Chapter 2: First encounter
Is it....Him?
Y/N keeps on staring at him, dumbfoundedly. She doesn't know what she's doing. She just wants to know if it's him- the guy she's been longing for these 18 years! The guy of whom she has the last memories of her living with her real identity, the only one she can link to her past. He looks more masculine and buffer now but his facial features are still the same as she remembers.
The man in front of her squints his eyes, being confused, "Is there something on my face, Miss?"
"What- ehm... No sir!" she shakes her head and looks down, while the man in front of her leans comfortably on his luxurious chair, smirking, "Were you perhaps too mesmerized by my looks? I sure am handsome," he says proudly.
"Of course not, sir. I'm here for my job, not to eye any guy," she says sternly, making him poke his inner cheek and narrow his eyes. He's taken aback by her boldness. So bold, huh?
"Fine... Let's start with your session, " he says looking at the register, "What brings you here to work as an Assistant Chief?" he sets his gaze on her, scanning her body— her posture and gestures.
Y/N looks directly into his eyes and answers with no hesitation, "Fashion designing has been my passion since childhood and I'm definitely determined to pursue my career in it. And getting the opportunity to work as the Assistant Chief in such a big conpany like the Jeon Industries, it is obviously a golden chance for me."
Mr. Jeon nods, "What do you think are the qualities an Assistant Chief must have?" his gaze never leaves her, lingering all over her face, that shows no sign of fear. By judging her extraordinary confidence, he's sure she will be able to answer any of his questions without any hesitation.
"Firstly, leadership in order to supervise the work of the under employees. Secondly, creativity to suggest innovative ideas for designs and betterment of the company. Along with these, social skills and work management is equally very important."
He's impressed by her answers and gives a short, curt smile. He twirls the pen between his long, lean fingers and writes something on a piece of paper. Y/N sets her gaze on his hands, noticing how his fingers wrap around the pen and smoothly moves it along the paper.
"Okay... Last question. How do you think you are capable of being an effective Assistant Chief in our company?"
"Firstly, my clear vision of being one. Secondly, as being in such a position requires social skills and team work with others, I believe I have them. And last but not the least, as fashion designing being my passion, I believe my creativity for innovative ideas is at its peak," she finishes her answer and smiles.
He is impressed by her performance and nods. "The session is over. You may take your leave."
Y/N gets up from her seat and bows, "Thank you, Sir-"
"Mr. Jeon. Call me Mr. Jeon," he says his name with a hint of arrogance and smirks.
She mimics his arrogant tone and says, "Okay, Mr. Jeon," and makes her way out. 'Narcissist' she says under her breath. Her heels click on the floor as she walks out and shuts the door behind her. Just as Y/N comes out of the CEO office, she places her hand on her chest and almost jumps in joy.
You did it! Well done, Y/N!
She opens her lock screen, that has a picture of herself and her most precious person- her mother. As soon as she opens the screen, she sees 5 missed calls from her mom. She chuckled 'Aishh... This woman!'
"Ah mom-"
'Y/N?! How was it? Did you get selected?!" her mom asks her breathlessly, making her giggle, "Mom! First of all, breathe! Okay? Your Y/N did really good and the results will be out tomorrow!"
"Pheww!!" She heaves a sigh of relief, "Where are you? On your way?"
"No mom, Just came out of the CEO office. I guess I'll have something on my way. No need to prepare lunch for me!"
"Alright. Come home safe, sweetie!"
Y/N places her phone back in her clutch as she makes her way to the canteen. She didn't feel hungry until now, due to the mix of excitement and anxiety she was having. After having her interview done really well, she could feel her stomach rumble as she didn't even have breakfast. She takes a seat on one of the tables and skims through the menu. Just then, she hears a familiar voice calling her name, "Y/N? Is that you?"
She looks up and squints her eyes, trying to recognize the person. When she finally does, her face brightens up, "Yeonjun?!" she gets up and makes her way towards him. It's her best friend, the guy she hasn't met for so long. They share a warm hug and giggle, "What are you doing here, Yeonjun?"
"I got a job here. It's been a year," he says, his eyes staring right into her soul. 'She's still pretty as she used to be' He admires her as he stares at her.
"Wow, that's awesome. I came here to apply for the Assistant Chief position."
"Hmm... I can say that by judging your outfit," he chuckles looking at her up and down, "Wanna have a cup of coffee?"
"Sure! My stomach is rumbling! I haven't had my breakfast!"
"Oh my! Still the same, huh? Skipping meals...", he sighs. They both take their seats near each other and have a warm reunion. They haven't met each other since high school. Y/N moved to another school while Yeonjun stayed in the same. Yeonjun used to be her only friend that time so without him, she was really lonely. Meeting him after a long time is such a warm feeling. She almost didn't recognize him. He has become a lot masculine and handsome.
"So how was your interview with Jungkookshii?" he asks her, munching on his toast. Y/N is left confused for a while, "Jungkook...?"
"Ah right... You may not know. Mr. Jeon, I mean."
"Ah...," So Jungkook is his name! "Mm... It was pretty good. I answered everything confidently. I think so he was impressed...," Y/N smiles. She finds relief knowing his name finally. But a strange thing is that it doesn't ring anything in her mind. It's just his face. It makes her rethink: Was it really him?
"Of course! As always, confidence oozes out of you! You were popular in school for it. How can someone not choose you?!'' Yeonjun teases her, "But yeah... I'm seriously telling you... Be careful. Mr. Jeon, the CEO, is a cold and rude bastard. Reputation matters to him the most. Any mistakes, even a small one, he might fire you."
"Not gonna lie, he seems cold and rude to me right in our first encounter. The way he said 'call me Mr. Jeon'... Gosh!! Narcissist!! But I don't care bout him. What matters to me is how I work and my potential to do so!" Y/N says proudly, smirking.
"Of course!!" Yeonjun giggles, "But yeah... What you have said before me, don't you dare say that before Jeon! Your chances of getting this job will be gone!" he warns her.
"Mhm, I know," she says biting into her croissant. They giggle and chat for some time, while having no damn idea that someone has been watching them the whole time.
"Narcissist... Hmm? Look, how I torture you here," he mumbles under his breath as he walks towards his car.
Soon, the time passes by and it's night. Y/N sits beside her bed, while keeping her personal diary on the night stand. This diary, she has been writing it for 9 years, since she was 16. It was then when she found it out about her secret, started connecting those dots of her mysterious past and set a determined goal of finding that strange guy that always appears in her hazy flashbacks. She obviously couldn't share all these to anyone so, this diary is like her best friend, one who can keep all her secrets and feelings, without judging.
Dear Diary,
I don't know if it's true or not but I guess I've found him. That guy that I've been searching for so long, who probably knows all my secrets, I guess it's him. But... The fact is that he's my CEO!! Damn... I must find a way to be close to him though I don't like him at all! Cold, rude narcissist... Anyways, I hope it's really him! At least, I deserve to know who I'm, and I know the answer belongs to him. I must get all the answers of my unsolved mysteries from him!
Author's note: Well, this is a new JK based ff and it's not related to LOS (Life of Secrets). As I mentioned there in LOS, probably 'Will he be mine' will be posted later in the same story or IDK if I would make it separate. BTW, the main purpose of my note is to clear the misunderstanding that Entangled is not related to Will he be mine. So, I hope you like it and continue supporting it :)💜
