Chapter 7

"Mr. Jeon is waiting for you." The assistant informed us and showed us the way to Mr. Jeon's office. From what Joonie said, his office was in the same building as the museum but on the third floor. Before entering the office I whispered to Namjoon not to tell him or anyone else anything about my disability. 

The fewer people know about it, the better I can do my job without any distractions. I don't have time for anyone to look down on me or think of me as a burden or incapable person when I'm as capable as them.

"Mr. Jeon, the person who arranged a meeting with you is waiting for you." The man says without entering and when he heard his boss's voice, he let us enter.

Namjoon took my hand into his and led us into the office which by the first step I took, seemed cold, to lack warmth, in an unpleasant way and the aura was austere. "Hello, and welcome to Vedere." A soft voice appeared out of nowhere. "I'm Kim SeokJin, the co-CEO, and manager of Vedere." The co-owner introduced himself anticipating meeting the owner. If this person is not even the CEO and is so kind, I can't even imagine how the owner himself will be. 

"I'm Kim Namjoon and this is Lily Whitelock. Thank you for dedicating some time to meet us. It means a lot." Namjoon started speaking for both of us because no matter how excited I was for this opportunity, my anxiety took the best of me.

 I had the same posture when the intimidating man appeared. Hands interlocked with one another and stared at the floor. "Of course Mr. Kim, Ms. Whitelock. Please take a seat and we can discuss the cause of your arriv-" "I want you and Mr. Kim to get out now." Another new yet so well-known voice made an appearance and was created for me to have an upset stomach full of butterflies.

I can feel my heart rate and breathing, increasing, adrenaline also rising sweating and chills down my spine.  I can feel myself becoming one of those sculptures down there in an instant. 

"But Mr. Jeon-" Namjoon tries to reason him, feeling my hold grip on his hand. "I don't like repeating myself, Mister."The infamous man responds with irritation in his voice. That's not good. What is he doing here? Nothing makes sense. I first met him in the biggest avenue of New York, earlier in the exhibition, and now, here. I swear this man is everywhere and nowhere. 

"Very well Mr. Jeon."

Minutes of silence occupied the room until the two men found their way out. As for me, I stayed in my place without doing anything but trying to listen to any kind of sound in order to know where he is. 

Nothing was being heard. Only my fast breathing which was constantly becoming unstable. What does he want from me? I don't know him at all and our first encounters together were rather...unpleasant and repellent.

"How can our meetings always be inevitable, huh?" His husky voice pierced my ears and I quivered. He was clearly whispering to my ear to be able to hear him this clearly. But when did he come this close? Was I too engrossed in my own world to realize his movements?

"Well...Miss Whitelock, since we are here all alone I would advise you to start talking if you want to persuade me into agreeing with your proposal. I don't have all day and I surely won't waste my time watching you looking at the floor as If I don't exist." The whole time he was talking I could hear his determined steps circling me but once he was done talking, I lost him.

"I told you before, it's impolite to look at the floor when someone is talking to you. Especially when that someone is me, but you seem to forget or prefer not to do that." He groans with irritation and his hand found its place right under my chin to lift it up and make me look at him. Out of fear and instinct, I shut down my eyes, and both my hands grabbed his shirt like the first time we met at the Avenue.

"Why do I always find my way to you Lily? What's so special about you that brings you on my way every single time?" His words caught me off guard something usual when it comes to him and his actions. My eyes slowly and steadily opened and I pray inside to at least seem like I'm creating eye contact with him.

I can feel his hot breath hitting my face. How close is he? "My eyes are up here Miele. Except if by looking at my lips you want to persuade me into accepting." His hot breath hits my ear and I can almost feel his lips touching it. "N-no, sir. I'm sorry. This...This wasn't my intention." I respond and my entire body is on the lookout for his unknown upcoming move. 

The next second I let go of him and I'm once again in the dark not knowing where he is. Did he realize I can't see him or is he just playing with me?"And how can I believe you? You have no idea how many have tried to use me for their purposes in the past.  You might be one of them." He mumbles to my other ear, making me slightly flinch.

I took a deep breath and tried to hold back not to say anything wrong and destroy my only possibility of making my dream come true but also disappoint Jonnie who tried so hard for this. "Y-you..."I closed my eyes and trusted my senses."You don't know that sir. But you'll never find out if you reject my proposal right now. I don't know what others did to you in the past and I understand that you have no reason to trust me. You are the only one who can make that decision. I just hope you won't regret it later." I sighed and my body relaxed the moment I finished my words. 

I just hope I didn't say something bad.

"Hm, I don't regret things, Miele. But I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in mind that would make me regret my actions if I don't accept. I don't regret anything Lily, others do. Especially coming across me."
