Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Chapter 49(How could you not be overjoyed)

He sneaked a glimpse at her and said, “Don’t change anything yet. We should be steadier during this booming period. For the time being, everyone may need to put in extra time. Also, tell the Human Resources Department to give this quarter’s bonuses as soon as possible.”

Everyone beamed hearing the word “bonuses”. Park Jimin and Liu Tong knew the bonus amount and distribution thereof. “We haven’t given our staff such a generous bonus for years,” said Liu Tong after reading the bonus plan.

Jisoo laughed alongside everyone else. It became cheerful and lively after the discussion of serious topics with people talking about different subjects, and no one noticed that Taehyung didn’t stop gazing at her keenly until her cheeks turned crimson and she began to feel awkward. He looked away, called the meeting to a close, and walked out of the room.

Jisoo sat still and looked at his back. She watched him walking, one footstep after another, as if they were stepping on her heart. Her heart followed his direction and couldn’t be soothed again.

What was love?

Love was when you thought you were able to handle your emotions effortlessly, but instead, you were like a floating kite, and one look from him resembled a tug on the string, pulling you back to his palms. Your body, together with you heart.

Jisoo had just returned from her travels, and following the meeting, several managers wanted to catch up with her. Even executives like Park Jimin and Liu Tong looked at her cheerfully and congratulated her on all her hard work and achievements. Nevertheless, she was a bit embarrassed by the meaningful look Park Jimin gave her before he left.

Jisoo talked with them for a while, but her mind had already snuck into another room.

Is he waiting for me now?

As the last stragglers drifted back to their departments, Jisoo walked to Taehyung’s office nervously. She put her hands on her side and felt some sweat lightly forming on her back.

Darn it.

She knew her face must be scarlet, because she felt like she been heated up. A few of her colleagues remained chatting in the corridor. Jisoo felt the more she tried to pretend to act normal, the more she was giving away her nervousness. She had to lowered her head to avoid eye contact with others and knocked on his doorly gently, while whispering, “Mr.Kim?”

“Come in,” he replied.

Jisoo’s body trembled hearing his voice. She saw Taehyung sitting behind his desk, holding a pen in one of his hands and a pile of documents in the other. He seemed to be checking them, and Jiang Yuan was standing aside, waiting.

Taehyung looked up at her the second she stepped into his office and ceased working.

Jisoo unreservedly surrendered herself to him and her cheeks continued to burn. Knowing he was still busy with work, Jisoo didn’t say a word, rather, she glanced at him, walked to the sofa along the wall, and decided to wait for him.

Jiang Yuan was also torn. He could have walked out the minute Jisoo stepped in, but the documents that he needed approval on were also very important. Besides, the process would only take a few minutes, and it was inappropriate for him to just walk out without instruction. He knew that for Taehyung, work always came first, and therefore he did not feel comfortable to just walk out without permission. Just when he was pondering what he should do, he heard Taehyung, whose eyes were fixed at Jisoo, said, “Jiang Yuan, would you go out first?”

Jiang Yuan blamed himself for not following his instincts to leave, but he responded in an unruffled manner, “Of course.” He walked out hurriedly, carefully closed the door and waited outside without making a sound.

The unspoken understanding between the boss and his assistant made Jisoo’s heart pound even more quickly. She sat on the sofa and looked at him fervently. Taehyung had already got up and walked to her. The sun cast the long shadow of his willowy body on the floor. The silhouette touched her feet, as if she were about to be swallowed by it. Jisoo felt anxious and stood up. It had been only two months, but Jisoo felt like she hadn’t looked at him so clearly and at such a short distance for years. She was still looking at that familiar strapping man with a distinctly contoured face. His deep-set eyes, high cheekbones and light skin appeared to be more elegant with his shirt on him. His eyes resembled an abyss, and one could be trapped inside with one look.

He stared at her in silence.

Jisoo silently moved her lips. Taehyung lower his head, stretched his long arms and embraced her. Jisoo couldn’t resist shedding tears any longer, and held his waist with her hands, while his hands were pressing her shoulders and waist with strength. Just like in the past, he wrapped her so tight that she couldn’t move a muscle. Jisoo’s toes were almost off the ground. In his embrace, she felt her body go limp and her breath begin to rasp. The entire room was quiet except for their heartbeats.

In a while, Jisoo heard him murmur slowly in a husky voice, “My Workaholic Sooya, my lady, she is finally back.”
