CHAPTER 02
ROSELLE was on her way home when she saw Brian waiting for the elevator, she smiled at him and waited for the elevator beside her.
"Hi" Brian greeted smiling, she smiled back "Busy?"
"A bit, but I can handle" She replied. Brian just nodded and they both get in pressing the floor for the basement.
They were both chatting when suddenly a car speed off fast making Roselle and Brian startled.
Roselle was mad for a bit but when she saw that the car was Justin's, she just rolled her eyes.
"Who was that?" asked Brian who was confused.
"Ah that was Mr. Kim's son, the new boss" Brian just nodded and smiled at her. Brian is her coworker, he was assigned at a different department but they got close.
They both separated after they saw each of their cars and she went straight showering. And now she's getting ready to bed, she was drying her hair when her phone rang.
She picked it and it's from an unregistered number "Hello? Who's this?"
"How are you my sweet rose?"
Roselle frowned to confusion "Who are you?"
"Oh you don't know me? That hurts"
Roselle was a bit confused but the voice was familiar, the arrogance on the voice is very familiar and that's when she recognized "Where did you got my number?"
"I have my own ways baby"
Roselle hated how he sounds, he hate how he still talk to her as if he didn't spit rude words to her "What do you want Justinssi? (Mr. Jungkook)" her voice sound serious and pissed.
"Just nothing, just checking if this is really your number"
"If you don't have anything to say anymore, I'll end this Jungkook ssi"
"I like it"
"Mwo?"
"The way you call me Jungkook ssi, it's hot. I like you calling me that but in the bed when I trust inside you"
Rosé was shocked to his words that she drop her phone, she's just calling him formally because of their conversation earlier at the elevator.
Just like what he said she's just a mere secretary, nothing else. She'll just talk to him about work and nothing else. She heard him still speaking, she picked her phone and ended the call.
She'll try to ignore him and just speak with him when it's about work.
°°°
ROSÉ arrived at the work and as she gets in the office, a grumpy face welcomed her. Jungkook is in a bad mood and she's getting nervous of what the reason is.
"Why did you end the call?" Jungkook asked straight after she got in with a frown face.
"Ah... I drop my phone, it broke" Rosé started getting nervous.
"Why did you drop it? Do you know how irritated I was?" It was evident in his face the anger he have been feeling since last night.
"I was shocked at what you said" Rosé said.
Jungkook's grumpy face turned into a smirked, he remembered what he told her and seeing her flushed cheeks "What's the problem with it?"
"Just please Justinssi, let's not talk about this." Roselle with her pleading voice.
"Oh there you go again, I like it" Roselle just rolled her eyes when a call interrupted them.
He answered it "Oh he's here already? Okay just lead him his office and fire Park Brian"
Roselle was shocked hearing Brian's name. He fired him? Why? He ended the call smiling at her.
"You fired Brian?" She asked nervously
"Yes, what's the problem?" Justin sat straight facing her face.
"Why did you do it?" Her blood started to boil at the thought of it.
"Because I want to"
"You fired him without a valid reason? Just because you want to?" She asked angrily.
"Yes, I can do whatever I want because I'm the boss. What's it with you? Are you two together?" He said calmly.
"You're too much" Roselle glared at him and turned his back to leave the office.
"Where are you going?" Justin straighten his back seeing her leaving.
"Don't call me again, I'll send you my resignation letter tomorrow. If this is how you act, I'll leave here." Rosé stormed out of the office and went towards Brian's department, she saw him in his cubicle reading a paper.
She was confused what he's still doing here when he's fired "What are you doing here?"
"What do you mean?" Justin asked surprised seeing her in their department during working hours.
"You're not fired?" Roselle asked confusingly.
"What do you mean fired? I'm not" Brian said frowning for he don't get where Roselle heard this news.
"How about the new worker?" She asked.
"Ah yeah I heard, it's from another department." Brian explained
"s**t! I need to go, or I'll be dead meat." Roselle rushed towards his office but he's not there anymore, she was confused. He lied to her?
She walked towards his table and she saw a post it note on it, she don't want to check what it is but she's curious. She picked it and read.
"I'll come over to your place tonight if you don't want to get fired, you broke your phone? I left my phone on the table use it, I have some proposal for you"
Roselle checked his table and she saw the phone he left, it doesn't have a passcode. She puts it on her bag and went to her table when the phone beeped, she checked it and it's from an unregistered number.
"This is me, I'll not be coming back to the office today. I don't want to see your face for the time being, I'll just see you tonight"
Roselle scoffed and threw the phone inside her bag "What's the use when he'll see me tonight"
°°°
ROSELLE was hesitating if she'll let him get inside her apartment, she's nervous about the proposal he wants. She burst out earlier, she thought Justin really fired Brian without valid reason that she blurt out words she'd be regretting.
