Four months later.
"Sir?"
No response. The secretary cleared her throat and lightly knocked on the desk.
"Sir?"
She jolted when he opened his dark circles-laced eyes and glanced at her in a deadpan stare. She inwardly sweated at his zombie state and promptly put a file on his desk.
"The papers are ready as you had asked for. Just need your signature."
Jin grabbed the file without much thought and signed it, sliding it back to her side.
"Y-You won't check it once…?"
"You said the file is ready so why do I need to check again?"
Her back straightened and she hastily picked the file. "You are right! There are no mistakes at all!"
She turned on her heels and rushed out at the first chance she got, sobbing inwardly.
When will Sir return to normalcy? I cannot handle the stress of his zombie state anymore!
Her gaze fell on the small unused secretary office where Jin would often gaze at emptily.
"Things were so peaceful when she was here too…" she muttered.
