Krystal looks at her reflection in the mirror. Today was no special day – just the usual as she have grown accustomed to. Weekdays.
Krystal is wearing simple working attire. A white strapless interior covered with a black blazer and a black knee-length skirt. It hugs her curves preciously. Krystal has a very nice body and curves, others would call her sexy but she never give a lot of attention to it even when they were praising her for that. For her, everyone is sexy in their own shape and size.
She finally finished, she lastly apply a cherry-flavoured lip tint onto her lips. Puckering them together, she was satisfied with how she looks today. She is actually not a fan of heavy make-ups, so she would always prefer the simpler one. Just a simple foundation, light eyeshadows, light mascara, and a lip tint.
She smiles at herself in the mirror. "There!"
Her I.D. was securely attached to her neck. She is ready to go to work, she was just waiting for her boyfriend, Nick to fetch her since his workplace was six streets ahead of yours. It happen every day; Nick would fetch her and drop her at her workplace before he goes to his.
Krystal and Nick were together for a year and a half now. Her love story start cliché actually – the simpler way how a boy got his girl. They met at a party on a summer night and turned out that she has mutual friends. Krystal got to know each other that night; talked casually and jammed together. After that, she stayed in contact, he courted Krystal and them officially together after two months.
Krystal heard Nicks's car honking. She immediately grabs her bag and quickly slide in her heels. she rushes out of her apartment, Nick welcoming you.
"Good morning baby." Nick kissed her cheek as he rests his left hand on her waist. Krystal warmly smile and kissed his cheeks too. "Good morning too."
Nick, who's in a suit, guides her inside the car. She slide in and thanked him before the door closes. He then made it inside and starts the car.
"Ready baby?" Nick asked her, his eyes looking at Krystal in sparkle.
she nod and said, "Yeah, let's go and get it." They giggled since they have used the word 'let's get it' a lot. Krystal and Nick do not know why it sounds so funny but it just does for the both of them.
Not wasting any time, Nick was off, the two of them were hitting the busy road. While on her way, both of them talked about everything – politics, nature, music, Krystal's day and night, and others. It was a fun ride nonetheless Krystal debated on every topic. The two of them were like childhood best friends who finally met each other after years of not seeing each other while she was at it.
A little later, the car parked in front of the tall and huge building. Nick got off and Krystal did the same. When she got off, she saw Nick scoff. "You should have wait for me to open the door for you."
"I got it. You don't have to do that every time. You're not my driver baby unless you won't look like one?" Krystal say jokingly and his eyebrows raised at that.
"Can my face only afford the look of a driver? I am offended, Krystal." Nick suddenly acts out dramatically – clutching his chest, pretending to be hurt.
Krystal laugh and rolled her eyes. "Of course not. That's why I don't want you to do that like you are serving me or whatever."
His boxy smile then flashes. He then pecks her lips. "I get it, baby. I know you don't want your handsome boyfriend to be seen and be assumed as your driver. I am too much for that role in your life anyways."
Krystal hit his stomach lightly. "So cocky, nick ." Nick just laughed and she roll her eyes again. "I should get inside and you should head off too or you'll be late."Nick nods pecking her lips again. "I'll see you later at night, yeah? Let's have dinner together."
Krystal smiled against his lips. "Hmm... I'll see you then." She pulled away and usher him to get inside his car, driving off.
And then, there she is, standing in front of the building. Knight Enterprises Inc.
Krystal has been working there for more than six months and she's been liking the soft flow of her work here. She is under the monitoring team of the company where she would track the deliveries and ships of the products of the company. Working in one of the biggest companies in Korea was not easy to buy Krystal is happy with where she is now.
Krystal enters the building and unto her department. She greeted everyone so cheerfully as she enter.
"Good morning!" Krystal smile enthusiastically at her co-department but she was greeted with worried and unamused faces. Most likely, they are panicking.
“Krystal! I thought you're not coming today." Jenny called, her face was in total distress. Krystal was curious and started to worry too, so she ask. "Why would I not come? What is happening?"
Jenny gulped. "The reporting of the stocks was moved today."
"And what is the problem? We have finished and prepared everything last week, didn't we?" She asks her calmly, later, her eyes travel into others' faces. It was supposed to be next week but she and her co-members have prepared it since last week, Krystal doesn't understand why they are panicking about it.
"Yes, we did." Justin, your co-worker too, answer but their faces did not brighten up. Krystal worries peaked, she start to panic slightly too. "What is the problem?"
"Well..." Jenny cleared her throat. "Mr Jason is sick and took leave and there's no one to present it today. The CEO will be at the meeting and he will hear our report directly but Mr Jason is not here."
And that is the problem for Krystal, for all of them. In monthly meetings and reporting it has always been Mr Josan, the department head, who would give the reports. None of them has done nor has the experience in doing so.
"What do we do?" She asks them.
"Well, earlier, we-we decided that you would do the reporting." Jenny blurts and you have your eyes blink, then, widen.
"What? No. I can't... I don't know how to – why would you sent me?"
"I'm sorry Krystal but you're the best we got. The meeting will start in five, come on!" Jenny drags her out of the department room, unto the elevator and Krystal did not have time to complain or repel. She presses the last level.
While the two of them were inside the already moving elevator, Jenny hands a folder to Krystal. "Here, those are the copy of the stocks shipped and claimed deliveries of stocks last month. And this –" she hands Krystal a flash drive. "– that is for the PowerPoint. You already know everything so there is no problem, you can answer all their questions."
Wow.
Krystal just stare at her. "This is unbelievable, you are unbelievable Jenny."
"I know I'm sorry." Jenny look apologetically at Krystal. "You'll do great, you always have." Krystal is about to say something but the elevator opens and Jenny dragged her again into the hallway until the two of them was in front of the large door.
