(The next morning)
6:00 am my alarm goes off and I easily rise while stretching my arms. Usually, I won't get up until the 3rd try but last night was rough. I couldn't help thinking about all that happened. Finding out our CEO is that jerk, losing my job, and above all, going to his house. It was all a mess.
If I told anyone else about this, they'd probably think I was up to something which is why I've made it a point to avoid disclosing anything. Either way, I'm sure Jimin wouldn't want anyone to know about it.
I pull out my phone from under my pillow where it usually is and unlock it.
No text messages from my boss or any of my ex-colleagues but there is one number that's oddly unfamiliar to me.
You have a new message from 647-234-889090 (fake number please do not try calling).
I open up the chat and immediately I'm reminded of what today marked:
The first day I work for Park Jimin.
Yesterday after leaving his house, Jimin said he'll text me for the interview location. Not sure why I have to go through an interview if he's giving me the job anyway but whatever. I didn't expect him to have that much of a brain cell anyway.
After saving his name as the annoying jerk, I open up the chat.
The annoying jerk: are you up yet? Here's the location: 576 Gangnam Blv. Don't be late!
Min Jung: keep your pants on, I'm up. Why is the location so far?
The annoying jerk: do you need a ride? I'll send a driver.
I roll my eyes at this. Why is he acting like such a gentleman now? Why didn't he act like this when we first met? There's no doubt in my mind that he really is a jerk.
Min Jung: no it's okay, I'll manage.
The annoying jerk: fine.
I place my phone on my nightstand and get up to find my clothes. Something professional but not intimidating is what I'm going for so I pick out a black pencil skirt matched with a white collard T and a black blazer. My heals are 3 inches and my bag is a leather side bag. No over the top accessories, only a ring my mom gave me for my birthday.
After about 2 hours I check the time. 9:12 am.
Not bad, but I probably shouldn't delay any longer. The place is far and I have to be there by 10 am.
I hop into my car and text in the location on my GPS. By the looks of it, I might just make it by 9:49 am. I bet he's just trying to make my life difficult, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he was.
As soon as I pulled up into a parking lot I noticed that there were hardly any people. It was a small little cafe, quite charming actually.
Once I entered I looked around trying to locate the annoying jerk and sure enough, found him sitting near the back bedside the windows.
"Hello Mr park", I said bowing my head slightly.
He stood and bowed in response while motioning me to take a seat.
"Did you have any trouble finding this place?", he asked smiling mischievously
I faked a smile back.
"No it was actually nice, I enjoyed it very much"
He smirked and looked away to hide his laughter.
"Shall I order something for us?", he asks signalling the waiter.
"I've never been here before", I stated while taking Look over the menu.
"I would recommend the Sunday special", he says.
I raised an eyebrow suspiciously.
"Is it some kind of disgusting drink you're trying to make me drink?"
"I would never do something so childish", he states firmly, though I could hear a hint of humour in his tone.
"And yet you'll cause a huge fuss in the middle of the road for a coat?", I asked remembering every detail of that day.
"That coat cost me-"
"Would you like to order sir?", the waiter interrupts.
Jimin rolls his eyes in annoyance but orders anyway
"Anyways, that coat was des-"
"Can we get on with the interview?", I interrupted getting far too impatient with his shit talk.
I watched as he forced a smile through gritted teeth.
"Fine", he says and pulls out a blue folder.
"This is the contract. You'll have to abide by all the rules and regulations without question. Perform efficiently and productively throughout the contracting period, and remember to always report to me before you leave", he summarizes.
"Okay fine, but you still haven't told me what my primary duty is", I say in annoyance.
He smiles playfully and leans in his chair.
"Take a look inside and tell me if you want to change anything"
I sigh heavily and flip open the folder to the first page:
Contract form position: Assistant gofer
Duration of work hours: 5 months
Employer: Park Jimin
