Hi I'm Married, But I'm Sleeping With My Boss

"Dear wife,

I know you've been wondering where I've been for the past months. I'm enjoying life peacefully and far away from you. I don't miss you, I swear. Why would I anyway?

I hope you have a nice time trying to pay off all my debts, for now just know i love you."

The text messages he sends never brought a smile on Meilin's face. It's been months since she last saw him in the house, she heard he got a new mistress. A rich one.

It wasn't new for him to cheat, she knew about all his lovers because he always compared them to her.

Endless tears poured down the sides of her face. She'd always get emotional whenever she reflects on the stupid mistakes she made. It was probably a curse casted after what she'd made her mother pass through in her silent hours. She was the only one that kept her mother moving but she selfishly left without thinking twice.

Her life was in ruins. She lost her mom, lost her baby, lost all her money but her husband never suffered any casualties. She had more reasons to key into her superstitions. 

She was struggling to stay alive and gather money anyway she could. She sold all her jewelries, house hold furnitures and her classy clothes. 

She was really depressed and unemployed at that moment. She had no one to turn to for financial assistance. A job was what she needed and she needed It fast. No matter the type of Job, she just wanted to pay off everything then her mind will be at ease as she divorces her husband.

All she needed was that one job.

Over at Haru's sight. He'd been living the lonely life he wanted. No one interfered. He wanted it because he thought it would make him happy but to his rue, It made him even more sad. People in his age grade got married and had a bright future to look up to but he didn't know what to expect from himself. With his multi persona self, he didn't want to invest too much confidence in success.

He wished he could see Ai jin face to face and apologize for everything he'd done. He was wrong but what he can never give her...the number one thing she d.e.s.i.r.ed was his love but that would only mean his deceitful and the new him wanted to change.

He's been hearing about her all over the news, she was pretty, there was no denying but he wasn't moved to the extent that he'd want an official relationship.

There'd also been rumors about her going out with a man. He wasn't jealous but filled with nothing but happiness for her. She'd waste her time with him. If he was her best friend, he wouldn't advice her to date him. He needed to take a vacation to the country side at the far east and blend with the natives a little. Fresh air was all he need.

A couple of weeks later Meilin found herself dressed casually as an elevator girl, paper brown skirt, red shirt and a white face cap. All she had to do was operate the elevator and make sure it's comfortable enough for the users even If it's not for her.

That was the only job she could get after getting humiliated time after time at different interviews she managed to stumble across this job. The yang enterprises were hiring, they promised to help the labour force by providing as many jobs as possible. They had dozens of firm workers and sub units. It was like a mini city in there but the building was somewhat big enough for all of them with high grade tech and nice scenery.

Meilin's salary was moderate but at least it was paid daily. She was qualified to have a better job but there was no vacant seats for her to work as a classed woman. Because of bao she forgot what happiness felt like. the growth of melancholy in her heart was inevitable. She was too stressed to even move her facial muscles to form a smile.

Some point out her flaws and report her to her emplorer. They say she's not friendly, She doesn't greet, she has an intimidating look, she's not that pretty and lots and lots of other unnecessary complaints. Working was never enjoyable for her, but the treatment she got from some elite class workers was cruel.

The head of the security service did advice her a few times on her daily mood but she was already accustomed to the frowns and the sadness. It would take a while before she's happy again especially with the way the forces of the world was against her.

More time passed and she was gradually paying off the debts. But it came with a price. she lost a lot of weight because she deprived herself from food and other delicacies. the costs of edible commodities inflated and the standard of living was a burden to low income earnners.

She'd be sick but she'd still go to work. Her health was deteriorating at a fast rate but her mind was too occupied with the bad debts.

She stood in the elevator, a hot afternoon and also the first day of her seventh month at Y.E, casually waiting for someone to come.

A Man walked in, hands in his pockets as he slowly leaned against the wall. His head was lowered and he said "thirty first floor."

She nodded monotonously and pushed the button. The lights went out and the elevator stopped.

A wave of fear struck her straight in the face when she realised the elevator was really stuck. Her claustrophobia kicked in and she began to breathe in while smashing the buttons frantically.

"Hey what are you doing!" The man from behind called her but she still kept on, her legs wobbly from the darkness and the thought of staying in the elevator until the air supply fades.

"Hey calm Down okay" The Man took her by her Hand and pulled her close to his body "Just breathe steadily. Follow my rhythm" He softly whispered into ear as he breathed in a slow pace for her to follow.

In a matter of Time she was a bit relieved and she slowly wrapped her arms around the unknown man as he made an emergency call "Haru Jun Yang speaking. The elevator came to a stop somewhere around the seventeenth floor. Please fix this problem and fast. A woman is here with me."

And so the love story of Meilin and Haru began with that one elevator encounter, the warmth of their bodies, it all felt too similar, Haru had that feeling he'd seen her before especially when they got out but he didn't want it to seem like a casual claim. 

That didn't kill his interest in her. He was ready for a love story and he knew it would be with her.
