Juliane Shin stepped out of the room clad in the white shirt that barely covered her legs , her white smooth laps could be seen and it looked very tempting, she walked to the couch where he sat with his eyes fixated on his laptop. " thank you boss , I promise to watch and send you back the shirt when I get home " she said as she sat on the couch she also took her laptop and began working on the project. He paused after a while to ask a question but his eyes caught her exposed legs that was as white as the snow , her laptops was placed on it while her hands operated the keyboards, he gulped leisurely looking away ,he suddenly felt the room was suffocating , he loosened his tie a little but it was of no use he felt more suffocated, he cursed under his breath. " secretary Juliane , lower the temperature of the AC to 68 degree " he instructed because of his discomfort his Korean accent laced his English , he felt even more uncomfortable when her beautiful grey eyes came in contact with his. Juliane shin is a half breed british and Korean born and brought in souel,after she graduated she was able to land a job at one of the re known company's in souel as the secretary of the cold aloof CEO Lee dong-gyun.
'' Boss ,I have signed the contract I want to send it back to Wei Technology group , boss do you wish to go through it '' Juliane asked as she stood with a file in her hand.
The man referred to as Boss , was looking through his phone not sparing her a glance he uttered '' since you have read it you can submit it. ''
Juliane nodded bowed and was about to leave , but paused and asked '' Boss , it already midnight do you wish to work late or should I get the car ready. ''
The Boss seemed to also notice the time now , he looked at Juliane and nodded '' I think you should , I just got back from a trip I don't wish to work overnight. ''
'' yes Boss '' Juliane bowed and left, she walked through the empty hall that was always full in day , the normal workers had gone home as early as 6:30 pm while she the secretary was sticked with the Boss, until he wished to go home, even today they just got back from a business trip few hour ago , but here she is working on contracts instead of being home and squeezing in the comfort of her bed, Juliane yawned tiredly as she placed the file on the delivery packages.
Juliane sat beside her Boss at the back car while the Chaffuer drove, he is also one of the workers that is also forced to work over night , but his case was better he only drove and nothing more , but Juliane always took care of the Boss's affairs both personal and business they were her initial work , but at the end she was at least paid a decent amount of salary plus bonuses.
As the car drove pass a restaurant , Juliane's stomach growled in hunger , she suddenly remembered the only thing she and the Boss had eaten was the chips that was offered at the plane , she and her Boss where to busy that they forgot to eat and now she is hungry ,she also can't remember leaving any food at home , she sneeked a look at the Man that sat next to her , he was still busy with his phone , he didn't seem hungry , he had never looked hungry or even complained of hunger , she was always the one to remind him of food , and when he ate he barely ate alot.
'' Boss Lee should we drop by for food, we haven't eaten any thing since morning'' Juliane stated , trying to contain her yawn.
The Boss whose Name is Lee dong-gyun stopped pressing his phone for a seconds he looked at Juliane , then at the back of the chauffeur ,''Zheng , drive to Francis Restaurant '' , he then looked at Juliane and ordered , ''Make reservation '' with just few word he had his gaze back on his phone doing God knows a what.
Juliane immediately brought out her phone to make reservation at the restaurant , francis is currently the best hotel in Souel , it's known for it proper and neat services and the food are also something to talk about , the chef that cooks there were hand picked and are the best whole over , so the foods are the best, it also likely to know that Lee dong-gyun is the owner of the restaurant and had also had Juliane hand pick the chefs.
Immediately the waiters served food , Juliane was quick to dig in , knowing she hasn't eaten she became a lot more hungrier, she was eating a little fast but still maintained her table manners to avoid disgusting her boss.
'' secretary Juliane , it seems if you leave the food it might end up running away '' Lee dong-gyun said , he is a very strict man , the deepness that comes with his voice could scare every normal employee.
Juliane has been his secretary for seven years , and is very used to his cold voice, she didn't find it scary but it was demanding , so each time he used deep cold voice it meant he was serious, Juliane composed her self, as she cursed him in her heart , she began making use of the cutlery, but since she didn't want to her etiquette were gone she lazily cut on the food as she ate making loud noise that she knew disturbs Lee dong-gyun.
'' it seems you are not too hungry , Juliane if you don't which to eat then perhaps you should stop eating '' Lee dong-gyun stated as he gaze at her.
Juliane immediately flashed a fake apologetic smile , she knew he wasn't joking when he said that , he was capable of making her stand through the whole dinner like he had did in the past when she disobeyed, she composed her self immediately.
After eating they both remained sitted to let their meal digest , Lee dong-gyun had gone back to pressing phone while Juliane was savoring a boba tea.
'' Boss '' Juliane called softly looking at him carefully.
'' Hmm '' he replied not looking at her hus long fingers were typing on his phone's keypad.
'' Boss , I wish to take the day off tomorrow '' Juliane stated going straight to the point ,since Lee dong-gyun isn't a patient man and hated the play of words ,she had never risked it.
Lee dong-gyun's eyes left the phone and fixated on Juliane , '' any domestic reasons,''? He asked.
Juliane inhaled deeply, ''Boss for the past 1 month we have been on many business trips, I haven't had time for my self, my skin care routine,my fridge is empty I am short of beverages, my relationship life is going down , I haven't being attending the numerous blind dates that have been set for me.'' Juliane listed all the necessary things that she had called reasons to skip work. But Lee dong-gyun had also tabled more perfect remedy for her excuses
