Chapter 1: Is it him?

The dawn breaks and the golden rays of the sun fall on her face. She groans and rolls over, shielding her face from the sunlight that disturbed her precious sleep. Just as she's about to fall back into her slumber, the door opens, revealing her middle-aged mother.

"Y/N! Wake up! It's already 7:15!" the mother stands beside her sleeping daughter, looking at her with a stern gaze.

"Just 5 more minutes, mom!" she says in her Sleep-roughened voice.

"5 more minutes?! Y/N!" her mother exclaims, "Did you forget what it is today?"

Y/N looks up at her, with her puffy eyes squinting, trying to recall what her mother is referring to, "What?"

"Oh god! Today is your job interview! At Jeon Industries!" her mom reminds her of the important event.

Y/N jolts up. Her eyes widen and she swears under her breath, "Oh Shit-" She hastily throws off the covers and rushes to the restroom.

Today is a special day for Y/N— her job interview in Jeon Industries. Gaining a high position at a prestigious company like the Jeons has been her dream and she's eager to showcase her skills in fashion designing. Despite of lacking work experience, she's quite confident that she'll ace the interview and that she's capable of securing  the high position, as the Assistant Chief. She has spent a deal of time, preparing for the interview, how to present herself before the CEO.

She gets ready, wearing the outfit she has saved for this special day- black linen plants, with a white shirt tucked in and a beige coat over it. She puts on her heels and takes her clutch with her.

"Y/N, have your breakfast!"

"No, mom! It's already 7:45! I'll have it on my way!"

She is about to get out when her mom calls her, "Sweetheart, come here..., " She is confused as to why her mom is calling her back. "This... You forgot your pendant!"

"Oh shit- Thanks mom! I'll be careful next time!" she wears her precious pendant, hiding it carefully beneath her shirt.

It takes about 10 minutes to reach her destination, by local transport. She hurriedly gets down from the bus and makes her way. She's too anxious and excited for it that she almost jumps with joy. Her dream is about to come true! Amidst of her excitement, she doesn't notice a man running past her, pushing her aside. He is so fast that the impact makes her stumble and almost fall. "Hey!!" she growls at him but he is already gone, leaving no trace. She is left in utter shock. He seemed so fast, like a flash of lightning.

She lets go of the thought as she makes her way into the building.

"Excuse me... Where should I wait for my turn for the interview?" she asks the receptionist.

"Oh, you must be one of the applicants! Come with me, I'll take you there," the kind, young lady offers her help.

She takes Y/N to the elevator and presses the button for the 38th floor.

"I hope I'm not too late... ", Y/N mumbles to the receptionist.

"Oh no no, you're right on time! Infact Mr. Jeon too, arrived just a while ago," she assures her with a smile.

She gets confused. A while ago? Was it that guy?

The elevator soon arrives at the floor. Y/N gets out along with the lady. On her way, she looks around the area. It's huge, with chandeliers on top and a big glass wall providing a glamorous view of the city. A few meters away, she could see a tiny crowd of people seated in the waiting area. Probably the applicants.

"There. You can wait for you turn, miss. Best wishes!" the lady bows to Y/N. Y/N too, returns it with a soft smile and a 'Thank you'.

Y/N waits there anxiously, tapping her feet on the ground out of excitement. She pays a close attention to the names of the applicants being called out. Glad her name's at last on the list. ''Nam Dohyun... Lee Mina... Kim Hoyeon...," the woman beside her gets up and makes her way in. Oh shit!! It's my turn now!!

Y/N bites her lower lip, closing her eyes shut. She's getting her social anxiety. She tries to remember all the things she had prepared for the interview. Good morning Mr. Jeon... I'm Choi Y/N... 25...Fashion designing is my dream job--

"Miss Choi Y/N... "

"Ah-" she quickly breaks out of her thoughts and stands up, tidying her hair. "Yes, it's my turn now, right?"

"Yes, Miss. But, I guess you've to wait for some time... ", the man informs her.

"Oka--wait... What? Why...?" Y/N is confused. Wait... But why? What did I do?

"It's an order from Mr. Jeon, the CEO. He needs a break." the man informs, maintaining that formal posture and tone. Y/N sits down and mentally groans. Why me?!

On the other hand, in the CEO office:

Mr. Jeon turns his chair towards the glass wall, viewing the city. He leans onto his comfy chair, unbuttoning his shirt and caressing his pendant that he always keeps hidden under his button up shirt. He closes his eyes and sighs. He is sweating hard so, heturns on the air conditioner to a much lower temperature.

Ah, the day of the month is coming. It's getting harder to control it.

Suddenly, he hears his door, creak open.

"Sir, are you ready?"

"Hmm... Bring her in."

He buttons up his shirt, maintaining his neat and formal posture. He takes the register and reads thoroughly through the detail of the last candidate.

"May I come in, Sir?" Y/N musters up her courage and speaks out. She notices the CEO seated comfortably in his comfy chair, with his chair turned around, facing the glass wall. She's not gonna lie, she's quite excited to meet her new CEO. She has never seen him before.

"Come in."

She walks in, admiring the luxurious room. She has never seen something luxurious like this. Light, pastel colours and modern furniture and accessories... It's so aesthetic! She sits on a chair in front of his desk.

Just then, he turns around, twirling a pen between his fingers. He's damn handsome. Those sharp eyes, raven hair and his buff body... He's perfect. He reads through the register for a minute and then looks up, "Good morning, Miss Choi."

Just as the man in front of her sets his sharp gaze on her, she furrows her eyebrows. Where have I met him...? He looks somewhat familiar... When realisation hits her, she widens her eyes and freezes on her spot, staring right back at him.

Those same pitch black eyes that can shoot daggers with just by the sharp gaze, those same silky raven hair and the sharp facial features... Never in her dreams had she thought that the mysterious guy she has been in search for all her life, would turn out to be the CEO of her new company.

'Is it.... Him?'

P.S. Hey guyss!! So, I'm here to inform that please ignore the grammatical mistakes for now. I'll try my best to improve it in the coming chapters!! As, I'm still a student, younger than I may seem, I'm here to gain writing experience and be better at it. So please don't be harsh!

Apologies for that!!

Thank you!
