"The boss may be a little rude and fierce in his speech. But, actually he's very nice."

Zoya has no idea what's wrong with Gallen. What was clear, the man immediately left her and acted cold since he picked Zoya back up a moment ago. Even until now, when they finally got home. The look on his face amazed at how big and luxurious the man's house instantly turned into a sour expression as Gallen again acted childishly by walking indifferently after rough nudging of his shoulder.
"Bos why, anyway? Less vegetables, huh? How come the road is so weird that it hits people?" The girl commented in a soft voice. Gallen who had walked far ahead certainly did not hear. But Alby who was still walking in the back immediately giggled after hearing the girl's spontaneous speech.
"You've always been outspoken, Miss." The girl looked at Alby's response. Although they had one car on the way back, but the cold atmosphere made none of them open their voices.
"My name is Alby. Miss is Zoya, isn't she?" Ask. Alby's hands are outstretched to shake Zoya. Gallen had already mentioned the girl's name when he told her his mistake this morning so of course the man remembered her clearly immediately.
Zoya nodded. He received a warm helping hand from the man in front of him without hesitation, "Yes. What is your job in this house? We'll be co-workers because from today on I'll be working here too." A wide smile expands perfectly on his face.
Just like a new employee at work, the jolly Zoya also tries to familiarize herself with Alby. He thought, that man must also be the same as himself who works in this house. New people like Zoya must certainly be more friendly to seniors who have worked for a long time in this house so that they can work well together. After all, the one who willingly came early in the morning to pick up a fierce man like Gallen on this pleasant holiday was certainly the subordinate of that man, right?
But, the makeup is pretty neat for a driver. What's his job, huh? Are all the workers in this place sure to wear nice clothes?
"Haha." Alby laughed. Funny, have all the village girls always been innocent like this?
"I do work with Boss Gallen, but I don't work in this house." Evidently. Zoya looked at the man's face, though her small brain became confused after hearing Alby's explanation.
"You don't work here? Well then, you're not my co-worker, dong?"
Alby nodded. Maybe for the employee category, they both certainly have the same boss. But for the workplace and the position, of course not.
"I'm Gallen's boss secretary at the company, so maybe we still meet a lot despite not being in the same workplace."
Zoya spontaneously let go of her hand. Secretary said? Meaning this man in front of her had a high standing?
"A-Ah, sorry. I was just a little surprised. That's a very good position and also suits you, hehe." Again he smiled. But this time, a little awkward.
Though he should be more embarrassed to Gallen who is the boss of the man, but when he heard that Alby is an assistant in a company immediately make him tremor. Maybe because Alby's attitude was more formal, while Gallen was always angry at him. Therefore for Zoya, Alby looks more authoritative than his boss. And see how this man in front of him looks ...
She is the perfect groom.
Zoya smiled a little. Although he knows that it is impossible for him to get a partner with the qualifications of Alby, but Alby can be a benchmark for girls in choosing a partner!
Hehe, but it seems the standard is too high if you make Alby's secretary as a benchmark. He's too perfect!
"Then, Miss---- "
"Zoya" cut the girl, "Call Zoya. I'm not a noble family lady or a high-ranking person, so it's better to call her by name." His proposal. Alby heard the request well, then smiled as he felt the girl's adorable expression.
"Alright, Zoya. Then you can call me Alby, or if it's weird to call me by name right away, you can call me by any call." Said. Zoya who heard that only nodded obediently, while thinking about what kind of call was suitable to use on this man before her.
"I just want to explain. The boss might be a little rude and fierce in his speech. But, actually he's very good. Therefore, don't be too offended by his words." The man defends his boss.
Zoya who was initially serious immediately giggled at Alby's words. Of course, not once or twice Gallen called him 'stupid' after all'. The man kept pushing her, being rude, and talking spicy. But Zoya never took any of the man's words seriously. He was too relaxed to be angry just because of such things. Let's just say, that's the style of speech of a Gallen. The man who was shy when talking then finally said rudely like Gallen was not much he met, he said, but if he could have survived twenty years in the same house as his grumpy father, how could he have been hurt just by the words of the man for a day?
"Just calm. I don't have a problem, huh." The girl smiled with her teeth. Alby, who saw it, smiled, somehow believing that Zoya was truly reliable.
"Good, I believe you can definitely get through it well."
"Then, I--- "
"Zoya!" Shouted someone.
Both looked at the source of the sound. In front of the large door, Gallen folded his hands in front of his chest with a visibly irritated face.
Aaaaaa, I don't want to be fired!

Zoya really feels really small right now. If when standing up the man already looks like a giant, what about now where Zoya is sitting on the floor while Gallen is standing in front with his eyes glaring at him? Wasn't he nothing like a little mouse in front of a hungry cat?
"Boss, actually until when do you want to punish me?" Ask Zoya at last.
Gallen wasn't scolding her from that moment. He just made the girl continue like that without doing anything. Even if it doesn't hurt directly, isn't it no different from punishment? Things get very unpleasant when Zoya has to keep quiet without doing anything in the middle of a gripping atmosphere like this.
"You like Alby?" Ask Gallen suddenly. Pretty random question after all the weird treatment he's been doing. Zoya raised her head, feeling strange at the question.
"Why is the question so that?"
Gallen did not answer. Instead of giving an explanation that matches Zoya's question, the man turns his face away and answers with words that can make anyone feel annoyed, "Of course. I was the boss. Who would forbid me to ask." A pretty arrogant speech with a supportive facial expression.
Zoya wants to curse, but unfortunately Gallen's answer is correct. Forced, he must hold in his heart every curse he wants to say to the man who is his boss.
Gallen glanced silently. Seeing the invisible Zoya wanting to answer, she suddenly got upset. Back she was reminded with a timid expression that was clearly visible as Zoya looked at Alby. Gallen screeched, directly bending both knees. Like a Prince kneeling before the Princess, Gallen looked back at Zoya with a serious facial expression, "Hey, I'm asking you!" Ask her then in a voice that rises several octaves.
Zoya was a little aghast, then fell silent with her eyes wide open. He did not expect there would be a romantic scene in this conversation, but shouldn't Gallen speak better?
If the Prince in the fairy tale had just the slightest bit of Boss-like nature, his romantic story would definitely fail miserably!
Zoya can only.
Although Gallen is currently angry with him, Zoya does not take her eyes off the man. Does Gallen think Zoya is afraid of him? If the man thinks so, then the answer is no. He doesn't feel that way at all. Instead of feeling scared, Zoya just feels she has a responsibility that she must fulfill. And that responsibility has to do with Gallen. So, with an expression that was no less serious, the girl looked at Gallen who was still frowning.
"Boss, what is possible ... " Gallen looked at the girl. Zoya looked serious with her words. He did not immediately continue what he wanted to say, making Gallen feel more curious.
"Damn it, what do you really want to say?" Gallen is becoming increasingly impatient.
Zoya may be the new officer in this house. He doesn't know Gallen as well as Alby knows him. But, is it possible?
Gallen was still looking seriously at the girl.
Zoya sighed. Maybe, he'll be scolded. Shouldn't he be too presumptuous? Moreover, to read his own boss's feelings like this.
After maintaining her serious facial expression for a while, Zoya finally returned to showing an innocent facial expression without sin. With his second face that was only one inch apart, he reluctantly finally resumed the words that were cut off just now even with the consequences of being scolded.
"You jealous?" Ask Zoya.
