..... love is a powerful force.....

A woman suddenly came out from the kitchen and with widened eyes apologized to the man sitting on the left side table in the corner. "Ayayay, sorry to keep you waiting, sir?" It was then that Amor realized the man was not the owner but she was so dumbfounded she could not find the words to apologize. "Can I help you ma'am?" the woman from the kitchen called her attention. Amor heard her but for some reason, the man's gaze seems to have a gravity of its own and although she is not moving she feels like being drawn to him. It was too late for her to realize that the man has stood up and towered over her at around 180 cm in height, with just a foot distance away from each other Amor feels his gaze not only took her words away but also her breath. She was only awakened from the trance when the woman suddenly appeared in front of her, "Maam, excuse me but you are blocking the way."

"Huh?" looking around, she realized the man was waiting for her to either step inside or out so he can leave. Amor can only move 1 step away from the man but she still could not stop staring at him. The man went his way out and because of the narrow opening of the door, he cannot avoid bumping into Amor. Even after being bumped by the man, Amor still could not say anything nor even make one more move to make way. Upon realizing that he bumped into her, he paused for a second but immediately went on his way leaving Amor behind still staring until his way out.

"Maam, can I help you?"

"Huh?" just before Amor can respond to the woman her phone rang. The call was coming from Emily. "Oh..... no, I have not eaten yet," she thought. She then remembered the reason why she came to the store in the first place but she still needs to answer the call. "Hello?"

"Hello, Amor?"

"Emily."

"Have you taken your lunch?"

"Uhm..... not yet."

"Good, go back to the van. Our boss ordered packed meals, you can eat there so you won't have to go anywhere."

"Ah..... I see thanks. I'll go back to the van now."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye."

"Oh..... I thought I needed something but I changed my mind. Thank you though," she told the woman.

On her way to the van Amor let out a sigh, either it was a sigh of relief knowing that she still has time to eat or a sigh of disappointment because the man hurriedly left she is not sure but she can only give a smirk to herself.

One by one, Emily has called on the other recruits for the interview. The length of the interview varied from 5, 10 even 15 minutes but all of them came back unsure of the results. She wanted to be interviewed already to end her agony and so that she can call her mother to check on her younger children. Like an answered prayer her phone rang and it was Emily thus she answered the call immediately, "Hello?"

"Hello Amor, it's your turn now. Please come up here on the 6th-floor unit 615, okay?"

"Okay, I am on my way." Amor hurriedly got off the van and went inside the building and took the elevator to the 6th floor and scanned for unit 615. Pressing her lips, she took a deep breath and lightly knocked on the door thrice. Emily opened the door and ushered her inside, "Come in, have a seat."

Although it is only a 1 bedroom unit condominium, the place seems spacious for a 75 square meter area. By the look of the furniture and fixture, anyone can tell that the owner is a minimalist but far from boring. An aesthetic dining room good for 5 persons that provides a clean backdrop for the meals to enjoy by the family and guests. Clean living room, with a calming space for thoughtful curation and clutter-free area, which extends beyond the visual and actually results in a more, livable, and nurturing environment. The owner opted for a settee good for 4 instead of a sofa and a sectional stack nesting tables instead of getting a bulky coffee table. There was a vacant single chair in front of the settee and Emily ushered Amor to sit there, "Just wait for a moment, the bosses will join us shortly." After a while, a woman with pale skin, a small face, and a slim figure joined them in the living room. "Uhm..... Mrs. Kim this is Amor; Amor she is our mistress, Mrs. Kim," Emily introduced Amor.

"Good afternoon ma'am", greeted Amor but Mrs. Kim only gave her a stern look with an innocent puppy eye. "She looks adorable even with that stern look," thought Amor. After a moment, a man with clear, smooth, and fair skin joined them in the living room as well.

"Ah..... Mr. Kim this is Amor, Amor he is our master, Mr. Kim," Emily introduced Amor again. With a body shape that appeared rather muscular wearing a sharply stylish cut outfit, Amor can only hope he is not the same man he met earlier in the cafeteria.

"Good..... good afternoon sir," stuttered Amor but Mr. Kim only gazed toward her with no expression at all. Amor is now experiencing a surge of mixed emotions- a feeling of interest in the interview she is about to go through, a feeling of joy of seeing the man again, a feeling of distress knowing that the man can possibly become her boss, a feeling of anger toward herself for not being able to control the butterflies in her heart that seemed to have populated in seconds, a feeling of fear toward the woman in front of her, a feeling of anxiety whether or not she will have a job today, a feeling of surprise that she can still admire someone as beautiful as the man in front of her and a feeling of disgust to herself knowing that she is a married woman after all.

"I only have one question for you," Mr. Kim broke the deafening silence.

Amor took a big gulp hoping to silence the beating of her heart.

"How do you apologize if you mistook a person for someone else?"

Upon hearing the question, the mixed emotions were turned into a complex of emotions- a feeling of jealousy toward the woman in front of her, a feeling of guilt because she knows the question is a personal attack toward her, a feeling of shame that she considers the man in front of her as cute and charming, a feeling of sympathy for herself knowing that she needed this job and may not be able to have it at all, a feeling of pride to herself that she has not fainted yet even if she is already catching her breath, a feeling of gratitude toward Emily that even for just a moment she was happy and a feeling of contempt reminding herself that she is a married woman after all.

"Amor," Emily budged her.

"Oh.....," Amor wandered her eyes around the house to keep away from their gaze. "How do I apologize?" she thought. Even without looking at him, she can still imagine his high nose along with his small and slender facial features, which makes him fit into becoming a hero straight from K-drama. Having that in mind Amor learned from watching K-dramas that the custom of bowing is habitual and deeply ingrained in Koreans. She then stood up from her seat and bowed at about 45 degrees with her head lowered lasting for about the count of three.

When she lifted her head, he caught Amor's gaze and his face just shines like a light on her heart.
