(25 minutes later)

It had been twenty-five minutes since Jen I guess had gone inside the CEO's chamber. I had gotten bored of scrolling through my Insta page so I just sat there and looked around.

(Five minutes later)

I was starting zoning out staring at an elegant looking vase on a classic looking stand at the corner of the room but got interrupted by loud and fast thunking of heels. I blink quickly and look in the direction from where the sound came from. It was from the corridor leading to the CEO's chamber. Seconds later the glass door opened and Jen squeezed out before hurling out without sparing anyone a glance or rather....hiding her face.

She made a great effort in hiding her face but nothing can escape my hawk eyes. Her face was flushed.

"Her too....? Why?", I mumbled quietly raising an eyebrow, looking at the place where she disappeared.

After Jen had walked out, Jugyeong got up and went to the CEO's chamber. And I was left with a question and bored.

(10 minutes later)

My elbow, resting on the armchair and my face, resting on my palm, I sighed. I looked at my watch every minute and it had been like 10 MINUTES since she had gone in and I was borrred. So to kill boredom I looked around to see if I could do something and I spotted Nelly probably, using her phone. So I decided to start a conversation.

"Hey...Nelly...", I trailed off.

"Hm?", She looked up from her phone.

"Um...I wanted to know...how you got into the second segment 'cuz I'm finding it hard to believe that I got into it.", I chuckled.

"Oh about that..", She said shifting her eyes back to her phone, continuing to do whatever she was doing. Narrowing my eyes, I flattened my lips getting displeased after seeing her do that.

"I didn't want to apply in the first place but I just did because everyone said that getting a job at Park Enterprises was a big deal so, I applied without even expecting to be selected. But I got selected so I came here. And you know, I don't even know who is the CEO of this company.", Her voice filled with disinterest.

I gaped at her after listening to what she had just said.

ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME RIGHT NOW LADY!??

"You..don't know Park Jimin??"

"Who??", She asked, slightly raising her eyebrow.

"Uhh, Park Jimin....the CEO of Park Enterprises...."

"That's the guy's name who's sitting in there?"

"Yeah...", I said still very shocked that she didn't know that.

"Uh okay then.", She said shrugged her shoulders still doing whatever she was doing on her phone and I took it as a sign that it was the end of this conversation.

(35 minutes later)

I was scrolling through my phone, my boredom still present but not as much, I heard someone speak. I look up and see Jugyeong, standing near the glass door. Then I noticed something was off about her.

"Nelly... It's your turn to go.", She said as she motioned her hands towards the chamber.

"Yeah just a sec...", She murmured, typing something quickly on her phone. I rolled my eyes slightly before shifting my eyes back to Jugyeong as she was waiting for Nelly to go in.

"Hey Jugyeong, I wanted to ask you something."

"Yeah go ahead.", She said, fidgeting with her hands.

"How was the interview? Was it difficult?"

"Um not really...the questions he asked me were okay but...", She trailed off.

"But...??", I encouraged her to speak it out because her body language was clearly off.

"Uh it's nothing.", She shook her head. "I was about to say....h-he might not ask you the same questions...yeah.", She answered. I leaned back slightly, losing hope for her to answer it correctly because it was very obvious that she was lying and she made it up on spot.

"Nelly I've got to go, you should go inside, Mr. Park must be expecting you.", She said quite hurriedly.

"Yup I'm going.", Nelly got up and walked inside the glass door and Jugyeong scurried out of the waiting room.

I was left alone, yet again with the same question and two times more curious OF WHY EVERYONE WHO LEFT HIS CHAMBER CAME OUT BLUSHING AND FLUSTERED BECAUSE EVEN JUGYEONG CAME OUT THE SAME WAY!

"Urgh, the curiosity is fucking killing me!"

(38 minutes later)

I was tired...tired of waiting. There were seven more minutes to go and then it would be my turn for god's sake.

"Okay let's be patient, only seven minutes to go and then freedom from this never-ending boredom!", I sighed leaning my arm on the back of the armchair and resting my head against my hand, being relieved halfway through.

I sat idle for about three minutes but then boredom and curiosity got the best of me. Exhaling sharply, I shot up swinging my handbag on my left shoulder and holding my résumé in my right hand. I slowly but steadily walked toward the glass door and held the handle. I pulled the handle. But as I pulled it, it was as if there was an additional weight on the other side. As an impulse, with a lot of force, I pulled the door open and I heard someone exclaim.

"WOAH-"

My eyes shoot up to see-

"Nelly?"

Nelly stood there awkwardly. I was about to ask her something but I was cut short by myself as it caught my eye again.

Nelly stood there, fiddling with her fingers, looking in all possible directions but where my eyes were..... her face reddened...

I was at this point.

"I-um..um I have to go. Excuse me.", She shuttered out as I silently moved away for her to take her leave.

As she scurried away, I stepped inside the corridor and stood there, letting go of the door as it shut itself silently.

"Her too?!?!", I whisper shouted, scared that Mr Park would hear me if I actually shouted.

I was taken aback this time because one- she also came out of his chamber the same way the other ladies came out two- it was quite a thing to see her act different from her 'I don't give a fuck persona' because that was the only thing we saw.

But now I was ten times more curious to know the only thing that was killing me from the beginning. Like I know that he's hot and all and it does affect to people some extent, but to that extent? That one comes out walking as if they were tipsy then holds like wall and door like as if they are holding on to their life? Or like they would be such a mess that they wouldn't even want to show their face? To me, it seems overdramatic. Maybe be it's because like Nelly said, she didn't know him. Maybe none of them might've known him either. Because if they did then they wouldn't have come outside looking like that.

But I have another thought.

If it weren't all women and there were some guys would they behave the same way? Well maybe, if he were gay and found him attractive and may or may not have known him the first place-

"Shit I can't be standing here for long! He must be expecting me!", Saying that, I almost dashed across the not very long corridor leading to his chamber. The closer I came to his door, the slower I got before actually stopping right in front of his door. The door was just like the one leading to this corridor but the parts where it was supposed to be translucent were different.

But one thing I never realised after being blinded by boredom, I had totally forgotten about stuff like- nervousness, insecurity, doubtfulness and deserving. I never even acknowledged them until later on.

Taking a deep breath, I hold the door handle.

"Here goes nothing..."
