9 Ask me nicely (1/2)

”Ha Eun!” he said happily.

”Mr. Oh” Ha Eun answered ”What are you doing here?”

”I followed you of course” he said it as if that wasn't creepy at all ”Are you really getting married to your secretary?” the Chairman asked Ha Eun. For some reason Chang Wook felt insulted. What was so wrong about someone marrying their secretary?

”Yes, its true” she said.

”Then why…why didn't you tell me or anyone at work. I know what you said at the board meeting but, is that all there is to it?” The Chairman asked. At that moment Chang Wook got an idea. An extremely crazy yet wonderful idea.

”It was my decision not to tell anyone” Chang Wook said. The Chairman looked at him surprised. Ha Eun on the other hand wondered what he was planning.

”I thought it would be inappropriate and worried about what people might think of us, especially of Ha Eun, after they found out about my big promotion that was coming up” Chang Wook look directly at Ha Eun.

She squinted her eyes and repeated ”Promotion”

”To Editor” Chang Wook added.

”Editor” she repeated, nodding at him.

The Chairman understood where he was coming from and was grateful that he worried about his Ha Eun's reputation. Even though Chang Wook isn't from an influential family. The Chairman thought that as long as his Ha Eun was happy, so was he.

Before the Chairman left, he signed one of the documents for them, just like the lawyer wanted and he went on his way.

”Let's talk more later Mr. Kim. I want to get to know the man my Ha Eun is in love with” the chairman looked so happy it almost made Ha Eun feel bad, but it was an almost. She took out her phone and was on her way back to the car when she noticed Chang Wook wasn't next to her.

She turned around and walked back towards him. He was glaring at her which she found quite adorable.

”That whole promotion to Editor thing was incredible. He ate all of that up. I almost fell for it too” she said ”Now come on. We still have a lot of work to do” she turned back around but Chang Wook called out her name.

”Ha Eun” he yelled. She turned around surprised. Did he not know who he was talking to?

”I was serious” he said. She looked at him and smiled.

”No. Editor. I don't think so” she chuckled.

”Then deal's off and you won't have a job. It was a pleasure working with you Ha Eun” Chang Wook turned to walk in the other direction but stopped when he heard what she yelled.
