The Bad Boy

Chapter 16

I ran from the taxi stand to the resturant in my heels.
Shit how could i get the time mixed up?!
I was feeling so sorry that he waited for long.
"Sorry.. Oppa.. i.." I was panting so badly, trying to catch my breath in between.
"It's ok, i was reminiscing the time i waited for you last time. Let's go," he pulled me in.
Once the menu was placed, he ordered straight away, including mine.
"Thank you," he smiled while passing the menus back to the waiter.
"Wow not bad, all the food you ordered.."
"Were all your favourites." He finished the sentence with a smile, which made me chuckled too.
"So, where are you working at now?"
He asked after taking a sip of water.
"Head of marketing department.. Wow! I'm impressed!" He stared at the namecard i passed him.
"Not as glamrious as you," i replied with my hands folded, resting on the table.
He laughed,"shocked?"
I nodded,"of course. Never expecting this. So, tell me your story."
And he did, about his life story from his debut to where he was.
"I'm.. i'm sorry, for not being there for you."
I looked down at my arms, not daring to have some eye contact.
"It's not your fault dear, you had your hard time too right? What's your story?"
I looked back up at him, relunctant to start.
At this time, the waiter came with our food and we dug in with no contination of the topic.

My phone rang after we were done.
"Hello? Ah boss yes, what is it?"
Apparently, i was needed to the office straight away for an important meeting.
"Sorry Oppa, i really need to go. Nice catching up!"
I was ready to call for the bill when he interrupted me.
"I'll send you there, i drove here." He smiled.
"It's ok, i can just get a cab." Darn it for my car was in the repair store, my brother crashed it a few days ago.
"I insist, lady." His stand was firm.
"Fine, but this meal will be on me then."
"Ok, so next time on me."
I couldn't argue further as i really need to go.
Paid the bill, off we ran, jumped into the car and we were finally on the way.

I slammed the door close and waved goodbye to him.
Panting when i reached the office, i went straight to my boss's office.
"Sorry.. boss.. What.. what do.."
"Woah Hyejin do you want to take a rest first? Have a seat."
I dropped myself on the chair.
"Firstly, my apology to call you back on your off day but this is really important. We got a spokesperson for our company and he's really someone who isn't very easy to work with."
My eyebrows lifted up,"who is it?"
Before my boss could reply, the table phone rang.
"Boss, he's here." The loudspeaker said.
"Come Hyejin, let's meet him."
I pulled myself up and to the meeting room.
My boss pushed the door open, and the sight i saw made my jaw dropped wide.
