking bastard. I'm gonna get pneumonia one of these days because of him” Chang Wook yells so the guy upstairs can hear him, even though he knows well that the guy isn't there. That's why he can yell with confidence.

After the shower he gets dressed in a black suit and only takes a banana as breakfast, he can't arrive after the bosswoman, if not he'll never hear the end of it and the promotion he's been wishing for, for so many years will go down the drain.

He goes to the private parking lot where his car is but with his luck, it doesn't turn on ”Come on! Really? You're going to do this to me today? Mother effing Christ!” he yells as he hits the steering wheel. He looks up and see the old lady from his same floor a few doors down. He composes himself and does the cross sign on his chest and looks up ”With all due respect, of course”

He gets out of the car. Now, he has to run. The bus just took off, so he has to pay extra for a freaking taxi ”This is just not my day, is it?” he says to himself, reaching out his hand for a taxi that was coming his way.

The taxi stops at Friends Café, a place near his workplace, which is also a place where his boss tells him to stop every morning for her coffee. He arrives inside and sees a huge line. He only has 10 minutes left!

”Chang Wook!” He looks at the girl with the ponytail, next to the cash register. She waves at him, placing two cups of coffee on the counter. The people on the line seem to protest but he doesn't have time to apologize.

”Two caramel macchiatos with soy milk and whipped cream” she said.

”You are a life saver” he told her. She looks down and smiles.

”Good luck with the boss” she said ”And this one is specifically yours” Chang Wook didn't understand what she meant by that, but he didn't have the time to ask. He looked at his watch and he had 7 minutes left.
