Chapter 40: Everyone Has It Rough.
Lie Blu’s Apartment.Ae Ra’s POV.Chairman Jung… he’s been a bit different since the day that false news came out. Perhaps that’s what happens when you have a countdown to how long you have left to live hovering above your head. I stared at my reflection in the elevator glass.How much would I change if I was terminally ill? Would I be more honest with myself or would I be even more pretentious than I already was? Would I stand up for myself like people ask me to or would I be nicer and take everything life throws at me or worse… would I quit my job and go haywire?I sighed as the elevator door opened and my apartment floor came into view. Now that I’m unemployed, what can I do to occupy my time?A familiar silhouette was seated on the floor in front of my door. He wa

St. Mary’s Cathedral.Ae Ra’s POV.As I stood in the queue, the huge bald security guard in an all-black suit paid no attention to me while his slightly smaller colleague checked the guests' invitations. I was worried that someone might recognize me, so I covered my face with my hand. Although the rumours had died down, I didn't want to take any chances.For the occasion, I opted for a curly pinned bun, which made my face more visible. It was CEO Jung's recommendation, and it complemented my baby blue cottage core dress and bow-tied collar white blouse. Matching baby blue platform pumps, and minimal makeup. I completed the look with pearl earrings and a gold bracelet.Suddenly, someone bumped into me, and I hid my face even more while accepting their apology. I didn't want to risk being seen, as Ch

My Unlovable Boss Prologue: Inferno Night Club.
Lie Blu’s Apartment. Third Person.“What would it take to convince you to go out with me?!” Ha Na groaned as she watched her best friend, Ae Ra, tirelessly type away at her computer. Her long light-brown hair was tucked behind her ears and big round glasses rested on her straight nose covering half of her small heart face.Her round pink lips were tucked into her mouth in concentration, her doe brown eyes trained on the MacBook as she ignored her friend. She was dressed in a pair of matching white joggers and had a froggo headband seated cross-legged on the wooden floor “Earth to Ae Ra? Do you hear me?!” Ha Na waved her arms in an attempt to gain her friend’s attention. She’s been at it since she arrived and knew she wouldn’t budge from that spot all weekend if she didn’t intervene.“I’m sure we can go some other day,” Ae Ra replied, not taking her eyes off her Macbook. She loved spending time with her best friend, Ha Na, but she had work to do and a bigger part of her didn’t feel li
My Unlovable Boss Chapter 1: Hangovers Are Better.
Lie Blu’s Apartment.Ae Ra’s POV.Regret has always been inevitable, at some point in our lives we get hit with it and right now I’ve been hit with a heavy dose of it. I grabbed my head gently with a raspy cry. I could feel my veins pulsing and throbbing, it felt like my head was going to explode. The sunlight that streamed in through my curtains did nothing to help. My stomach had a painful and burning sensation gnawing at me and my throat was dry as the Sahara desert begging for water. I moaned in pain as I curled into a ball, my body ached starting from my waist up to my neck.What happened last night? Why can’t I remember anything? After what felt like hours of rolling around, I forced myself out of bed. If my body hurts this much, I must have gone overboard drinking with Ha Na. Something must have possessed me to get wasted because I only have blackouts when I get wasted.I dragged myself to the bathroom wincing and hissing from how unnaturally bright my pink room was. With an i
My Unlovable Boss Chapter 2: The Chairman's Response To Rumours.
Jung Group HQ.Third Person.Ae Ra adjusted the Chairman’s tie and gave him a quick look over. His calm grey eyes stared straight ahead of her as he patiently waited for her go-ahead signal. His greying hair was neatly combed back save for a few strands, which she quickly adjusted.Despite wearing a stern look, he had laugh lines deeply etched on his handsome face, which showed he lived a life filled with genuine laughter. He was dressed in a tailor-made black tuxedo that hugged his frame perfectly.She smiled in admiration as she took a step back. “You are all set, Chairman Jung.” She gave a little thumbs up with a toothy smile.With a deep exhale, Chairman Jung boldly walked into the room with his secretary, Ae Ra, hot on his tail. The executives and shareholders stood up in unison to greet him. She quickly took her place, standing just five paces behind him.“I’m glad everyone could attend the meeting despite it being impromptu.” Chairman Jung greeted them as he sat. The board foll

Jung Group HQ.Ae Ra’s POV.I forced myself to stand and pulled out my phone. With shaky hands, I dialled 119 but immediately ended the call. There were too many rumours flying around for an ambulance to come here. I called Him-Chan instead, Chairman Jung's Personal Assistant.If anyone knew what to do, it would be him. He picked on the first ring and I sent a silent thank you to God. "Please help. I-I don't know what to do." I sobbed."Miss Ae Ra? Slow down so I can understand you. What's wrong?" He asked, his baritone voice rid of emotion.I took deep breaths and steadied my breathing, having a breakdown right now wouldn't help the Chairman. "Chairman Jung, he was about to leave the meeting room but he lost consciousness," I responded as clearly as I could."Stay right there, don't call anyone else. I'll be right there." He hung up.I dropped beside the Chairman, "Please be alright, sir," I begged as I stared at his unmoving body. The rising and falling of his chest was the only thin
My Unlovable Boss Chapter 4: Breaking News.
Lie Blu’s Apartment.Ae Ra’s POV.I jumped from the offensive sound of my alarm, it was unusually loud this morning. Scowling with my eyes still half-closed I searched for the stop button and slammed it aggressively with an irritated grunt.An action I regretted immediately as pain shot up my palm."Ouch!" I whined as I rubbed the spot. "Stupid alarm," I muttered as I rubbed my tired eyes.To think it was just yesterday that the Chairman told me he was terminally ill. To wake up one morning mad at your alarm clock only to find out that soon you won't need an alarm clock anymore because you'll be permanently resting.I got out of bed with a heavy heart. Life was so fickle, it makes me wonder... if I were to find out I had limited time left on earth, what would I do? I wondered as I got into the shower and turned the warm water on.Have I lived a happy life? Sure, I have a great job with a roof over my head and enough money to go on vacation if I need to but I wouldn't say I have a happy

Jung’s Mansion.Ae Ra’s POV."I was able to dissuade the shareholders from holding the meeting. I informed them of your absence and they agreed to reschedule the meeting but they were not pleased by this. The reporters are still out staking, but in due time they will have to leave." Him-Chan informed us as he took a stand next to Chairman Jung.He exhaled deeply. "Thank you, Him-Chan. You have been most helpful.""It's not a problem sir. The least I can do for you is do my job well." He cast a glance at me.I tried not to take offence at his accusatory tone because I understood how bad it looked. Thankfully, I was much better since we left the office. The anxiety that had swelled within me had reduced drastically and my head was clearer than ever."I understand how this looks and why you'd think I did my work poorly," I paused to stare at Him-Chan before refocusing my attention on Chairman Jung. "But, this was not my doing, sir."He looked away from me. "I want to believe that you woul
