As a Special Assistant to the President, it means that my office will be located in the office of Ministry of Justice. The outer office of President’s office. Several assistant desk oddly place into a row, from a distance it show a shape of “ —- _”. Undoubtedly, the almost right is my table. But no matter what, at the end of the confinement period, began a formal career, I’m still very happy. I was happily decorating my table, when behind a ‘hey, hey!’ laughter sounded.

I looked up and saw Taehyung leaning against Yoona’s table looking at a report. I silently look at him for a moment. I whispered to him ‘Don’t pretend. I know that you intentionally put this VIP table and I know you deliberately wanted to spy’

We were silent for a moment. He finally looked up and said ‘Miss Manoban, is there a problem?’

I give him a radiant smile and said ‘Good morning President!’

Taehyung was surprised for a moment. He doesn’t seem to think that I will have such a reaction. He look at me and said ‘Good morning! Welcome and work hard’

When he turned to leave, I saw the playful and gentle smile on his lips. He actually look handsome.

Taehyung has four assistants. The legendary Kim Seokjin, previously seen Im Yoona, Lee Sunmi and Taeyon. Kim Seokjin is the most senior, calm and sophisticated. He expressed a warm welcome smile like a big brother. Yoona and Sunmi are graduates from famous university. Both of them standing side by side gives you a feeling of “elite”. Although Taeyon look gentle, her thin lip show a sharp and fierce feeling. It’s said that she is the only one with college qualification. She relied on her own efforts, step by step from the bottom climb up to became President Assistant. Three of them also expressed a warm welcome to me.

I took a deep breath, sit down and start thinking. Yes, my career started in a bizarre way, but no matter what I will be persistence to prove to them. I, Lalisa Manoban is rightful to sit in this position.

No matter what title they offered, I’m just a rookie. Doing most of the running errands, photocopy and transferring files.  Such meaningless and complicated live. If an unknown staff see my nameplate with the extra word “special”, they will always came straight over to me. I often felt embarrassed as I need to refer to someone else or asked the senior for assistance.

Last time, a boss came. He asked for my assistance but I don’t understand therefore I referred him to Kim Seokjin. Later he came back, looked at me and said “Special Assistant, that special! Little girl in future if you resign remember my words.” You say what type of people is this. When I have lunch with Chae on Thursday, I complained to her.

‘Lalisa, tell me the truth. Do you have any special hidden deep background? In this mixed workplace, I can understand’

‘Where got such relationship! Is just …. ‘ I quickly swallowed the rest of the sentence. Well, President is right, I could easily slipped secrets or information from my mouth.

But what? Chae pressed.

I stuffed a mouthful of rice and shook my head to indicate I can’t talk about it.

Chae tilt my chin and looked at it carefully ‘So it seems the rumor is true. You this little girl wants to use this foxy face to fish a millionaire.’

‘I don’t want to be a gold digger!’ I swallowed the rice and shouted angrily.

The restaurant was quiet for a moment. All the diner stare at me seriously.

During lunch break on Friday, I went to send President a file.

He had a quick glance at the file, signed and handed it back to me. He took off his glasses and closed his eyes.
