A Billionaire's Lost Love novel Chapter 6

Her brows furrowed. She replied, "I think I should be the one asking that."

"I'm not sure what you mean."

"You've been away for the rest of the morning. And it's already lunch break and you're still at your workstation," she said, worried.

I sighed with a smile as I pushed myself a bit from the table. "I guess that's what's included in being a secretary here," I remarked.

She sighed. "What you did wasn't even a part of your job description. Don't overwork yourself, especially when you did something that isn't your responsibility," she protested. She mumbled, loud enough for me to hear, "That Chun Minju is getting braver by the minute."

I was taken aback by her sudden remark. Baffled, I asked, "What do you mean by that?"

She glanced back to me and sighed. She fully turned to me and answered, "You can resume work later. Right now, it's lunch break. It's best that you come with me and join me in the cafeteria."

"I have so many missed calls--"

"At this point, I don't care about your missed calls. What I care about is your well-being and that includes your health," she argued. She added, "I almost lost a friend because of a similar incident. I'm not going to let that happen again."

"Okay, your side comments are scaring me. Mind explaining to me what you meant by that?" I repeated my previous question.

"I'll answer them only if you join me downstairs at the cafeteria."

I looked to my laptop screen then back at her. I repeated this action a few times before I finally grabbed my bag. She smiled triumphantly at me as we headed downstairs.

After I got my food for lunch, we finally sat down at the nearest table. Thankfully, the staff and my fellow co-worker were kind enough to tell me that the food was free. I wasn't told that employees here were given a free meal during lunch. But it was such a big help.

As we sat across each other, we were sitting in an agonizing silence for about five minutes. Until I realized that I never asked for her name.

I gathered up the needed strength and asked, "I hope you don't mind me asking. But what is your name? We've been together for the past few minutes and we never properly introduced ourselves."

"The name is Soyoung, Ya Soyoung. I'm in charge of the marketing department of its company," she replied as she opened her juice box. "Welcome to the family, Mingyu. I hope Minju didn't give you a bad impression of how this company runs. Our boss is the kindest person that there is."

"No, not at all," I shook my head. "It's been a tiring morning but I just accepted the fact that it's part of my job."
