My Cutie President
[MCP] CHAPTER 14

"What's wrong with Zepha. The end of the day why is he always like that? Is there a big problem with her family or is she having a problem with her boyfriend?". Choi Woo Shik muttered after arriving at his room.

"Shhhhh...". Thinks.

"But at that time Zefa had said that she did not have a boyfriend. Does that mean he's always sad about family problems?". Ask yourself questions.

"Ah done... I have no right to know if it's his family's problem". Reciprocity.

"OK! Woo Shik~a, kajja!". Choi Woo Shik restores his focus and gets to work right away.

His fingers began to collide with the white keyboard. His eyes were unmoved and fixed on a single point, the monitor screen.

Choi Woo Shik is a hard worker who when he is working, his focus will not be distracted by anything before the things he does are finished. Including the ringing of the phone that had sounded and greatly disturbed its concentration.

"Oh yes, did Zefa finish the file or not? This file must be completed soon, because soon the project will be started". Choi Woo Shik muttered while his fingers continued to work.

"OKs... A moment". He stood up and walked out of his study.

Chequek...

After the door opened he rushed over to Zepha with a sweet smile. However, his steps stopped his face became excited. He was silent while making sure of the sound he heard.

"Zefa cry". Ask in the heart.

Yes, Choi Woo Shik stopped his steps because he heard crying from Zefa's desk. Of course it was Zefa's crying voice that had indeed since this morning looked uninspired.

He wanted to approach Zepha and calm her down, but realized he could not do as he pleased while in the office. Choi Woo Shik still has to maintain his professionalism.

"No, no need. I'd better let Zefa vent her grief. I can ask the file later". Say it in the heart.

Choi Woo Shik passed by leaving Zefa still with her tears. This time he understood Zepha who was in grief even though he did not know the obvious reason why Zepha has always been like that lately.

Choi Woo Shik returns to resume his pending work. His focus was a little distracted because he was still thinking about Zepha.

"Come on Woo Shik!". Choi Woo Shik sipped a glass of water and refocused his work.

A few hours later, lunch time arrived. He immediately got up from his desk and approached Zepha.

"Zepha". He said as he arrived at Zefa's desk.

"Yes Sajangnim?". Sahut Zefa smiled.

"Come with me". Choi Woo Shik then walks out of the room.

Without refuting Zefa obeyed Choi Woo Shik's orders and walked behind him. I don't know where Choi Woo Shik will take Zefa. Hopefully he doesn't scold her because Zepha again lost his focus on work.

The glossy black-colored car sped up and slowly left the company. The pace is relaxed and not as fast as when going to a meeting outside the office. Where are they going?.

No more than five minutes, they had arrived at one of his always favorite places. Yep, that's right. Choi Woo Shik takes Zefa to Joddy's cafe.

Arriving there...

"Later tonight is tennis, right?". Joddy asked as Choi Woo Shik and Zefa had just sat down.

"So... I'll pick you up later". Choi Woo Shik as he gives his atm card.

"Ordinary kayak?". Ask Joddy.

"Hm". Choi Woo Shik nodded.

"Ok, wait!". Excited Joddy who then ran to immediately make orders for his regular customers.

After Joddy left...

"Oh yes, the file I asked for is done?". Ask Choi Woo Shik.

"Sajangnim. Sorry, the file just finished". Sahut Zefa smiled.

"Not a problem". Choi Woo Shik smiled.

"Hmm, by the way... At the end of the day I see you crying a lot. Like earlier". Choi Woo Shik asked carefully.

Zefa was shocked and then silent.

"Ehh, I'm sorry Zefa I don't mean to interfere in your personal matters. But I just don't feel comfortable seeing you like that". Said Choi Woo Shik increasingly make Zefa sculpt.

"Not comfortable in the sense that I'm afraid you're like that because of me. I don't know what the problem is but if it has anything to do with me, obviously I would feel remiss about my obligations that should make you comfortable working with me". Evidently.

"So I ask if it's because of me or because of work, don't hesitate to talk to me about it". Reciprocity.

