NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6
Shin Nari's stomach began to churn as she read through the contract that demanded that she be dead, blind and mute to what goes on around her.
Simply put the non-disclosure agreement came with a hefty price. Slowly she began to question the logic behind coming to Cha Holdings.
"It will all be worth it if Aera becomes mine, I can't give up because of this...who says love comes easy."
Shin Nari squeezed her eyes shut as though in pain, the corner of her mouth turned white from being deprived momentarily of oxygen. Shin Nari twisted the cover of her stamp to expose the red end that had her name imprinted to stamp the pages that had Cha Aera's name.
After signing the contract Shin Nari could not hold back from prying into her boss's private life.
"President Cha, I have a very personal question that I want to ask you, are you okay with me asking?"
"Ask away."
Almost in a dramatic fashion Shin Nari placed the cover on the stamp and tucked it in it's case and went on to put it in her bag before sitting upright to look at her new boss straight in the eye.
"Are you in a relationship?"
'COUGH'
"Are you okay, President Cha?!"
When Shin Nari saw Cha Aera coughing she got up from where she sat across from her only to be stopped in her track by Cha Aera as the other didn't want her coming to her rescue.
Cha Aera took deep breaths to clear her lungs before proceeding to address the new hire.
"Ms. Shin you have a talent for surprising someone. To answer your question I have never been in a relationship although I've been told my standards are too high and I need to lower them in order to meet the right person. I'll have that if you're done."
To get over the awkward situation, Cha Aera switched the conversation while she studied the look in the eyes of Shin Nari. Her veiled expression gave nothing away of what she thought of her unusual encounter with her new driver.
