Siyi started applying for jobs at different companies... Her college friend Hanih, who was a fashion designing assistant at a key company came to her home to help her with her job applications...
Siyi's granny brought fruits and milk for them...
"Come! Come! Children!!
Have some fruits and milk... You both are so busy with your work since morning that you forgot to eat and drink... However important your work maybe... But remember, health comes first... Don't neglect your health because of work...
Come now!! Eat some..." spoke Siyi's granny.
Siyi and Hanih ate some fruits and drank hot soya milk and then, continued with their work...
"Siyi!! How many applications did you submit till now??" asked Hanih.
"Around 10-12" replied Siyi.
"Did you apply for 'Dream Gamings' ??" asked Hanih.
"No..." replied Siyi.
"Offoo!! How can you skip that company?? It's a leading game designing company which was set up a year ago... The company is recruiting staffs now and there is a huge number of vacancies...
Come! Apply now..." stated Hanih.
"But I'm not from science background... How can I apply for a game designing company??" asked Siyi.
"But you can at least apply for assistant post... I heard they are recruiting a new personal assistant for the President of the company as the previous assistant didn't accomplish her work properly and resigned...
But a lot of candidates would be applying for that post... So you'll have less chance of getting hired..." spoke Hanih.
Hanih continued, "But I still think you should apply for that post... Who knows if you'll get your luck all of a sudden and get hired... So don't miss the chance..."
"Hmm... I'll apply then..." Siyi replied and submitted the application for the post of President's assistant at 'Dream Gamings' company.
The next day, Siyi got calls for interviews at few companies... She prepared herself to attend the interviews...
She went for interviews at various companies... Her optimistic and enthusiastic nature impressed the interviewers of many companies... But due to tough competitions, she couldn't get hired...
One week passed.......
Siyi was loosing her optimism as she couldn't get a single job even after attending so many interviews...
All of a sudden, she got a mail from 'Dream Gamings' company... She quickly opened and read the mail...
"Aaaaaaaaaa......." Siyi screamed with happiness.
"Halmeoniiiiii....... I got job.... I finally got a job....." Siyi screamed joyfully and ran towards her granny.
She clinged to her granny and started jumping by holding her granny...
"Aaigoo!! Siyi! Siyi!
Wait!!! Wait, my child!! Stop clinging to me... You're squeezing me..." spoke Siyi's granny.
Siyi stopped jumping and calmed herself...
"Oouuhh!! Sorry Halmeoni!!
I was so happy that I couldn't control myself..." spoke Siyi in a cheerful tone.
"Congrats! Congrats! My sweet Sonnyeo (Granddaughter)!!
Now I can tell that Ghali-ah (Siyi's granny's schoolmate and a slanderer)... My Sonnyeo has got a job at a big company... Then I'll see, how she will react..." spoke Siyi's granny proudly.
"Halmeoni....." called Siyi in a childish tone.
"Okay you go to your room and get some sleep... You have been working so hard recently without getting rest... You'll fall ill if your body doesn't get enough sleep...
I'm going to prepare your favorite dishes... When you'll wake up, the dishes will be ready..." spoke Siyi's granny.
"Aawwnnn!! My sweet Halmeoni!! Thank you!!" spoke Siyi childishly and cuddled her granny.
"Okay! Okay! Go and get rest now... You couldn't get enough sleep after joining the company..." spoke Siyi's granny with a smile.
"Ooohh!! It didn't come to my mind at all... I have to join the company tomorrow... I'll get some sleep now... Then I have to get prepared for tomorrow...
Okay Halmeoni!! I'm going now... Don't forget to make fried chickens for me..." spoke Siyi and went back to her room.
"Oh! This silly girl!! Completely crazy for fried chickens..." Siyi's granny spoke to herself and went to prepare dinner for Siyi.
The next day, Siyi woke up early and got ready wearing a formal black pencil skirt, a white shirt with a black single breasted casual blazer and black high heels... Her outfit made her look more elegant...
"Halmeoni!! I'm going for work..." shouted Siyi.
"Wait! Wait! Have some breakfast..." spoke Siyi's granny and came running to her holding a plate of bread toasts on one hand and a glass of milk on the other hand.
"I don't have time, Halmeoni... I'm getting late..." Siyi spoke and drank the milk quickly.
Siyi left swiftly for work after drinking the milk... She was unaware of the fact that Ray is the President of 'Dream Gamings' company as he was absent during the interview due to an urgent meeting...
What will happen when Siyi will encounter Ray once again?? What will she do when she will find that Ray is her boss??
