Despite his promise that he wouldn't be too hard on you at first, your first day as an assistant to Jumin was hell, to say the least. There was no break in between the tasks he left you and it didn't take you long to realize why exactly the last assistant quit. Nevertheless, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity that you refused to allow it to slip through your fingers. You'd be soaring to new heights after working under him for a few years and you were willing to endure it until then.
It didn't take a genius to realize that Jumin was a workaholic. Long after all the other employees left the building, he stayed along with you at his side as he finished the last of his paperwork. As much as you wanted to ask him if you could leave, you bit your tongue in fear of it coming off rude.
It was nearly midnight when Jumin finally placed down his pen and stood up from his chair. You nearly rejoiced when you realized he was finally ready to leave. Your feet ached from the uncomfortable shoes that were more for show than comfort and you had plenty of rest you needed to catch up on.
"Do you have anything else you need to do, Assistant [last name]?" he asked as the two of you entered the elevator.
"Thankfully, no," you said with a laugh of relief.
"Good. I'll have Driver Kim bring us both back to my penthouse so I can properly introduce you to Elizabeth 3rd and explain how you should care for her when I am away."
You thought - no, hoped - he was joking but after his expression remained neutral, a wave of dread washed over to you. If only you had lied and come up with a poor excuse as to why you needed to go home. You might as well wave goodbye to any shred of hope you had for getting a good night's rest.
Despite such a long and hard-working day, Jumin didn't seem the least bit tired unlike yourself. With a quick glance at your phone, you could easily make out the dark circles under your eyes and feel your body struggling to keep moving as you and he walked towards the limo with who you assumed to be Driver Kim sitting in the driver's seat.
"Hello, Mr. Han," he greeted as you and Jumin took a seat in the back of the car. "Ah, you must be the new assistant. Ms. [name], was it?"
You nodded your head. "Yes, it is. Pleasure meeting you, sir."
Jumin pulled out his phone and his fingers flew vigorously across the keyboard as he spoke to the other man in the car. "Yes, hello, Driver Kim. Bring us back to the penthouse. I must show Assistant [name] the proper way to care for Elizabeth 3rd."
"Of course, Mr. Han, as you wish."
The car ride was awkward, at least for you. Silence hung in the air, but you seemed to be the only person affected by it. You wanted to say something, anything, yet you didn't know what. In the end, you bit your tongue and kept your mouth shut all the way until you reached the penthouse.
"Do you have any way of getting back home, [name]?" Jumin asked after you and he got out of the car before stepping inside the building.
"Er, no. I take the bus, but I didn't see any bus stops on the way here..."
Jumin turned his head toward Driver Kim and for a brief moment, you thought you may have seen a sympathetic look on his face.
"Driver Kim, would you mind waiting another hour longer until my business with [name] is done?"
"Of course, Mr. Han."
You searched for any sort of resentment to be found in Driver Kim's voice, but there was none. He seemed genuinely happy to be working for Jumin despite having been asked to wait longer before going home. If anything, that just reassured your confidence in working under Jumin Han.