"I'm sorry before. I'm sorry if my final attitude is often strange. But I'm not what". Zefa.

"Sajangnim does not need to feel guilty because this has nothing to do with Sajangnim". Smile at.

Choi Woo Shik was speechless as he stared into Zefa's eyes.

"Don't hesitate for my same story. I can be your boss and friend". Her speech.

Zefa fell silent again, this time longer than before.

After a while. Zefa looked at Choi Woo Shik with her sparkling eyes. Zefa looked like she was holding back a cry.

"I may know, what is the reason Sajangnim personally recruited me as Sajangnim's private secretary?". Ask Zefa.

Choi Woo Shik was silent, he did not expect the question to be raised by Zefa. Although he actually knew that one day the question must have existed.

So far not many know about the reason for recruiting Zefa personally. Joddy, only Joddy knows the exact reason.

"That's obvious because you're talented at a branch company. Not only me, but also the superiors there are very confident in your abilities". Choi Woo Shik's voice dodged and hopefully Zefa believed it.

"really right? Sajangnim didn't recruit me because I was being kind to Sajangnim right?". Zefa.

"We've never met before, have we? Even the first time I met it was on my first day of work as a secretary. Is it Sajangnim?". She nodded with a nearly broken cry.

"Have I ever teased Sajangnim and asked to be a private secretary?". Her tears were unbearable again.

"I myself do not believe that Sajangnim recruited me even though Sajangnim knows that I have no basis in this field!". Reciprocity.

"So what's my fault? I've tried so far, Sajangnim. My fault what?". Said Zefa while crying.

Zepha wiped her tears.

Choi Woo Shik is confused, he is very confused by what Zefa said. Nor does he know what to answer.

"What does Zepha mean? I don't understand. Absolutely not understand, but why do I feel so sick to squirm Zefa cry before my eyes? It's like I'm a problem for him". He murmured in his heart.

Choi Woo Shik scratched his eyebrows and looked very confused. While Zefa was still trying to stop her crying, the more she spoke the more she became.

"Honestly, I don't understand what you mean. But... I'm sorry if that's why you've always been like this. And...". Choi Woi Shik sighed.

"You're not wrong, you're not wrong at all. So, please... Don't cry anymore yes, the effect is like me that does make you like this". Reciprocity.

"Looking at you like this, I can't Zepha. I'm weak". Choi Woo Shik is seen speaking with great sincerity.

Zefa was astonished by the words of her boss, she fell silent as she wiped her tears. Her crying started to subside even though her smile was still hiding.

The lunch hour that was almost over brought Choi Woo Shik and Zefa back to the office. They had finished and ended the lunch this time with a sad atmosphere. They both looked uninspired and thought of one thing in common. But it should not destroy the mood of the two so as to interfere with their work.

Upon arrival at the office they began to refocus to do their duties. Choi Woo Shik leaned his body on the chair, his face looked like it was holding back tears and his heart was still in pain.

"Gue didn't really understand the same thing Zepha meant. Suddenly he was crying and continued to discuss about his recruitment. Confused is me".

"I might as well answer honestly. The timing is not right and I'm not ready either".

"But... Why did he come to talk about it? What the hell was it until he cried like that".

"Why am I so hurt to see him cry".

"Arghh...".

Choi Woo Shik continues to mutter with himself. Instead of starting to work he just contemplated word for word Zefa said while at the cafe. The words lodged in his mind so he lost his focus.

"Udah... I went to the rooftop again. Let my mind be fresh". Her speech.

Choi Woo Shik steps out of his room. Not to forget he also said goodbye to Zepha who was busy with his work. He was a little relieved to see Zepha much better now. However, he had already lost his focus and intended to calm his mind.

"Gue was surprised that Zefa was increasingly ignorant of himself. We often satirize him, but I don't think so".

"Hm, from what I saw he even more deliberately pointing at his insignificance in front of Sajangnim. The style of the caper is further strengthened, so it was also still gone both right with Sajangnim?".

"Ajid logic, where would a CEO of sports together with his subordinates in the city square? Try you think deh, Sajangnim also will not want times if Zefa does not woo and maksa".

