A Billionaire's Lost Love novel Chapter 9

He took a deep breath in as he moved away. He grabbed his tablet and said as he tapped on it, "So, does that mean that what Minju said was true? That you were busy somewhere else instead of working?"

My heart raced a little as he asked that question. I wanted to defend myself but I didn't want to cause trouble for other people. I was only a new employee here. I didn't have the right to act all holy and perfect.

"You do know that in this company, we are very lenient with our employees. But when it comes to working hours, we're very strict. And if you're found slacking off during working hours, you're immediately fired," he explained before he returned to me. He repeated, "So, is it true? Was Minju telling the truth?"

My eyes widened in horror. Should I tell and risk being bullied by my co-workers? Or should I lie and lose my job?

I was about to answer when Mr,Kim continued, "We have security cameras on this floor. So, even if you don't answer me, I already know what happened." With one final tap on his tablet, he turned it around to face me.

I turned to it and saw my whole exchange with Minju, as well as the times that I would go back and forth to my desk. I was also shown a clip where Soyoung pleaded with me to have lunch with her.

Once the clips were done, Mr. Kim pulled his tablet back.

I kept my head low as I didn't know what to say about the situation.

"I'm not angry with you, Miss Ryuk," he replied, which made me look at him. He continued, "I just want to understand what happened during your first hours here."

Out of nervousness, I pinned my hands in between my thighs once again. And because of my discomfort, I shifted numerous times on my chair. And I proceeded to look around as I avoided Mr. Kim's stare.

"Miss Ryuk," I immediately turned back to him, "I don't know what's going on and that's a bad thing. I'm not sure if everything is fine or if you're being mistreated by your fellow co-workers."

"Well, it's not that, Mr. Kim," I was finally able to say something. "I was only helping Minju with her files this morning. She said she has a lot of things to do and she couldn't deliver the files herself."
