HR
Min Ji
Min Ji settled into his office, considering the scene from the morning, before hammering on the intercom for Cheng.
Cheng Gi
Cheng jumped to his feet, knocking a stack of papers to the side.
Coming!
Ow..
Limping down the hallway, he bursts into his boss' office.
Min Ji
So good of you to join me, where were you? Chatting up Ann again?
Cheng Gi
She had some paperwork I needed to get for her.
Min Ji
Is she signing your time sheets now? I asked you to have the contract ready in case I wanted to sign the resource right away.
Cheng Gi
Surely you're not going to hire her? She was rude and talked back.
Min Ji
Yeah.. kind of reminded me of someone.
Cheng Gi
Who?! Not me. I'm a spineless worm, molded to your every whim.
Ann
Ann rapped on the door and peeped in. "HR has her file now. Did Cheng finally get those papers you asked for?"
Min Ji
Min Ji smirked at Cheng.
Cheng Gi
Pfft. That prospective employee dresses like some Chaebol kid. I didn't think you'd even consider her.
Cheng Gi
And after that display I can't believe you're going to offer her anything.
Daria
Ugh. I don't know how they expect me to keep finding these resources without vetting them first. I just want to bang my head on a desk some days.
Daria
Waits while the phone rings through, impatiently tapping her fingers against the desk.
Mamie
Walked away from her interview/first day feeling dejected. Why did she let her mouth get the better of her? She needed this job!
After a short walk to the gaming cafe, Mamie settles into a brightly colored high back gaming chair with a heavy heart.
Looking around at her crew, she decides to ignore things until she has calmed down and then will go back to humble herself and hopefully salvage the job. She couldn't afford pride.
Two hours later....
Mamie pulled off her cat ear headphones in the gaming cafe... Did anyone hear...
Sexy Gamer Friend
Your phone is ringing, your highness.
Mamie
"That's Empress to you," Mamie chided referring to her gaming character.
The game lays open in front of Mamie as she hammers the keys with effort.... looking around at her team of five boys. " >o.O<, I need tank now!!"
Sexy Gamer Friend
Answer your phone! Maybe it's HypeB!
Mamie
"Why must I work at some boring job when all I want to do is game!" Mamie whines as she answers the call. "Mamie, speaking."
Daria
Hello, Mamie I'm Daria from HypeB. I'm calling to...
Mamie
Mamie slams the keyboard, "Fire already, you daft cow."
Mamie
Oh. goodness. I'm so sorry, my little sister is playing this famous game. Maybe you've heard of it?
Daria
I don't have time for games. You are requested to appear at HQ on August 1st, at 7:45 a.m. You'll be-
Mamie
"Yes, sure. Miss.. Uh, yes. August 1st, 7:45 at HQ. Thank you, goodbye."
Sexy Gamer Friend
See, I told you.
Daria
What a weird girl. She didn't even want to know how much she would receive for compensation.
Daria
Ann? Daria says through the intercom...
Daria
Yes, but oddly so. She asked no questions. Just said she'd show.
Ann
Ann chuckled, this is going to be priceless, Min Ji is going to have her for lunch.
Sexy Gamer Friend
I guess since you're no long an unemployed bum, you can pay for some gimbap?
Mamie
Eww. Seaweed and fish...
Sexy Gamer Friend
For someone raised by a Haenyeo diver, I'll never understand how you can't like fish.
Mamie
Falls silent, thinking of the elderly lady the taxi had struck. How much the woman had reminded her of someone from Jeju.
Hey, rain cheque on that gimbap? I gotta check something out.