"That's right. He will confess at all costs so that his foul intentions are met".

"Yep, so that he can quickly master the Sajangnim treasure".

"Eh but the parents of Sajangnim want ya have a daughter-in-law not class like him?".

"Yes obviously do not want to, Zefa is a class maid kali".

His footsteps that were originally very fast are now stopped right in one of the rooms when the door was wide open. There were also several staff members who were gathered and with their voices made Choi Woo Shik stand up and listen to their conversation from outside the room.

When he heard that, his heart grew even more sick. He clenched his hands as a form of impingement on his frustration. Seeing his staff gossiping and demeaning Zefa of course he would not be silent.

"Sir Hans, please come to my room right now".

Choi Woo Shik deliberately called Mr. Hans, the head of HRD in a loud voice and faced the staff who were gossiping.

Some of the staff were certainly very surprised and started to put on a panicked face, they were so scared. Plus Choi Woo Shik looked at them with very sharp eyes.

"The four of you go to my room immediately". Choi Woo Shik said to the staff.

Upon arrival in the workspace, Choi Woo Shik is now with Zefa, Mr. Hans and also the netizens alay.

Choi Woo Shik looks angry with the actions of the four staff. He was very unwilling to know that Zepha was treated so poorly.

"Sir Hans, I won't tell you what's at the heart of the matter here. But I asked Mr. Hans to take it so they wouldn't call me lying and exist". Choi Woo Shik.

Choi Woo Shik and everyone in his study were on the guest sofa to investigate what he had just heard.

"You four... Since when did you guys attack Zefa?". Choi Woo Shik's words made Mr. Hans and Zefa very surprised.

Zefa widened her eyes, she was really surprised by what her boss had just said. Because Zefa did not know at all that this meeting would discuss the problem with the netizens.

While the four staffs just fell silent and kept their heads down. Even one of them could only cry.

"Am I wrong to recruit talented employees to be my secretary?". Ask Choi Woo Shik.

"Before I signed Zefa, I had a discussion with Mr. Hans for a few weeks before I finally confirmed my decision". Reciprocity.

"In a company like this you can just compete to be better than your friends to get appreciation from the company, please. I'm happy to welcome you if your performance is good". Choi Woo Shik started to grow angry.

"I know your record during my time working here, there are also many reports coming to me about how you behave in the office".

"I don't worry about it, because I think you guys are just joking and there can't be any bullying in this company".

"But instead of you introspection now your attitude just becomes worse. The more you become, the more willingly to bully others, drop others' good names, slander them and worse, all the things you say about Zepha are wrong!". Said Choi Woo Shik in a slightly high tone.

"I'm not defending Zefa, but I know better what she is like and how she works!". Reciprocity.

"The person you're talking about is much better than you. At the branch company, he was already the head of the department, and his performance continued to improve so that he could now become my personal secretary". Her speech.

"While you are, just demeaning without a mirror who are you? What are your achievements and performance during your time at this company?". Reciprocity.

"Oh yes... The same thing you should ask. Don't don't you guys also ever play physical to Zefa?". Ask Choi Woo Shik.

"Sajangnim. They never play physically". Zefa.

"You're silent. I want to hear their answer". Choi Woo Shik.

The gripping atmosphere in the room made them really sculpt, silent and unable to say anything. One by one, they began to shed their tears. Obviously, who wouldn't cry if they were in that condition.

"Why be quiet? Answer it! I saw you talking so much, why are you crying now?". Choi Woo Shik is getting angry.

"Your talking weight doesn't match your abilities and performance!". Reciprocity.

"Sir Hans please rate it yourself. Today I am kind to you, I can forgive you with the note that I know you are still doing the same, please leave this company. Let's just say this is my last warning". Said Choi Woo Shik who then moved from his seat and left the room.

Silence was still felt in the room. Mr. Hans sighed and shook his head as a sign of his disappointment to the four staff. His face looked very angry and asked them to come to his room.

Zefa, he returned to his desk with a feeling that was still very unexpected that this problem became more complicated.
