Dark Princess

Game Character

"alright. Let's start with my first question. Oh... wait, how old are you?”

"24 years."

“International or Korean time?”

“Australia Korea.”

“Means you are 23 years old. Much younger than me. You could say, your career is a very drastic leap, for the size of Gaia Wear employees. But wait, how many years have you worked there?”

“I started my internship at Gaia Wear when I was in my final year of college and started working after graduation. So, about two years over.”

"And when did it start as Gaia's PA?"

“After a year.”

"Well, so that's it. That's too fast. At this age, recent undergraduate graduates start out as contractual charities. They start from the bottom. Mind telling me, what is your relationship with Gaia?" He asked to the point. But it hurts so much to take questions like that. I've been sufficiently gossiped and ostracized for such a quick career jump. And want to feel angry every time faced again with petty and nosy minded people like him. You rascal! I saw him in my heart. But my face still looks sweet. I took a slow breath and tried to calm down. I would've slapped him if he wasn't Earnest Lee.

“I don't understand the meaning of that question mr.Lee I'm trying to dodge.

"No need to pretend Miss Moon. I just want to make sure that he hires you purely based on your qualifications at work. Or not for any other reason?" You insolent! I cursed in my heart.

“As far as I know, it must be because I work hard like a horse. For other reasons you may be able to speak directly with my boss, because he is your best friend. In my opinion it is okay to ask personal things.” I said with a clear and sharp. He should have known that I didn't like the conversation very much.

“Quiet, no need to be angry. You have to remember, your main task is to make me feel comfortable, remember?”

“Sure, with pleasure.” Remember Jade, the proposal!

"alright. Let's start with that one. Do you not know me? To be honest, I was offended by the incident on the plane. And I need to use a little bit of my power here to know everything I want to know. Answer all my curiosity. Now answer honestly." Don't you? He's just a regular guy. Nothing special. Short-minded, holding a grudge even avenged him. All the news about him on the internet is wrong. He's just a bastard. Yes, I need to curse him to the satisfaction in my heart so that I can survive looking sweet. Later, I'll take the time to write an honest review, what it's like to work with Earnest Lee. I'll spread it in the virtual world. Let everyone know.

"Right, I know you."

"As who?"

“Overall, everything about you.”

“So what's with that attitude, acting like you don't know? Do you also know that you will meet me here?”

“I'm really sorry for that mr.Lee..." Finally, the apology came out reflexively from my mouth. As a self-rescue mechanism. Shouldn't have been Jade? Ja. Should have been from earlier.

"First, I have a habit of focusing only on what matters. I often meet celebrities because of work. In order to be able to act professionally I will behave not to know them. I mean, I'm not a typical fan who would say hello, or ask for a signature or ask for a photo or any other type of interaction with them.”.

“Does that mean you are my fan..?” Okay. I'm stuck.

“True. Who wouldn't like you? I mean, you are the dream man for many women in the world. I'm enjoying your songs and performances in the entertainment field and admiring your talent of managing a business. But I know the limits. I will never interact personally in the real world with anyone who is in everyone's dream.” Just put it together. Let him know that I'm very fansome. If so, he forgot my insolence.

I could see a rapid change in his expression. He was happy to hear my words. But he smiled stifled. I cursed him in my heart, you freak! I don't accept that I have to be in that position to meet his narcissist needs. He's still acting super-powerful, goatee-beard, pretending like a wise man.

"Are you cursing me in the heart now? Like calling me a narcissist?" I spontaneously go wild, damn it! He can read minds! He narrowed his eyes looking at my expression.

'"Because of you!" I couldn't help laughing either. He also laughed. And that's enough to melt the cold between us. From his eyes I knew that he was happy to see me laughing. As soon as possible I came to my senses and returned to a serious expression and remained calm. Honestly, I'm a little embarrassed.

"How about the second question, you know you will meet me here?”

"Oh yes. I know I'll visit your company. But based on experience, a visit like this will never meet with the owner of the company. So I'm pretty sure I won't meet you here. I want to apologize if my attitude offended you mr.Lee.” I said sincerely. Hoping that the incident could be quick he let it pass.

"Your reasons make sense. But it's not that easy. Have you ever heard from people that you're so cold, icy?" I'm stunned. I almost believed that he was a psychic. By looking at my expression, he had already gotten an answer to his question. He smiled knot.

"Since SMP. Wherever I am. Wait, are you a psychic?" I looked at him confused. And he laughed.

"Did you know you were funny? In a strange way?"

"Looks like. Sometimes, people laugh at me, don't know why" He looks amused. Holding back a smile by pulling her lips to the side. God, he's so handsome! But no! Jade, you must maintain a flat expression. Can't be charmed! Yes, I have to.

"When's your flight back to Seoul?"

"Tonight, flight's at 7."

"That means, you have to leave for the airport at 5 p.m. So, I have until 5pm right?" He speaks for himself, I don't understand what he means. But I can't go back to Seoul empty-handed. It means I have to hang in there until I get what I want until 5 p.m. Does that mean?

"You have to do your job until 5 pm, make me feel comfortable, then you will get what you want. Bring documents?"

"I brought it."

"We'll talk about the paperwork at 4 p.m. Discuss a little and then it's over, just an hour. Then you can leave. Agreed?"

"I follow Mr. Lee's instructions. What does it mean that my job to outline this project is complete?"

"Done. You've got more important tasks, make me feel good."

"What does it mean to make you feel good?"

"Silent. We have plenty of time. Just follow the lead. Don't try to be someone on that plane again. Obey, and relax."

"Sorry mr. Lee, are you under the influence of drugs?" I didn't think it out. He looked me in the eye, a little sharp.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because this is a little strange. This is the first time I have experienced something like this. For your information, I am a bit scared now. What exactly do you want me to do?" He smiled cynically.

"Where is the brave girl I met a few hours ago? Afraid? Now then? Why?" He seemed to be enjoying the moment of revenge. But for sure, I'm afraid. He played a character game with me. And he's the director. I can't guess what's going to happen. I hate that situation. I prefer to face physical attacks, so I have reason to fight back. Just boxing or kick. Rather than playing logic like this. I don't have any idea what to do.

"All right, what's my job?" But I can't give up, right? I tried to count the time to 5pm, not so long.

"I already told you. You have to make me feel good. Just follow the orders. Quietly and obediently."

"But I've apologized mr.Lee..."

"For what?"

"Because it offended you..."

"Oh, so you realize you're guilty. Of course, an apology is accepted. But did you know? There is always something called a side effect after an unpleasant event. That's what I'm trying to deal with right now..." I'm termangu. So I have created an incident that caused him to suffer side effects and I have to take responsibility for making up for it. I regretted being too innocent to think that he was a good man.

"For now, we start with a casual conversation. While tea or coffee. I want to know more about you... Want some more coffee or tea?"

"Mineral water." I answer briefly.

He got up from his seat, walked towards the pantry taking a few bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator and putting them on the table.

"If you need more. Just take. If you need coffee, tea or wine, beer, and the like, it's there. Don't hesitate." He said casually. It was as if I was happy to be in the state he created. I looked at him with compassion, begging for mercy. But he doesn't seem to be flinching. I took one bottle of water and downed the whole thing. But the fear inside me did not go away.
