Episode 5

CHAPTER 5

"Please prepare some personal protective equipment for our guest." I said firmly.

Mr. Arya nodded and immediately left.

"Sorry if it's not polite but I don't allow a lot of people to take part in this tour. The more people that are unwanted, the greater the events that occur."

"But that's not possible. Some of these people are President Kim's special bodyguards. We still have to bring them along," said a man beside Steve's right.

"You are my responsibility. Here I decide. If it is not able to fulfill what I offer, I do not allow this tour to run" I said firmly.

"Never mind Gerald. Just bring one of them and the rest are waiting here," said Steve final.

The secretary seemed to want to say something but it didn't work. He could not refute the words of his boss.

Mr. Arya returned and handed over several safety helmets. Each of us wear it. Besides that, Mr. Arya brought a pair of shoes for me. I do have special shoes for walking on the project when I tour or inspect.

I took off my heels and started wearing my shoes. After finished I saw Steve who smiled and looked at me.

"I didn't expect you to release your heels, Miss Crisya," he said quietly.

"Sorry to disappoint your expectations, Mr. Steve. But safety is first." I reply nonchalantly.

I gave a gesture to let the group walk first.

During the tour I was beside Steve. Turns out this man is very professional. During the tour he asked various critical questions. I was nervous when my answer didn't satisfy him. Luckily I didn't show it but it scared me a little.

We walked in front of the half-finished apartment building. This is the second time I'm handling a luxury apartment project. This time the project was very large with quite fantastic funds. Considering the person who funded it was a company like Next Corp, I was sure there wasn't that much.

"Behind your polite and neat appearance you are a smart woman." said Steve.

I almost rolled my eyes as he emphasized the words polite and neat. He really teased me.

"Appearance doesn't always show who you really are, Mr. Steve."

He smiled thinly chimed in the words that quite struck me. I don't like to be looked down on.

"I like it."

We returned to the meeting room at the beginning of our meeting earlier. When on the way I saw one of the workers under a pile of wood being lifted. I saw the wooden stand seemed unstable. And the person below doesn't even realize it.

I ran fast towards the worker and pulled him away. I heard a loud scream when I fell down on the ground with the worker earlier. And followed by the sound of loud thuds not far from me.

I glanced at the wood scattered on the ground. Fortunately, I was able to save him more quickly before falling.

Suddenly a large crowd of people stood around me. They look worried.

"Miss! Are you all right?" asked Mr. Arya in panic.

"I'm fine"

"Are you all right, sir?" I asked the worker sitting next to me.

"Y-yes," he answered stuttering with fear.

"But miss your hand." Said Mr. Arya in surprise.

"Deserves pain." I say with a little smile.

Gosh it hurts so much.  I cried.

"Please take him to the nearest hospital. I want this incident report as soon as possible in my hands "I ordered.

"Disband!" I snapped.

"But your hand Miss?"

"I'm fine. Isn't there a first aid kit in your office, Mr. Arya? Let's go there. "

Everyone slowly dispersed. I tried to stand up but the pain in my ankle made me numb. My body was a little swayed and immediately caught by someone.

I turned my head. Steve holds my shoulders to help support me. I whimpered a little as he straightened my body. I think I sprained my ankle. And maybe a little swollen.

"You should go to the hospital, Ms. Crisya."
