Sweet as SUGAr
A day before the Event



Ayen
I was researching on some activities that would emphasize team building roles. and it made me think . . . .

" i think its best if they can participate on the games itself. They're the bosses anyway. It would be so much fun .. "

(phone ringing)

Staff
Ms. Ayen, someone at the reception area looking for Mr. Min.


Ayen
ok. hold on . . . (cheking Mr. Mins schedule)


Ayen
he doesnt have any appointment with a client today..

Staff
but she keep on insisting that she does have an appointment with the Boss. She insisted to wait at the lobby area. What shall i say ??


Ayen
Ill call you back. I'll ask Mr. Min.


Ayen
(should i knock, or should I just ask him on phone ? He might not be in good mood today) uhhhhhhhggggg !!!! Just knock Ayen ....


Ayen
Mr. Min, its Ayen, May i come in ?


Mr. Min
Come in . . .


Ayen
(That voice, ugghhh !! i cant get over it. Theres this electric current that keeps on entering my bones whenever i hear his voice.)


Mr. Min
Yes ?


Ayen
Mr. Min, someone wants to see you at the lobby. I just wanna confirm if you do have an appointment with her, that i just forgot to jot down.


Mr. Min
Her ?


Ayen
Yes.


Mr. Min
Deal with it. I dont have an appointment.


Ayen
Noted Mr. Min

( and i leave his office returning to my table. I tried to call the reception but the lines are all busy so i decided to go down myself )


Ayen
Ms. Erika, where is she ?

(she pointed at someone sitting at the waiting area)

Staff
she's been there for an hour. And she keep on insisting that she does have an appointment with Mr. Min.


Ayen
I'll deal with her. Thank you.

( as im headed to the woman sitting on the waiting area , my instinct is telling me to get my emotions ready for some arguments )


Ayen
Excuse Me Ms. . . . ?

( She looks at me with disgust, Scanning me from head to toe while her hand crossed with each other )

( my instincts are always right )

Its. Shane . Wheres Yoon ?


Ayen
hi Ms. Shane, Im Ayen, Mr. Min's Secr----

I dont care. Bring me your Boss, ---


Ayen
Im Sorry to interupt you Ms. Shane but I was informed that My Boss doesnt have any appointment with a client today.

Dont you know me .??? !!!


Ayen
You are Ms. Shane, did i get your name right maam ?

Where did you get the audacity to answer me back ?! dont you know me ?? every one in this building knows me very well.


Ayen
Im sorry if cant greet you properly Maam, its just my 2nd week being the secretary. Pardon me.

( that was me being sarcastic for 5 minutes ! )

Anyway, Bring me Yoon !! now ..


Ayen
Im sorry but i cant do that Maam. You should at least have a decent appointment with Mr. Min so i could ----

( **pak** ) - and she slapped me on my right cheek.

( oh my god !! Did she just slap me ?? did she justttt ---- ugghhhh .. my blood is boiling!! i wanted to fight back, slap her on both cheeks

i wanted to pull her hair as hard as i could and make her pay for what she did infront of other people. I didnt apply for this job

just to be humiliated by her. Let me teach her a lesson )


Ayen
With all due respect Ms. Shane. May i know your business with Mr. Min ?

its something personal ----


Ayen
Personnal things cant be entertain during working hours. Its 1pm in the afternoon, so if you still wanted to see Mr. Min, wait until 6pm.

How dare you ----


Ayen
Im sorry Ms. Shane, ill only entertain clients with important business matters with the Bosses. And thats what im told to do.


Ayen
So if theres nothing more to discuss, i'll excuse myself. Have a good day Ms. Shane

( im shaking.. as i enter the elevator, I almost sat down. I hate arguments, and i dont like someone shouting --- breath Ayen, breath )

( dont let this affect your job. I cant breath -- i need my inhailer ... )

( it was always in my pocket, wherever i go, i always bring this incase of emergency like this)

breath Ayen ..... breath .....

before stepping out of the elevator - i put back the inhailer on my pocket.

As im headed to my office ---


Mr. V
Yes...

i bumped into Mr. V at the hallway ..


Ayen
yes. Sir, what is it ?


Mr. V
will be leaving later for the team building activity tomorow, we need to go there earlier to prepare things for the assembly.


Ayen
Noted Sir. I already brought my things. and i already prepare some games as what Mr. Hope ask me to do.


Mr. V
ok good, then --- wait ... what happen to your cheeks ??

(He gently touch my cheeks-and it makes me very uncomfortable because his face was too close to mine. )


Ayen
i-im ok Sir. I-its just an alergy.

im not really good in lying. Oh please --


Mr. V
This is not an alergy.. I know what an alergy is -- what happen .. ?


Ayen
this is nothing Sir--


Mr. V
Dis someone slap----

(before he could be heard by any of the bosses, i put my hands over his lips to stop him from speaking--

and i think, that was one of the biggest mistakes i have done. So i immediately remove my hands covering his lips --- but,


Mr. V
This were the first hands that touches my lips. Anyway, we'll talk later.