Krystal stare. she gulps. Jenny looked at her and pull her closer and whispered, "Good luck! I heard the CEO is very hard to please."
Krystal's heart raced at that and before she could run away, Jenny opened the door and shove her inside.
Krystal's knees feel wobbly and sweat starts to pour out from the pores of her hands. She can feel the back of her neck grow cold and her hair stood up; she's having goosebumps. Her heels cane onto the ground where she stands, Krystal is unable to move. She was twitching in anticipation and fear. The beat of her heart quickened when her eyes scan the inside of the room. There, in front of Krystal were her higher-ups, heads of the different departments of the company. They wear clothes that do not match hers and they all look intelligent; she feels really out of place and inferior. She is not equal to them. Krystal mutter a swear word inside her head and she promised that she will beat Jenny for putting her in this situation after this. And as she stands there, they have their eyes fixed on Krystal. Oh god. She can't do this, she just can't.
"That is all for my part." Krystal politely smiles as she faces the board of directors. She heaved a long sigh. She have now finished talking and she was relieved. "Well done, Krystal." Mr Nathan claps his hands and bobs his head, pleased at her performance. she shyly smiles at him. "Thank you, Mr Nathan." Krystal is so desperate to go out but she knows she cannot. Her insides were begging for her to exit but it's impossible. she is obliged to stay until the meeting is adjourned even when her part is already finished. "Is there any questions?" She asks. As she stand there, waiting for questions and clarifications to be raised, the pair of eyes that had been gawking at her like she's its prey did not leave her, not even once. Krystal her name keeps on repeating in his head, l
The next day, Krystal enter the office happily and positively. The date last night with Nick was amazing and it made her feel really fine. The smile on her face is wide, reaching her ears. Nick never fails to make her feel fine all the time, Nick is her happy pill. As Krystal enter the office, Jenny sees her and notice her bright face. She quickly walks towards Krystal, unnoticed. "What's with the bright face?" Krystal shrieks, she breathes hitches. "God, Jenny! You scared the life of me." Jenny only laughs at her and Krystal walk past her. "You did not answer my question, Krystal!" Jenny follows her and Krystal ignore her. "Did you and Nick do it? Is that why you're so happy and blooming today? Was he amazing? Was he big?" "Jenny!" Krystal roar, eyes growing wide at her blunt words. Jenny jumps at her feet, stumbling a little backwa

She is following him silently and everything was awkward for her really, and Krystal is very much intimidated by him. As she is following him, she is wrecking in nervousness. Krystal keeps on thinking about what task has she forgotten to do. Her mind whirl here and around, recalling things from yesterday. She really doesn't remember him saying or have ordered something for her to do, she is sure of that. "Oh god, did I mess up now?" Krystal bit her lip as she fidget with her uncalm fingers. At this point, her mind was out of space that she is not even conscious of where she is. Krystal continuously walks forward following the CEO but you still can't focus. Xavier side-eyes her and witness her playing and nibbling with h
Preview chapter:- Following him unto which seems to be the endless room, Krystal highly shrieks when she stumbles onto her own feet. Her legs got entangled together, body shamelessly falling. Krystal voice echo throughout which made Xavier hastily turn around and thankfully catch Krystal before you fall to the ground with her face. Her body then landed unto a hard chest as her hands' grip unto a broad shoulder. _____________________________________ It was Xavier. Both of them had fallen to the ground together with on top of him. Xavier back contacts the floor, Krystal faces on his chest now, and she is between his legs. Krystal hears him groan in pain. Her eyes widen and she quickly stands up, or try to because when she does, all the lights turn off a blackout. Krystal shriek once again and
Warning: Sexual content ahead! Sunday came too fast, too fast for Krystal's liking. Dark palletes are covering the sky above as she grazes outside the balcony of her apartment. She stares at the beautiful moon silently but soon gasps when she feels two strong arms snake around her waist and hugs her from her back. Krystal turns her head and sees Nick looking at her. His eyes are veneering in sadness as they meet hers. Krystal's heartaches, tonight is his last night here. His last night to spend with her. Although they two have spent the whole weekend together, not separating, she feels it wasn't enough. Nick would leave tomorrow. She wasn't ready to let him go, not ready for him to leave her. She'll gonna miss him so bad. Krystal sadly smiles at him and he rests his head on the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent on the process and he tightens his
Kindly read the A/N at the end!!! Krystal looks up at the sky, tears falling down her cheeks. She watched as the aeroplane join the 2 A.M. clouds, slowly scurrying away, disappearing little by little as seconds pass by. Nick left and she cannot help but feel brokenhearted. No, They two did not end their relationship, they are still together but she can't stop the feeling of being broken, torn. Krystal and Nick will be thousands of miles away from each other, she can't avoid being worried. He is on the other side of the world where he can and will meet new people, live in a completely new environment. Change is possible and she is afraid. Doubts are growing thicker inside of her. Krystal is afraid of change. She is even terrified for Nick to change and forget her. She is terrified that he will find someone else and love someone else. Th
Krystal and Xavier enter the elevator silently. Krystal is curious about where he is taking her. Her nerves are going jittery, nervous she is. Krystal recalled the last time she went with him, just the two of them and what happened that day. The scene flashes right in front of her eyes and Krystal have her eyes tightly close. She doesn't want that to happen again, she doesn't even want to think about that. She doesn't want anything to be repeated or anything close to that. Opening her eyes, she clears her throat. "Ahem... uh, where are we going Mr Knight?" Xavier looks at her then, back to where his eyes were before, forward. "Dinner." He simply says and her eyebrows furrow. "Dinner? You're having dinner? It's only –" "It's past seven, Krystal." He cut her off and she quickly look at her wristwatc
