"Then, Miss Jung, do you want to work in my office? I will open the recruitment only for you."
"What? Mr. Jeon is not joking, right? Oh my god!" Mina never thought that her smooth talk would come in handy. She was grateful that she befriended Kibum for so long. At last, he had a use today.
"Why would I be joking? Secretary Kim was not joking when he said that he wants to give you his position," Junho said.
"Yes! Yes! Kibum said that to me few times, just to make sure!" Mina added more fuel to the fire. Kibum didn't respond to anything she said. Because he thought Mr. Jeon must have hated him now.
'Why did you say that?! Kim Kibum, you idiot!'
'Let me take control. I will kill this bitch and have the rest of the date for myself!'
'Aaargh! Ruined! You ruin the chance of having a real relationship with Mr. Jeon!'
Taewoo was screaming at him in his head. But Kibum didn't respond to him either. His heart was pained when Mina kept on pulling him down in front of Mr. Jeon.
"Kibum also said to me that Mr. Jeon is an amazing man, but he feels underqualified and sometimes can be too lazy to work! That's why he wants me to take over instead!" Mina kept pinching Kibum's hand behind the desk to force him to keep saying yes.
"Really? I didn't know that. I picked Secretary Kim because he is the only one capable of doing the job. It seems there is an error in my judgment," Junho smiled and asked Kibum, "Secretary Kim, will you able to find another work after you got fired out of my company?"
"…"
"Yes, yes! Kibum will be able to find another work after he left Mr. Jeon's company. He is intelligent, just a bit dull, ahahaha," Mina stepped on Kibum's shoes with her heels, demanding him to keep saying yes until Mr. Jeon was convinced.
"… yes…" Kibum got a headache right after. It seemed that the emotional distress would soon take over, and Taewoo would replace him.
"Kibum also said that he is too dull and maybe, just maybe, a bit too ugly to be a secretary. Mr. Jeon is a handsome man. Of course, you need a beautiful lady as a secretary, right?"
"Oh? Secretary Kim thinks that he is not good looking enough to be my secretary? That is indeed a baffling statement," Junho sounded angry as if he felt humiliated himself.
[Pupa: Why did you let Mina come and disturb your date with Kibum? Don't you see that Kibum is a weak, insecure man who wouldn't say no to his 'friend'?]
[I want him to see what kind of girl he has been crushing on for years. The best way to tackle long term crush is to show Mina's true nature. With that, Kibum would realize how stupid he had been for so long.]
Pupa circled around Mina and Kibum, it saw Mina pinching Kibum's hand and stepped on his shoes with her heel under the table.
[Pupa: This girl is suppressing and forcing Kibum to follow her lead.]
[Kibum needs to see that Mina is not the dream girl in his imagination. If she is a good woman, she won't feed Kibum a hope of a romantic relationship, only to reject him repeatedly. She is playing with his heart to feed her ego.]
[And I hate this kind of person, whether it's a man or woman.]
'She called you ugly! Ugly! What kind of good woman called her friend ugly only to kick him away from his job?! Kim Kibum, open your eyes!'
'Just let me take over! I will rip this bitch's mouth!'
Junho glanced at the man who was still standing beside them. This man was supposed to be Mina's date. His face was blank, "Miss Jung, this man is your date, right? Pardon me, but I do not accept a secretary who is in relationship with a man outside. I don't want your love life to disturb my busy days."
Mina glanced at her boyfriend and shook her head, "No, no! This is just a friend of mine. Mr. Jeon is not happy if I have a male friend? A—Ah… I don't know that Mr. Jeon is very possessive."
Mina blushed, thinking that Mr. Jeon had set his eyes on her.
"What the fuck?! What did you say? I'm your boyfriend!" the man finally reacted. He pulled Mina's hand.
Mina glared at her boyfriend. She slapped her boyfriend's hand and denied, "What are you saying? We are just friends! Just because we went on a date five times doesn't make you my boyfriend!"
"You bitc-!" the man raised his hand, but Mina immediately hid behind Kibum, who was still sitting like a stone.
"Kibum, this guy wants to hit me!"
"You said this guy is just a clown! Now you hide behind him?!" the man got angrier with mina. But with Mr. Jeon and many bodyguards watching him, he couldn't do much.
'She still has the audacity to use you as a shield! My god, is she even human?! Brother, let me take control! Argghh, I can't handle this useless crap anymore!'
Junho chuckled and interrupted this drama between them, "I don't want anything noncivilized in my free time. If you want to fight, please do it outside."
Junho looked at Mina and showed his charming smile, "If Miss Jung wants to apply in my office, please come on Sunday. The door is wide open for you."
"M—Mr. Jeon, does this mean I got accepted as new secretary?!" Mina was ecstatic. She really hit it big by befriending Kibum.
"Yes, I accept you. But not as the new secretary," Junho's charming smile vanished instantly, replaced with a cold glare that made everyone around petrified in fear, "There is an opening for security guard. Knowing how ruthless you can be with your friend, I suppose you can vent that maliciousness to beat up some criminals."
Mina got petrified immediately. But Kibum finally raised his head. He couldn't believe what he just heard.
Junho glanced at Mina's hand on Kibum's shoulder, his gaze got even more deadly, "Get your hands off my boyfriend, you devious witch."
