A young and ambitious girl owns one of the biggest companies of fashion in South Korea. She believed money was the best in life but also worked hard to be a brand everyone loved. Her passion and character had caused quite an impression on people aro...
"Ugh, finally!"- I said after Felix finally came out from hair, makeup and clothes.
I looked at him and he was...different...he was eye catching... Well, more than he usually is. He looked like a real model...
"Miss Yoon?..."
Felix called me and brought me back to life.
"Yeah, hum... Let's start the photoshoot"- I said.
"I never did this before"- he told me in nervousness.
"Great! A new experience"- I was going to take him to his place but he spoke again to stop me.
"But I'm not good at this!"- he was not confident about the task.
"You're only bad if you believe you are bad..."- I let him absorb my inspiring words for a moment- "...Now let's go, I cancelled meetings for this!"- I got impatient.
The work started and Felix was trying to make himself comfortable. I looked at the little screen that appeared the photos that were being taken and it felt like something was different... Not the way I wanted to be... His freckles! They covered them up.
"Wait! Stop!"- I told the photographer.
The photographer did what I said and I directed myself to Felix. I took my napkin made of soft fabric and cleaned his makeup from his nose and cheekbones.
"Aish, I told them not to cover the freckles"- I mumbled
I was focused on taking the makeup off that I didn't notice how much he was looking at me. I suddenly got nervous because we were so close... I couldn't help but to look back at him...

He stared back at me, right into my eyes, and I felt weak for a moment... It was like time stopped and only us existed for that time in the world...In between of a busy studio, the only sound hearable was our breaths locking with one another.. But then his eyes moved to my lips... Why is he looking at my lips?... Why are our breaths getting uneven?... Is this... a so called... moment?...
"Miss Yoon"- the photographer called for me because he noticed I wasn't wiping Felixs face anymore.
"Oh, yeah, right"- I came back to life and cleared my throat as Felix gulped.
That was weird...
**************
The photoshoot ended and I was going back to the company when I realized Felix was walking out the door alone.
"Are you going back to the company?"- I asked him and he turned to me.
"Yes. There is a bus in 15m"- he answered.
"I'll take you with me. I'm going back too"
"Oh, it's fine"- he wanted to decline the offer.
"Seriously. It's convinnient. You don't need to catch a crowded bus and I'll have my employee in the company with no delays"- I justified.
We walked in the car and I was just returning some emails with my phone.
"Hyejin, can you put Jeffrey on speaker. I don't have his number on my phone"- I asked my assistant as she connected her phone to the car and called the business manager.
"Hello?"- Jeffrey answered
"Jeffrey, this is the president. One of our private documents seems to be out, how is that possible?"- I sounded angry.
"Hum... Miss, I didn't know about that..."- he told me.
"You didn't know about it!? What kind of-..."- I stopped midway as I looked at Felix and remembered what he said about me not always being nice to my employees... Felix just now looks scared of me...
"Miss?...."
"Jeffrey, just look into the situation and report to me as fast as you can. I would appreciate to have an explanation by the end of the day... Thank you for your work..."- I somehow contained myself.
"Yes, Miss! I'll do that just now!"- Jeffrey answered me and hung up.
I took a breath out. "Oh, that took a lot of energy from me."- I said.
"You were ready to yell at him"- Felix laughed.
"But I didn't! I stopped and I'm not a hypocrite anymore"- I said as an argument and that made him laugh more. -"Wait! There's a french coffee! I need a croissant"- I told my assistant and she left me and Felix by the shops door so she would find a parking spot.
"I haven't ate a croissant in so long"- Felix happily commented and I smiled.
We entered the place and it was beautiful. It looked like a parisiene scenario, just like you see in the movies. White walls with wooden tables as the smell of fresh bread enters the lungs.
"Miss, can you please come to this side?"- Felix asked me about his left side as we were waiting in line.
"Why?"- I asked
"Nothing... it's just... Nevermind, it's probably in my head"- he answered.
He looked like he was suspicious of something but I shrugged it off.
"So, do you want a croissant with ham and cheese or just chocol-"
I didn't finish to ask him as he suddenly put his arms on my shoulders and moved me to his left. He kept looking at a girl in a table but his arm was in my shoulder as if he was protecting me and I felt... comfortable?...
"I think that girl is taking photos of you"
The girl was wearing all black and once she saw Felix and I looking at her, she got up to leave.
"Weird..."- Felix mumbled.
To be honest, I didn't care much, I was just enjoying the fact that his arm was wrapped around me... Wait, what?...
"Okay, so, croissants!"- I got off of his embrace and went to order so he wouldn't notice I was blushing... God, what is wrong with me!?
"Be careful!!"- Felix suddenly screamed at me.
I looked behind and the girl that had gotten out in the black cap and mask was now behind me and ready to hit me with a rock.
Felix got in the way, thankfully for me, and grabbed her wrist. The girl dropped the rock because Felix put pressure on her wrist, but she wanted to run.
"What do you want??"- Felix asked her but she somehow freed herself and ran away. Felix wanted to go behind her but I held him back by his blouse...
He looked at me and I looked up at him...
"Can you not leave?..."- I asked him scared but knowing he somehow makes me feel protected...
He was looking confused at me... He probably is wondering why I don't want to chase her but most importantly why do I want him to be with me in order to feel safe?...
