"It seems, it's not too bad to bring that stupid girl here either."
\\*
Gallen was stunned to hear the question of the girl in front of him. Unlike usual, his face suddenly turned red just because of the two words just now.
You jealous?
"This idiot, who's jealous of you?!" He keeps his face away from Zoya. Just plain! How could the girl have thought that Gallen was jealous seeing her closeness to his own assistant? Who does he think he is?!
No, I can't be jealous. Who is that stupid girl? Not a single one of those girls could make me feel interested!
Gallen looked at Zoya who was still staring at him. His face gritted in annoyance. He still felt unacceptable to the girl's sudden accusation. He should be glazed properly in order to see who he is well. Zoya may be pretty, her skin is white, and her body also looks good, but ...
Plaque!
Gallen suddenly patted his own cheek loudly. Even Zoya who looked at him from earlier was shocked by the behavior of her strange boss.
Damn it, why am I praising that fool?!
Zoya silently looked at her boss until she did not blink. He wanted to ask, but he was afraid that his boss would get angry. After all, Zoya is just a new employee, she shouldn't act so close to her boss. But, it feels curious anyway. What exactly is he doing? Has Gallen really gone crazy?
"Boss, are you okay?" Zoya asks him finally to be sure. He was worried that his strange boss would become even stranger. It would be dangerous for that man, as well as him who is currently working there. Zoya is not afraid if the man is just fierce, but what if it turns out Gallen has other indications?
Gallen looked at Zoya with narrowed eyes. Come to think of it, since when did the girl call him with the call of 'boss'? Didn't that call sound the same as when Alby called himself?
"Hey, you. Why are you calling me that?" Gallen couldn't help but feel upset when he heard the call. He felt there was a wrong order in this process. Yeah, of course you are. Wasn't he the one who brought the girl in? So before Alby, Gallen had to be the one closer to the girl, right?
Gallen looked seriously at the girl before him. Strange, indeed. Why would he have to bother with such an unimportant matter? What's wrong with calling 'boss'? Isn't it a very natural thing for a subordinate to call his superior the boss?
After all, why would he be so unwilling if Zoya was closer to Alby than he was?
Gallen turned his eyes away. Maybe his actions will be misunderstood, but believe me he does not intend to act strangely. He hires Zoya solely to help the girl who needs help, not for any other purpose. And though as she says, Zoya does have white skin, a pretty face, and ....
I think I'm really crazy, yeah.
Gallen doesn't know what to talk about. Right, it looks like he's gone crazy.
"Anu, boss, I don't know what to answer to your question earlier ... " Zoya's eyes look completely innocent. He seemed completely clueless as to what his boss was dealing with right now, "But, you don't need to be jealous." Said again.
Gallen sighed, "Of course, I---"
"Boss!" Zoya's voice instantly cut off Gallen's words.
The man turned to her, finding Zoya smiling very friendly. His smile looked so innocent and pure, not the business smile he often saw during meetings with the goddamn elders that made him almost out of breath. And of course, it made Gallen instantly speechless in the warmth channeled through the girl's smile.
It seems, it's not too bad to also bring that stupid girl here.
Gallen lowered his head, pretending he didn't want to see the girl. If Zoya is meticulous enough, her red ears are enough for the girl to understand that Gallen is ashamed of himself.
Gallen who was originally ready to hear the words of seduction from the girl immediately fell silent. The timid smile that had previously expanded on his face was instantly faded. It did not take long, Gallen immediately raised his head which was originally just staring at the floor. Zoya, the innocent girl, is still smiling sweetly after messing with Gallen's imagination!
"You're really stupid, huh?" The words of Gallen then that makes Zoya immediately cengo.
Gallen, upset with Zoya's innocence and stupidity, leaves, not wanting to see Zoya for much longer. And the abandoned Zoya becomes even more confused. Were his words wrong?

Brucks
Gallen threw his body into the bed. Long enough he looked at the white ceiling of his room, drifting in his own mind. He then placed next to his arm covering his eyes, starting to think of the many things that had happened lately. He was so tired he thought about sleeping. Gallen closed his eyes for a few seconds, until he suddenly sat back down on his big bed with a visibly upset face.
"That fool ... how can I pick up such a shitty human like him?" Resenting. Suddenly the shadow of the girl appeared in his mind. Gallen looked towards the door, where of course there was no Zoya there.
He took a long breath. It's true that there have been a lot of problems lately. The business of the office, the family, and now the troublemaking girl also appeared. Though Gallen never allowed anyone to come to his current residence, but now he even brought a girl from the middle of nowhere into his house as a domestic assistant.
Gallen again laid his body on his soft bed. Actually, even though she keeps complaining, Zoya's existence does not really make her feel disturbed. It was true that the girl just kept getting upset. But for some reason, Gallen did not feel heavy to serve every question or strange behavior that the girl did. This is indeed a strange thing, considering that he is the creepy type that makes girls feel reluctant to sit for long with him. But Zoya is different.
Although the reason was also not pleasant enough for Gallen to hear, still the existence of the girl was a little interesting. The feeling as if, 'Ah, it turns out that there are still women willing to talk to me' made Gallen feel a little amused. Zoya, the girl is the one who made him feel that way. Zoya has not been afraid of him since the first time they met. The girl dared to respond to his every word, even he also commented on his rude speech style. If it was anyone else, there was no way anyone would dare to comment on him like that. Zoya is the only one who dares to do so. So even though Gallen was unsure at first, suddenly now he was thinking of changing his mind.
"What if I keep him?"
Gallen fell silent, pondering back on what he had just said. Defend the girl? Really? Was he not speaking wrong?
Even if Aunt Pamela who has been advising Gallen to be more social heard his words, he said, he would have been very surprised to learn that the only person capable of making Gallen comfortable was in fact an obscure girl of unknown origin.
Well, it's okay. I often break the rules.
Gallen was confident in his choice. After all, he was not a person who liked to keep the rules, so there was no problem for him to befriend anyone. Especially for an anti-social person like himself, finding a suitable figure to talk to was no different than looking for a needle in the middle of a haystack. It's hard! Therefore if such a Gallen finally finds a friend, who will ban it?
Right after he made up his mind, suddenly a knocking sound was heard from outside. Gallen moved, drew closer to the door and opened it without thinking. In front, Zoya who had just knocked on the door looked clumsy at the sight of Gallen. It seemed that he was also surprised that he did not expect that the man would open the door so quickly. But despite this, Zoya still tries to talk without wasting her boss's precious time, "Boss, can you forgive me?" Said.
Gallen fell silent, pretending to be cold with his fierce-looking face. Zoya continued to look at him, making a heartfelt expression so that Gallen could forgive him immediately. Nevertheless, Gallen actually feels that Zoya looks adorable.
This girl is funny.
Gallen let the girl plead for a while, only then did she accept the apology by acting as if she was still a little upset.
"Well, just so long as you don't repeat it." Gallen.
The words that had just come out of Gallen's mouth sounded like an oasis in the middle of the desert Zoya was worried about. The girl immediately looked bright, then smiled so beautifully.
"Eum, I promise I won't do it again!"
Gallen noticed a happy expression on Zoya's face. The girl never hid her feelings. Whatever Zoya feels, it will be clearly visible on her face. For example, as it is today.
That's great, because not everyone can show their feelings that way.
And Gallen, is one of them.
