I knew it’s you

Samantha woke up at around 8 in the morning then started prepping up to go down to have breakfast. Since Ivy woke up earlier she is already done with breakfast and when she opened the bedroom door after she return she saw Sammie stretching his arms then started rubbing her eyes.

"woke up already?"

"hmm" Sammie nodded

"I tried waking you up earlier so we can have our breakfast together but you were still sleepy so I go ahead on my own" Ivy explained feeling a little guilty for leaving her behind.

"It's OK. I really had a hard time sleeping last night. Maybe I'm just too excited. Hahaha!" she giggles while she heads to the bathroom to wash her face and then changed her pajamas to decent clothes before heading down to eat.

In the hotel's restaurant,

She was alone in the table since the others already ate early. Since their schedule to today will start at 12 in the afternoon she didn't rush and took her time to enjoy the food.

She was seating near the glass wall and the sun gently kissed her place white skin. She hadn't shower yet so she just tied up her hair in a messy bun. She is wearing a plain pink shirt and a knee length denim skirt. She didn't bother putting any make up nor lipstick that morning. Technically, she looked bare but still appealing. While she was enjoying her meal she didn't notice someone glaring at her direction and occasionally glowering at her.

"I knew it. She is Miss Saavedra. But, why does she looked so different last night. Did she do a makeover?" thought Mr. Kim. "She really must have idolized that guy like crazy, she turned to a different person overnight. But I prefer her makeover though. She is indeed pretty" He still can't stop pondering.

When He is done with his breakfast, He picked up his coffee and headed to her table planning to join her.

"Miss Saavedra, it's nice to see you here. I actually thought I'm seeing things. It's nice to know that we are on the same hotel." Since she didn't say a thing he continue talking

"Can I seat here? Are you alone or waiting for someone?"

Still in shocked she nodded her head "I'm alone, go ahead" since her mind was occupied by the thoughts of her Idol, she forgot about President Lee and Mr. Kim's existence. She then regretted not putting even a simple make up when she had her breakfast.

"I knew it was you when I saw you last night. It's just that you looked different. You looked beautiful … oh I'm not saying you're not always pretty but you were more attractive and classy last night. Hmm, tell me you did a makeover, right?" teasingly he asked her.

She just gave him a gentle smile, nod her head then continue eating. After a few seconds she suddenly remember something. She deliberately changed her look when she applied at LMK Corporation.

She admired President Lee's work ethics and dedication. He was awarded as the top most outstanding Businessmen for 3 consecutive years by the country's major award giving body. Thus, she really wants to work there. So technically saying Sammie have 2 idols. President Lee and Chris Monteverde. But the latter is more like infatuation than admiration. She really did strive hard to be his office assistant. Although she is BA Mass Communication Graduate her good grades, personality and wit helped her secure the post. Not to mention she graduated from a prestigious university in the country.

She was confident with her body, looks and intelligent but she was told by a friend whose sister works in LMK Corporation that the president does not prefer beautiful employee in his office but rather prefer the average smart looking ones. For whatever reason no one knows and no one dares to speculate.

Therefore, every day at work She would wear her signature big black framed eyeglasses without grade, an up do hairstyle, minimal make up, nude lipstick and her skirt is always at least 2 to 3 inches below the knee. In short, she purposely sported an old maid look.

"I... Mr. Kim, can I ask you a big favor?" this time she already stopped eating but playing her food using her fork. She lowered her head while waiting for his respond.

"hmm… sure, so long as it's not money matters …" he paused for a while then laughed. "Just kidding, Go ahead. what is it?"

She looked at him with her lips slightly pouted and her eyes like she was begging him. "am… can you keep this a secret?" she hesitated for a while for she doesn't really know how to reason out in case he asked.

"Alright! I understand. You are worried that if people in the office finds out you really did a makeover just because of your idol then they might laugh at you or look down on you for this childish act, am I right? While sipping his coffee, he stared at her with a wearily look.

She really doesn't know what to reason out and doesn't want to tell the truth either but luckily Mr. Kim came up with a better explanation for her. She slightly lowered her head and said "Yes" in her soft and gentle voice.

"Don't worry I got you covered. I'll keep it a secret. But you owe me one." She assured her.

"Sure, I'll treat you Lunch and Dinner." She is smiling now.

"For a week. Then that a deal!"

"oh OK… But how did you know it's me? Is it really that obvious?

"Well my dear little sister, I've known you for more than three years now. I've been observing you since day 1 and although you improve a lot professionally speaking, there are things you can't hide and control. you know what gives you away?

"am, what?" her eyes full of anticipation.

"Your mannerism, you always tap the table using your three little fingers when you anxious or nervous. And also that cute mole on your chin." he added

before she can even respond he speak again.

"Others might be fooled but not me." then he laughed

"Yeah right!"

He started laughing again when he saw her rolling her eyes and pouting her lips.

He looked at his watch then puts down his coffee and stand up "Oh well, I'll go ahead now; I'll be making preparations for President Lee. Enjoy your day!" she thanked him before he left.

Mr. Kim have long been gone but Sammie was still in daze. She really wanted to tell him the truth but afraid that he might misunderstood her intentions. She actually felt guilty since Mr. Kim had been very kind to her since the very first day she started working at LMK Corporation. He even called her little sister. While she treats him as an older brother. Their personality clicked well and if there is someone she trusts in that company the most that would be him. "I'll tell you everything when the right time comes." She uttered.

They've been colleague for more than three years now, she remembers when she was still the new office assistant. She would always make mistakes but Mr. Kim is very patient in dealing with her, he would always advise her not to panic specially in front of President Lee. He would uncomplainingly teach her everything and soon enough she became a competitive employee then eventually promoted as office manager after a year.

Since they are super close people in the office would often mistake them as a couple. At first they would deny it and clarify their closeness but whatever justification they made they would not believe them. So eventually, they didn't bother explaining at all. Until, two months ago Mr. Kim announces that he is getting married then gave the invitations to their colleague. Although a lot of them were shocked they congratulated him still. Sammie is one of his bridesmaid and it only proves that they are just close friends as what they claim to be. Then the rumors about them died on its own.
