I'm The Boss's Secretary?!

Chapter 55 - Tension

The two men who had walked down the stair was the two that Yu Sheen have noted in his mind to never come across to. One of the two was a man with a light brown hair and the other one was a man with a reddish brown hair who was had his whole palm bandaged, it was none other than Chu Sunni who Jung Hwa had broke his hand to.

Once Chu Sunji find Jung Hwa's face coming to his sight, his eyes laced with anger that he didn't try to hold back. After what had taken place last night, he could still feel the anger, shame and pain for his broken finger.

It had been a tacit agreement where pureblood vampires are the highest of their class and there would be no lower vampire who would be stupid enough to fight purebloods knowing the wide differences of their power. But Chu Sunji still couldn't accept the shame he had to go through yesterday where his finger was broken in front of a human.

On the other hand beside Chu Sunji was a man who looked only three years older than Chu Sunji with a feature of a foreigner named Gun Nam. His hair was light in brown color where his eyes were deep blue. When Gun Nam saw the young pureblood who was dressed in a dark grayish suit, he greeted a smile to the man.

"Mr. Jung." said the man. "Do you perhaps remember who I am?"

Jung Hwa looked to the man's face and nodded with a smile akin to a smirk. "Of course Associate Gun Nam." he replied briefly. The man was the acquaintance of his grandfather. He may look only a little older than the little ant beside him but in fact his age was close to his grandfather only to fall by a century behind.

It wasn't unusual for vampires to have a young appearance than their age however, Gun Nam looked younger than his peers.

"The last time we ever met each other was around the time where the birthday party of your grandfather, wasn't it? How is your grandfather?"

"He is perfectly fine." replied Jung Hwa where he noticed the blazing glare the little ant beside Gun Nam gave to him. "You should come visit at a time." he said out of politeness.

"I will sure come to visit." noted Gun Nam. "Speaking of it why are you here today? It is rare for you to come to the Associates."

"Yesterday a certain problem came by you see. Yesterday the man beside you came by the incident, you should ask him yourself." as Jung Hwa like pulling informations he wasn't fond of others tugging facts from him. He straightforwardly he shifted the topic, saying, "I have to meet the head Associates, excuse us."

With no further words exchange between them, Jung Hwa strode forward to ascend the stairs to be followed by Yu Sheen who nervously took a glance of Chu Sunji whose face was about to blow up while the elder vampire look completely unfazed. He didn't know what had transpired between the three people but regardless he could feel the tense air between them. Perhaps if he was not a half vampire by now, he would stay rooted now.

Giving the two a polite bow, he then heard a sound of someone coughing and knew that it was Jung Hwa's own way to call him. Yu Sheen cut short his greeting and scattered away up toward where Jung Hwa was in a hurry. Feeling a little like a mouse trapped between the vampires until he realized he had know become a vampire too.

Once Jung Hwa arrives to the study room seeing how the half vampire finally stopped at a room, he saw him knocking on the door twice for a gruff voice to reply,

"Come in." and Yu Sheen pushes for the double door to open.

The room was covered with woods. The floor was unlike the marbled floorings on the corridor it was made of wooden floorboards while the book shelves was all around the places even to the corner making it seemed as though the walls was made up of books. In the middle of the room was a man's with a distinctive feature and his black hair held a mix of white and gray strands covering the right side where his head began to part from.

Beside him was Deok Ji Hyeang who had turned his head to meet Jung Hwa's eyes where the two vampire greeted each other without a word.

When he saw Jung Hwa arriving to the door, a smile appeared on his lips. "Welcome, Jung Hwa good morning." The head Associates was named Gwe Jeoknim.

"Associates Gwe, good morning." Jung Hwa greet his tone showed respect to the half vampire. Unlike the previous head Associates, Gwe Jeoknim was not a pureblood vampire, he was a vampire born out of a simple family who soon found his way up from a lower status in the Associates to the head.

Yu Sheen quietly closed the door when Gwe Jeoknim stopped him from doing so by saying, "Yu Sheen come here and take a seat over there."

Yu Sheen pointed a finger to himself raising his brows in question. Me? Why me? What did I do? Despite his question he closed the door behind him and strode as silent as he could to the far corner of the seat keeping his knees against each other.

"Would you like a tea? I just brew it perfectly a minute ago it should be the perfect time to drink the tea now." Gwe Jeoknim offered with a smile.

"Then I will be taking up to your kindness." replied Jung Hwa to see Gwe Jeoknim pouring the red colored tea to three cups when he asked Yu Sheen who was sitting on the far corner, "Do you also want to drink a tea, Associate Shen?"

"I will be fine without it... sir.." Yu Sheen replied where his words broke in the middle of his words from his nervousness that fell on his throat.
