CURSED FATE OF THE FALLEN STARS {✅}

I hate Monday mornings.

The noisy alarm broke my slumber. I sat up on my bed and stretched my laziness out. Picking up my phone, I browsed through my schedule when I noticed Sul-hee's text.

Sul-hee : Good morning, sir. I have attached today's schedule below. You can cross check it with your new secretary who will be joining today.

It was a great experience working with you, I hope I get to work for you soon.
Signing off,
Eun Sul-hee.

"Shit, I completely forgot!"

Sul-hee, my secretary, morelike ex-secretary was going on a maternity leave starting from today.
I threw the phone away in the bed annoyed with the fact of how a new hassle just knocked my door.
Suddenly, the room became warm. To avoid getting hyper I decided to go for a quick shower.

Making my breakfast, I thought about Sul-hee's text.

"Great experience my ass! I'm sure she must be thrilled to finally leave my firm."

Being one of the most successful lawyer of the country has it's pros and cons. She worked really hard for the last four years knowing how difficult it is to work with me.

I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't noticed the food. I burnt the omelet completely. Another 'accident' in my 'normal' life.

Looking at the burnt dish, I became pensive as memories flooded me.