She was walking back and forth when her door bell rang, she was startled and she's starting to sweat bullets. She tried to calm herself and went to the kitchen to drink water.
She walked towards the door and grab the door knob, she turned it to opened but stop because of nervousness.
"Can you just leave?" She shouted behind the door.
"Open the door or I'll fire you"
Roselle grabbed the door knob and open it slightly and peek, she saw Justin leaning on the wall beside her door. When Justin saw Roselle peeking, he just smirked and push the door.
"What do you want?" Roselle asked.
"Can you let me sit first before you ask me?" Roselle sighed and lead him to her couch, she sit right in front of him. Justin put something on her coffee table and Roselle was curious what is it.
"What do you want now?" She tried asking again.
"Well, just a simple proposal"
"What proposal?"
Justin pointed the paper and let her read it herself, Roselle was a bit nervous what proposal he's talking. She picked the paper and read it, as she keeps on reading her eyes grew bigger "WHAT'S THIS?!"
"Well if you don't want to get fired, you have to agree with it and sign that paper" he said smirking.
"I won't agree with this" Roselle shook her head to disagree.
"Really? You won't regret it? You see, I don't just stop by firing you. I'll follow you wherever you go and ..." Justin leaned towards her and Roselle can't stop but to lean back away from him.
"This is plain bullshit! Why do we have to do this?" She said as she drop the papers to the table.
"Don't worry, we won't do it daily. If only I want to, and maybe you too?" Justin raised his eyebrows and smirk.
Roselle shook her head to disagree "I can't do that"
"I have my condition there, you can also make yours." He added.
"You speak like it's just nothing huh, when you want me to be your fubu?!" Roselle said shouting except for the last word, she just whispered it.
"Don't worry, I don't like commitments. It's just no strings attached"
Roselle was hesitating, she looked back to the paper where the agreement is written. She don't want to do this but she don't want to get fired, and she know she doesn't have choice.
Working in that company was a big privilege for her and a dream come true. She will do anything just to keep working there but she can't. She can't agree with this proposal, but what about her work?
Roselle sighed and looked back to Justin. This jerk is holding her on her neck.
Justin just smiled at her and pointed to the paper, indulging her to sign it.
"But I have one condition" Roselle sighed trying to calm herself and think deep.
"What is it sweet rose?" Justin said teasing the pressured Roselle.
"Stop calling me that!!" Roselle said angrily.
"Why? It's sweet" Justin laughed but Roselle was just annoyed.
She signed the paper and give it to him "I have a condition"
Justin looked at the paper she signed and looked back at her, ready to listen to her condition "We need to stop this if I want and say so and no one must know this"
"Of course, I don't want to let everyone know ..." Justin stared at her deeply, Roselle just stared back at him waiting for him to continue his sentence "that I'm f*****g my secretary" he continued.
"We have to act like we don't know each other in the office" She slowly said to make him understand all of it "Let's treat each other like how a boss and a secretary do, nothing else."
"Okay, I'll call you using my phone everytime I need you. You can call me too if you need me." Justin looked at her with malice but Roselle just glared at him making him laughed.
"I won't call you ever" she said with finality.
"If you say so, maybe let's do it every weekend" Justin shrugged and said it calmly.
"What do you mean every weekend?"
"What? Is there a problem with that? I don't have work during that day"
"Why is it every weekend?" she frowned, do they need to do it every weekend?
"What? You thought we'll f**k each other once a month? "
Roselle just stared at him with the eyes of innocence "Heol! Oh and also, you should not f**k anyone else aside from me."
Roselle was shocked to his word, she won't do that "Of course I won't"
"Okay!" Jungkook stood up holding the paper on his hand, Roselle followed and also stood up.
"You are leaving now?" She asked.
"Why? You don't want me to leave?" Justin walked closer to her, she walked backward not to get close to him.
"Ani, you should go now." Roselle keep waving her hands to disagree, while walking backward until she reach the wall.
Justin smirked when he saw that she is trapped because of the wall, he put his hand to the wall so that she can't escape "How about we seal our agreement?"
"Seal? How?" Roselle innocently asked.
"With a kiss" Justin kissed her on the lips, it was just short and just a peck. Roselle can't utter something, she just stared at him leaning in front of her.
"I'll see on weekends" Justin whisperrd as he left the apartment, her sight followed him until the door closes.
And when Justin disappeared she immediately collapsed on the floor, she felt her heart thumping.
"Waaaa jinjja!"
